A Few of my Favourite Things:

These are coin earrings that have been hand cut! They are currently out of my price range, but they are so beautiful. ! I can think of so many outfits to pair them with,


Julie Ann Art makes hilarious wedding related cards. Who needs traditional fancy invitations when you can have this card?

Tea Time: Honey & Tea

*** There are going to be some changes to this blog, I want to have better and more personal content! The first new weekly post will be Tea Time! Where I will be showcasing local tea businesses and tea accessories. Because tea is awesome. That is all. *****

                             

Honey & Tea is a local business that sells ... honey and tea. Mostly tea. They even sell cast iron tea pots and glass teacups! They sell teas to make you relax, to energize or soothe! I am definitly going to get me some relax tea! They also have organic and traditional tea. Honey & Tea is located in Oshawa, Ontario and give opportunity for the homeless and at risk youth. So you can buy tea and feel good about not only investing in local businesses but also because of how you are helping the community!

All Photo's are courtesy of Honey & Tea.

I was in no way paid for this post - but that would be nice! - I just really like this tea. And it's local!

Cheers!

2014: A year in selfies.

Now, I am in no way a big selfie person. In fact, I need to take more (and better) photos of myself. Here are my favourite - and almost all - my 2014 selfies! 

Let's go Blue Jays!!

For my graduation present I bought myself a diamond septum ring,! So in love with it!

I really wanted to wear my mermaid costume for halloween but I figured the pub is no place for a delicate sequin and tulle skirt.

Favourite shorts ever! It's so weird seeing my legs without the new tattoos.

This is indeed a pink cheetah onsies with ears on the hood. So comfy! I wear it about 8 times a week,.

My Black Milk skater skirt and top are soo comfy and amazing! Yes, it's brains. I can't wait to find the perfect reason to wear it! Probably not until next halloween but it will be amazing.

Show me your favourite selfie!

DIY Roundup

I know I've been lacking in the DIY posts, I can only blame pure laziness. That and the fact that finding good tutorials has been hard lately! Nobody seems to be doing many unique things. Anyways, these are what I have come up with ! I LOVE the marbles mug and amethyst mirror. I think I need both of them in my life ASAP.



Make this beautiful amethyst mirror!




Want to sprucen up you're kitche? Try these etched wooden spoons! So lovely.



this marbled mug diy is so good! The mugs look fancy, beautiful and are easy to make!



I was to make this garland for my house! I'm pretty bad for not decorating for any holiday.


What DIY's have you been doing?


Cheers!

Things I like: Ballin' Style

There are some things that people often know about me, such as having a ballin' sense of style (at least I think I do). I really like statement peices, such as this cat skirt or whale top or velvet leggings with a kick ass design. If I could wear all of these pieces at the same time without looking mental, I totally would. (Although I DO think that the skirt and top would look hella cute together).

PSST. I generally rock red nails, but I'm really digging these metallic ones!

Books I'm Reading (Or Plan to Read)

So, I'm not going to lie. I just spent the last few months reading the entire series of True Blood. And I loved it! Now I want to dive into reading new books. These are the ones I have set aside to read, if I remember, I'll do a review!



So, this book was suggested by a friend. Despite it's cheerful cover, apparently it isn't so sweet! It's based in Manhattan's dark underbelly, with a surreal and shocking world has alter egos and is basically a tragic romantic comedy. Sounds like my cup of tea!




Chuck Palahnuik is one of my favourite authors! I first read Survive and it was one of the best books I've read. I'm sure this one will be too! It's based on the life of Busy Casey, one of the worlds most famous serial killers.



I'm not too sure what this book is about. The only reason I want to read it is because the trailer for the movie looks really good! It was one of Angelina Jolies indie movies she did in the 90's. (Like Hacker, I LOVE that movie!)


I am not myself these days: A Memoir , by Josh Kilmer-Purcell.
Rant: The Oral Biography of Busty Casey, by Chucl Palahniuk
Girl, Interrupted. by Susanna Kaysen,


What books are you Reading?

DIY Roundup: heels

I was never a heel girl, I wore Doc Martens to all weddings and dates until my graduation prom where I bought my first pair and immediately regretted not have buying them soon. Now I try to make up excuses just to wear them,

Like most girls, I have a lot of simple heels. After doing a little digging I found some AMAZING upgrades that I will be doing to all my schools. These are even good for boots!


THIS tutorial is so easy! Plus it's really cheap to do. I have a lot of simple heels that could use a little pop like this.



This diy takes a simply pair of heels and turns them into a stylish punk pair! I love them.



 this DIY is the most crazy one! They're like chandelier heels! I'm not sure If I hate them or love them.



I'm not a big bling sort of gal, but This diy is so lovely, it adds enough stones to make a statement, without being overwhelming!


Are you going to be upgrading your heel collection? I will be!

Things I like: Tacky Aldo Purses

I have a bag problem, I LOVE bags. What I love even more than regular purses is tacky, statement purses. Recently, Aldos came out with a line of statement purses. I love all of them! What's even better is that they are ALL ON SALE! Seriously, I'm pretty sure all of them are now $20-30 . Seriously. I think I might have to buy them all.
This one is was the first one to catch my eye! I can't think of an occasion when I could wear it, but I still want it!

I couldn't see myself wearing this one, but I still think its pretty awesome!
I've been seeing perfume purses around lately, but this one is actually affordable, and by affordable I mean I could buy one with my lunch money.

 

This  candy heart purse is so cute! It comes in pastel yellow and pink as well!!


Which one is your favourite? I think I might get the first one!

Rowan

***Disclaimer! I was not paid for this ad, I wrote them post simply because I friggen love these purses. They just happen to be all from Aldo. ****
