The reason for my two week absence from blogging was because...
...I was whisked away to Paris Fashion Week, where I stayed in a hotel amidst a whirlwind of designers, one of whom asked me to be his latest muse. When I was finally left alone to sight see, on my way back from being enticed by the highly revered Eiffel Tower, I was struck with approximately 700 volts of electricity via a terrible lightening storm that struck most of Europe. I was rushed to an exotic french hospital, which, to my amusement, was located beside France's largest brothel. In my fragile state, I was able to witness a whole new level of, err, camaraderie. After my quick and miraculous recovery (all the french news stations aired my story), I spent the rest of the week hanging out with some indigenous people, who made a living selling hand-crafted clay bead necklaces. Then I came home and went to school and stuff.

GREAT outfits! love how u matched it with your headscarf!
especially love the shiny thrifted blazer :)
love your monochromatic looks!!
UROOBA YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I like how you matched everything! And everything wasn't over $20, which I love. Because, guess what, I love to buy inexpensive -- NOT CHEAP, /inexpensive/ -- stuffs as well.
I haven't been to the Salvation Army down in New West... since I live all the way over in LANGLEY.
Hey, neighbor. Surrey is baaaad. Guns. jkjk :D haha. Langley is the one with the shootings all the time. :P
It's so nice to read about someone who lives so close! I feel... like I can relate to you!!!!!!!!!

... flats for $3 at Joe?! The last time I checked, even the one on clearance were $10+. I never get any deals :(
Also, I love the green and blue looks! Absolutely stunning! Gosh, you need to put up the yellow too. Just recreate it ;)

Okay. This is SOOO WEIRD, but when I was reading your story I was like "WOOOAHHHH. Sounds familiar."
This was totally my life 2 years ago. Now I'm happily residing in Paris as Lagerfield's muse. It's alright.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
