OOTD; As Conservative As I Can Get (Part II)

More job hunting.

It absolutely poured yesterday; my boots soaked through, and they're for the most part water-proof. I haven't been out in a rainstorm that bad in awhile, and all of Robson Street was running for cover.

After I got home and changed into the same lazy day outfit that I wore in this post, my friend came over and we watched TV, made grilled cheese sandwiches, and played Scene-It. We were nowhere near as good at regular Scene-it than Harry Potter Scene-It.

I realize I never talked about the big HP Scene-It party I had a few weeks back, bit it's probably for the better.

You'd all judge me if you saw how much Harry Potter trivia I knew v_v

Elsie makes a cameo in those photos; when I put the camera on self timer, she kept going up to it and sniffing. I guess she saw the blinking light, and that kind of freaked her out.

I got 'The Listening' by Lights right after I wrote that blog post, and I really like it.

It's not too new, since I had about six of her songs off the album already, but 'Face Up' and 'Quiet' are amazing.

QuestionOfTheDay;

Are you a power dressing kind of person? Meaning do you like suits, blazers, heels, trenches, the whole professional look?

I do, which may surprise some people, especially people who knew me when i had my pink/purple hair. Wearing what I wore yesterday just makes me feel older, and more powerful.

I hate looking my age.

Love.

OOTD; As Conservative As I Can Be

_ Dress from a boutique in Montreal

_ Leather jacket from New Look (as per usual)

_ Tights from American Apparel

_ Beret from H&M

_ Ankle boots from Spring

_ Laptop bag from H&M (not shown)

_ 'I'm Fondue Of You' nail polish by OPI

_ More blush (MAC's Melba and Harmony mixed) than usual

Today was another 'dropping off resumés' day, so I tried to look slightly conservative, not that I want to work anywhere conservative. As Stacy and Clinton say "Dress for the job you want."

But I had to add blue tights; as professional as I want to look, they have to remember me.

I think this outfit worked; I got many a cat call from all the construction workers downtown. And there were a lot -_-

The new nail colour is OPI's 'I'm Fondue Of You'.

It's a chocolate brown with a bit of red shimmer, and I'm super into it. I always have to go back to dark nails; I think this obsession happened after seeing Emily Blunt in 'The Devil Wears Prada'.

There's a bunch of albums I have to download at this point;

'The Boy Who Knew Too Much' - Mika

'Crash Love' - AFI

'The Listening' - Lights

'The Resistance' - Muse

'Man On The Moon - The End Of The Day' - Kid Cudi

'Brand New Eyes' - Paramore

'It's Not Me, It's You' - Lily Allen (I know, I haven't jumped on this bandwagon yet)

'19' - Adele (Nor this one)

'Ellipse' - Imogen Heap

'Goodbye Blues' - The Hush Sound (This has been out for forever, I know)

I had better get on that.

(That's what she said.)

QuestionOfTheDay;

What albums do you have to buy? Which have you bought but have yet to listen to? What were the last two/three albums you've bought?

My answer to the first one is above, right not I'm working on 'Optics' by I:Scintilla (I have to give it a more thorough listen), and I've already answered the last question in my MuchMusic VJ application video.

Love.

OOTD; Spending Too Much On Vegetarian Food/Elsie's Birthday

Tons of drama yesterday morning.
My sister wanted to that Lady Gaga and Kanye West tour; I thought about going for Lady Gaga, obvs, but then realized I'd have to sit through Kanye West. Anyway, I kind of some what promised I'd buy her the tickets when they went on sale at 10 am. And I forgot about said promise, naturally.
Friday rolled around and I absentmindedly told my sister that I was catching the 10 am bus when she asked me where I was going that day. She reminded me about the tickets.
Conundrum.

After much yelling and weighing the options on my part, I gave in and decided to miss my bus and be late to lunch with my friends. I called them and explained everything, of course; keeping rudeness to a minimum is a constant goal of mine.
So all in all, I'm a saint and my sister owes me. Plus I would have felt guilty is I didn't.

I caught the 10:30 bus and eventually met my friends at The Naam sometime around noon, possibly later. The Naam is a vegetarian restaurant that my mom claims to have been around for "about thirty years". I don't know if that's factual or not, but my mom said it, and she wouldn't lie to me.
I had the Thai Dragon Bowl which was amazing. Anywhere that can incorporate tofu into a meal and make it still delicious is good in my book.

Afterwards, one of my friends had to go back to university, while me and the other friends, Kelly, bussed downtown to do some shopping.

Sidenote;
I've never named any of my friends on this blog. This is honestly because I don't know if they would want me to. Kelly, I'm going to put your name out there because A) you took the OOTD pictures and B) you managed to find this blog, so if you don't want your name out there, you can just tell me.

I saw the MAC Style Black collection.
I am disappoint.
I knew I wasn't going to buy any of the lipsticks, because I want to buy Lime Crime's Styletto lipstick when it comes out, but I at least thought the lipglosses would work. The two black lipglosses with shimmer were barely pigmented, and the pure black one just wasn't working. Kelly agreed with me on that. The mineralized eyeshadows were all right, but mineralized eye shadows just aren't as pigmented as MAC's regular eyeshadows.
So while I was deeply upset, my wallet was not, and I now have a spare couple of Canadian bills in my pocket.

This is when I gave Kelly my camera and told her to shoot some Outfit Of The Day Photos while I was walking. I was talking to her throughout the entire time, which is why my mouth is all contorted and giving me less than attractive faces.

We used to do photography together in high school; there are few people I'd ask to do the OOTD shots, just because everyone always tries to get me dead in the center of the photo, and then they'll awkwardly crop out my feet or something. Kelly learned the rule of thirds. My god, I love the rule of thirds.

Later than night, Kelly and two of our friends watched a couple movies together, 'X Men Origins: Wolverine' and 'X2'.
Many 'that's What She Said' jokes ensued.

'X Men Origins: Wolverine' was a basic action movie, which was disappointing, since I adore the X Men trilogy.
First strike against it: Dominic Monaghan dies within the first ten minutes.
They seriously just put that guy in stuff so he can die. Which sucks because I love him. He will always be Charlie to me.
('Not Penny's Boat' will always be one of the saddest moments in TV)
Afterwards we watched 'X2', which put the 'Wolverine' to shame; you can really see the bad in a movie when you watch an awesome movie after it.

Mystique and Magneato will always be my favourites.


And Xavier.


Today was a lazy day; I took a OOTD picture, but it's honestly too bland to post.
Not the outfit, I like it, but the photos themselves were such a fail.

It's Elsie's (my dog) birthday today!

She's two years old! Honestly though, it feels like we've had her forever; she's part of the family.

My mom, dad, and I took her on a walk down to the local Starbucks, thus why I got dressed.

Tonight I'm just going to read 'White Oleander' and watch the season premiere of 'Saturday Night Live'. Megan Fox is hosting. We'll see if her acting improves.

QuestionOfTheDay;

Do you watch TV a lot? What are your favourite shows? I don't know anyone who watches TV as much as me, but that's becasue I have a PVR. Before the PVR I only watched a few primetime shows. I don't know how I survived.

You'll hear me talk a lot about TV on this blog.






Love.
