Miley 3.0

Miley Cyrus has gone through quite the transition in the past few years. Starting with her sweet southern girl look on Disney, to the awkward growing-up-and-people-judging-her phase with her leather outfits and crop tops and her fair share of controversies. Now she's the cool hipster/glam/street styled girl with her blonde boy-ish hair cut.
During this time her music has changed quite a bit too and she's releasing her new album soon and on June 3rd, she released her single "We Can't Stop" and I'm absolutely obsessed. It's been on repeat ever since it came out. The perfect party song, I think it might become the 'summer song' this year!

Crush: High-Waisted Denim Shorts

I'm sure you've all noticed that high-waisted pants/shorts are very popular now, especially denim shorts. What I love about them is that they're so versatile and they can make your waist look teeny-tiny and your legs a mile long. You'd think since they're so on trend now they would be everywhere, but no, I can't find them. And if I do, they're usually a cheap, stretchy material or were studded, ripped, paint-splattered. It is so hard to find a nice, good-quality, classic pair of high-waisted denim shorts? 
That's what I thought. 
Until now. 

Janine showed me these shorts and my, oh, my, am I in love. We're both obsessing over these.

Now I gotta save up to buy, no invest, in these bad boys!

Polyvore!




I know I'm terribly behind on Polyvore. I always thought it was kinda cool but kinda pointless.... but I have had a complete change of heart about it, I love it! It's super easy to use and has such cool features, for example, every photo you use, it tells you where to buy it from! There's also a lot of creative/artistic freedom, you can customize templates, or just start on a blank page, there's a bunch of fun fonts and the search tool is very, very useful. It finds exactly what you want. It's also kinda like a community too, people follow you and 'like' your stuff. Most people use it for fashion but I've seen some really sick design and street art collages.

I originally decided to finally join the Polyvore community for a school project. I'm using it to create collages about prominent fashion decades, leading up into the present and the evolution of fashion. Pretty cool, eh? If you want you can check out my polyvore, my polyvore account, my profile on polyvore(?)

I'll be adding a bunch more collages/sets/pictures soon!

(Is Polyvore starting to sound weird to you too?)

The Royal Ontario Museum

During the week I went to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. It is supposedly one of the best I've heard and it definitely met my expectations, it was huge and like a maze. I had to ask the same security guard where the main stairs were one to many times. It was loads of fun, especially since I'm such a history nerd. I took a few photos of my favourite exhibits (like the Haute Couture section.... *sigh*) check it out! 
(I'm sorry the photos aren't the greatest I had to use my phone because it was hard to lug around my big camera)
