Tralalalala

dress-Forever21 tights-smart set shoes- yoki purse-thrifted


I just got this purse on Saturday from Value Village, and I LOVE IT! It was like three bucks!

 See how rooooomy it is?

 I also got some neeew shoes! I love them, they are so nice and light for summer! When I put them on, I thought, wow these are really weightless! Well, I've been wearing docs for about 3 months so it did feel nice.



I also got these orange socks. I'm not too sure what I'll wear with them yet, but I'll figure something out.
 SEE THE YELLOW SPARKLES??


YAY. It feels so weird to hear other bloggers talking about exams because mine aren't till the end of June! I'm probably most worried about math because I'm not the best at it. I'm kind of more right brained than left. A few weeks ago we had a career day about construction. I was totally bored by it, but I got a day off, so yay. Apparently after grade 9 you go on one every year. I asked a friend in grade 11 what the others were about and she said they were kind of the same. I really don't understand that because there are  other jobs in the world other than brick layers! I mean, why couldn't we tour an art gallery or an art school? Or even have a a day where we can learn about journalism or teaching or art or design? Gah. This frustrates me! If you could have a whole day devoted to construction, why can't there be one about the arts???

that was my rant for the week.

The only thing you keep changing is your name

hee hee. did anyone get my ARCADE FIRE reference there??? hmmm? OK then. Anyways, let's just say that I'm really overtired because I had a math test and a first aid exam today and I have piles of math homework due tomorrow and I have to finish 2 yearbook pages by Friday which is really hard because the website won't upload pictures and when it does it takes 20 minutes. Why am I on yearbook? I really don't know. gahbooeekovertired. I finally got my hair done!!!! :) See:





I also finished my home ec project early, so my teacher let me make these from this rookie tutorial!






Yay. I also made a little nature corner on my desk, replacing my collection of old stuff.

Hee hee. Can you see Frida in the left corner? :)




A pin from my cousin's band, Oh My Darling.


Goodbye, see ya latah.

Beatlemania!

Hello hello! Sorry I have been absent for awhile. I went to a trip to Minneapolis for a band trip. It was really fun, and we went to valley fair and a baseball game that was 4 hours long. That was the most boring part, other than the super long bus ride. We also went to the mall of America, but we only had 2 hours to shop :( because the mall closed at seven because it was a Sunday. BUT I haven't told you the most important part yet! I feel like this right now:


Yes, a screaming Beatles fan! That is because I got THESE when I was in the States:

Hot Topic

H&M


Now the sunglasses are an interesting story. They are from a cool store that we found in  the top corner of the mall called Ragstock. It was full of neon spandex and oversized sweaters and colour blocked jackets. The most amazing thing was these sunglasses that I got for $5! On the receipt it actually said ROUND JOHN LENNON! So cool! Sorry for the crappy quality of these, they were taken on my webcam because my camera is currently M.I.A.in  the disaster of my room because I still have to unpack and stuff. UUURGH I am tired from getting home at eleven last night.....toodles and goodnight even though it is only 5:26 pm.

I drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

Hullo all. I kind of have a blogger slump. I cannot really find anything interesting to blog about except outfits, and that gets a little tedious. I don't really have an exciting life. The title kind of explains me right now. I started a blog, but my brain can't think of anything to blog about. I wore this today:

Top & Belt- thrifted   dress- mom's  shoes- docs
My really cool belt that has elephants and trees on it
dress pattern
Cool ring I got this weekend

bow nails

 I forgot! I made some new collages too.

ballerinas in space!



Just tilt your head a little to the left.....

Right then. Goodbye.

Rainbows Happy Ponies Sunshine

Hello people it feels like awhile since I've made an outfit post. Meh. Weird week so far. It just feels off. I don't know. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's ME!!! Oh my god I never thought of that before. (did you get my sarcasm there?) hmmmm? awkward. I wore this today. It's kind of boring and unartistic but whatever. I'm actually wearing jeans for once. Yup. It's a miracle.
Plaid top- Joe  Dotted top- Urban Outfitter  Jeans-Grg  Boots- Holland

The necklace I made on Sunday

MY WALNUT EARRINGS!

I found this headband in a drawer from when I was little. I think it's cute and it still fits!

In an Aeroplane over the Sea earrings!! :D

My beeeautiful yellow bow earrings that I lurve very muchos.
As Miranda Presley would say, that's all.

Collages

So I FINALLY scanned in some of my collages, after a few days of procrastination. One was too big to scan in, and unfortunately it was my best one. boo-hoo.


Yes, she is saying her bowtie is a camera.



How was your weekend? It's almost over. MEH. I've biked, sat in my room, watched CSI:NY and failed at doing Tavi's beehive. My hair is wayyy to thick and curly, and I can't have bangs or else they'll split in the center. Fortunately, my mother was a child of the 60's and she tried to do a french roll type thing on the back of my head. It kind of reminds me of the women in The Help. Anyways, I shall keep you informed of my hair escapade and show you when I succeed. I got really cute earrings yesterday! They are silver bows with yellow gems in them with a tiny yellow heart hanging off the center! They are very spring like. I have also been making things. I made a pair of in an aeroplane over the sea earrings (header pic) and a cool vintage-y black necklace. I'll show you later. Next time. I promise, children. (ya I know I'm weeiiird.)

BONJOUR

It's very cold out. Too cold. My fingers are numb from taking pictures and spending a while outdoors with a flimsy cardigan and no gloves. You: WOW MAREN YOU COMPLAIN A LOT! Me: YES I KNOW! AHH well. I am ok now. Anyways, I (obviously ) went outside and took some photos in my backyard. I think they turned out quite well. Here they are!
Cardigan-Mom  Shirt-hand me down  Dress (worn as skirt)- Topshop  Shoes-Brash 





I know it looks like I'm not wearing a skirt or pants in this one, but TRUST me, I am !



I am planning a post soon about my collages! I just have to get around to scanning them in. I don't have any homework. Maybe I'll go do that after dinner. I will. I probably won't. I am a HUGE procrastinator.

Much LOOOVE,

MAREN
