Hippie Shein Haul


Does anyone like the new system of blogging?? Why did they have to change it?? Its taking me like forever to figure it out..its so frustrating!! Anyways, I got these groovy things in the mail recently..lovin' my patchwork bellbottoms a lot and I got a package of 90s butterfly hairclips..i was disappointed that they were small compared to the ones I got a while back from forever21 but the colours are way groovy!!

Come Sail Away


Have been reorganizing my rooms, minimizing space once again, got new stuff in the mail (will post soon), getting rid of so many stuff from the basement, bringing stuff for charity..waiting for a rainy cool day to go through closets again, its been way too hot (41 humidex!!)..relooking through all my Ikea catalogues to give me ideas for space, storage etc..watched a really great classic thriller called Never Take Candy From A Stranger (1960)..the disturbing sick guy in it was so creepy!! Highly recommend this film!! Did a bit of crafts, made these pipecleaner retro daisies and put them in my 1970s vase which I thrifted last year. The fairy b-day gift from my mom was purchased at the Earth shop before it closed down.

Hippie Paradise


Went on a long nature hike in the woods..it was so peaceful near the lake with the tiny swamp area being my flower child hippie self sitting on top of a mini Stone Henge and not thinking of anything at all..just relaxing..

Shein Haul + Try On


I got my Shein order yesterday and was super thrilled with everything!!! I wasn't expecting much considering how cheap the stuff was, but I was pleasantly surprised!! I got the order all the way from China. This is a pretty good company..reminds me of the retro things I used to purchase at Forever21 or Urban Planet.  The materials are pretty good quality, its not bad really!! I got 2 pairs of earrings..big daisy ones and the square ones..very 1960s!! Retro hair stuff..love the 70s style hair combs!! Then I got a psychedelic mushroom t-shirt, the iron-on is very retro 70s!! 1960s flower power mini skirt, California Dreamin' t-shirt dress (love the color of it a lot!!), daisy print polyester shirt, and rainbow striped bellbottoms..these ones are my most favorite of the bunch!!!!

Modern Psychedelic Bands


Kula Shaker have been one of my most fav. bands for a long while!! They are from London, singer is dreamy Crispian Mills, and their music is heavily influenced by East Indian sounds. On the track Sound of Drums, you can hear The Doors style keyboard which reminds me of Light My Fire. Next up is Mystic Braves are an amazing American band from LA, and they are influenced by 60s psychedelic bands like The Seeds.  Temples are groovy psychedelic band from the UK.  Love their haunting vocals, and their videos are groovy!! Levitation Room, 60s rock with a hint of psychedelica, again from the LA area, super groovy beats!!Of course..The Babe Rainbow..love these guys loads!! They even have their own hippie bus..WOOT!WOOT! This video was taken from a 1971 documentary..Far-Out!! And last but not least, OMG!!! Where did this amazing groovy guy come from??? Lewis Floyd Henry..He reincarnated Hendrix!! Wow!!

Retro Flower


Summer daydreaming in my 70s crochet striped top, 70s sunglasses, and Jimi Hendrix guitar pick necklace.  I ordered these groovy retro flower stickers from Amazon..they were only $4.00! And they came the next day from the States..wow!! There's 10 flower cut outs in the pack.  Haven't decided where i'm gonna put them yet.  Also made homemade chocolate chip cookies..yum! It's been a very very hot and humid July so far, can't do anything much in this horrible heatwave!

Psychedelic Art


Recent artwork created in the humid hot sunshine..mushrooms, a hippie sign inspired by the film Psych-Out, and psyschedelic swirls. I got sick from drinking too much of Timmy's strong iced coffee!! I thought I was gonna start climbing the walls!! Way way much caffeine and I was ready to fly myself to the moon!! Not been doing much lately except reorganizing the basement, getting rid of stuff, because its so much cooler downstairs when its like 41 humidity!!
