my heart keeps beating like a hammer

H&M is my fasion saviour! Since I have been saving up for University, my clothing budget has dropped dramatically. However, these are my new favourite pants and they were only $35!! I love linen pants because they are such a comfy, light alternative to denim and heavier cotton pants. I wanted to keep this look light and simple so I matched my pants with my tan Club Monaco shirt and striped Steve Madden sneakers (which are my summertime casual favourites). I hope everyone like it :)

I know you're someone elses...

Contrast is something I focus on, as many of my previous posts have suggested. For this look, I wanted to contrast myself from the bright, spring world around me. I decided that a simple black cardigan, v-neck, and jean shorts complimented with my Syrian scarf would do just that. In comparison to the bring pinks, greens, and whites around me, I like how much the black really stands out in the pictures. This title of my look comes from the song I Love You by Alex Clare and it's definitely worth a listen. He has such a mezmorising voice and this song just melts me.

summers in the air and heavens in your eyes

Sorry it took so long for me to post, I woke up late and then got called into work this afternoon. Anyways, this is one of my favourite outfit's right now because I'm very much in love with pastel colours this spring. I tried to create an American theme through the use of red, white, and blue. The title for my look actually comes from the song National Anthem by Lana del Rey and the line before my title is "red, white, blue is in the sky" so I wanted to allude to the colour scheme of my look. Enjoy!! Don't forget to follow me on twitter: www.twitter.com/doerksend113

so close to something better left unknown

Again, I'm so sorry for not poasting for a while! I promise to get back in the happit of it now that school is wrapping up and the weather is nicer. So this is one of my favourite looks ever! I love how it looks very African Savana-ish and warm. Just like cranberry was my favourite colour for winter, sand is my favourite colour for spring/summer. I love it because it can be paired with similar colours (like here) and yet it doesnt look too boring. As well, it can also be paired with brighter colours (like my next look) and it makes them stand out even more. I hope everyone likes my look :)

PS I'm moving to Vancouver next September for school!!!

Bushmills

 

So, I'm still adjusting to life back in Calgary even though I've been home for a week now. I just love Ireland so much, I'd love to go to Queens University in Belfast or Trinity College in Dublin for an exchange. I also live the style of Ireland; it's far superior to Calgary.

My pictures from the top are: Church gates in Belfast, a pier in Carrickfergus, a view of the north coast of Ireland, the Giant's Causeway (4), me at the Giant's Causeway, and me outside the Bishmills Distillery.

you fit me better than my favourite sweater

So I would just like to apologise for not posting sooner for this look. I've been so busy the past few days trying to catch up with everything since I got back from Ireland. I also have exciting news! Not only have I been accepted to Ryerson University in Toronto for Psychology, I just found out today that I have been accepted to Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Now the decisions start. As well, just to let everyone know, I have edited a few pictures from my trip so far and I'll post them either tomorrow or Saturday when I post my latest look.

Anyways, so this look is composed of all new articles I bought in Belfast and Manchester. I had my first Topman experience in Belfast, and honestly, it did not live up to the hype for me. Plus none of their pants fit me; all too short. But I did manage to find a nice black blazer for my graduation that fits me way better than any I've tried in Canada.
What I really like about this look is how light my shorts and shirt are. It made me feel like it was finally spring to wear this outfit and not be cold. I really like the length of my cardigan with my shorts as well. 

Ireland

Hey everyone! First of all, sorry for not posting lately; I've been super busy with work, dance, and school the past few weeks leading up to today when I leave for Ireland!! I'm going to compete in the World Irish Dance Championships in Belfast and I promise to post my look I wore overseas and picture from my trip once I get back next Saturday! These are just a few pictures from my trip last year to Killarney and London!
