Dear summer, won't ya stay a little longer?

I had nothing to say for the time I took this post, so I had left it blank. I just appreciated what I wore that day and that was that haha.

Ever feel that way? :P

Red Prairie Dress

Took out this little beauty today to wear because the day was dandy and sweet and I wanted to be all cheerful in red. Also got on my little ring -yang sphere necklace which actually makes a jingling sound! Hahah its quite magical. Not diggin' my bangs too much today, they have been persistently getting into my eyes! I can't wait till they grow back out, they have been fun, but I think they are in their annoying teen years now ahaha. I shouldn't talk, because I am still a teen. 

I am longing to take a long walk in the forest and sit on tree stomps and sing to the birds and squirrels in this dress, but I can't because I am busy completing projects and studying for a whole 2 weeks of exams coming up. Goodness gracious! I am scared, but I'm charging my brains with info and preparing to do my best on these! After that I am off to Ohio to see my boyfriend for a few days of vacation :)

I can't wait to see him, once this whole storm is over I get to go on magical forest walks with him and kiss and hold hands and all that fun stuff ^_^. Ohio woods are even more cool because they have little deers running around. Yaaay ^_^. Summer please grant me a safe and lovely trip! And grant all my wonderful readers a gorgeous week aswell :)

Peace and love!

An older outfit brought back to life, with bangs.

I picked this outfit out for school today feeling the need to cover my legs from the slight cold breezes of a rainy summer day. And later coming home from school I was scrambling through pictures and found an earlier photo shoot I had done of this very outfit since May! I had meant to post it but never did, so today I shall put it up! The only new addition to the outfit is that my hair has now front bangs, and believe it or not, I think gives a different quality to the whole ensemble. I kinda miss my rockstar no-bangs hair before, I could easily run my hands through my hair and push it back and do hair flips without having to worry about these funny little bangs standing on end and flopping around on my head haha. They are soon due to fade in length with the rest of my hair, I am growing them out. For now I will still enjoy them while I have them, they add to some outfits what they don't add to others. How do you feel about hair bangs and certain outfits? Let me know in a comment!

Summer calls for lazy clothing arrangements sometimes!

Greetings everyone! Yesterday was a gorgeous day! I didn't greet it with a sweetly planned outfit however, I wasn't in the mood to give the frivolous world of fashion a shout, so I just got into my semi-cropped black T, jean skirt, and Docs and went out for a walk in the noon with my mother and grandma who happened to be over. We went out back to the woods in search of wild raspberries, but sadly we found them mostly gone, hopefully in all the animals' bellies now. I just wanted to share a more lazy outfit with you guys. I wish I had myself a good camera to shoot, I can't believe I let my point and shoot fall down the stairs XD. Oh oh. I am tempted to break out my film camera and take shots with it, but I would need much assistance with it as well as purchasing prints and scanning them all the time, which I just don't have the money for yet. But worry not folks! I am on the search for a camera solution! For now my crappy laptop cam will do its humble job, and the epic outfits shall wait in my closet to be exhibited in the great delight of a more capable lens. Till then, this is all I got.

Cheers, love and peace and good luck to you all! I do hope you are enjoying your summers in grace and cheers and don't have to be in school like me! 

Happiness to you all :)

This whole outfit was thrifted.

- except the boots, they are my one and only Doc Martins purchase

Gig Weekend

I am a struggling musician/singer. But boy is it fun to be a struggling musician/ singer :)

Hahah. This weekend I performed at the Monarch Tavern downtown toronto with the hispanic Uruguayan style band I am in called Magia Negra, and I also sang as a guest artist in my friend's band named Eon. Here are a few of the pictures! I am so lucky to know and perform alongside some incredible musicians. I am in so many music projects right now it might drive me crazy, but looks like that's the way it will be for a while. I am really happy to exist and to get to execute art very often :)

I was wearing a black mini dress and red heels from this post here.

I have a lot of music of my own that I need to start recording and putting out on the inter webs. I wonder when time will grant me a few hours to get it all done. But do stay tuned for that! 

Without further ado here's some of the pictures!

White Lace, you are my darling friend

Greetings there! I have done something really buthead -ish. A few days ago I let my tiny point and shoot camera drop down a few flights of stairs. The lens are completely messed up, I stole their ability to do anything. Poor little thing. How could I be so clumsy? Always been though, haha. Anyways, it happens. I've tried many many times to fix it, but I regret to say, its little lens life has ended.

Nevertheless, one has to make do with what one has! So I have turned to my trusty macbook and it will be taking my pictures for the next few months in till I can get another camera. Who knows when that will be, kind of a broke-ass musician right here :P. But until that glorious day until I can have some form of fair enough quality pictures, I will have to do with this webcam. Sorry if its painful for you guys :(

How's your life been by the way? Mine's been pretty opportune, disappointing and beautiful all at once, just how life likes to be. My most recent endeavour is I've entered a small Idol contest at our local Boston Pizza, which I will performing at every Tuesday for the summer, (that's if I make it to the very end without elimination). The grand prize is a total of 5000$ which is a fine number if I say so myself, as well as some recording time at my college/studio - Metalworks Institute. I have been lucky to have made it to the top 30 contestants, and as of tomorrow they will have eliminated 10 more. I would really like to win this. I sang "Try" by Janis Joplin for my audition, and the whole restaurant crowd really enjoyed themselves. Gotta love that Janis Joplin, man I loveeee that woman. She gave it all to music lovin' and just lovin' in general :) haha. 

I will be striking them with some excellent older Classic Rock and Blues and Motown songs soon. So what do you think? Perhaps you can shoot a little luck my way? Here's the event Facebook page below:

The song I sang

Other than that, the summer is passing me by. Wonderful flowers blooming everywhere, flirting with wasps, and I'm stuck in school flirting with 70% useful information haha. Yup, that's right folks, I'm enrolled in a year-round collage program that lends me no summer break at all. Darn musician knowledge thirst!

Today I wore my handy dandy white lace dress I purchased some time ago. I also have that peculiar little marble necklace with the ying-yangs. I'ts got a tiny cow bell inside and jingles everywhere haha.
