an adventitious kind of adventure.

Well here it is. Unfortunately, it didn't print like I thought it would. But I'm pleased with the layout.

oh heeeeyyy there bloooog. I kind of forgot this little piece of journalistic fun existed! I think I've been updating my music blog more than this one :| So if you like good tunes, check it out here. So what's new? Alot, I suppose. I realized that I really don't like the program I'm in, and I've decided to go back to school next year. I'm still going to finish out this year and graduate, but I'm just not happy with school at the moment. And I'm moving! In 4 weeks!! Everything is happening so fast... I went home for Thanksgiving this past weekend, and my home isn't even my home anymore. It was the last time I'll be in my hometown, at least for awhile. Weeeird..... other than all this chaos, I'm doing pretty well. I'm excited about moving to a new town & meeting new people! Alright, this post is a bore lol. Ciao kids.

Haha even though it was hostile, my last post was my 100th post. Whooooooo!
Hmm... even though so much has happened over the past few weeks, I honestly can't think of anything to say. I rearranged my room today? Now my bed is in the middle & my TV is directly across so it's like a little couch to play Mario Party & Super Smash Bros. on :) I'll probably be putting up some new tunage on my other blog, so be sure to check that out [here]. Sahrry for making this blog so laaame lately!

Dear Res Neighbour,

I appreciate that you have a love for popular music, and I share in this love, but could you perhaps refrain from blaring your music at midnight? You see, I happen to have co-op tomorrow and I only have to wake up in 5 hours, so I kinda of want to punch you in the face right now & destroy your music-playing device. That is all.

Sincerely,

R239

P.S. really? You're listening to Kelly Clarkson? REALLY!?

Only one more day until I'm reunited with my lovelies at school!!!!!


Let the party begin.

Okeedoke, so I've been slightly lacking on the blog posts recently. I've just been sooo caught up with moving back to school, and everything that goes along with it. Once school starts & I can get situated, I'll have more time to blog about... whatever! & a big hello to those new girlies that have just started following me :)

I think I've gotten to the point in my life where trying to fit in with "that" crowd, isn't really important. You know how there's always one group of people who are so close, and deem you as an outcast because you're a little unique...well why would I want to be friends with people like that anyway? I'm not very good at fitting into a box. I'm not very good at liking what everyone else likes; I like to keep things original. It gets me down sometimes when I realize how this "group" sees me, but I just have to remember a few things. I know who I am, and I like what I like. I can't be someone I'm not. I won't ever try to be like someone else just because they're a little more "normal" in other people's eyes. I'm just sick of being judged, and talked about, and giggled at. I wish people would just be accepting of other people's differences, instead of being scrutinizing. I wish I didn't care what they think.

I know I'm posting lots of fashion pics, but today I'm finding the best stuff. Check out these shoes! I looove architectural footwear. See more of these babies here.

and oh the detail! Also from Alexander McQueen.

Lovelovelove this little outfit from Alexander McQueen's 2010 Resort collection. Check out those shoes! Hot.

Love this little bracelet/ring/thing from All for the Mountain. Check out an article by CheekMagazine on these jewellery designs here.

P.S. the show @ Horseshow on Friday was bomb. You can download full albums from two of the bands that performed here.

I was in Urban Outfitters a few months ago, and saw this gorgeous pink ruffle purse and pretty much fell in love right in the middle of the store. However, at the time I had very little money being a college student, and couldn't afford the $68 price tag. One day I was just "window shopping" online, looking at some sale stuff from Spring Shoes. Low and behold, I fell in love again! This time I wanted to MARRY the purse, for it's $20 price tag! Check out this dupe for my beloved UO bag:

The original UO bag I fell in ♥ with

The same bag in black

A similar dupe from Spring can be found here. I couldn't upload a pic of the dupe, but you'll see what I mean. Ruffly goodness everywhere! Can't wait to snatch this puppy up until I can afford the real thing! If you know of any other dupes for beauty, fashion, you name it, comment below!

-sigh- I know I'm slightly lacking on the posting lately, but I just haven't really been in the mood. Style.com caught my attention however, when they did a little slideshow on new hi-definition makeup, along with the history of how that makeup got to be where it is today. I thought it was interesting, so if you do too you can check it out here.

Check out this cute Arkells shirt I picked up from the show on Friday for $10!



I love the little vintage-esque sweater the musician is wearing. Lovelove!

Also, I finally put up the vids I took on YouTube, and you can check 'em out here.

So Tokyo Police Club are playing a show with Ruby Coast on August 15th in Newmarket, about 20 minutes away from me. These kids hail from Newmarket, and I'm sad to say that I only recently clued into this fact. Even still, that's flippin' awesome. What's even more awesome, is that because my friend's cousin plays in Ruby Coast, we get to attend the after party! Holla, living the rockstar life, right here. No I kid, I kid but it should be a rocking good time and you know I'll be snapping pics n taking vids, so stay tuned!And if you're in the area, or would like to come down for the show, just message me for deets! Cheers!

...I want this guy!


I actually have no idea how old he is, but I do know his name is Frank Dillane and he played Tom Riddle (aka young Voldemort)
in Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince. Doesn't he just look so cute in the above picture? Not to mention, the kid's got some serious style. I saw the movie on Thursday, and the effects were awesome as usual, but I'm always disappointed with the movies themselves. If you didn't read the book, there would be a lot of parts where you'd be scratching your head and wondering what the H-E-L-L just happened. But this guy's a little cutie, and even though I don't know his age, I'm crushin'!

So the show last night was pretty much just super great. All three bands were very chill, and they all sounded soso good. I was especially surprised by Ruby Coast (my friend's cousin's band), because they've only been together a few years and they came out on stage and worked it like they had been around forever. And said friend's cousin's name is Justice which is equally, if not more cool than the fact that they played awesomely. Lordy am I ever tired...I have to head to work in a few hours, but I may get around to posting shtuff up afterwards if I'm not dead by then.

Ohoh and I got the cutest shirt @ the merch table last night, must show you guys that too 'cause it was ♥ at first sight. Alright I'm out!

Off to see The Arkells for a second time tonight! They're playing a free show at the Sound Academy, along with a couple other bands I don't know too much about yet. You can download their debut album from my other blog here. Will post pics and vids soon! Cheers :)
