saturday morning light



new shorts + old boots, perfect match. so happy it's saturday and i'm off work... just want to spend the day reading, scrap booking, sewing and watching skins or gilmore girls on repeat.
also trying to set up true north thrift but i don't know if i should make it an etsy or ebay store
or if i should just set it up as a blog like the trend has been lately? i don't even know if have enough readers to do that. i only have 40 followers.... hmmm decisions to make, any suggestions?

everything is perfect.


i know i said the next post would be an outfit shot but when i saw these on lovers in vain i had to repost. everything about these picks i love. the location, the clothing, the styling, the hair and make up. it's what i would look like, wear and live if everything was perfect. of course zippora adds to the beauty of it all too. check out lovers in vain for more great inspiration.

hot pink



i love these bright colour beauty spreads. especially nice on a girl with a face like erin.

what gorgeous freckles, no? reminds me of eating pink popsicles on a hot day.

got the giggles


as much as pink by vs reminds me of college girls in butt advertising sweatpants, 
i love their bras and boyfriend fit trackies (minus the butt ads). 
this top pretty cute too.

you know when you want something so bad you almost feel this panic inside, like maybe you won't be able to get it..... i must have these from the marc by marc jacobs fall collection. not only are they gorgeous but they match my tattoo as well. the med. sized sasha in black, the small sookie in drk brown and the smaller flap pouchette in navy are my favourites. the large evie and large clutch, both in tan, round out the collection. i think i will invest in two of these depending on price and how they look in person. the sasha is tearing my heart apart, total ♥ i adore the dusty brown and navy colours of the smaller bags too. what do you think?

hunting s e a son



i'm absolutely loving these vintage boots. they're comfy, great with skirts and denim and they are one of my favourite colours, hunter green. they really play well with the darker floral pattern of this new urban skirt. it's their take on the infamous american apparel pocket skirt. the material of this one's a little thicker, slinkier and longer so it drapes really well. but the best part of the outfit has to be my bullet crystal necklace by the lovely molly of rackk and ruin. one of my favourite things at the moment. it's a definite conversation piece and it adds beauty, edge and a little fantasy to any look. check out her etsy store for more great pieces.

burn burn burn

clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose



four things:
  1. i love her blue suede fringe coat, her thin armed sunnies, the way her belt's tied and the roominess of her boots.
  2. i have no idea where i got this image. i'm usually really good about giving credit for sources and remembering where i get things but this picture is a mystery. i know it's from a blog i follow so if you recognize it as yours drop me a comment so i can give you the props!
  3. i had my first motorcycle ride today! thanks dave and thanks for driving really slow, lol.
  4. friday night lights season three, amazing. watch it.
