braided hair, leaves and buttons

lately there are three new things i have strated to really love and possibly slightly overuse-- the first being braided hair and the second being leaves... the past few weeks i have worn some type of briads in my hair- whether it be braided bangs, tiny braids through-out curls-, or just simply a braided rope - almost everyday! there is somethings so pretty and natural about braids and i just love em! speaking of natural things that i love- the next is leaves... i have found a few leave neckalce pendants around that i love so much and have also found a few more than i plan on ordering very soooon! via etsy ( it will be the death of my every paycheque i swear)

heres a sneak peak:

ah yay so excited!

the last thing on my list that excites me so too much lately is buttons! i dont know why but i have always loved them! and found them so cutee and i recently took my love for them to a new level by making a few pairs of earings out of them! how creative =P! haha-pictures later

thats all for nowww

p.s. have you been reading just be ?

it's true! that's what it means

updates

well... here i am - my excessively long lived hiatus has come to an end & i've tried to turn a few new leaves over in my life. with some help from a special someone i realised this summer was the perfect time to discover a new passion.. or at least find a couple new hobbies. the -much-to-long-before-mid-more-like-a-quarter-life-crisis that i feel like i have been trapped in for way to long may have finally come to an end.

Even though there have been a few downfalls or disappointments, i can say over all within the last few months i have been able to experience great joy warmth and zeal from my new found interests. Before school ended, starting this blog was one thing that kept me excited and every spare moment of time i had occupied, and i still find happiness in blogging.. in fact i am trying to tame the hullabaloo i have inside about the much or not so much anticipated up and running of just be. but more about that later...

I purchased a guitar... (ok two guitars) at the start of this month and thanks to my extremely talented guitar playing buddie- i have learned a few things. the most challenging thing being that i quite possibly have the worlds smallest hands for am almost 20-year old girl ever, and that tiny physical characteristic makes learning the acoustic guitar just that much more tricky to master. I also made a trip up to edmonton earlier this month and among many other things i purchased a fisheye camera from urban outfitters. i think the fact that it takes regular film that needs to be developed, and that it is not digital makes me love it that much more as the anticipation and excitement of waiting to see what your pictures look like is a feeling i haven't felt since.. well, since digital cameras made an entrance. i have asked the parental units for a d-slr camera, or money towards one, for my big MILESTONE BIRTHDAY that's coming up in just over a month! and i look forward to take a photography night class in the fall.

As you may, or may not know.. the third out of old character but fits with my new character thing i decided to do this summer was to get the tattoo on my foot i have wanted for so long but just didn't have the time/money.. ok. GUTS to do it. Well i did, and much like other obscure things i have decided to try in the past things went awry.. or slightly at least. i have the words just be. tattooed on my right foot, and will for the rest of my life, but unfortunately due to a blow out.. along with those words is the effect that looks almost like a shadow or a blur around the word just.. this definitely was not the plan but unfortunately it can not be helped. i may get my tattoo re-touched and attempt to fix this irreversible error later on.. but for now its there just the way it is... and although slightly upsetting and very unexpected i guess if i truly live by the meaning of just be then i have to let it be and love it for how/what it is.. it is far from the worst that could of happened and to an untold eye is almost un-noticeable. so i guess just be.. which leads me to my last point

just be is a blog that i have been wanting to launch for a while. i have had some readers tell me they love this blog but want something with more substance and emotion. which is understandable as this blog typically features many photos and not so many words. just be. is a blog that will stem out from this one kind of like a different branch of myself. i will try to share the more emotional and verbal sides of the things that inspire me.. or the emotions that i way to often keep bottled up inside.. hopefully you have a chance to check it out and will enjoy reading it as much as i enjoy writing it. click the picture below to go there now...

If you read this entire page of rambles you deserve a GIANT pat on the back or hug or something! haha and you now also know some things you probably didn't know about that-girl before! Along with this longgg update and the launch of just be. i decided it was time to design a new that-girl banner as well! enjoy =).

Barbie meets Football

Combining the two very stereotypical worlds of Barbie girls and football boys is reflected in the design of French designer Chloe Ruchon. She created the first "Barbie Foot" [a Foosball table user barbies as players] and has just presented it to the Festival DMY Berlin design. Although the idea may seem a little off side i love every bit of it and find it quite funny and very creative!

Better Off Dead

Just a few pieces of "Jacob The Murderer" trademark collection "Better off Dead". He has enjoyed the trashing logos of luxury brands.. which would go perfectly with the the Hello Drama Jewelry Collection...

vinyl.

went to vinyl last night for Jaime's b-day!! after much anticipation and many delays calgary's new club finally opened! - its prettty sweeet, & im sure i will enjoy it even more when i am not the DD haha!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIME!!!

thanks for a great night with great friends!

music & me

lately i have found a whole heck load of old burnt CD's and i forgot how good music used to be! there are a few local artist and underground writers that have come up with some gooooood stuff, but i remember the days were i loved every song on the radio.. and now im only a fan of maybe 1 or 2...i mean i guess maybe my taste in music has matured and grew away from 'top 40' haha but either way its WEAKKKKKKKKKKKKK.. goooood thing i've got my own guitar now so i can start producing some goood sh*t..

hahahahaha

take your own advice

either way- it's not tonight
