The cloudy skies had me again. I thought it might pour thus the cardigan. Well it’s my favourite thing to wear lately anyway so who i am kidding needing an excuse! I say “channeling Sarah” because the image of her and her infamous bow is forever stored away somewhere in my head.
These are from Zipia, they’re my favourite for tights&such. It being two-toned made me feel a little kooky. And i pretty much walk around in these boots, i’m tired of my other shoes for the time being. Took a walk downtown tonight and checked out the Christmas lights while at it. Lacking carols i must say, to get into the mood. We plan on buying a 5′ tree and not hang any ornaments so the cats won’t have their fun! We’ll see, Paragon has veryveryvery delightful ornaments this time, check out the Peacock Fantasy one if you’re there. One peacock for $13.90 is so unfriendly. So my tree can only have one then.
After uploading this photo onto Flickr, I realise how sullen i look here. I’m usually able to use a cheerier one but none of the eleven shots looked ‘happyshinyperson’. Maybe it’s the indoor lighting. Maybe it’s the weather.
Cardigan & boots are vintage from ebay, dress from Beacon’s Closet, tights from Zipia and bag from Mulberry.
Camera Obscura played and i had such a good time bobbing to the music. This was what i wore – the dress is vintage and is a gift, boots are vintage via ebay.
After the show, we decided to go get autographs because they’re really sucha cute bunch of people. We were last in line and so our prerogative was to ask for a group photo with the band.
Which we got! So yay, gots to be the highlight of the night. Plus the pianist passed me their setlist they played two nights ago (in Taiwan i’m guessing?) so i’ll take a photo of that and show it in the week’s roundup. Imma gonna find a frame and frame it up! I know it’s just a rotten piece of paper but it sure felt like gold in my hands last night.
And photos were taken by my lovely friend, Caili.

1. Nogoodforme’s “Beautifully Worn”
Laura Jane of nogoodforme was very nice to extend the invite to me to send in a photo of me and my most favourite item. In the photo above, you can try and spot me. Haha can you? I’m there on the top right!
The exhibition is held at Clarabella in my favourite city in the world. If you’re in the city, pop by 279 E. Houston St., it runs till the end of November. And you can see more photos of the exhibit here, and if you’d like to see my photo in a larger version, it’s here.
