Getting back into the swing of things.

Upon my return from the sunny California, my oh-so-charming, ever-so-lovely boyfriend came all the way across the pond to stay in my home for a good long while. :)

We had a three months of amazing time together. I cannot even begin to explain to happy memories, nor do I think I want to. Some things best left personal yes ? 

I will say that he will be back in only a few days ! We found him a nice American university, and now he's ready to begin his studies abroad ! I'm glad to have him by my side. 

I do believe that's it... I have an outfit post to put together, and I've been in quite a make up mood lately, although I've done absolutely nothing about it. I need to get back into my photographing zone !

Hopefully I'll stay on top of things once the boy's back on a more permanent basis, it'd be nice to have my own photographer rather than the great old tripod I have to lug around...

Ta ta !

Outfit of the day ... July 17th 2011

hat ... Forever 21

cover-up ... Givenchy

pants ... H&M

heels ... Lucky Brand

I'm desperately trying to play catch-up here. Yes it's August. Yes I have tons of things I want to talk about, Huntington Beach included. But I have to HAVE TO go in order, oldest first. 

I had a graduation party to attend a few weeks ago, a pool/birthday/grad party. This is what I chose to wear. I think it might just be one of my favourite outfits I've put together. I'm loving my new beach hat, and the beaded bow is such a cute detail. The Givenchy cover-up is a perfect beachy touch. Don't be alarmed, I can't actually afford Givenchy. It's way vintage thanks to my Grandma working at the Givenchy manufacturing plant when she was a pretty young lady. She graciously gave it to me a few weeks ago, and I haven't been able to stop wearing it. My heels are also quite lovely. I love Lucky's relaxed boho fashion vibe. They're such a pretty colour, the open toe makes them laid back, and the wooden heel makes them casual. They also smell amazing. Leather mmm.

I don't want to start rambling in this post. But I will say I'm in the lovely California still and it's absolutely beautiful. I'm thinking this might just be my future home. Only time will tell :) 

Outfit of the day... July 16, 2011

shirt, vintage. tank top, Banana Republic. shorts, Angel's. boots, Frye. sunnies, H&M.


I have SO many things to post from the past two weeks, I feel quite a bit overwhelmed !
Although I'm not even home at the moment, I'm still trying to catch up on postings and such.

Nothing particularly notable about my outfit other than the boots I stole from my daddy. I always get tons of complements on them, and then I spill that they're in fact my father's, and that opens a whole new realm of conversation. That being said, they are quite a conversation piece.

So, I reaaally want to show you guys the lovely Huntington Beach, my current residence at the moment. First things first though, I need to get my camera fixed. :3 I always use my mother's Olympus for outfit shoots, and of course she didn't let me bring it with me over here. I am now stuck with a shoddy digital camera that is quite temperamental. I'm seriously contemplating getting a cheapo new one even though I'm trying to save for a nice model. hmph.

Speak soon !

Some thoughts ...

Howdy everyone !

I feel like it's been ages, but that's because I've been traveling !

So I'm currently in the lovely Huntington Beach California. It. Is. Paradise. End of story. 

I'm going to be going to the beach in a bit, but I'm going to go take a dip in the pool first. :) 

So... the above photo's are probably one of the best hair day's I've ever had ever in the history of everness. I've finally masted the art of curling with a straightener, which is good considering my lack of owning a curling iron... that's been on my shopping list for years. 

I do need to get my bangs cut, thank you haircutter for ombreing me but not hacking off my too-long bangs. >:( 

I did have one thing to say that is actually fashion/beauty related. Does the Justin Beiber perfume not look  pretty similar to Marc Jacobs Lola ? I don't like it... the Beibs being associated with Jacobs - even indirectly- is terrible. I smelt the little sample in my Seventeen, and it was bearable. I'll stick with my lovely Lola though, I'm a bit more classy. ;)

Outfit of the day. July 9 2011.

Had to go to a funeral a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to dress in drab black like everyone thinks they have to do. I feel like I was formal, but at the same time offer a bit of cheer with my floral print. It was a happy service anyhow.

Forever 21 and a bit of H&M haul. Oh, and American Eagle too !

When my friends and I took our little trip to the lovely NYC, we of course had to do a bit of shopping... How can one resist? Forever 21 was a must-go, considering how massive it is. We nearly missed HowToSucceed. H&m also is one I always like to go to in the city, since the one we have near us is... limited at best in the items they have. Without further ado...

H&M ... $29.95

I'm always the last girl to get on the trend wagon. Example. This peterpan collar dress. I absolutely adore the collar. The problem with this dress is it fits my waist and hips perfectly, but my chest is too... chesty. I couldn't not buy it though :( I'll bondage down my lovely ladies just to wear this, it's such a lovely colour and style. 

Love 21 (Forever 21) ... $24.80

Looking at the price now, I think that is a bit ridiculous. I usually swear by the sale rack, so I honestly don't know what I was thinking. It is a pretty blouse though, and it'll look lovely tucked in shorts or flowing over jeans.

Forever 21 ... $8.80 

I don't have a nice variety of jewelry yet, and this seemed like a nice basic piece. I love the braided bit at the top; it'll go nicely with casual or formal wear.

American Eagle ... $24.95

So... since I want a career in fashion, I figured a book about it couldn't hurt. It has a list of schools to consider which is particularly helpful 

Forever 21 ... 

Because every fashion blogger needs a nice floppy hat.

Failed to be caught on film were a pair of black denim shorts (Forever 21 ... $19.80) and a pair of sunnies (H&M ... on sale for $3). I suppose you'll see them in an outfit post sooner or later. ;)

So that's that... I have lots of outfit posts to do, but I should probs get some sleep. I'm only going to get... 2 and a half hours of sleep. Brillz. 

Outfit of the Day

Went on a trip to the city last Wednesday to see How to Succeed, with the lovely Daniel Radcliffe. He was marvelous ! Some might think he's only as good as his Potter role, but he really truly is a versatile actor. Not once did I see him on stage as the Potter actor, I saw him for what he is: a good singer and excellent dancer - a true thespian. Along with Radcliffe, the show was quite good, and my friends and I got to do a little shopping before aand after; I'll definitely be doing a haul when I get the chance !

Peace and love,
