That's The Only Time I Wish Would Come Back.

These are my new favorite tights.
They got a run the first time I worn them :(
That won't stop me from wearing them...I am a little heartbroken.
There are many new favorites in this one, actually.
The dress has gorgeous neckline details and a cutout (look at the link in the outfit description).
The wedges make me feel all cartoon-y and happy. Definitely a pick me up!

That's What I'm Here For, A Good Time.

Adam and I went to American Apparel, and I reluctantly bought both the ruffled socks that I'd been eyeing for quite sometime...and their nail polish in Port. A yummy deep bordeaux, I have been wearing it whenever I can.

Also seen here: my new favourite shoes. A serious, serious steal at $25, these Aldo beauties came from the Aldo Outlet (if you live in Vancouver, it's on Granville, go!). They are my highest so far...but I think I might be addicted to dizzying heights now. It's a problem...and the only solution is more shoes, ha ha.

In Anticipation.















I'm planning on hitting up the AA rummage sale not once but twice (friday and sunday) because I figure there will be many deals that can't be missed since I hardly ever buy regular priced items from American Apparel anyway.
Hopefully I'll score some items like these (from the caliselect blog) tomorrow.
Wish me luck!



A New Look?

California Select.

I have a love/hate relationship with American Apparel...
Most of the dislike stems from my frustration at random things being either overpriced, simple to make or sometimes, just ugly (fanny pack anyone?).
I do however love looking at the California Select ebay store, AA's own vintage shop.
They have several "California Select Originals" which have sparked ideas for future D.I.Y.s, like the "Hannah" oversized tank and the "Schoolgirl" cutout dress. After finding this fall lookbook for California Select, I'm thinking perhaps I will fit the bodysuit I won from American Apparel through Chictopia (thanks ChicRewards!), since there is a model is closer to my size than any other AA models thus far. One can only hope, right?




XL Model Search!

I'm not big on contests that involve being judged on your looks, but this one actually caught my attention. I think it's interesting that American Apparel is finally featuring items in XL. I don't know about you, but I've always found that their clothing runs quite small. I'm hopeful for some easier shopping...

If you would like to vote for me (the contest ends on my birthday, and what a wonderful present that would be!) you can do so here!

Lola Paige.

A couple of months ago, I stumbled upon an adorable line out of California called Lola Paige. They make beach inspired dresses and separates, but with a vintage inspired twist. I was pretty excited to wear this dress. I mean, how flippin' cute and easy is this piece? Equally exciting: I GOT KORK EASE. I've been lusting after these ever since CaliVintage got her first pair...but they were always a little out of my reach financially. Aritzia's end of summer sale meant that a little pavement-pounding and $50 later, Avas were finally mine! It's like walking on air, and I am so much taller.

In other news, I entered the American Apparel XL Model Search. I usually avoid contests like this, but I figured, why not? I'd really appreciate your votes if you feel so inclined. Here is my entry!

Lola Paige was kind enough to offer a promocode: Pacific317 gets you 20% off the Pacific Dress.
