Yes it's necessary to stay fly like canaries

Alrightie I'm gonna honestly do my best to keep up with this blog. As mentioned before I feel a tad narcissistic constantly taking photos of my outfits, but I'd like to see how it develops and changes throughout the year. There's no such thing as a static staple style; if you think about it something in your wardrobe will eventually change- be it a colour, silhouette, texture etc.

So here's to the new year and towards more consistency for whoever actually follows this "look at my style" blog of mine.

And voila today's outfit via iPhone.

Simple, comfy, chill = great for a jam packed day of two 3 hour classes, and a longer than usual commute downtown (skytrain stopped running and I, alongside various strangers, was stuck in it for 20 minutes while they tried fixing the door. Oh geez) to go visit a new friend. 

I need to write more that was a huge run on..*.face palm*

wearing: forest green knitted headband (does a good job at keeping my ears warm) -f21, knit sweater-joe (yes from the superstore), half faux leather leggings- thrifted (another score),  army jacket- aritzia, military stomping boots- gift from my man, faux-fur bag- Aldo

Night Wanderer

after a long day of moving stuff around (was my day off but it felt like i was working, i'll post it in my other blog when i have the energy to) i strolled in a park for bit then got attacked by a wack load of mosquitos. thanks to that unpleasant surprise the fello and i decided to go in the car away from the blood sucking critters and watch a movie on the laptop till my bestest friend nicole was ready for our little sleepover. wow what a run on sentence...good thing i'm starting school again this fall. anywho once nicky arrived at my place we were  completely starving so we decided to walk to one of the many fast food restaurants in our town. i brought alex along cause she was famished as well, it was a fun and random stroll of taking various silly pictures, running across streets and frolicking. the walk back was equally energy packed. now im home and ready to hit bed, nicky and i need to wake up quite early for our school orientation tomorrow. first day on campus- woooh hoo :)

wearing: cream cardigan- aeropostale, eyelit vintage boho tank- thrifted, lace cami underneath- aeropostale, teal roxy jeans- off the wall, beaded sandals- costa rica, vintage nine west bag- thrifted

don't worry i wasn't tresspassing, it was my apartment, right outside my ma's room- i'm not that much of a rebel. or a rebel at all really.

goodnight(or good morning to those of you on the flip side of canada)  hope you guys are ending these last days of summer with a great big bang. i'm so ready to embrace fall at's autumn leaves now.

oh hey there september

here's a goal for this month and new season: try to take photos of outfits i actually like that are stylish rather than my ordinary work clothing. this might be hard since i now have two jobs and will be attending school starting next week. so if i vanish for several weeks, i'm still alive...just busy. but i shall try my very very bestest to capture the looks i love that you might enjoy rather than the "eh' ones i just have to take a shot of.

and here's a post of an outfit i wore to my first night clubbing. the club was alright, but i liked my outfit hah. sorry i didn't capture the bottom half i couldn't find a spot to set the camera that wouldn't make it look awkward

wearing: borrowed sheer & studded top from my sister - forever21, grey skinnies i can't stop wearing- aeropostale (amazingly!), braided bracelts that won't leave my wrists till they fall - bought in costa rica, from guatamala, alligator ring- aldo, fav nail polish- under a dollar in costa rica :) 

so just a reminder this is not a promise that i'll take photos of nice outfits all the time, just a promise that'll i'll do my best at trying to :) 

hah like my cheesy grin, don't know what i was doing but i find it amusing haha

you make my heart pound

wearing: floral bandeau & army green tank/vest- garage, gold leave/multi chain necklace- aldo? (it was a gift from my bff), dark wash skinnies- h&m, black sandals- wet seal

so these are the only nice shoes i can wear at the moment due to the unwanted blisters i have on my feet- now i know why i stopped wearing flats. so the story goes like this: i went to the shoe warehouse about a year ago and found this beautiful pair of michael kors red flats for a ridiculous amount i couldn't say no. i wore them a couple times and they made my feet bleed once...then get blisters the next so i left them in my closet. i'd glance at them every day trying to find something to wear them with then i never could for some reason. anywho... i decided to wear them a couple days ago and couldn't walk after a while cause they killed so much. why must they be so painful? BUT wait! my manager gave me the greatest idea to put this material that's like a felt/soft fabric so they'd be comfortable and wouldn't give me disgusting blisters. so i shall try that out, and maybe you'll see them in my posts more? 

Also, today a very lovely and close friend of mine left to Bradford, England where she will be living for 2 years. it was a very bittersweet moment at the airport, but i can not wait to hear all her stories. i shall write about this all in my other blog though- since i have quite a lot to say :) 

I MISS YOU MAMA TISH & LOVE YOU MAD DEEP DARK OCEAN ABYSS ♥

oh oh i want some more, oh oh what are you waitin' for?

comfy gear for an early morning of heading to the bank & browsing (which turned into shopping....)

wearing: zipper pocket tee- garage, army green linen shorts- aero, sandals-costa rica, aviators- kiosk in the mall.

NEW ADDITIONS TO THE FAMILY:

black tee with cut off & tied back and blue (somewhat of an acid was feel) - coastal ridders

crocodile ring- aldo

oh and yesterday i got myself these colours to add to my nail polish collection (i've become somewhat of an addict). they were only 2 bucks each! 

clockwise from R: it's not as pink in the photo more of a pinkish/brown, gold and sparkly (looks good alone or over top of the pinkish/brown one), below is one i wish showed up like it does in the bottle but it decieved me and is just clear BUT it looks good over top of a purple/black (my sis tested it out for me). and last is this dark brown that almost looks black and i'm in love with it. it's on my fingers at the moment :)

just another ordinary day

favourite sneakers. white leather keds- value village baaaby :)

secret, magic erasers are indeed magical! they cleaned the blue dye from my super dark wash skinnies right off of my precious white sneakers. so any white leather stained by dye, rub a little bit of magic eraser and your good to go people.

i swear i do own coloured clothing, my closet doesn't just consist of greys, whites, and blacks. for serious! next time i wear something colourful and printed i'll be sure to snap a shot. and that is a promise friends :)

just plain old clothing for another ordinary work day at aero...

wearing: grey t-aeropostale, same ae black skinnies ( i also own a whole wack load of jeans beside these bad boys), flower belt- ae, rings, braclet, bag- costa rica

football fanatic?

had a busy busy day today, and it went by speedyly. applied to micky d's and got an interview straight up- yes i have resulted to applying to mcdonalds...whatever it'll give me hours and that means mo'cash. went to the bank to deposit a large check only to transfer it to my mothers account (it'll be paying for uni next year since this year i'll be paying for it -it'll be a cheaper school so better deal for me i guess). then i headed to work which went by uber fast. came home to watch the match between Germany and Argentina (my alarm didn't go off this morning). i didn't think i'd get into it since i had already known the score, but i suppose i did (hence the zoned out/blank expressions in the above photo). i was all for both teams but i knew the Germans would dominate, i just get these hunches you know. so that explains the lack of effort in this post. i simply came home threw on my fave sweater and some slippers and stared at the tv for a very long time hah. can't wait till Wednesday, might go downtown to watch Germany vs Espana . it's gonna be hella good. i'm roooting for spain! though im a bit scared the germans might win...even though i am cheering for them too. i think my latin blood just wants a latin team to win. after all it is our sport :)

wearing: white tank-aero, D.I.Y. tie-dye bandeau- (bought it plain white at aero), the same black ae skinnies i just happen to wear whenever i post, fossil suade belt- thrifted, fav/comfy grampa sweater- thrifted, feather earings- costa rica

Viva Espana!
(ps. that's germany in this shot not spain)

working for that cash

so today i was gonna hand out resumes for jobs, cause i need a second one so badly- gotta pay for rent, my phone, and soon uni. i actually can't recall the last time i went out shopping, like actually said 'hey i got some extra cash i shall treat myself." it's been far too long. anyways, this was the get up i decided was good enough to apply for jobs, only thing is i didn't have time to since i got called in to work today- oh well i need the extra dough :)

wearing: linen blazer- charlotte russe, striped top- h&m, ultra skinny levis- thrifted (d.i.y)

 accessories: stud-like necklace- forever 21, purple stone- costa rica, silver jesus fish ring- kiosk in the mall, black chunky ring- gift from aunt in costa rica, multi rings-h&m, black "o" rings- camp

Afro-dite

After a long day (was up at 6am-rare for me since i haven't been in school for a year) i came home from a very amusing day and changed into the comfy-ist gear i own. The afro-ish bun is due to the photoshoot i had done early that day for a friend, never have i seen so much volume in my hair, no extensions added whatsover that is all mine. i've always wanted to rock out a fro and my dream came true yesterday :) now i have to go see if i can wash this out, although part of me doesn't want to. Oh and i believe i will receive the photos from the shoot in a couple of weeks, the outfits aren't spectacular as i was a hair model- if only i brought camera to take shots of the other work being done. it was ridiculous, i felt as if i were backstage getting ready for a runway. there were giant platinum blond lips placed on top of heads, along with yellow/white bouquets of hair, a haunted tree, and some crazy bun bigger than the models head with extensions about as long as her own hair draping down with braids falling atop her head- it was amazing. 

& the tired expression is due to the long day, so simply ignore it.

wearing: grey mens sweater-thrifted, faux leather/shinny legings- off the wall, nude boot sandals- costa rica, black studded leather bag-aldo, scarf- h&m

micky mouse club

so i edited this photo a little different then normal, not to sure if i like it or not hah. but this was my outfit on friday, im a tad delayed when it comes to posting up the photos. still trying to get the hang of it all. but i'm trying alright :)

wearing: oversized somewhat of a crop top (it's an XL)-forever21, sequined vest-le chateau, black skinnies that i wear far too much- ae, mickey mouse sneakers that don't fit (i don't think i'll borrow them again)- sisters, we found them at a consignment/thrift shop, thread bracelts-bought in costa rica, but they're from guatamala

this is my younger sister, alexandra (or alex), she enjoys wearing my clothing (like the black jumper she has on in the photo) along with taking sibling photos and doing hair-she's good at it.

i somehow managed to be on the floor while taking photos...i don't recall how- im wearing sneakers for goodneess sake and was standing in one spot...
