LA VIBES AT BRANDY MELVILLE

 Topshop Joni Jeans//Brandy Melville T//Aldo Sunglasses//Converse High Tops

Had another mooch about the shops in Vancouver on Tuesday and my cousin took me to this cute little store called Brandy Melville, I say little but apparently not- a quick glance at the Instagram and 90,000+ Facebook likes tells me this store is a pretty big deal this side of the pond. Have any of my British followers heard of it before? Anyway, its pretty cool and I fell in love with all of their super soft slogan tees. I decided to treat myself to the top above as it was only $18. Now I know what you're thinking, 'why the fuck did she buy it in baby size??' well no actually a lot of the tees come in one size only which I guess says a lot about the customer demographic (young/skinny?) I'm off to Vegas next week for a few days and thought this would look cool over a bikini, but for the sake of an outfit post I tried it on with my high waisted Joni jeans from Topshop and it just about borderlines appropriate for a 25 year old.

A belated Happy New Year to all my readers, I hope everyone had an amazing festive period. I was lucky enough to receive a brand new camera so I am happy to say that I will be returning to regular blogging activities again, fuck yeah. For my first post back I am sharing some of my photos from my recent trip to New York with my girlfriends and also some added Canadian dudes I met in Vegas who added to the craziness of this trip about tenfold! 

Photo heavy so I've linked to a new page

Once again, its great to be back and I appreciate all my regular followers for sticking with me, hope everyone is excited for 2013, I know I am.
