I hardly ever do these things but when Anna from Much Love tagged me to find 7 green things in my room, I just had to. I think it was that element of a treasure hunt that appealed to me the most. So here are my 7 green things: Chasing Harry Winston with the green shoe on the cover, green Crayola, green cocktail ring that I wore to my formal, green ring that my friend brought back for me from France, green owl plush toy/keyring, ‘Oasis green’ nail polish from Sportsgirl (the OCD side of me hates that it’s not the same kind of green as everything else), and a green subsription card from Russh magazine.

what are my absolute essentials? hmmm that would be black ankle boots and blazers.

well, this whole new lifestyle i have adopted – saving for great “investment” pieces over buying hoards of inexpensive things – has allowed me to purchase these two bad boys.

of course i slip and still cannot pass on a good deal at work or at forever 21 (and shhhh…i bought the blazer and boots with % off discounts/gift cards), but i couldn’t be happier that these on their way to my home.

p.s. liz, you are killing it as a nasty gal model.

Aleks & The Ramps – Antique Limb

I always get the intro/guitar part stuck in my head. If I were to actually document my summer adventures in a film (pretty boring film, I’d say), and create a soundtrack to it, I definitely think that instrumental would be in the opening sequence. The film clip is a bit of a trip to watch, too.

Wore this today. The only new-ish thing is this vest. It’s vintage and I kind of want to wear it with everything. I went to the markets (didn’t buy much- only pain au chocalat, yumm), had sushi for lunch, and then saw New Moon (finally). My verdict: the movie was a whole lot of awkward. It was as if it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a comedy, love story, or action movie and the attempt at combining all of those elements was just… awkward. Plus the acting was just… awkward. Yes, awkward is my word of the day. But that’s just my 2 cents. The main point of this whole story is that I saw it in Imax. Taylor Lautner’s abs. In Imax. Enough said. (Eww I feel gross just for writing that. He’s a child!)

Anyway, I should start getting ready for tonight. I’m going to a costume party. We’re meant to come as our favourite building/monument. Me and my friends are going as the Great Pyramids of Giza. Mainly because it was practical. I wanted to go as gingerbread house. But the logistics of that plan made it too difficult. Firstly, those gingerbread houses are expensive and secondly, how on earth am I supposed to wear that?

Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!
