Mint and Salmon

Sorry out here to anyone who reads this blog! I haven't posted as regularly as I had intended to! My intentions haven't defeated the busy elements that dominate my life at the moment, thus I've been focusing on school and been putting my frivolous interests to the side! Nevertheless, today was a gorgeous day out and I did nothing more than try to match the happiness of the graceful weather! Graceful weather meaning it was 17 degrees out and sunny, in the middle of March! Not the usual end to a history of awful winter endings up here in Canadaland. Anyhow I got out my mint top with polkadots and my salmon skirt, and wore them with my floral blue heels! I didn't actually wear that little ribbon to school today but thats just a hint of frivolity for the purpose of the blog pictures. I was as happy as the grace of the sun ^_^. Don't know why but I'm diggin on minty and salmon colours together, even tho food-wise it wouldn't taste very good! Haha. Well that's all folks! I bid you all excellent endings to your winters, and may we all dig out our spring clothes in hopes of sunny new beginnings :)

Cheers! Ginela

Awesome shoes by the house mural!

Greetings everyone! I thought I'd show you a bit more of our humble townhouse today! So I decided to take some pics by our basement wall mural - a psychedelic tree that I painted with some of the Beatles' "Across the Universe" lyrics which are some of my favourite of all time. I've even got another tree mural in my room! Which, by the way is quite psychedelic. You can even see a video tour of my room that my boyfriend video shot and added to his awesome youtube channel. I shall post the link here. Trees are very precious to me, whenever I get the chance I paint them and draw them everywhere haha. They are the oldest survivors of this Earth and have seen its every change, and still are! Wouldn't mind being a tree in my next life ^_^.

A tour of Ginela's Room

If you've got a spare moment do stop by his channel, he's got plenty of great things to see on there such as his art debate videos, live painting videos, and even his astronomy work. There's also a few videos there of his last visit up here in Canada with me. Check him out! 

Outfit-wise I am proud to say I have got myself a brand new pair of Forever 21's polka dot mary jane heels! I had my eyes on these from forums and pictures online for about a whole year now, Forever 21 wasn't selling them anymore, but just recently they have come back on stock! With ought a thought I ordered them right away, haha, before they become out of stock again. I must say they are a bit unbearable to walk in because I took them to school today and had some trouble walking on concrete getting there, nevertheless, they are a fun look and I did indeed receive many compliments on them. Gotta have a little high heel risk sometimes! Also wore one of my favourite dresses with them today, its my black and white abstract print dress with a prairie collar. This dress and I have been great buddies for over a year now, a thrifted treasure I must say :). Alrighty here go the pictures, I bid everyone a tasteful week and many adventures!

Greetings to my new grannie oxfords!

Recall that previous post where I had said I had gone vintage thrifting last week? Well I took home a lot of lovely garments with me that day, including these awesome brown grannie oxfords shoes! Actually, I hopped into a time machine at the back of good will and went back to the 60's to get these, haha. I don't know why but I am so uber proud to have found them! Especially in my size! Which is a big fat crazy 9. I hope whoever wore them in the past enjoyed them and subconsciously passed them down in honour to me haha. Now they shall remain a priceless collectible in my closet and I shall adore them so! And also wear them every now and then. Without further ado here's the shoes and an outfit I wore to school the day I decided to give them a walk into my life :)

Happy thrifting anyone!

New finds, good willing indeed

Hey there! It was a bit of a short day at school today. As I was heading out to head back home I got this sudden impulse to stop by the Good Will thrift store and see what new garments had arrived, with a little time to spare and a little money left I figured, why not? So it went as it is whenever I go there. Turned out with me trying over 20 dresses, sunglasses, blazers, shoes, checking out the vinyl records section, and galloping all over the store like a little child in a candy shop. Hours later, lets just say about 3, I finally decided on which valuable garments to take home with me, which are by the way, quite a lot. I shall be posting a few of my finds here within the next few days! Among them are this white blouse and orange   skirt, which I thought ought to be married over my body, haha.
Anyhow, happy thrifting and living whatever hours you can enjoy surrounded by frivolous things!

Farewell till next time!

Wine & Vine Tights

Here lies what I wore today, for no particular reason :) haha. I decided to be a little funky and combine plain red tights with an overhang of a weaved pattern black tights. Together they remind me of the colour of deep red wine upon seeing them from afar. I just thought it was fun to couple the two and keep my legs warm. The rest of the outfit just makes me feel good and warm up here in Canadaland. 

Also I get to feature a hip peace symbol necklace! The awesome pendant was a gift from my boyfriend's brother Brandon. I finally found an outfit to wear it with. I read one time that peace symbols first started out in the 50's as a protest towards Nuclear Disarmament, in fact that's what the lines in the circle mean! Interesting eh? If you dig that fact perhaps you can do a little reading on it here?

Anyhow, tis all for today!
