Summer Lovin - exams or bikinis?

I am not surprised, not everything lasts...
I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track...
Talk myself in, I talk myself out...
I get all worked up, then I let myself down...
I tried so very hard not to lose it 
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility...
And I know some day that it will all turn out
You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out.
-- Michael Buble - Haven't Met You Yet


I just wrote two exams!!!  I think they went VERY well.  Sorry this post is so late!! I would do a better outfit post but I have to give a speech tomorrow at 9 a.m.  Boooo!  I am giving it on the late Alexander McQueen.  It is a commemorative speech.

My mind is on summer so much!! I have so many baithingsuits (err... 20?) but I am craving an army green one.  These are some beautiful styles from agent provocateur - they have some great edgy lingerie and swimwear.  I will also post some of my favourite McQueen suits!



The last one is my favourite!!!  Love polka dots.  Adore how Agent Provocateur pulls off naughty & nice.   Visit their website for more looks: http://www.agentprovocateur.com/  Now for a few looks from McQueen!

RIP Alexander McQueen


Okay so now I have a FEW beach looks, only because my ex was so camera happy on our cruise three years ago.  I've grown up a LOT since then!!!
These are not flattering pictures :) 
New beach looks soon!  Tell Canada to hurry up and get warmer.

Location:  Bahamas, St. Marteen
Jean skirt:  Costa Blanca
Flip flops:  Old Navy

This last picture is a modeling one!!  Taken in February of this year.

The top is from my beer wench costume which can be seen here:

I had to shoot body and face shots for a portfolio for promotions and this was a look I made with white lace booty shorts.

Ohh summer, come faster!

Outfit post - Last day of school

You used to light up the dark,
With your unrelenting spark,
It always put a fire in me...
-- Armin Van Buuren

WOOO HOOO!!!  Done school for the year as of TODAY!!!  I am sitting in my last class talking about  the point of learning about Subcultures in the Media (that's the name of the class).  Of course I'm most interested in the FASHION BLOGGING subculture so I'm putting my outfit up instead of paying attention!

I shot the first picture at school and the other ones before school.

Just a short post and PLEASE check out my earlier post - I made an award and gave it to 7 beautiful bloggers.  <3
Plant wall!  The thing recycles the air in the school.  It's really big this photo does not do it justice!!!  About 4 stories high.
Dress - Winners

Fashion Award - Gorgeous bloggers

 Hold onto this; to dream is a gift
To love is divine; and I won't bring you down
Hold onto to me; to dream is to be
To live is to shine

 -- Armin Van Buuren

60 followers!!!  Wow thanks so much guys :) :)  Sorry this award came late, I have 13 new followers since yesterday!!

After much consideration, I have decided to give my award to seven beautiul ladies (seven is my lucky number!) who each have written a variety of creative, inspirational posts.  This was a really hard decision because I read so many amazing blogs every day, so I was looking for blogs with lots of post updates, lots of great outfits, trends, and inspirational ideas.  Creativity and beautiful, unique style was also a requirement.  These ladies are gorgeous, talented, with a selection of inspiring posts and outfits displayed on their blogs.  They are also sweet and have stopped by my blog several times and commented, except for Chiara but with so many followers it must be tough and I hope she gets to see the award!

Here is the award!!!!!!!
 

And here are the beautiful ladies I am presenting it to:



Clockwise from top left:

1)  Lions, Tigers, and Fashion, Oh My!!
This girl is gorgeous and her style is fresh and unique!  Nobody in this blogging world can do DIY posts like she can, the stuff she makes is either completely unique or to copy an expensive runway look, and she often ends up pulling it off better.  The photo is of her spring Burberry look!  The shoes are from Target.  Wish I had access to her thrift store - she finds some of the most amazing items!  Beautiful beautiful blog!
Visit her blog Lions, Tigers, and Fashion, Oh My!

2)  Come Over To The Dark Side, We Have Candy!
This blog has constant posts and give-aways, the girl is gorgeous and she has great edgy, funky style.  Her outfit posts are stunning with unique, fun accessories!  Brownie points for such a creative name.  She has come up with so many unique trends!  Her blog was one of the first ones I found and a blog that inspired me to start my own!
Visit her blog Come Over To The Dark Side, We Have Candy

3)  This Chick's Got Style
All the way from Amsterdam, Yara gets to attend all sorts of exclusive events and blogs about them!  Her outfits are delicate and gorgeous, and the girl is stunning herself.  The title of the blog couldn't be more accurate.  I've been following her blog for a long time as well!
Visit her blog This Chick's Got Style

4)  Inspiration in Italy - The name of this blog caught my attention since I love all things Italian especially fashion.  The blogger is a beautiful girl named Rachel from California who blogs about her designs, outfits, as well as showcases beautiful photography from Italy.  This blog is stunning!  The clothing she makes is incredible.  A runway designer in the making!

5)  Lolita Says So - This blog is another creative blog with a variety of posts about fashion, and she updates constantly!  Great outfits and fashion photography.  Another gorgeous girl who works very hard on her blog and deserves recognition!

Purple, Leopard, and SHOES, OH MY!!!

It was a beautiful day today and since it is my only day off all week I had the opportunity to take photos down by the conservation park close to my house.  They were shot a little late in the day so the sun makes shadows but I got two great outfits shot, plus my shoes that I've had for a while and am in LOVE with <3
The title of my blog & this post are dedicated to one of favourite blogs.  Since I'm almost at 50 followers I thought I'd mention a blog that is inspirational to me, it's called Lions, Tigers, and Fashion, Oh my!  She does a lot of amazing DIY posts and her outfits are frequent and fabulous.  Check her out!  Now for the pictures,

Shoes:  H&M
Purse:  Guess
Dress:  Winners

I have another outfit shot too!!! Will post soon :)

Outfit - Denim delight

When a heart breaks, no it don't break even...
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah...
- Script, Break Even

Well the weather is getting better and I'm counting the days until bare legs.  I cut these shorts myself out of an old pair of Guess jeans that ripped.  Found this headband today for 6$ and thought it was cute.  Just a quick outfit post!  Last night at the club it was packed and I made awesome money.  I'm going to save for a couple weeks and if my car keeps holding out hopefully I can get some good shopping done.  I still have tons of outfits I hope to showcase but I need to get the good camera out, these are phone pictures!  Enjoy!  Sorry about the blurry quality.  I'm going to do an outdoors shoot tomorrow with a few different outfits to post and a WAY BETTER CAMERA!!!!
I'm buying a new car so that takes priority over the camera.  I have one to borrow for now and by my birthday (July 2nd -- )  I will be an experienced photographer/blogger with my own SLR!

In this last outfit picture I am just waking up!  No makeup and bedhead :)

New headband!!  I saw one I adore on the Queens Wardrobe website.  They have some great stuff!!!  This headband was only 6$, instead of the 35$ I was going to spend ordering one.  I am still lusting over their version of the Chanel two five-five.  It is much more affordable and I think it would look great with this outfit!

Top - Urban Behaviour
Jeans - Guess jeans - DIY into shorts
Tights - Forever 21
Sweater - Mango
Boots - United Colours of Benneton
Headband - Claire's

New Lust Item:


You can see more great items on their website:  Queens Wardrobe

My last item was a pair of H&M shoes, as seen on this post.  I got the shoessss a couple weeks ago after months of hunting.  I saw them on a display model on a poster and had to visit about 30 locations before I finally found them hiding on a shelf in downtown Toronto!  One size left that fit me... it was meant to be.  Look forward to seeing them in an outfit post coming soon!   They are gorgeous.


That's all for now!
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and that the weather is gorgeous wherever you live!

Outfit - Loving prints

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

This is a top I've had for a while and I got it pretty cheap so I don't mind wearing it to work.
Just a quickie outfit post, I took pictures while I was bored on Photobooth on my Mac.
Just a boring daytime shift!
