singing my life with his words

There's certain songs that just take you back to really exact moments. Ludacris' "Fantasy" never fails to remind me of driving home in my dads blue chevy with my best friends on my like 14/15th birthday. The girls were all unabashedly singing the lyrics to that song (you know - "I wanna lick lick lick you from your head to your toes...") in the back seat as I sat red faced in the front seat hoping my dad wasn't paying attention. The Pixies "Where is my Mind" reminds me of driving around up north by my cottage in torrential down pour just to get ice cream whilst doing terribly silly things with my girlfriends.

Everytime I hear "Killing Me Softly" by the Fugees I am reminded of my grade 9 "talent show." When some very brave girl got up on stage and sang this song to a crowd that was very resistant to her take on the song. So to show that she was a rebel and didn't care what everyone else thought - she attempted to "crowd surf" her way off stage - despite the total lack of a crowd in front of the stage. Of course the song reminds me of other things too, it's a beautiful song, but I can't hear the song without remembering that instance. Do any songs do that for you guys?

I actually wore this outfit last weekend, but have been too busy until today to get around to posting the snaps! Really simple outfit for a casual lunch with a friend. I love this sweater with these jeans - ultra comfy!

money city maniacs

I've been away for a whole week, I know. I have just been so so busy! First of all, my desktop computer is currently out of commission pretty well. It should be fixed soon but I have been spending a good amount of time trying to fix it. Secondly and more excitingly I have been busy with getting everything ready for the launch of Rhitbee Anne Vintage! I am so excited - everything is finally coming together. I'm thinking I will be able to begin listing pieces within the week - potentially week and a half. I have some really exciting things surrounding the launch of the shop, but you guys will just have to wait and see what I have up my sleeve!

outfit deets: dress - vintage grunge era // shoes - vintage // key necklace - vintage // ring - ?

I've had this ring for a really long time! It's pretty ridiculous and it glows in the dark. Still one of my faves.

I wore this dress just running around the house today. It's super grunge era but I love the way the collar classes it up just a little and the little flower print is so adorbale. It's real short though, I don't know how easy I would be able to wear this on the subway. We'll see but this little number might just be going up in the shop soon!

On a note unrelated to anything else in this post, aside from the title: have you guys heard the song Money City Maniacs by Sloan? It's one of the great songs of the 90s. I know Sloan is predominantly only popular in Canada but I think they have somewhat of a following in the states too. Anyway, if you have heard the song you'll know the chorus is pretty well unintelligible. It's one of those songs where everyone you know has a different opinion on what they're singing - each interpretation equally hilarious. I love songs like that, can you guys think of any others? What are the lyrics and some of the interpretations you've heard?

The Money City Maniacs chorus really goes "...and the joke is when he awoke his body was covered in coke fizz"

I've heard, "...and the joke is where do you want this? his body was totally joking"
or "...and the joke is bloodier wine kiss body was covered in buttkiss"
or "...and the joke is where do you want kids? body was covered in yokess"

talk soon guys!
