you look so good it hurts*

Hey guys, I know I keep disappearing...  (I'm secretly a spy shh...)
I'm actually mid-move (6th time's the charm right) and living the sweet life of zach and cody aka in a hotel.
On top of that I have a cold that I can't seem to shake (maybe it would help if I didn't go to bed at 3???)
BUT my cousin and I are gonna go location scouting with a bag of my clothes and take outfit photos around the city someday. Hopefully soon...

Also, I recently joined the blogger network which made me discover QUIZ *glitter flies into the air as I ride a unicorn into the world of fashion*

I think I need to stop looking through their site because every time I do, I open a gazillion tabs and then realize that no, I can't buy every single one of their items. *dramatic sigh*

Anyway, so here are "a few" of my favourite items/my wishlist. This list was a lot longer earlier, like a lot. I think I've had to narrow it down five different times. 

Tops


floral crop top
floral crop top
textured check crop top
floral print crepe bralet top
graphic print crop top
floral print bardot crop top
Bottoms/Playsuits/Dresses
gingham leggings

bardot jumpsuit
this one reminds me of 13 Going On 30

honeycomb playsuit
flock leaf print midi dress

aqua and pink two tone mesh prom dress
floral bardot dress
Shoes & Wraps
chunky flatform gladiator sandals
embroidered mesh shrug
I really love the flowers, colours, and summer vibes and tartan. I bet John Mayer wrote Your Body Is A Wonderland after seeing his girlie in QUIZ clothing. It only makes sense.

i care but i don't care

Hola chicas!
The festivals have been ah may zing!
So far, I've seen:
Snarky Puppy - Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers - Earth, Wind, & Fire - Aretha Franklin - Bobby McFerrin - Danny Brown - RL Grime - Adventure Club - Journey - Zedd - Lady Gaga - Brothers Dubé - Mac DeMarco - St Vincent

St Vincent was incredible. 
She's so strange/crazy/cool/talented, I was kinda awe-struck. 
Her voice is beautiful, her guitar playing is mind-blowing and she's just such a performer, it was a great show. 
Her whole show was actually really minimalist but also very staged and yet she still had the whole audience hooked, which was definitely impressive. She had this whole persona and dance moves down including this foot shuffle that, if you couldn't see her feet, you'd think she was on a moving catwalk. 



She had a bunch of mind blowing guitar solos and, during one of them she and her band member smiled at each other because they could hear us cheering and it just warmed my heart that they were happy and adorable and awww band members <3 


During another guitar solo, security carried her back and forth along the gate so fans could touch her and then when she got back on stage she did that crazy turning on the floor while playing guitar and hitting the pedal with her heel even though she can't see it and even playing with the guitar behind her head thing. It was sick and I was impressed times infinity because wowowowow she is amazing. 


I didn't take any pictures because I just wanted to enjoy the show and soak in everything.
Check her out if you haven't already and if you have the opportunity to go see her, you reeeeeally should because it was quite a show!


These were taken at my new favourite spot; I call it the Dr Seuss place because the fake giant door, fake TV, fake windows and two chairs and the colours remind me of his stories and this place just makes me happy.

Also, yes, the purple is sadly already almost completely faded and back to blonde.
The title is a lyric from Digital Witness by St Vincent
Big thank you to Madison who took these for me and encouraged me to buy the glasses.
