It's summer!

And to celebrate, I'm going to talk about sunglasses. Yay!

Now personally, I'm cursed when it comes to sunglasses. They break, or I lose quite quickly after getting them so I've gone through several pairs in my short life. At the moment I have a pair of black, square-rimmed sunglasses that you see on many celebrities, but I also wear glasses so it makes wearing sunglasses a tad difficult because it's nice to be able to see.

Nonetheless I'm still coveting a pair of aviators à la Kate Moss or Angelina Jolie
See? Stunning.

My friend, Lauren, is also in search of some sunglasses, and she's under the similar affliction of not being able to find ones that suit her face. The best part is she's looking for a style I believe she refers too as "old lady sunglasses", which sounds weird, but are absolutely amazing.

I found some examples on ModCloth and other places:
Cool eh?

Exams are over!

I have nothing to do, which is a weird feeling, but I have more time to update you, sweet blog.

Anyway after my Canadian History exam today, I was talking to my friend Gillian about formal. Last night my mom made a pattern for the skirt portion of my dress, and she's going to test it tonight or tomorrow. But I digress, the point is that I found absolutely gorgeous shoes at Aldo that I really want to use for my dress.I'm sorry about the small picture. You can see it better on their website located here.

Fashion Pet Peeve #1

Well up here in Kingston, school is winding down, and exams begin next week. June 28 is Commencement, and the next day it's formal. Collective woots are in order.

Anyway, the point of this post, is that I need to air a fashion pet peeve of mine, which is the overprocessed hair-do.
Along the lines of this:
Or perhaps this:
I'm sure you guys know what I mean. The shiny, ringlet-y mass of hair that gets piled on top of the heads of girls at proms and formals across the continent.

It's hard to say why this hairstyle bothers me so much. I suppose it's just how unnatural it looks, and the sheer amount of ozone depleting hair spary it took to achieve that look. I myself have never been one to be fussy about my hair, and I don't like doing anything too trendy with it, in fear of looking back at it years from now and smacking my forehead in a "what was I thinking?!" sort of way.

I am quite aware that it is one of those nights where girls like to go all out with their outfit/hair/make-up, but celebrities are a pretty good place to find inspiration, for a non-processed look.

For example I think I'm going to go for this for formal:
It's natural, it's cute, it looks fairly easy to do and it's something different than what I'd usually do with my hair. My theory is that if I put my hair it up, it will be falling out by the end of the night, and if I leave my hair down, I can easily put it up in a messy ponytail or bun later on. Please don't kill me for saying that though...

I've said this before, and I'll say it again

I want the girl in this video's outfit.

Or better yet, I want to be her.

P.S. Does anybody know how to post videos?

The swimsuit of my dreams...

Although I wouldn't wear the bottoms like it shows in the picture.

Yay! I'm sort of back, for I have finished my two major essays for school. I won't be done my exams until June 19th, but that's no big deal.

The swimsuit above is from American Apparel, and I'm hoping it's in the store. Nothing is more annoying than finding out the dream article of clothing you've found online is not in the store, but I'm sure this is old news to you, and you're yawning at the redundancy of this post and my naiveté. Who am I kidding, nobody reads this (insert smiley emoticon here).
