Woah. I haven’t updated my vintage shop in almost 3 months. Where did that time go? So now I’m doing a massive update of all my summer stuff that I should have added months ago. tisk tisk Lara.

I also just realized I never posted a photo of my new hair colour. To be honest I’m not thrilled with the way it turned out. It’s a little temperamental. In certain lights it’s exactly the colour I wanted it to be, but generally it’s a more natural looking, dull orange.

This thursday I’m leaving for London for two whole weeks! I’m going for an interview at a college and to visit family and friends. If I wasn’t so terrified of flying I would be super duper excited. For this weeks Favourite Etsy Items I though I would make it London themed. It actually turned out to be harder than I expected. I started out by hearting anything with a Union Jack on it but that was looking pretty lame. In the end I decided to make it a mod and punk themed grouping.

I’ve already started thinking about what I should bring for the trip. The weather in London is so unpredictable so I definitely need to bring some warmer clothes. For travelling, I’m thinking of wearing my leather jacket, skinny black jeans and ankle boots. I also want to bring some dresses and heels for nights out on the town. I probably won’t stick to a totally mod/punk themed wardrobe since I’m so into flowy florals but it’s a good starting point! I also need to think about what I should wear to the interview! I found this amazing late 60s three piece wool suit thrifting a few weeks back and was considering wearing that, but I think it may be too much. Maybe I’ll post photos of the different options and put it to a vote.

The weather in Montreal has been really up and down, one day it’s +12 and the next it’s -12. However, it’s supposed to get gradually warmer this week and by the weekend it’s going to +23 degrees! I can’t wait! So in preparation I’m going through my wardrobe, picking out all my favourite spring clothes and taking note of what staples I’m missing. I’m also going to go bike shopping this week, boy do I missing biking!

There are a few looks I’m feeling for spring. I would love to find an airy, 70s patchwork mini dress for picnics and lazy hot days. I already have quite a large collection of rompers but I could always use more. I’m also on the hunt for the perfect pair of wedge sandal and some floral denim pieces. Colour and pattern and must have for spring, as you may know from previous posts, I love folky prints; Norwegian, south western and aztec to name a few!
