Narcissistic Youth

New Beginnings

2011-09-23T02:09:00.000-07:00

Alright, I'm ready. So many changes in the last year but I am not quite ready to give up on Narcissistic Youth quite yet. Hope you're ready for me!

Vancouver, I think we are going to be greatest of friends.
P.S. like the view from my new digs? I KNOW.

I've never been too into jewelery and accessories as I like having my clothes speak for themselves instead of piling on glittery things that distract from what your wearing - but lately I've felt this changing.
I've received some amazing pieces I actually need to put up here for my 21st birthday and I've begun feeling under-dressed if I'm not wearing at least necklace and some rings. But as the weather gets hotter and hotter and the sun begins to show itself more often, my gold and silver-centric jewelery collection doesn't feel quite right. When I spotted these 2 Gypsies necklaces on Superette's website I knew they were exactly what I was looking for, simple and dreamy for those long summer days and longer summer nights.

So check them out here, or buy from Superette or Gran's Loose Change.

2010-10-20T03:58:00.000-07:00

Ming Makes Cupcakes is one of the most elegantly presented food blog I've come across. Presented simply without the bombing of superfluous photos, it's recipes such as the one above and others like 'Sour Cream Chocolate Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting' are drool inducing. Not only does it have cupcake recipes, Ming Makes Cupcakes also offers Cookie and Savoury Muffin options - just don't visit on an empty stomach!

i've been stuck in the library at uni for twelve hours working on a silly essay, it won't stop being grey and gloomy outside, and my feet are soaked from the massive hole in the sole of my boot i had no idea was even there until I stepped in a massive puddle.

as you can see, I haven't been having the most ideal day.

but, thanks to my fav new zealand blog somuchtotellyou my day has gotten exponentially better! I just won a beautiful lonely by lonely hearts lingerie set through a giveaway on their site.
thanks so much, somuchtotellyou. i can't wait to frolick around my bedroom in it!

the corner.

2010-08-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

I remember the corner.
The corner of your colour, the corner of your smile.
The corner where we kissed.
The street corners turning into the corners of the corridor.
Into the corners of the room where we lay.
The corners of your mouth, of your eyes.
The corners of words we didn't finish.
The corner of your name.
On the corner where we parted.
I remember the corner.

oh, behati

lonely hearts

2010-06-16T23:02:00.003-07:00

It's no news that New Zealand has been blowing up on the fashion scene. With visits from the likes of fashion blogger mainstays rumi and bryanboy to our shores, this hype is only growing. After nearly three years of living here I would have to say that my favourite nz brand by far is lonely hearts. You may have heard of them recently with the large buzz surrounding their lingerie line LONELY, but i think their clothing is amazing. It's quite trendy, I was in a store this afternoon admiring their velvet dresses, leather and paisley leggings and the most amazingly tailoured mens styled trousers. I really hope they get more recognition worlwide.

If you want to check out some of my other fav nz designers, peep:
stolen girlfriends club
zambesi
nom*d
meadowlark
madame hawk and ruby
d_Luxe
twentysevennames
karen waker

on another note, i'm obsessed with these not-so-vegan bags by auckland based dear prudence. cool right?

2009-09-24T00:44:00.000-07:00

my summer of love is about to start. i'm envisioning it full of white lace, piled on necklaces, no makeup and barefeet. A month of wearings nothing on the white sand beaches of Vanuatu and scuba diving within ancient world war two merchant vessels with the boyfriend. but first. exams. gah.

i love you jimi.

they introduced me to Jessica Sign, a really talented, up and coming illustrator who graduated from Central St. Martins.

Ethereal combo, i like the way they speak. so eloquent.

i guess his parents were pretty rad.

listen to kemp speak, it's like melting butterflies:

watch kemp dance, it's funny:

listen to sean and kemp's band, the ghost of a saber tooth tiger, it's hauntingly beautiful.

So after the flury of exams, I got sick of cold New Zealand winter and decided to quickly gallivant to my real home in Canada. So lovely to have summer, my two chocolate labs, a SLR and my mother's closet.

I'm so into everything on Bona Drag right now, especially the jewellery. They have it all; from Pamela Love body chains and THAT claw bracelet to beautiful Unearthen Raw Crystals(coveting!). Killer clothes from Sophmore and Obesity and Speed, and not to mention the beautiful studded ballet flats I have pictured in my sidebar for a mere $48 bones. Rad.

exams starting in a week and a half.
the only things keeping me going is whittaker's white chocolate macadamia bars and listening to the pumping beats of deadmau5. some people like studying to classical, i prefer house.
Oh and check out my new prescription, hopefully they'll help me pass "quantitative analysis for business". thrilling I know.

This photo series is more than amazing. It makes me reminisce about my summers growing up, just vegging out at the cabin on the lake without a care in the world, biking into town for creamy home-made ice cream and picking blackberries along the way.
Check out the rest (here).

So I've been sans camera after my friend convinced me to go to this New Zealand rap gig and some sleaze bag rip my beautiful camera right from my hands. Karma for going to a Smashproof concert I guess, but it was worth it as I got to wear bling and my faux fur coat. So photobooth photos for all! This tee is a beautiful peach colour in real life, and the jeans are high waisted cheap mondays.
