Long Dresses

With prom come up I have been thinking about what dresses I may want to get. I was set on getting a short dress because I had a long dress for grade 8 grad. I am starting to like the look of some of the more flowing or slit long dresses. I have a couple photos of dresses that I really like. I am really liking the sparkles and the jewels.

Canadian Goose Jackets UPDATE

Recently I have seen that the Canadian Goose Jackets that I did a post on about a month ago are killing Coyotes for the fur. I find this horrible. They are killing tons and tons of Coyotes to make some stupid jacket that costs so much money.

"Each year in Canada, over 100,000 coyotes are trapped and killed in cruel leg-hold, Conibear and snare traps. In agony and confusion, animals often break teeth and bones trying to escape.
Across Canada, trap check times vary from once every 20 hours to once every 14 days, but such laws are largely unenforceable. An animal who does not die quickly is faced with unrelenting pain and a panic-filled wait, until they are clubbed to death, suffocated, shot or strangled.
Canada Goose Inc. is a a popular adventure clothing company that uses real Canadian coyote fur trim on the hoods of their jackets."

I have seen some posts from the company saying they are not associated with Mink or other small animal killings, but they didn't say anything about Coyotes and this makes me think they are avoiding the question about the Coyotes. I am disappointed and I think using real fur is despicable. I find it horrible. I will never ever think that killing animals and using their fur for fashion. There is a reason they use fake fur.

Prints

I recently have been very interested in the different animal prints such as cheetah and zebra. I like the way it looks and it makes you look a little bold or daring. I know I am extremely late on this trend, but better late than never. When you have these prints they aren't always in the proper colours, you can make them blue, pink, red, etc. Also you can use these prints anywhere and they are extremely chic.

My hair

This is my new hair cut :$

Hair - Bangs

The other day I was going to get my hair cut and I wasn't sure how to do my hair because I wanted something new. Anyways I decided to go with bangs, but I asked some of my friends if I should go with straight bangs again and there were a couple of my friends who said that bangs are out of style. Personally I love bangs. Side-bangs, straight bangs anything. I love it. Anyways I ended up getting my hair cut with straight bangs and I love it. I'm so happy with them and after I shower and do my hair then I will post a picture. Until then enjoy these stars with bangs.

Canadian Goose Jackets

At first when I saw these jackets I was really not impressed. I didn't like them at all. Now I have actually seen them more often now I actually don't mind them. I think they are nice. The only thing is they are so expensive. I personally would never get them because I wouldn't pay that much for a piece of clothing. There is no way. Anyways they have some nice colours and if you are able to buy one of those jackets then you are going to get a nice jacket that will keep you warm and is in fashion.

New Years Resolutios

I have a couple so bare with me.

1) Lose weight- Now I know what you’re all going to say. “People make this every year and it never happens.” I know I have fallen victim to this many times in the past. This year I am really motivated because of graduation this June and because I’m tired of everything that comes with all this extra weight. Time for a change.

2) Update my blogs more frequently - I have been trying much harder than usual and I get the tumblr all the time, but now I will try much harder with both my blogspot & my wordpress. Wish me luck.

3) Travel - I know I don’t have a lot of money but I really want to go to a new place this year and such. I love traveling and don’t get to do it very often but hopefully this year I get to go somewhere fun.

4) Get rid of the wastes - I really need to get rid of some people from my life. I don’t need stupid drama so I am trying to cut out people that I don’t need. I went through my bbm, contacts, facebook, and twitter and I deleted all the people from my old school and a bunch of people that I hate for various reasons and people in general that have screwed me over and stuff.

5) Swear much less - I want to cut down on my swearing. I swear way to much and I feel like it isn’t very attractive. I want to cut down a lot. The only time I feel swearing is acceptable is when I’m watching hockey considering that’s how I get my anger out.

6) Be happy - This past year was really hard for me and I got through a lot but I am not really happy ever so I am gonna try and make an effort to be happier.

7) Stop drugs - I have made a choice to quit drugs and only do them on special days such as my birthday and harvest fest. I don’t want to quit all together right now but I am not going to use during school time.

I know that’s a lot of things, but I feel like I can do this. Wish me luck.
