USED









here are some photos of a really cool vintage shop called "USED- house of vintage" i was introduced to during my stay in Vancouver. unfortunately photos can never show just how fantastic this place really is, apparently they have more than just a Vancouver location..Google is telling me that perhaps there is one in Toronto, how fantastically convenient for us Torontonians!

I had a hard time figuring out if they have a website or not and it looks like all they have is myspace and facebook..i guess thats the same?

heres their facebook if you wanna learn more and see more of what they have to offer

Hannah S.








ahhh, the long awaited photos!! (so sorry, thanks for being patient)

so my friends, a while back for a final assignment (Betty Julian's Contemporary issues: ART TODAY!) I chose to focus on reality vs internet persona.
because of the topic i thought Hannah S. would be perfect because she is a charming young woman whom i had the pleasure of meeting for this photoshoot, but prior to meeting her i (much like many others) thought of her as an ultimate fashionista with all the right connections and all the right stuff who happens to go to all the best parties and events (someone we all long to be- an IT girl) we all just want to succeed right?

i wanted to see what shes like in real life- not just on the internet so i could compare the two.

well it turns out Hannah S. isn't just an fashion savvy, smooth talkin', cool gal whom we all aspire to be. turns out shes human too! she is quite inspiring to me because she is in an industry which i am rather interested in myself (not to mention her rad style- mad props yo) and because so far shes doing DAMN well in it!

so keep the good stuff coming and good luck in all your future endeavors !

this is Wreck beach around sunset...i didn't stay long since there were Police officers kicking people out once the sunset...i didn't want to find out why so i left before Mr.sunshine left completely

side note: i totally wasn't expecting the crazzzzzy cardio workout on the way to and from the beach..something like 49954898350935 steps...maybe later this summer ill count how many there actually are...but my POINT IS...lotsa steps i guess...yep that's my point
