City and Colour and New Yummy Purchases

Yesterday I made a few purchases while I was out with my boyfriend. My first find were these amazing jeans that I found at a vintage/ consignment shop that I frequently visit. They’re extremely comfortable, and the denim is super soft. I like the light wash a lot. There are some cool details as well. :3

I love the little leather heart on the right pocket. So cute.

There are really cool zippers on the back of the legs too.

The button on the front is really interesting as well. It looks like a dial on an electric guitar.

Back pockets:

We also went to a candy store called “Freak Lunch Box”. They have a huge selection of candy and confectionery, as well as clever novelty items. There is another candy store in the area called “The Candy Bouquet”, which is also quite good. But Freak Lunch box has a lot more variety, and you can also buy most of the candy in bulk. I bought $15.65 Worth of candy.

Pocky, a Cadbury “flake” bar, A Sugar Daddy, Strawberry Milkshake whoppers and a TON of chocolate covered almonds.

No regrets though. I love my sweets.

As you probably already know, I went to see City and Colour last night as well. My boyfriend was kind enough to also buy me a t-shirt from the merch table.

This was the one I chose:

 

Nick bought a limited edition shirt and a Little Hell record as well. I think he’ll be getting a record player for his birthday next month. This may be the start of a vast collection of vinyl. 

Concert and Other News

Hello! I haven't posted on here in a a looong time! I've been in a bit of a rut lately. Also, I post more frequently on my tumblr. So if you're not already following me there, please check out my tumblog!

I'll be seeing City and Colour with my boyfriend tonight. I'm so excited!! Ah~~!
I'm a huge fan of Dallas Green. I'll probably be bawling the whole time. I've always felt connected to his music. Maybe it'd how he writes his lyrics, or perhaps it's because I started listening to him when I was going through a tough time in my life. I'm not sure.

Nick and I are going to chill out down town before the show, maybe visit some local shops and have dinner. :)
I'm stoked. Even though our seats are kind of far back, I don't mind. If I can hear his voice, I'll be completely happy.

I haven't been on here in a while!

Hello everyone! How are you all? :)
Sorry I haven't been posting in a while. It seems as if I've been in a rut these days. I've been procrastinating with my school work (as usual).
Christmas is so close! I have to start my shopping if I want to get it done in time. Christmas shopping is my favorite things about the holidays! I love the feeling of finding a gift that I know someone will like!
I feel like baking a lot around this time of year too. I might bake a cake with my boyfriend soon!
Nick and I cook a lot together. We both really enjoy it :)

I Went On a Date With My Boyfriend

and picked up some very cute things! I found a lovely tea pot on sale for 75% off. I only paid $7.00 for it!!
I also found some cute hair accessories and a pair of floral-lace tights! It's pretty hard for me to find hair accessories that suit me because I have such short hair. But, I managed to find these two rosette clips for about $9.00.

this is what they look like in my hair:

I think They'll look pretty cute in a classic co-ord. Maybe with a bigger bow with some pearls. :)

The tea pot I bought has a really "rustic" feel to it, which I like. It's pretty big too! I suspect that it can make about 6 cups of tea.

The weekend is so close!

I've been feeling a bit lazy lately. I just want to sit around all day and draw. I haven't done a serious piece of art work in such a long time. It feels as if I've been in this "haze" that I can't seem to escape from.
I have all these ideas swirling around in my brain but the second I go to put in on paper, it slips away. It's really frustrating.
on another note, I'm thinking about making a lolita wishlist, so I can keep track of the things I need and get an idea on how much I'll have to save. That way I can put aside money for tuition fees for school and paying off my student loan.

I created a livejournal account as well. I'd like to get involved with EGL and Daily Lolita but I'm a bit nervous. I've seen some nasty things up on loli-secret. I realize that not all lolitas are like that, and it more depends on the individual person. I really hope they welcome me when I decide to post something.

Here is my livejournal URL if you're interested:

Ramblings

I can't begin to explain how badly I want this dress. Mary Magdalene never ceases to impress me. It costs a fortune though. 26, 800 yen? That's  $348.40 Canadian. way out of my price range. It IS gorgeous though isn't it?

I really love Victorian Maiden and Innocent world as well. My first purchase will most likely be from Qutieland. They sell lolita brand clothing from china, and are significantly cheaper than Japanese brands (which is perfectly fine with me. The review I've read are good and they sell quality clothing).

Im thinking one of these dresses may be my first purchase:

I also really like this skirt:

It has more of a Gothic feel than what I usually go for, but I love the buttons and the ultra-high waist. I can pair it with more things too, since it's black. I'm sure I can make it look more classic if I co-ordinate it right!

I'll probably end up buying a petticoat from there as well. I own two (well, three if you include the petticoat dress I bought for my Halloween costume It's made of a stiff fabric and is pretty poofy, but It was cheap, which most likely means it will deflate.) 

. Two of them are from American Apparel. The AA petti's don't give me as much volume as I would like. I own the reversible petticoat and the slip petti. They're a soft fabric and are high quality. They give me enough poof for a more casual look, which is okay with me, but I'd like to own at least one petti that I can wear with more ornate JSK's and OP's.

It's pretty hard being a lolita when you live in a place that doesn't sell lolita clothing. Especially if you have no means of buying online. I'll probably end up getting a prepaid visa to get a couple of things. That way I can save the rest of my money up for more important things.
