Happy Birthday to Moi

Except my birthday was last Monday.

I'm 18! I can legally buy and drink alcohol in Quebec, and buy lotto tickets and porn everywhere else.

In clothes news, I bought a purple satin dress with black butterfly embroidery-which sounds weird, but looks cool- at the new March of Dimes store downtown, except it's relatively loosely based with the March of Dimes. It's called Era: Modern Vintage Store, and about a quarter of the store is vintage, and the rest is expensive local designer stuff. I bought a t-shirt last summer there (which I'm also currently wearing) that was thirty dollars, the most expensive article of clothing I've ever saved up for and bought, and a size too big. The old March of Dimes store was called The Mod Shop where I found some good finds like a purple corduroy skirt ($5), a polka dot dress($10), and a cool checked scarf($1). Not to mention, among the older women who worked there, there was a young, cute guy who would make amusing comments about the stuff you were buying (Pooolka dots). Alie and I affectionately dubbed him Eric, because he seemed like an Eric. The new March of Dimes place just has a guy with a weird 'fro, and emo glasses who is very patronizing. (Yes, I understand the concept of putting my just purchased clothes into a bag for me, you don't have to explain to me that that's what you're going to do.)

Not that I'm dissing 'fros and emo glasses. Emo glasses are the only emo thing I like, they just did not suit him.

I have more to talk about, but I also have slightly more important work to do, and I need a break after that rant.

Ah toodle-oo

Frankly, today should be a Friday, it was that good.

I think the only reason I like this shirt is that it has Antoinette in the name.

Well it's a pretty shirt, it would just look like crap on me. *sadface*
I would suggest not pairing it with those bright blue pants though, because the colours in the shirt don't match at all.

I really liked this shirt up until I saw the ribbing/ruching in the middleOtherwise, it's very lovely, very spring.

*has heartattack*

To me it's uber-Virgin Suicides, except not really, but I can imagine pairing this with jeans and flip-flops and hitting downtown or the beach.

As you can see, Urban Outfitters updated their website and I just discovered that.

Rain rain go away...

Come again when I have a bubble umbrella.

In other news, my shopping trip at Le Chateau yesterday was a relative success. Came out with a green peacoat, a sweater-vest (wooo!) and what I can only describe as being a faux leather, cream, motorcycle jacket. Believe me it's a cool jacket, it's just...well... the story goes, that my unofficial boyfriend recently bought a motorcycle. He doesn't have his license to actually ride it yet, so he's relatively inexperienced with operating them. Therefore, I am never riding on it with him, because again he's inexperienced and I know for a fact my mom won't want me riding on it, because she had a boyfriend, who was a very experienced motorcyclist I might add, who died in a motorcycle accident.

Anyway, my mom really likes leather, and she immediately fell in love with those jackets. I immediately told her how the unofficial boyfriend has a motorcycle, and how I shouldn't get the jacket to give him the idea that I will ride his motorcycle.

We walked away, looked at some other clothes and then came back to the leather jackets. My mom forced me to try it on, and it looked good, really good. The price tag said 40 dollars, and my mom decided she was going to buy it for me anyway. I'm not sure where I'll be able to wear it though, but it sure looks good.

Pictures later.

Rock On Mod Cloth

For Easter, ma mére bought me a gift certificate for Le Chateau and tomorrow we're going there to pick out some spring clothes. This is great because a) my mom and I hardly ever go on shopping trips where it's just her and I (thanks to my plethora of little siblings-two younger sisters and a younger brother thankyouverymuch) and b) I go through periods where my wardrobe just makes me want to vomit out of boredom, which happened last night and I blame it on the multitude of t-shirts and my girly mindset at the moment.

Wooo it's Friday, and I have plenty of time to procrastinate studying for my World History test that is Monday. So, while listening to old CBC 3 podcasts, I have been perusing around Mod Cloth.

Favourite pieces?
I'm afraid the awfulness of my seminar on Nietzsche will cause me to cringe in embarrassment whenever his name is mentioned (which is a shame, because I absolutely love Little Miss Sunshine, but I'm learning to let things go), yet I still think this tote is uber-cool.
Stereo pencil case. Need I say more?Remember what I said about girly mindset? I'm not a big fan of this particular shade of pink, but this would still be perfect and floaty for the summer.

Hello Sofia
After watching Marie Antoinette twice in three days for a [craptacular] movie review, I was intrigued by Sofia Coppola.

Not to say that I wasn't intrigued by her already (I've been obsessed with The Virgin Suicides since about last January) it just wasn't until a mixture of procrastination and fascination that I decided to join a Sofia Coppola fan group on Facebook. That opened my eyes to a plethora of pictures of the female director, and I was hooked.
As a movie buff, and aspiring filmmaker, I think she is amazing. Now I can appreciate her fashion sense.

And between you and me, I'm currently rocking, what I have dubbed, the Sofia Coppola side part.

Had a pretty busy week last week, what with my terrible seminar I had to do on Nietzsche in World History and... actually that's the only reason why my week was busy. *sadface*

Right now I'm ankle deep in Marie Antoinette for a historical movie review I have to do for World History. I know people weren't very fond of it, but I love it. The costumes are great, the scenery is great, and I love Sofia Coppola. Unfortunately, I can't watch it without an urge to eat cake. Ironic, no?


I'll get back to the point of the post. As evident in the title, I need a haircut. Badly. I haven't had one since the end of August, so right now my hair is looking long and drab, and I'm sick of putting it in a bun all the time.

I'm thinking a good update would be bangs. Not the mod, blunt kind of fringe but something side-swept like this:
Or something like this:
Frankly I like the second picture better, but I'm not quite sure if I could pull it off.

Help!
