party all night and sleep all day

Hello Hello
This past week has been a blur! Sometimes I feel like I'm just living for the weekends now. Friday night was a night out with friends, and yesterday I saw one of my good friends get married - how old do I feel! It was a beautiful ceremony though. I've been doing some shopping here and there but I just can't seem to find anything in stores that I like right now, maybe my style is just in a bit of a rut right now? I need some fashion soul-searching hah!
I know, I've been putting up so many nighttime shots lately:

My best friend T found the nerd glasses in her purse, and I decided I absolutely had to wear them for the rest of the evening. Today I'm heading over to the Art Gallery of Ontario to take in the Surrealism exhibit! Hope you all had a lovely weekend xx

she likes electro, she love hiphop; she like the reggae, she feel punk rock

Hey Loves!
Very full weekend of going out, having a girls night out, seeing movies and celebrating father's day. (Love you Daddy, hope you liked your new socks!)
I picked up the latest Black Eyed Peas album, and I really have to encourage everyone to go get it! I loooveee BEP (I might even go so far as to say I'm their biggest fan) and I'm also really into electro music, and this new cd is the best fusion. Check out "Rock That Body" and "I Gotta Feeling"

Also, the most beautiful Rodellee interviewed me as the Blog of the Month for her awesome site Adorevintage.com, which was such an honor considering I've been a fan of both Adorevintage and her personal blog for so long. Here's a few of my answers:

We love your style, it's sort of a mix between edgy, girlie, vintage, and new wave... so we're wondering who are your style icons?
My style is a bit all over the place, I have a hard time defining it! Icons are definitely Ashley Olsen, Dree Hemingway, and right now I'm loving some of the outfits that the Cobrasnake photographs (hello Tallulah Morton). I draw most of my inspiration from magazine editorials, designer lookbooks, and random images that I see on a daily basis, including some fashion blogs.
Other than blogging, what other things do you enjoy doing?
Of course, I enjoy shopping. Hunting around in vintage and thrift stores is my favorite, because its so rewarding when I score an awesome piece. Other than that, my life consists of drinking a lot of coffee, reading (I'm specializing in English at university), travelling, going out to new clubs and bars, practicing yoga and going to movies.
Last place you traveled to?
I recently returned from an amazing weekend in Montreal. The city is incredible, perfect mix of Canadian downtown with hints of Europe everywhere. Next stop for me is London, England in a few weeks, and hopefully Boston later in the summer.
Your hair and make-up always look flawless, other than apparent good genes, what are some of your beauty secrets?
I owe everything to my mother who has perfect skin, without the use of Botox or fancy creams. I'm afraid genes really are the answer for me. I don't take very good care of my skin (I'll go for days without taking off my makeup), but I am addicted to face lotion, and I never go to bed without applying a thick night cream. I think that, as cliche as it sounds, moisturizing and drinking water really are the keys to good skin. I never leave the house without sunglasses on during the day and I don't suntan - I'm all about wrinkle prevention. And for hair, I don't wash it too often (every other day at most) and always let it dry naturally. My beauty regime is pretty low key.

she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man

Hey Loves
This weekend I went to Montreal. These pictures were taken walking home in the early, early morning on Saturday. I found the rose in the bar, all fancily wrapped up and took it. Probably killed some guys game who was planning to give it to a lady friend. Oh well.
I opened my suitcase, only to realize that other than a pair of jeans, I'd packed only men's clothing. Chris and I spent the weekend drinking, sleeping in, hitting up kitschy diners for breakfast, dragging Christopher all over the city to shop (visiting many stores that you guys recommended, thank you SO much), walking till my feet were bleeding, eating incredible Lime-Citron Tarte, wearing silly sunglasses, watching hippies in the park, and falling in love with Milla Jovovich and Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, (though I'm partial to Slater and his revelations).
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend too! LOVE.

p.s. A while ago I got an email from the lovely Maria over at Chicisimo asking if she could feature some of my looks occasionally. Well, now Chicisimo has a brand new look. It's an awesome site for inspiration, and allows positive commenting only, so check it out!
