Art & Daily Style!

Hey y'all! So today I wanted to post about whats been preoccupying the vast majority of my time lately! I alluded to it being a photography project, and a photography project it is! But its also a combination between photography and sculpture! So here's what I've been working on!




Yes, its a photosculpture of my Jeffery Campbell Litas! This was my photography project for my media class this year, and I am quite happy with my result! It got lots of good comments from the viewers in the gallery, which was really nice for me! 

Basically what I did was carve and shape a model of my shoe on a 1.5:1 scale (approx. 18"x18"x6") out of pink foam, and then take hundreds of macro photos of my shoe and all the details of it and then collaged them onto the model, attaching the photos with Dressmakers pins. 

It took approximately 3.5 weeks to carve and shape the model, and then another week or so to photograph and attach all of the pictures to the model, so it took me a total of just over a month to complete! I am very satisfied with my work, although there are still some touch up to be made.

As well, I wore this outfit to go to the Closing Show at the gallery!


Jacket: Danier (given to me by mum)
Scarf: ???
Necklace: F21
Dress: Spoof!
Leggings: Urban Behaviour
Shoes: Jeffery Campbell
Bag: Aldo

It was a somewhat simple outfit since I only had about 15 minutes to throw something together after a fitting for a modelling gig I got, but I quite liked my result! It felt artsy enough to be an artist at a gala, but fancy enough to go out for dinner afterwards! And of course, I had to wear my Litas to show off my Lita sculpture :P Anyways, here's a couple of other photos from the night.

Explaining a friend's piece to a onlooker.

Went out for dinner with my friend afterwards. That loaf of bread was as big as her head!

Anyways, now that its getting nicer out, I feel more inclined to really try with my outfits! So I'm definitely going to try and post more outfit shots more often! I also want to do a Spring gets post as well, so hopefully that will be coming soon! In the mean time, look at these pretty tulips from the park near my house!


Anyways, I must go to bed now! Until next time!

Happy Easter!

Hey y'all! Just wanted to drop by and wish all those celebrating a Happy Easter! :D I took this opportunity to camwhore in a cute somewhat Easter-themed outfit, but most of the pictures turned out crappy ; ^ ; So I just have a couple of photos to share today!



Not really Easter-themed, but I had the ears anyways :P So I figured, why not! But I did get that dress recently and I'm super in love with it :D It has a super cute cutout in the back too! Unfortunately you can't see it, but I might do a Spring GETS post soon and I'll show it off then!

Also, I'm going to try harder to take more pictures of my outfits daily, since I do wear some pretty cute stuff some times :3 So let's hope this works out!

And I finally cut the bangs into my silver Melty wig this weekend :3 I'm super happy with the results! I was super nervous as I didn't want to mess it up and then have to order another wig :| Now I just need to trim up my Gumi wig!

Anyways, I do have something else I want to blog about soon, but I've yet to take any pictures of it! So hopefully sometime this week!

Until next time! :D

Major Hair Change! :O

Hey guys! So I'm sorry I've been a terrible blogger lately :( As some of you may or may not know, I was participating in my schools production of Phantom of the Opera (which was an incredible success, as we completely sold out all 17 of our shows!), and then the week after we finished I spent everyday catching up on all of the school work I missed, which included 6 chemistry and biology classes =____=;;. But I'm coming to the end of my spring break now, and I'm quite well rested and ready to talk about a big change thats happened to me recently!

If you follow me on tumblr or are a fan of my FB page, you will have seen this already but...

I dyed my hair.







TEAL.




WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I am absolutely in love with it :D I think it was an awesome choice, although I may be regretting it in a month or so, but I honestly don't even care. I've had to deal with so many people staring, but I expected that and I'm kind of used to it already, haha. Only downside is that I can only wash my hair with cold water now :( BLAH.

I haven't really had anything important to blog about lately because I've been so busy, but hopefully things will pick up now that I'm less occupied! Cosplay posts will definitely become more frequent as I (finally) start working on my cosplays for Anime North! :D

Anyways, I've had a long day of road trippin' around, so I'm gonna hit the hay! Hopefully another post soon :3

Until next time!

Daily Style: Florals! (+ some gets)

Hey y'all! So today was my first day off form rehearsal in a very long while, and I've been taking great advantage of it by sleeping a relaxing all day! I also did a little bit of shopping this afternoon as well, and I'll show you a couple of my gets in a bit! But first I want to show an outfit I wore for a friend's birthday dinner a little while ago.

Happy Valentine's Day! (LUSH!)


First order of business, Happy Valentine's Day! I'm celebrating my seventeenth straight single Valentine's day this year! (Forever alone... ; ^ ; lol). I've made it through the day! But not without a few choice products from Lush's Valentine's day collection!

Chou Chou... I Love You! Toothy Tabs 

Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar

I already plan on going back to Lush to try and scoop up any leftover Vday products! I sent my sister a nice fat slice of their Sweetheart soap as well, and bought these goodies for myself. :D

Toothy Tabs, for those of you who don't know, are solid toothpaste tablets! To use, you place a tablet in your mouth, break it up with your teeth, and then brush with a wet toothbrush! They are very convenient, and work surprisingly well! I've tried about 4 of the regular flavours, but I am absolutely in LOVE with the Valentine's day ones! They have the same fragrance/taste as the Rose Jam bubbleroon and Ro's Argan Body Conditioner, which is a gorgeous Turkish rose and lemon. They truly leave your breath smelling like roses! It's quite different from your standard mint, but I can't get enough of this flavour! I'll have to stock up before they sell out :3

The Magic Mushroom bubble bar is a returning favourite, and that's no surprise! It has a gorgeous strawberry-vanilla scent, and it just looks so cute! With about half of the bar, you get mountains of creamy strawberry bubbles, and its just absolute heaven! Especially after a long day at rehearsals =____=;; Another product I hoping to stock up more of, but this product always sells out so quickly! I hope I can snatch up another couple this weekend ><

And yes, I spent my whole Valentine's day at school, then rehearsal all night! Such is the life I lead ;__; Phantom of the Opera opens next Friday, so the pressures really on now! I've been at rehearsal every night after school until 10:30 pm for the last two weeks, and its really starting to take a toll on me! I miss the days where I just got to sleep all the time :'D But it'll be over before I know it, and that'll be a little sad!

Anyways, I have some chemistry homework to finish up, so I'll leave y'all for now! I want to post again soon, hopefully in the next couple of days?

Until then, happy Valentine's day! <3
