The LBD store on main summer clearance sale

my purchase, C Lace top from LBD store

bling it up with my handmade brooch

Today, my neighborhood, main street was blocked for one of the street fairs again. I just LOVE it when that happens. The idea of being able to roam, chalk, salsa or just sit in the middle of the street is just liberating. One of the best things is that the vendor on main will take advantage of having a sale; I was lucky to score this C Lace one shoulder top from the LBD store for $10 bucks. What also caught my eyes was this pair of funky sandal; it is very comfortable but damn it! damn it!  it was sold out in my size. I want someone to have it so I took a picture for all my friends for the remaining sizes (6/7/7.5/8). People! run out now to get it and enjoy it for what's left of Vancouver summer.

$10

Trends you love to hate

I embrace a lot of trend
1. Flower & Stripes trend:
I love colour, patterns, prints and it probably would not seem fair that I sourced out the worst example of clashing patters here to demonstrate how easily you would seem obnoxious and look like a fresh roadkill.
if stripe is done with a bolder patterned flower print, it look uber chic tho.

2. Leggings and a denim mini skirt:
ok now, another trend that I did not like the first time in 2006 but it seemed to be lingering like a bad case of flu. If you are older than 8 and are not Hannah Montana fans, please please do not pari legging and denim together. The deadly combo is the finest of frenemies. You know that old saying, "Take one  before you leave the house", it should be the legging in this case. Ew. EWW. EWWW. Seriously, you do the math!

3. Jegging:

It is gross like Cheetos; I don't get comprehend it like I don't get 'That's what she said' joke. I have seen it everywhere and it has been described as HOT items.  It is this weird hybrid of super tight jeans and legging. This new denimology bugs me, for reals. So TopShop began in late 2009 by calling them knitted jeans, Urban Outfitters went with the 'pull on jean', but Asos.com came up with the jegging. So, Asos is to blame. I think my mom has a pair when I was like 5 and she dug it out from the bottom of her closet, wanting me to try it on. no thanks. I wouldn't wear legging as pants and this is it in that sense. please, take them off if you have a pair on now. go now, don't at me like that. GO.
