You and I will be young forever

All clothing from Mod Cloth. I'm feeling a 50s vibe, guys, and I don't want it to go away...

The winds that blow around me remind me of what has been and what can never be

I know posts have been slow lately. I have a valid excuse (this time): I'm leaving for university in 9 days (eek) so I'm spending most of my time with my friends or boyfriend, ie not on a computer or with a camera. However, it was my birthday on the 15th (I am now 18!) and I went out with friends this Monday to celebrate. I only took photos afterwards on the walk home with my best friend and boyfriend, and I'm not even going to show you most of those photos because.. well... you don't want to know. The evening was a ton of fun though - good to get the gang back together before we all basically go our seperate ways.
Also, I'm going sky diving in 4 days. Yeah, I'm pretty bad ass, I know.
One more point: I've been thinking of dyeing my hair blue. Speaking of my hair, it's now long enough to put up. I don't know if it looks good. Yay or nay?
Current musical obsession: "The Lighthouse's Tale" by Nickel Creek. So heart wrenchingly sad.

The enemy who we are trying to identify is us

Been thinking of adding colour to my hair. Only problem is, I don't know which colour (red, blue, pink) or how, exactly...
Any ideas?

With my freeze ray, I will stop the world

I know I haven't done a proper outfit post in a while. I'm getting back in the habit of actually taking photos. Our kitchen is being redone so doing the "point and timer" ones are out. I could ask the contruction worker to take the photos... I'm just kidding. That's weird, even for me.
Anyways, I also bought the boots in the last set of photos at Aldo while in Montreal. I was looking for a "tough motorcycler meets Resident Evil meets wearable and not ugly" boot. I call these a success. Comfy, too.

So, in 2 weeks this Saturday I move to my university 6 hours away from my hometown. I'm finishing up everything (cough cough starting everything..), such as packing and school-related things. One thing I'm worried about is bringing up clothes and shoes. There's too much. I don't know which to bring and which to *sadly* leave behind.
In other university-related news, I'm terrified. I know it can be fun, making new friends, new surroundings, bla bla bla. Doesn't mean it isn't frightening. I'm not going to lie, I absolutely detest how society forces upon us that our entire life has to be decided upon at the age of 16-18. Don't get me wrong, planning is good, but your entire life can be incredible (or ruined) based on one or two decisions you made in your last year of high school. That's a lot of pressure on a kid. And yes, high schoolers, in my opinion, are still kids. You depend on your parents for nearly everything, and if not them, your friends. You cannot live independently yet. Hell, half of us can't cook anything besides zapping something in the microwave. And yet, we are supposed to decide our entire life now? And if you actually think about it, you're doing this in grade ten because you need the prerequisite courses for grade eleven and grade twelve. Otherwise, you're screwed.
Story of my life, eh?

Crazy random happenstances

These pictures are from our "break day" in Florida where we went shopping. I didn't end up getting any of these things, either because of their prices or fit, though I did leave with a good haul.





(1. random insane skirt I loved but they only had it in super tiny sizes 2. DVF dress. Unfortunately, it fit too big in the chest and too small at the hips 3. Valentino shoes -in my size! 4. L.A.M.B wedges 5. Marc Jacobs dress)
And some shots from shopping in Montreal the following weekend:



(1. H&M lace shorts I bought. And love. 2. H&M "dress" which doesn't cover everything and is see-through... 3. What I wore shopping. My lazy days outfit)



An outfit from last week. I wore an AA bodysuit with the H&M shorts and my new Aldo heels. These suckers are hard to walk in. Worth the head turns, though.

Florida- p3

This is the last batch of tourist pictures from Florida. Also, the second one is my epic burn I got on the second last day there.
