give me one good reason

The other day, my friend and I went to one of the LGBT Pride concerts, RuPaul's Drag Race: Battle of the Seasons. 
It. Was. Awesome. 
RuPaul's Drag Race is basically the drag queen version of America's Next Top Model. The drag queens that performed were gorgeous, talented, hilarious and super sassy. They danced, sang & lip-synched. Bianca did some stand-up and then even got people from the crowd to dance on stage. It was a pretty hilarious night.
Bianca Del Rio is the sassiest person to ever exist. Ever.

Thank you to Madison and my mom for taking these pictures for me!

every inch of you is perfect

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I have about a week of summer left. How did summer fly by so quickly??? Mind=blown 
The end of summer means the beginning of my junior year which is pretty terrifying. In movies, junior year always looks super fun and the perfect year to skip classes and go crazy, party, be a rebellious teenager *dramatically removes sunglasses to show a total badass look* I have a sneaky feeling I won't be doing any of those though. *sigh*
I have had a great summer though and hope you all did too!
I know I was kind of MIA for a long time but hopefully as the school year starts I'll be a bit more inspired. 
So without further ado here are a few pictures of what I wore today; nothing special, just something casual to walk around town in but also loose enough not to suffocate because it is so dang hot here.
Thank you to my momma who took these for me (hi mom!)

How were your summers? Is it super hot where you are?

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.

Big thank you to Madison who took these for me and encouraged me to buy the glasses.

Hello darlings!

Summer has officially started!!!
A little hair update: if you didn't already know, I have blonde hair and a side shave which has actually grown pretty quickly. Plus I recently dyed my hair purple!
I'm finally reunited with my bestie Madison after not seeing her for a year!! So here are some outfit photos we took! :)

My shirt is actually my school uniform shirt that I tie-dyed in AP Art on our last day. I really like how the design and pastel dye (dye+water) turned out.

I've been volunteering at a music festival, as I've mentioned before, and got to see Steve Martin and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others! THEY WERE SO GOOD!

Hello dolls!
School's almost ouuuuut!!!! I can't wait for summer so I can lazily watch movies, read and write as much as I want, be stress free, shop, stay up late, and not have to worry about school or homework. 

Yesterday was my first day interning at a theatre and it was really interesting, I made part of the programs for the upcoming shows so that was cool!
After my internship, I go back to school to write the world's longest report on it then have an oral exam on it as well then
I'm freeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Soon, I'll be volunteering at a music festival, going to a music festival, celebrating Canada Day, and hopefully having an amazing summer! 

nail polish - h&m (it lasted 2 days worth of pool & a whole week before chipping)
ring - urban outfitters 

Saturday was one of my deerest (hi) friends' birthday and he had a dance party and it was absolutely lovely! 
The music was awesome for dancing, especially because there were different genres like disco, punk, rock, techno-ish, latino music, basically everything except pop. 
Plus, there was really good food, an adorable dog and a cute roof-climbing cat. 
My friend Chanelle and I recently discovered the beauty that is a slack line and we're slightly obsessed and there magically was one at the party and I'll let you guess what happened...
(hint: we went on it a lot) 
Also, I got to spend time and dance with some of my best friends and who doesn't like dancing or spending time with their favourite people???

~and now, the moment you've all been waiting for...~

~the clothes~

jacket - a generous gift from my best friend
grey crop top - h&m
black skater skirt - h&m
purple shoes - vans
bloody legs - mine thabks

I may or may not wear this skirt basically 24/7 which is weird because I didn't use to be very fond of skirts, but I guess I got more used to them because of my uniform. And also, once I got this one, I fell in love and now I love skirts!
I'm wearing my purple vans because I knew I was gonna dance around and twirl like a princess, woohoooooo!

choker - thrifted
necklace - somewhere in Korea

I love this outfit because it looks so grungy and I feel like a total badass in it. (It's mostly the jacket to be honest)

back of the jacket

Can we just take a second to admire this jacket.
~swoon~

My best friend Christina very (times infiniti) generously gave me this jacket and I lovelovelovelovelovelovelove it, it's so soft and gorgeous and grungy and reminds me of Asia and i just... *sighs of love*

FUNNY STORY TIME
So, walking from the party down a PITCH BLACK pathway to our car, my mom says "step step" so I repeat "watch the step" to my friends after taking the step and thinking "wow, thank god I knew about it, good thing I told them, now they won't fall unless they don't listen, that would be funny" *evilly laughs on the inside* 
Then I trip on the second step, hit the edge against my legs, fall on the steps and now I have the world's biggest scrape on my leg and two smaller ones on both legs.

This may not sound that painful but it bled like a drop so it was obviously super painful and also the scrape is about (casually just measured it for you) 7 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide and hurts even when I don't touch it and stings all the time. *dramatically cries*
After everyone made sure I was ok, we're all laughing (them more than me) and my mom says "I said step step, that's what we told Splash (a blind dog we knew)! Step step means two steps, come on Céline!" 
Thanks mom, I'm clumsier and understand less than a blind dog.
Awesome.

Hope my painful story made you smile at least. :)

What are your plans for this summer? What have you been up to lately? Anything painful yet funny happen to you?

Thanks to Valentina for taking these pictures (and actually wanting to) with her super pro camera

Special thanks to Christina for the lovely jacket

if i could change your mind (haul)

Hey guys! Sorry I keep disappearing, things have been a little hectic lately and I'm trying to find a better day to post stuff than monday or tuesday. Any ideas?
Anyway, here's what I've bought in the last month or two. I usually don't buy this much but I went shopping a lot recently and had christmas and birthday money to spend so I splurged. :)

Let's get to it!
So a while ago, my cousin and I went to a flea market where I bought these black, ripped, high waisted, vintage Levi's. They're super comfy and they're not skinny jeans but they're not super loose either. They're looser on the legs so I wear them rolled about two inches above my ankle.

I also bought a blue vintage gipsy-like maxi skirt with moons and stars on it. It's so flowy and comfy and pretty and I love it hihi.

I got a vintage Morgan mod-type skirt as well. It's short and has a sort of sailor yet preppy yet mean girl vibe. Sailor because of the six buttons on both sides of the waist. Preppy because I feel like I'm channeling my inner Cher, Tai or Dionne from Clueless. And finally, mean girl because it makes me think of Mean Girls. I will make fetch happen in this skirt!

Accessory-wise, I purchased a red rose wreath/headband. I love the headband so much. It holds really well (even when I run!) and I feel like a princess in it and come on, who doesn't wanna feel like a princess?! 

I also obtained (see how I'm using synonyms of buy, I have such good vocabulary) 3 pins for $5 -- one of Morticia Addams, one of Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) from Beetlejuice, and one of Tai (Brittany Murphy) from Clueless when she says "You're a virgin who can't drive." 

~Feel the sass~ 

The artist draws and makes the pins himself and he helped me pick which ones to take because there were so many and I am very indecisive!
I also got light blue/green nail polish from H&M for $1.
I've gotten nail polish from H&M before and so far it's worked really well, especially considering how cheap it is! 

Our second day of spring break, my friends and I had a girls day and went shopping (of course). We had a blast (woot woot) and one of my friends and I bought matching shoes from Forever 21 because we're adorkable.  
They kind of remind me of doc martens but 1) with a heel, 2) slimmer and 3) much more feminine. I also love the chunky heel. They're so comfy because while they're high, it's mostly because of the platform so the heel basically feels flat.
Plus, they remind me of one of my favourite blogger's style: Hannah from Daisies & Doc Martens!

I also bought a new bathing suit from American Apparel with a gift card from Christmas.
I love the pattern and how pale the colours are. I also really like the shape/cut. Plus, I really needed a bathing suit and had been eyeing this one for a while.

Last but not least, I bought this blue oversized flannel shirt and a grey crop top from H&M.
The flannel shirt is super soft and it's warm without being too warm, so I can wear it as either a shirt, cardigan-type-thing or even a dress with leggins and a belt.
The crop top is made of stretchy material and is also really comfortable.

Have you bought anything lately? What kind of things do you like to buy? 
This was my first haul post, what did you think? Should I do more?
