sneek into your house tonight.

So basically, A)i'm back, B)the hockey playoffs sucked, and C)i was correct, i did get new clothes.

I wasn't supposed to, because we're kinda low on money at the moment, damn recession. But, i left school early on friday morning/afternoon for a 3pm game(Its a 3 or so hour drive), and my family didn't leave home till...6pm-ish? Thus, not arriving at the hotel till 8/9 pm. As soon as they arrived my mother called me up in a friend's hotel room, to explain that we were going shopping. On account of her forgetting all of my things.

Thank god for walmart.

For a whopping total of approximately $133.00 we were able to buy...

1 vintage looking coat, which makes me feel like a french revolution girl

1 pair of skinny jeans, which are a tad too big, but in the good way

1 white Tshirt, but its kinda frilly, and girlie looking

4 pairs of uber cute undies

1 red bra

1 tube of toothpaste(Kiss Me Mint), which just happens to taste like cough syrup

and, while i was brushing, i was thinking to myself

"Wow, i dont think anyones going to want to kiss me after this"

2 deodorants (strawberry, and some vanilla stuff, tres yummy!)

6? pairs of socks(But they came in a package)

and...well a bunch of other stuff, but i dont exactly remember what,

my apologies!

Pictures will honestly be posted this time, i promise!

...I'm just not sure how long it will take. I still havn't been able to put last pictures up. :(

Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by. Your time has come to shine.

What a horrible blogger am i? I mean to come on here more often, really i do. Though, turns out the batteries i horded for the camera, weren't exactly fully charged, thus they are now dead. I'm quite disappointed about this actually, Tuesday was the highlight of my week fashion wise, helloooo 40's nurse! I would promise to get them on after school today (At the moment i am in the school library, waiting for my ride), but i have a hockey tournament. Road trip! Jessica, Kelsey and I are all heading up for the 3/4 hour drive to Port Alberni. So, alas, there will be nothing new till next week.

The past week has been so hectic! I've been hanging out with old friends, and new friends, and some old friends that are just becoming better. Although sadly, old good friends are no longer so. High school is so complicated! I remember the days of elementary school, and even middle school when all i wanted was to get here, and to grow up. Not that i'm complaining about this time and age, but i just expected this to be less... grown up, or maybe more grown up even. The drama, is tres ridiculous

You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me, They say that they don't see what you see in me.

So basically..... EMILY IS BACK!

She hopped up and went to Greece for spring break, and came back with this A-mazing shirt, for moi! It makes me feel like an old candy stripes girl, meets 40's nurse... well with what I'm wearing it with on Tuesday it does. Pictures shall be posted! She got back Saturday morning around one am, and today she came over, but first had to come chill for the remainder of my hockey practice. When she first got there Jessica and i skated over to the board at full speed, and started screaming. That's right, screaming for Emily. She just laughed at us. It was quite the joyous event. For those who don't know, Emily is my favourite ginger of all time. She makes the best lesbian jokes, and i make the best ginger jokes, and whenever Zalina is around, we make the best black jokes.

Also, on Saturday i decided to make a quick stop in Sally Ann, and i found myself this cute little phone in the most gorgeous shade of teal possible, that silk scarf that isn't so visible on my head, and a light cream barret. Funny thing about that "cute little" phone, is it's not so little, i hadn't noticed that until i had to switch phones mid phone call, it was a funny feeling. Its actually quite...large, haha.

Moi, ft. my new phone.Emily ft. my new phone.
And here is the oh so fabulous shirt from Emily in action. With the famous jumper, and my lovely red trench, from Costa Blanka a couple years back. When i first got this bad boy, i surprisingly didn't wear it all that much, then for almost a year it was hidden in the back of my closet collecting dust. Just this year...well last November i believe it was taken out once again.

That's right, i also have one of these necklaces...well actually i have two, but the other is black, and has more a little girl's silhouette.
Emily has a trench too! Her's is white, and from Greece!

well isn't she just darling?

So, i've found the best, and newest way of continuing my life perfectly...(Drum roll please)photos! I have been going camera crazy lately, its lovely! Here's today's outfit, and a cute little profile picture...well almost, on the side. The vest, woo, now lets talk about that for uno momento shall we? I have been looking for a cute boy vest for well...basically ever, back in December i found one, but it didn't look...right. This one, is navy blue, with pinstripes on the front, and navy silk on the back, yours truly found this lovely things for a whopping $6.29 at Salvation Army yesterday, literally moments after the hair cut. Yesterday was a good day! Jeans are American Eagle-*GASP*-I know right? Just in case this is unknown for most, which it likely is, for the past...well year or so, i've had such a detest for American eagle, but i found these old baggy jeans in the back of my closet today, and i couldn't resist. Plaid shirt is Stitches - what's this? Something she's actually bought that isn't pre-owned? Shocker eh? Lastly the scarf is Walmart, the department store to end all department stores.

BTW, i apologize for the mess in my room, in case no one has noticed yet, i'm not good for cleanliness. If someone hadn't noticed this already, then someone needs to get their eyes checked! ;)

WAIT, i also just got a new laundry hamper! Now, i do now that has little, or nothing to do with fashion, but it is in the photo, and i would just like to show it off. See that checkered box in the corner? Now mine for only $29.99 from Winner's! That little box may just save my life, my previous laundry basket, was pretty much Tupperware.

Okay, now this is the last little segment, i promise! See that little girl in the corner of the last photo? The one holding enough balloons to potentially lift her up and carry her away? Well, that's me! Happy 5th(?) sweetie! I was such a cute little girl, wait! No, i'm still cute, right? Right?!

technology will be the end of us all.

Alright, well remember a week or so ago when i was putting up a weeks worth of pictures, when my camera went and died?Well problem solved! I went on a rampage earlier today(Which was really yesterday because its past 12am) in search of batteries, and lucky me, i found em! So, from my computer, to yours, here are that week's daily outfits!
Now, remember when even longer back, a month or so actually, when i bought that blue coat from Gap, the white blazer, and the black with white polka-dot dress? The dress with the pictures that i was unable to take? See, now you know what i'm getting at eh? True Canadian BTW, with my eh and everything.
Any who, i've finally taken the photos of that dress, worn by Lisa, my mannequin. That's right! I finally got her, no less than 2 months late, but shes still here!(Lisa was supposed to be my birthday present, which was in early January, but we got her off EBay, so lots of complications) Also, i named her Lisa, all by myself, so no she did not come pre-named like Cabbage Patch Kids. (Mine is name Elizabeth, IS, not WAS, because i still have her) So here is the dress, as seen on Lisa, and here is the bow! So yes, i am obviously quite, very excited about being able to use a camera once again.

ALSO.Excuse the fact that my hair is much shorter than it was a couple weeks ago, but-i got my hair cut today! Doesn't it look simply fabulous? Wow, i'm so glad i was finally able to get those pictures up, Hannah, i promise to bring your shirt back ASAP!

If I was five, I would have been pinched today.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Dare to wear the foolish clown face.

From the original clown appearance in 1805, by Joseph Grimalidi, also know as Joey, to the runway so many years later, one thing is for sure-boy has the clown look evolved! When Joseph, or Joey was performing his tricks on England's streets, i'm sure he wasn't thinking about the fashion he could create in two-hundred odd years.

THE CLOWN.Fashion has always been a circus, literally. Mind you, banish the thoughts of over the done make up on men, red noses, and one piece button up suits. Though, keep in mind the gorgeous bright colours shoes, frilly skirts, and don't forget to play up the bright red lipstick, though, stay in the lines, mind you. Now is the time to play up the designs from the Commes des Garcons S/S 08, and experiment with the colours and proportions.

THE HARLEQUIN. Always the brightest of the middle ages, and back again bigger, brighter and shinier. Though, the oh-so famous cap 'n' bell hat i'm sure, is going to stay back in the middle ages. There's more to it than the rainbow triangles here, though that is still my main focus. I'm absolutely loving the diversity in colour and shape, the largest triangles at her shoulders, and the smallest at the end of the garment. Also, giving the model a more natural look with her makeup looks truly fabulous, especially with the bright red lipstick, there is no way to ever go wrong with a pop of red! This design is from the Miu Miu S/S 08 show, bravo!
I've had this clown for as long as i can remember, so a minimum of 11 years, possibly longer. I'm pretty sure that i got him from my Nana way back when. He sits up on top of my computer now, scaring all my clown-a-phobia friends(Coulrophobia). He doesn't have a name yet though, any suggestions?
This is my newest little clown added to the now large number of two clown items. I bought her at Salvation Army today, for a whopping price of 49 cents! I've decided to name her Lucy. "Lucy in the sky, with diamonds", sorry, i watched Across the Universe, and Chapter 27 yesterday, so there's a bit of a Beatles theme going through my mind at the moment. Lucy will also spend her days perched up on my computer moniter.

"I am not a sad clown. I am not a sad clown."

Spring Break 09 Baby.

Again, with the horrible blogging, and again, i am so sorry! The whole, no working camera available thing has really screwed me over. See, i do have a camera, but the charger has been missing since November '08, and my mother's camera(That's right, i have stooped so low) uses batteries, which died. So, thus no pictures, which means no pictures to write about. So i'm sure you see my dilemma.

Anyways, its spring break, which should mean beaches and bikinis, or well...considering its Canada, at least pools and bikinis. Okay, well i suppose we could go to the pool, if it would stop snowing for a day. That's right. It's been snowing. It started last Tuesday i believed, and was the major dump then, it was on and off for a while, then we looked outside, and there was a minimum of 6 inches on the school field. Really now, its not that easy to look amazing in winter gear, many designers have failed, and some have succeeded. Mind you, most designers choose to use fur, which automatically ruins the design.

Example 1 of an outfit that would be bad, with or without the fur.This is from the London Fashion Week 2008-2009, designed by Julian McDonald. I honestly don't know what he was thinking. The hood, is...well it would look descent with the bow, i am a fan for bows. But it is a teeny bit too big. The gloves are either a leather, or some..shiny material of some sort, which i really don't enjoy. Lastly the fur...well i don't think i really need to say anything of the fur, but i will just because i'm already on a rant. Its neon orange fur, neon! It strangely Oompa-Loompa meets Hephalump from Winnie the Pooh.

Alex Chung on the right and... uh...friend. That's right, i really have no idea who is with her, i'm thinking Kelly Osborn, but not sure. You all will have no idea how long i spent googling and searching to find out with her, but no site, blog or anything mentions the other gorgeous girl there with her, so add this the the list. I'm loving the way Alex has put this vintage blazer over a beautiful dress to give it a more vintage feel. And yet, it doesn't ruin the elegance. Also loving her gal pal's black (velvet?) dress, with the crinoline around the neck, and at the bottom of the dress creating the frills. This photograph is from the London Fashion Week '08-'09, at the Luella Catwalk Show.

SC3NE.

Lets face it, some people can work it, and some can't, an example of someone who can't, would be me. That's right, little vintage girl had her scene phase, as has everyone else on the face of the planet right now. My inspiration for this post is the following image...well i wouldn't exactly say inspiration, but the reason for this topic. As in Hot Topic(Ha. Get it?)A new girl came to our little community school late last week, Ana, she has a scene style, as does her brother, Joe. Although Joe started coming to our school at the beginning of the school year, and has been dating Marissa from day one. Joe has also had this image as his MSN display picture for quite some time, but i just saw what the image was on Nexopia earlier today. This picture reminded me of little Ana because she possibly has the teeniest legs, ever, and is always seen with her hot pink, high top, Converse. A few of my fabulous scene friends would be Marissa, William, Kaitlyn, and Simone, their photo's are the following.

Marissa. EyeHeartYou.x on http://www.nexopia.com/

William.

Now, William is literally the only scene boy in our school, automatically giving him his own fan club. Not literally, but there are the number of scene girls who are are all madly in love with him. Sorry girlies, but we're about to lose the only and only scene boy you have to fantasize over!

Shaelee.(As seen in her scene kid days.) [Rouge*- on http://www.nexopia.com/

Kaitlyn.(BFFL) DISASTER[x]ZONE on http://www.nexopia.com/

Kate's not exactly scene, but she has her own...scene meets Kate style, which i absolutely love. Marissa is, and most definitely, scene, although her hair no longer has coon tails, its just plain black, though, does have a blue-ish tinge. Kaitlyn also no longer straightens her hair, at least not often, on of the account of it being much to difficult to maintain. Kate, like moi, has very curly hair.

Now, meet Simone, one of my very good friends...well she once was pretty close, but then she hopped up and moved to Saskatchewan. Simone definitely is not scene, but she has her own style, which is close to. Her hair colour changes often, which according to some How To sites, is one way to begin your scene kid lifestyle. Facial piercings are also a must, and Simone also has that, and at one point, had a bright pink tutu, which i quote "frilly tutus always look cute on girls".

Simone. [L]RawR? on http://www.nexopia.com/

And when she had blue hair, quite some time back.

Scene is about being different, and not blending in with the crowd, or following it, so basically just being yourself. Which obviously isn't the case anymore. There are hundreds, probably thousands of sites on How To Be Scene. Some of which will be posted at the bottom of this post, so, if being scene and having this particular style, is about being yourself, then why exactly are there oh so many sites on how to do it properly? Again with the oxymoron's, there seem to be too oh so many of those these days. Now, i'm am not saying being scene is bad, that is definitely not the case, though it does seem to be a bit too big of a thing these days.

DAILY TEACHINGS
Day 9

Well, obviously, i have been quite the Negative Nelly lately, so today i got something which will definitely help. I am positive of this because i am in such a fabulous at the moment, and its lovely. Today i bought "The Secret Daily Teachings" at Costco, and it was possibly the best $17.50 Can. I've ever spent. For those, and possibly most of you that haven't heard of The Secret, and thus have no idea what i'm talking about, it is basically about the key things to a happy, and healthy lifestyle. So... think happy thoughts, and happy things will happen, but if you thinks bad things, then bad things will happen. Although, these thoughts can't just be for yourself, they have to be about everyone else too, so if you want to be healthy, want everyone to be healthy. Think about it, if about 6 billion people were wanting good things to happen to you, then that would be pretty damn good. We already have the movie, and the book, and i figured it was time to get up and running again, so now I have the Daily Teachings. Yippee for me! And thus begins a new chapter in my life. Also, by the way, The Secret homepage link is at the bottom of this post if anyone is bored enough to check it out. :)

Happily yours, Shaelee.

Don't let someone become a priority in your life, if your just an option in theirs.

I believe that i am starting to become more comfortable with myself. I used to embrace in bright reds, purples, and the odd yellow here and there. I was disgusted with the fact of blending into the crowd, although, now i look into my closet and am happily pleased with the grays, teals, and navy's. Call it boring if you will, but i'm hoping that this is a bit of a growing up life lesson. I don't need to be the center of excitement, or even part of it, that's much too stressful, and time consuming. Hopefully this is a sign of things getting better, and less...stressful. Although, i'm sure the new and upcoming counseling is just a bit of an irony hit

maggie and milly and molly and may .

By e.e. cummings
maggie and milly and molly and may

went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
milly befriended a stranded star

whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles; and
may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find in the sea

she spun too fast, she fell too hard, and finally, she hit the ground.

I apologize for the fact that nothing new has come up all week. I haven't been in...well the best of moods, and had a pretty bad week, so i tried to keep myself occupied with some happy people. I recently noticed that i HATED seeing people's relationships, because it reminded me of how mine seemed to be going down hill. Later than day irony hit. Hard. Anyways, onto a happier subject, i suppose that i should show what I've worn this week, the cute things anyways. I've stopped wearing makeup, for the moment at least. Funny how it looks like i have intense mascara/eyeshadow in the 2 pictures posted up at the bottom of this post.

Monday i wore the gray jumper shorts with Hannah's yellow frilly blouse. Merci, tellement! If it weren't for the irony, that could have been the best day of my week. I also wore the black tights that were also from Salvation Army, for 99 cents, and black boots. On Tuesday i wore a black shirt that i found at Winner's quite some time back with a lace back. To complete this ensemble i wore one of the newest numbers added to my collection, the scarf from Salvation Army, that was shown in my previous post. Also black boots, black skinnys, and 2 black coats. If you couldn't already tell, i was in a truly horrid mood.
Wednesday i thought that i looked pretty cute, and possibly, the few people that actually did see me might have agreed. I wore my black/gray plaid school girl skirt, complements of Wal-Mart, lace tights, and a silver halter. I left shortly after first block, thank you bad mood! Spent most of the rest of the day in bed watching Tarzan, it was helping up until the cute sappy moments, although those weren't too bad. Later on got a hold of Emily, i like her, shes nice. I threw a fountain drink coke at her head in subway. I missed. It went flying in the air, and exploded on the ground. We laughed for 20 minutes, i think it was worth losing my drink.
Today's outfit wasn't all that cute, but considering I'm already wearing it, and I'm already going to be taking pictures i might as well put today's up. So, scratch what i said in the first paragraph, about only posting the cute things of the week, because there is nothing to do in this little town of mine, and i am unbelievably bored. Thus, i will post every piece from Monday, to now. Minus Thursday, because i don't remember what i was wearing exactly... it was a pro-d day, so no school!
What a happy camper eh?

ALRIGHT. Well, scratch that idea, once again. As i was taking today's pictures, my camera died, and we don't have any more batteries, so i will try to get the pictures up as soon as possible. They might have to be web cam, or camera phone pictures, so i truly do apologize for that.

love should last a life, or atleast a year, but it lasts a week.

Well, indeed i did look very cute and vintage yesterday. I would have taken a photo, but i wasn't in the er...best of moods. My girlfriend and I broke up. moments like this i'm glad there are only a handful of people reading this. Otherwise i would be receiving a large amount of pity comments, which i don't want. So to the few of you, please, do not give me any.

Anywh0, I wore the jumper shorts, i looked tres adorible.

The best thing about being here, is knowing that this is where you are.

I love my friends, we're dorky, but stylish.
I love my friends, we're fashionistas, but with brain.
I love my friends, we're smart, yet know how to have a good time.

I do feel a bit bad for all the Vic High Girls, being outshone on their own prom by two girls from a hick town.
-Hannah

darling little girl, where oh where did you go?

Hit the Salvation Army in the next town over, i was not disappointed once again. While mumsy dearest was off getting her hair cut- for about 3 hours, fiew!- I on the other hand, hit some used clothes shops. First shop i stopped at was okay, found some cute purses, allot of cute lacy things, but of course, nothing fit.

Went to the Salvation Army down the street at full throttle, literally, and at first wasn't too pleased, there were allot of of clothes, but nothing vintage. There was a 'Collectibles' wall at the back that i pretty much knocked little children over to get too. I immediately saw this old white glass milk carton for $1.29, and had to have it, so now its holding some roses for me. :]

As you can likely tell my desk is quite cluttered, i had to rearrange everything around have it looking at least this tidy.Personally i'm a fan of dead roses, these were bright red when Tia gave them to me on Valentine's Day, but the couple of weeks in between then, and now, has caused them to go suicide in the vase of water i previously had them in.

There were also a couple adorable porcelain dolls on the wall also, and one of them that i adored with reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, but without the scary cat. She was wearing a blue...plaid i believe it was, dress, with the same shade of eyes, and blond curls. She was only about $4.50, and i probably would have gotten her to add to my collection of 3, but sadly there's no room left on my dresser.
I was doing my last round through pretty quickly looking through the skirts and shorts, when i found it. I know how cliche that sounds, like in romance novels, and the author will say something about how the boy is walking through town when... Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. Boy lives happily ever after. But, i'm madly in love with this...jumper/shorts. I'm not exactly sure what to call it. I was originally thinking jumper, but when googled, nothing like this comes up.

Excuse me for this horrid pose, and the fact that i'm wearing fuzzy socks. I do apologize, really. I plan on wearing this ensemble tomorrow, but with the black leggings i got for 99cents, black boots, and a yellow blouse that i will be borrowing from Hannah. The belt on these shorts is so cute, and the buttons are possibly what caused me to fall in love with this.

Front buttons.

Back buttons.

Belt Buckle.

The Actual Short Leg.

The back buttons are actually quite use full. I didn't realise until this afternoon that the second button can be used to make the straps a bit shorter, which in my case is quite useful, as the straps being the only things that don't exactly fit. This number was about $4.

Alright, last little bit here. As i was waiting in the till line up, which was surprisingly long, i was standing next to this scarf rack for quite a while, and at some point these too little girls came up and were checking out the scarfs. I didn't intend to hear every word of their conversation, but i apologise because i did. The conversation doesn't really matter, but as i glanced over i saw this beauty. It was about a dollar, so i couldn't resist. I may wear this with my new obtained jumper.
