Ask and you shall receive – boys, I know you’ve been yearning for more male content and it’s coming your way (though I know you all quite thoroughly enjoy the female-centric readings). I came across this hat awhile back but I love rehashing things from the past (yeah, a pleasant downfall – love it). Kim Jones is a contemporary artist known best for his controversial performance and sculpture art (well, which artist isn’t really). This particular see-through hat (which is an absolutely hilarious vision when a guy is looking through the hat-bill-slot) is available in fairly obscure retail distribution. Where you ask? Eliminator, that’s where.

Lustre Boutique was a stunning little find when Gem and I went to Montreal late May. It was the one store that was open late (whilst we were looking for a cafe/nightspot) that we came upon. Nothing short of amazing, the boutique housed gorgeous and unique pieces from designer Yasmine Wasfy. Though I didn’t end up with the perfect skirt as hoped, I did take home the necklace pictured above, by the jewelry line Thai Hand. Inclusive of vintage pieces and semi-precious stones, this was my dimepiece for the trip. Charming, isn’t it?

So I tried to do a vlog for you guys but my computer has been funking out and I’m going to presume that a shotty-noised-out (intentionally of course) webcam photo should suffice. It will.

Cleverly coining new phrases is what I’m all about. Though if you don’t find this even the slightest bit clever I can definitely accept that as well. I just really like alliteration to be honest, that’s where all the c’s came into play.

Truth is, I have been swamped this last little while. Swamped with either figuring out what my next steps are, what I’m doing now and how to do it better, event planning, and working two jobs (until end of last week, phew).

I’ve come back renewed. I know where I want to take mon career, I’m coming to terms of with the things that I’ve done in the last year (which by the by, I am completely going to summarize for myself in an upcoming birthday-esque post), and I know what skills and morsels of talent that I want to hone.

I want to be the creator of something great. I want to be an originator of art and content. And I’m looking to urbanebloc.com to help me channel that.

Watch out world, the soon-to-be-23 is coming.

Those LUSH Cosmetics folks are pretty innovative. The first striking attribute of everything they sell is that it looks delicious enough to eat. Secondly? It smells fit to consume as well. Pretty nifty. Happy Canada Day to you, from a 100% Canadian-made products retailer.

The shampoo bar concept revolves around less waste and heightened portability. While it might seem like you’re washing your hair with soap, the lather and texture may prove otherwise. I know the pains of spillage inside your luggage. Not pretty. Check out their other shampoo bars here. The ones pictured above are Ultimate Shine (vegan and $9.95) and Solid Shampoo (cinnamony goodness for $9.95).
