a little bit of this (and that)

I usually go hang out at Sweet Avenue once a week to visit Emily and take a peek around. But I'm often either so exhausted I never shop or I'm just in a rush to do something else! Today when I was leaving I saw a tunic that turned out to suck, and this jacket! It's cropped. Faux Herringbone. Black and Grey. Asymetrical? and $8? Sweet.

Last night Stewart and I got to cuddle and watch DRIVE. OMG. Loved it. Loved the music. Love Ryan Gosling. So violent and epic. I was kind of surprised.


Tonight I have roller derby. This month I'm 17 times on skates. Did I say that already? It's a little crazy. I'm looking forward to it though. My strides are getting stronger (!!) but my lungs still need to catch up. Hurting my knee three weeks ago really set me back cardio wise.

I've been doing an ab workout too, to support my back while I'm skating. Here it is if you're adventurous!!!
10 leg drops 
20 cross crunches (10 PER SIDE)
10 low leg scissors  (Your legs should be straight and about 4-6 inches off the ground, same motion as the video and open you legs as wide as you can, also called the HELLO DOLLY)
20 supermans (10 PER SIDE)

REPEAT FIVE TIMES!!! (I listen to Derby Deeds or Childish Gambino while I do it). XO

fashion week!

i blame getting my hands on my grandma's old clothes, and the re-inspiration to start putting outfits together, but in the last few weeks i've been revisiting my love of clothes and sewing and fashion. it's not like it has ever gone away, it's just re-kindled? re- re- re- re- re-! here's some of my favourites!

marc jacobs. i think i'm going to try and make myself that skirt or similar, but shorter. oooh, and polka dot tights! need.

i love this sweater from badgley mischka.  i might try and reconstruct it using plastic/acrylic yarn and massive sequins....

OMG sweater. (Rodarte)

love this super open black hoodie (and all the black) - RAD by Rad Hourani

I love this dress from Zero + Maria Cornejo. i might rework it into a tunic t-shirt.

and like always i die for betsey johnson (though i'm still waiting for marc by mj and proenza schouler).
