May I Introduce You To...

the newest member of my accessories family, Le Sac. I don't know anything about this bag, I have searched for it online, but have come up empty. If you know anything about Le Sac brand, please let me know. I am really interested. I purchased it in a vintage store, but I think the store owner said it wasn't old.

We went out for Cambodian food for lunch, which is now my favourite kind of cuisine...right after Vietnamese. This is what I wore to lunch. For dinner, we went to my favourite Greek resteraunt, and I wore my newly hemmed red vintage dress. Afterwards, some friends came over for cheesecake. I am not eating again for a week...and tomorrow is the cottage party...arg.

This bag is perfect I think. It is a hard case so it doesn't collapse and squish your things, and it looks both elegant and casual.

Happy Me Day!

Well, today is my birthday. I am now officially in the late part of my early 20's. I can't believe that next year I will be in the middle of my 20's! But it is time for my yearly reflection...

Isn't it strange that when you are younger you are always wishing that you were older, but when you get there, you want to stay put forever? I remember when I turned 20, it was exciting, but I couldn't believe that I was never going to be a teenager ever again. It was kind of a haunting thought, but each year on our birthdays we are reminded that we are marching slowly towards death. I find ever year on August 5th I sit down, like right now, and think a lot about my own mortality...I don't understand how everyone can be so calm all the time when you know that you are going to die someday. We just plod on with our jobs, our day-to-day and sometimes boredom knowing that each moment that has passed is gone. I think consciousness of mortality is cruel. It is a topic that is always in the back of my mind and one that I don't like to think about very often...every year I wonder, "am I making the right decisions?", "am I where I wanted to be at this age?", "am I doing what is best for my future?" "am I on the right path?"

I guess the answer is, we just don't know. So, I think that doing as much as you can, experiencing as much as you can and treating everyone with respect is the best way through life. The world is full of amazing things to be experienced, and everyone deserves to be treated equally, because we are all equal. We all end up in the same place.

I will introduce you to my amazing birthday presents soon :) Tonight for my b-day dinner, I will be wearing the shortened, thrifted red dress that I posted about earlier. And so life goes on...

What I Would Wear

...If I were invited to the Clinton wedding.

Definitely channel sexy elegance, with a punch of studs curtest of McQueen. This is in response to a post done by one of my favourite bloggers, "Carrie Bradshaw Made Me Do It".

What would you wear if you were invited to the Clinton wedding?

My New Header

Hello all! I have had this header for a long time, and have hated for almost as long. I am thinking that I will change it to one of these, but I can't choose. I would appreciate your votes!

grrr

Things are still screwy and unbelievable in Kim land, but I haven't forgotten my blog. More and more tiring apologies though, but maybe you will find this interesting. I painted these the other day, it is a stylized version of a Death's Head Moth.

Clothes posts to come, I just haven't felt very inspired lately. I'm working on 1hr of sleep today.

I'm Back!

Sorry for the longer than expected absense, but I am back and feeling better.

I went thrifting yesterday, which is something that I haven't done in a long while! I picked up this dress for the amazing price of $2.50. The tag says, The House of Nu-Whu Toronto Canada. It is an old tag, micely stitched.

My intent is to shorten the dress by taking off the bottom ruffle, which will make it look a little more modern:

Hyattus

Hello all. I am going to be going on hyattus for a couple days. I have had a bad week and an even worse past 2 days, so I need some time to myself. I will be back on Tuesday or Wednesday with more pictures!

A Fresh Start

Yesterday was amazing! We all piled into the car and made the 4 hour drive to Mount Tremblant in Quebec. It is the highest ski hill in Eastern Canada. I have never been there in the summer, but it was incredible as you will see from the pictures. We bought tickets and rode up to the top in the goldola. At the top there were picturesque 360* views, and at the bottom of the hill is a village reminiscent of old Quebec City.

Tremblant village.

The ski lodge at the top of Tremblant.

Found a bee at the top enjoying the view. We are 1/2 mile vertically from the bottom of the mountain.

Just like the streets of Quebec City

And We Go On Our Merry Way

I am back from my sweltering week in Toronto and am really looking forward to tomorrow! A friend and I are going dt Kingston to see the Buskers, have a drink on some patios and most importantly, plan for our Greece trip this fall! Since we began planning the trip, I have run into 2 other groups of people that are doing the same thing. Seems like a pretty popular destination. We are planning on island hopping, starting in Athens then working our way through Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and maybe venture over to Turkey. If you have been to Greece and have any trip advise, I would love to hear from you! You can e-mail me at kimgascoigne@gmail.com .
