60s Mod Room

My new mod 60s artsy room with boho elements..I've had the papasan chair for nearly forever, I placed it in the corner with a giant flower pillow, and my re-creation of a Josef Alber square using acrylics..the Manhattan Cocktail 1960 retro picture is what I picked up at Homesense, it's like a mini poster and it also gives you the recipe on how to make one..I am loving it so much!!

I love how the picture looks on the wall!! Say hello to Paul! He is from the Yellow Submarine collection, unfortunately I wanted to get John or Ringo but they didn't have them. I got the tablerunner at the flea market, it's from the 1960s and I think I was told that it's Romanian..

I did a little bit of rearranging on my shelves, I kept boho stuff too, just added Double Fantasy - John & Yoko album on top, and my framed Beatles pic..I tried to fit all of them in, but frame was a bit too small..sorry George and Paul! My favourite Beatles are John & Ringo! and I added my 60s artwork sideways on the wall.

London Girl Goes To Homesense

Went to Homesense to look for 60s mod artsy pieces..loved some of the Halloween stuff there like the wicked witch from Snow White!! She was so fab!! 

I wanted to bring home the beanie cat, cute pumpkins, and I really really wanted to bring home the most beautiful pug I ever saw!!!!! His name is Bandit.  While we were thrifting in Goodwill, Bandit showed up in a cart..he looked so sad, the owner told us that she rescued him from abusive assholes! I cannot and will not tolerate anyone who is cruel to animals!! It's wonderful to know that most people care and have compassion to save animal lives!! She was a sweet lady!!

Thali Cafe

What I ate after classes last night..Thali..the yellow sauce was too hot for me!! It actually came with a real chili pepper in it, but the green sauce was so good with paneer cheese squares..sooo yummy!!!!!!! and it came with basmati rice.

Mod Girl

I have my friend Trisha to blame for this, but I am really loving the mod 60s!! The whole era, the art, the clothes, the pop of colors, Twiggy, Beatles (well its like I've always loved them!! big fan of John Lennon and Ringo Starr), Vidal Sassoon, the hair, coloured tights, mini skirts, Carnaby Street London, Biba fashion, Mary Quant, etc..I'm also into the 70s too..Went to the flea market over the weekend, and picked up these buttons, another friend of mine gave me this amazing Beatles poster, and a few bits and bobs of 60s fashion on my bedroom wall..I am lovin' being a mod!!!!

I Am A-Changin'

I am starting to get into the mod 60s, the art deco, clothing, hair, make-up of that decade..

Good-bye Summer, Hello Fall!

Outfit of the Day: Beatles t-shirt - H&M (long while back), sage green elephant print harem pants and new big circle necklace - Ziegler, made in Brazil metallic heart flip-flops - Winners..loooove everything!!!! And I am totally addicted to pumpkin spice lattes!!!!

Vintage Shopping

Vintage retro shops adventure, went to the Majtay Lounge for cream cheese pockets, Performing Arts Center, got tickets to see tribute to Elton John, can't wait!! Didn't buy much at Out of the Past, a few things including this cute 60s thin scarf, can wear it like this around my neck or more 60s style by just leaving it long..while me and my friend were walking around, some badass dudes dressed in rap video gear said that we are so cool!! WOOT!WOOT!! Collected a few flyers too..there are so many new shops that opened but couldn't see them all like Pink Bubblegum, Feels Good Thrifting, Auds n Ends etc..

Mystical Magical Haul

I bought the star bottle from Michaels a while back and I've been doing spells..very simple to do..first you take incense (I usually use Dragon's Blood) to cleanse the jar, then I filled it with amethyst stones and candles that I got from the crystal shop and I had burnt almost to the end, I also use bay leaves, rosemary, and other spices and put in a note of a wish that I want etc..there's lots of ways to use the spell jar..the fridge magnet I picked up yesterday from the Halloween Spirit shop..

Boho outfit - fringe boots - thrifted, say hello to Tu-pac, and candy corn bucket from H.Spirit..

My most fav. find at the H. Spirit shop..a tarot lanyard!! I love this so much!! Front and back of the card, and there's more inside! So I can change them around whenever I want to, but the High Priestess card is my fav.

New bead organizer from Dollerama..1980s scrunchie from H. Spirit..

Vampire + Pumpkin hair claws and glow oil body shimmer from Urban Planet, and peach milk body lotion from Marshalls (this is super moist and smells like peaches and cream, so good!!)..

This amazing thick chunky green bracelet is a 1961 Italian brand..from Winners..Loooove!!

Potstickers Cafe

Made this last night..veggie potstickers served with soya honey sauce..I think I over boiled it coz they were coming apart, I definitely will fry them next time..they were super tasty!!

A Fairwell to Summer

Walking in a forest and a cemetary a few days ago when the sunshine was electric, the grass swayed in the breeze, the hydrengeas, big flowerheads greeted me as I passed by..I discovered poppy art rocks, and the huge grave of an unknown soldier..sat on a rock listening the trees..outfit: peasant blouse with embroidered flowers and mirrors - H&M, floral skirt - Urban Planet..
