dress Dynamite / heels Steve Madden / clutch ALDO / watch Michael Kors

I had my eye on this dress for the past couple of weeks but never forked over the $50 to buy it. I took a picture in the changeroom and occasionally pulled it out to stare at it wistfully. Then Dynamite had a BOGO 50% off sale and I just couldn't resist! Bought this dress and another, while more money was spent it felt like I saved, as silly as it is.

It's a bit long for me so I fold it in just a little at the bottom, but I can see this as a great office dress. I think it's pretty versatile, it can be formal or just everyday.

This clutch, though. I thought it was adorable.


I love Steve Madden because they are the most affordable brand of flashy, quality, comfy heels. I danced all night once in this pair, and it only hurt a little!

 Favourite go-to necklace at the moment. Bought in China.

I've been super lazy these past few days! My boyfriend and I started a 1000 piece puzzle which is on our bucket list but, well, it is not as relaxing as we thought it would be. It's a cute picture of 4 frogs stacked on top of one another, one smaller than the next, but the background is almost completely blurred shades of green and we keep getting frustrated!

We also saw Godzilla with his friends and left with mixed feelings. I am of the opinion that for a Godzilla movie, there was not much Godzilla action.

This top was one of my favourite pieces in highschool. It was my first chiffon shirt back when I couldn't find any in the usual stores but found at Winners. It's so soft and flowy with the lace detail on the back and bow in the front. Paired with button-down linen skirt, reminds me of a very toned down Mori girl style.

I've become inexplicably lazy after exams finished. When I was busy my head was filled with all the things I wish I could do and I would actually make time to draw and blog and take fashion photos. Now that exams are over I feel like I don't care about my interests anymore, which is silly because I have all the time in the world now. Either way, here's a few of the pieces I did this semester.


Self-portrait, silver on paper, 4 x 6
One of my favourites, the silver oxidizes over time and the drawing gradually becomes darker.

Pattern, Sakura Micron on stonehenge paper, 15 x 11

Negative drawing skeleton study, charcoal on newsprint, 18 x 24

Even though this course had nothing to do with my major, it ended up being one of my highest marks because I enjoyed it so much and consequently put in more effort.
