"Lanky Lizards!"

"They didn't care that Marilyn's prints were practically in their backyard at Graumann's; that you could buy tomahawks and plastic palm tree wallets at Farmer's Market, and the wildest, cheapest cheese and bean and hot dog and pastrami burritos at Oki Dogs; that the waitresses wore skates at the Jetson-style Tiny Naylor's; that there was a fountain that turned tropical soda-pop colors, and a canyon where Jim Morrison and Houdini used to live, and all-night potato knishes at Canter's, and not too far away was Venice, with columns, and canals, even, like the real Venice but maybe cooler because of the surfers." - excerpt from my fav. book ever Weetzie Bat - Francesca Lia Block..

Cafe Marrakech

My outfit of the day: Indian sari top (Out of the Past), beaded Tropicana earrings (Forever21), mushroom necklace (hippie festival), Chinese sandals (Dollerama)..
Fav. candy at the moment..Laffy Taffy in strawberry, banana, and cherry flavours..new succulent friend..i heart these tube plants so much coz they look like they came from another planet!
Some more new plant friends..this gorgeous Bromiliad, Ivy - nature's air purifier, spider plant, and tropical palm..

Whoops I love vegan/vegetarian dishes but sometimes I stray badly..yeah, I had to make this delicious Moroccan chicken with red bell pepper, almonds, Spanish green olives, raisins served on couscous.  I prefer couscous to rice!

And I found these two gems that I've been searching for a long while now..Bob Marley documentary on his life and C.R.A.Z.Y. a film that takes place in the 1970s and one of the boys is obsessed with David Bowie and his music..and their dad named them after his favourite Patsy Cline song, using the initials in the song title.  Great Canadian indie film!!

"She Can Dance A Cajun Rhythm.."

Outfits of the Week: all thrifted except for the sunnies (Out of the Past), and tie up sandals (Old Navy). All jewelry thrifted. Latest purchased plant is this cutie Moon Cactus.  And my lizard (from Port Colborne Hippie Fest).

A Mountain of Platinum

Went to the Botanical Gardens yesterday with a friend and we came across this massive large structure..its called "Niagara Strait" by Gordon Reeve.

Been lovin' Jamie Oliver's sprouted grains & edamame wiith wheat berries & miso! Brown sugar crunch ice-cream, Guerlain Mon perfume with Indian jasmine, watching 1970s hippie films online when I have a break from work and classes..

Boho Home Decor Haul

Thrifting for home décor/outdoor décor was thrilling yesterday! I found a pyramid stone shaped candle holder with stand..i'm not sure yet if i'll use it for a plant or candle, Indian bell shaped earrings which I've been searching for a long while..i was super excited to find these!!! Circle of Friends candle holder, these were popular in the 90s? A pretty stone dish to hold jewelry in, a wool daisy pin, wooden cross and amber stone pendants which I've made into chokers, an African style jar, and a creamer from the 1970s - Sadler made in England! Watched my fav. film "Go Ask Alice" and I heart the song Dear Mr. Fantasy a lot! It's a groovy film to watch for 70s hippie fashion and I also own the book..I haven't read it in a while..still have a hard time to believe that it is fictitious! Oh and the paisley hippie dress is Lucky Brand.

"I Can Make Myself Invisible Or Small.."

"I can make the earth stop in its tracks.  I made the blue cars go away.  I can make myself invisible or small.  I can become gigantic & reach the farthest things. I can change the course of nature. I can place myself anywhere in space or time.." **Jim Morrison**
