(Photobooth) What I’m Wearing

Ok, so I know I literally just blogged about my new camera (which I am loving) however I was getting ready this morning and was ready to head out the door when I glimpsed myself in the mirror and said, “Damn, I look good today. I should share this outfit.” But, since I was just about to head out the door I didn’t have time to take some proper outfit photos. The solution? A photobooth What I’m Wearing shoot. So this is what I wore to run some errands earlier today. I give you, my errand running, mall-walking, denim on denim ensemble.

Outfit Details: Denim shirt: H&M; Jeans: American Eagle; Bag: Hurley (seen here); Watch: Fossil; Belt: thrifted.

Aaaaaand, no shoes!!!!!!!

Kidding, I wore my Toms. But obviously I wasn’t wearing any when I took these pictures.

Happy Monday kiddos!

Things I Learned About Myself at a Backstreet Boys Concert

So, if you’ve never done it, going to a concert from one of your favourite childhood bands in your adult life is a really crazy/weird/exciting/enlightening experience. Here is a (potentially embarrassing) collection of things I learned/musings/thoughts on the day after a Backstreet Boys Concert.

When we decided, on a whim, to buy tickets to the NKOTBSB (New Kids on the Block + Backstreet Boys) show yesterday morning for the show last night I was obviously excited, because I love going to shows and I also loved BSB in my early teens. However, I was not at all prepared for how excited I actually was when BSB came out. Let’s have some real talk for a minute here ok? You’ve all see how crazy the little tweens go when they see Justin Bieber. Or maybe you remember or have seen the way people used to react to the Beatles. You guys, that was me last night. I don’t know what came over me (actually I do, it was my 8-12 year old self, that used to dance around my room to BSB) but I can only imagine how ridiculous I must have looked last night. And the amazing thing is, I don’t even care because almost everyone else who was there was doing the same thing. So I totally went to this show to see the Backstreet Boys. I think NKOTB were just a bit before my time in that they were still around when I was in my boy band phase however, they had their heyday when I was too young to remember. However, I was surprised to learn that I knew a lot more NKOTB songs than I thought I did going into the concert. Which resulted in me singing many of their songs at the top of my lungs as well, when I had really planned to use the NKOTB songs to rest my voice for the next BSB song. Needless to say  my voice was a little sore last night.

Speaking of singing at the top of my lungs, BSB songs are right in my perfect vocal range. I need to keep this in mind the next time I go to Karaoke. Also some of the dance moves I find myself pulling on during dance parties are very similar to the sweet boy band dance moves that NKOTBSB were pulling out last night. No doubt an influence of me watching BSB music videos all those years. But, with the singing and the dancing I’m wondering if I missed my calling. I should find out if they want to replace Kevin.  Back in my hardcore BSB days, I was always a Brian fan. He was always my favourite. After last night, I’m pretty sure AJ is my new favourite member of BSB. Brian is still a close second, and his highlighter pink shoes were super rad, and I don’t know why but AJ has taken Brian’s place as my favourite Backstreet Boy. While I was singing at the top of my lungs and learning some new boy band dance moves for my next dance party, I realized that I actually still really like BSB music. Like, I’m listening to it right now, and I think I’ll be listening to it for at least a few more days. And on top of that, I’m not even ashamed haha. I think part of the reason why I still like it is nostalgic, but let’s be honest, it’s good music.

The show itself was actually amazing. Really, really well done. It was interesting to see how NKOTBSB shared the stage and the finale was really cool. Also it was the final show of the tour so it was really sentimental/special for the guys and you could tell watching the concert (at one point AJ even came out in shiny gold briefs and a tank top to party boy NKOTB while they were singing – maybe a contributing factor to him being my new fave).

So there you go, concerts can be a soul-searching/learning experience. lol Go and learn something about yourself friends.

Well Hello There.

Hello kiddos. A very happy Sunday to you all. What you are seeing up there is the very first picture taken by my brand new friend, Rebel T3i (!!!).  T3i this is my blog and its lovely readers, readers Rebel. Say hi…I feel much better now that you’ve all been formally introduced because you’re going to be seeing a lot of each other around here I’m sure.

My new friend there was a reward/gift for myself. For graduating and getting a big person job mostly but also because I did a much deep clean of this apartment on Friday/Saturday. So I decided to pop out yesterday afternoon and pick up my new little friend here.

For those of you who have been following my little blog here for a long time you’ll know how thrilled I am to finally have myself a nice DSLR because I have been toying with the idea on this blog forEVER. However, the ridiculously excited face you see there is twofold. First and foremost it is because of my new camera (which I have yet to name…so if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them) but second of all it is because tonight I will be going to see the Backstreet Boys. That smile is the 11 (or so) year old in myself that used to dance around to Black and Blue with my cousin in her bedroom. We just decided to see if there were still tickets available last night and when there were and we confirmed the payment, I only screamed a little bit. Needless to say I’m listening to Backstreet Boys as I type, brushing up on the lyrics so I can sing along to all of the songs.

So yeah, that’s what I’m up to this evening. How was your weekend?

What I Wore

So with the new design I’m planning on trying out some new things. One of the features I’m really drawn to on other peoples blogs are What I (We) Wore posts. And since such a big part of my life has to do with clothes (shopping, fashion magazines and blogs, etc.) I figured I would venture into the world of What I Wore posts. So please bear with me and my cheesy/ridiculous faces and poses as I try to find my What I Wore groove. Also please excuse the blue leash running across the bottom of that photo. I was walking Archie when I decided to take pics. ha!

With that I give you  my first installment – What I Wore for my new blog photos.

These were taken in days gone by. Days when the air was cool enough that it was comfortable to wear a (p)leather jacket and a flannel shirt. Right now? Not so much. In fact right now its so hot that I can frequently be found around my apartment not wearing pants. TMI? Maybe, I don’t mind.

Outfit Details: Jacket: Urban Behavior; Flannel: Thrifted; Tee: American Apparel; Jeans: American Eagle; Shoes: Converse; Spider Necklace: Aldo.

Ps. I took these with the self timer on my camera and so there were a number that didn’t turn out. However I was surprised by something. I give you the evidence…

These are two of probably 8 or 10 photos where I noticed how long my K9 teeth are. Upon closer inspection in my bathroom mirror, and various comparisons with friends and family I have come to realize I do in fact, have abnormally long K9s. Dare I say, vampire long??

I also chose these two pictures in particular not only because you can see how long my teeth are but I am also running my tongue along my teeth. Which only adds to the sexy/brooding/vampy/Twilight/True Blood feel of the pictures. I can assure you I do not have a taste for blood of any kind. Seriously, I don’t even eat red meat.

Ok so this has been my first What I Wore post and I’m rambling about my vampire teeth. Like I said, bear with me.

Freshness.

So this blog has been pretty sleepy for a while, that’s why I’m exited to welcome you to my new blog friends!

Actually its the same blog, just with a major, MA-jor facelift. I was tired with the way my old blog was looking, it was essentially the same as when I first started blogging three years ago. So, I’ve had a good break from blogging, but for the past little while I’ve been feeling the blogging bug again.

So, for the past week or so I’ve been working tirelessly to make this a place I wanted to spend more time. It took a lot of late nights, a lot of Googling HTML and CSS tutorials, lots of  swear words shouted out loud, at the top of my lungs when things didn’t work out and then lots of long, hard dance parties when they finally did work out. But despite the hard work, and I think because of it I’m even more thrilled with the way things have turned out here and I’m hoping this is a place where you want to spend more time too.

So take a look around, my fresh new blog. Click things, and see what adventures they take you on. You’ll notice however a few of the links in the navigation bar at the top bring you back to the home page, but that will change very soon hopefully.

Also, if you have any burning questions you want answered in my FAQ page you can leave them in the comments or you can email them to me using one of the links on this page.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m excited to be back and I hope you’ll come back again and again.

love, love Jeremy

this mess.

please excuse me while i tidy up the little mess around here. you know, the one on the blog, not necessarily the one in my room. which as you can see, is pretty bad. piles on the desk, clothes on my chair – hence my working from the bed. actually i always work from the bed even when my desk + chair is cleared however rarely that may be. ha!

anyways. i’m currently gathering inspiration, designing and executing a teeny little blog redesign. nothing major, just a little sprucing up to make this place a place where i want to be spending more time. hopefully a little face lift will give me the inspiration i need to start blogging a little more regularly.

so please don’t mind the mess around here over the next little while, good chance things could look pretty crazy as i work on this space, especially since i don’t really know what i’m doing and am only hoping things turn out the way i’m envisioning. ha.

love youuuu.

omg he blogged!! aaaand scrapbooked?!?

oh heyy.

so yup, for those of you who don’t follow me on twitter and see my frequent, ridiculous tweets – i am still alive.  for those of you who only follow me on my blog, and who only know me through my blog then i can completely understand why you might have thought i was dead on account of the fact that i haven’t blogged in well over a month and a half.

why did i stop you ask? well it was partly because i didn’t have a computer for a while and got out of the habit of it. but it was also because i just wasn’t feeling it.

so then what brings me back is naturally the next question on your mind. well one thing is a sweet comment on my last post from the lovely Sasha. also this past week my senses have been on overload from new york fashion week.

i don’t know what it is but fashion gets me so creatively excited. there is just something about it. i don’t think i’ll blog about it here, i tweet about it pretty frequently though so check it out on twitter. really quickly though, some highlights from the fw’11 shows so far are proenza schouler, marc jacobs, alice + olivia and rodarte (obvs).

anyways, for the time being i’m back. and while i’m here, i’ll share a layout i finished yesterday.

This is for the February Creative Type prompt. (check out what the other girls came up and play along for yourself right here) it is also the start of my documenting my trip to india. i think i’ve finally decided how i’m going to document it on paper which will no doubt lead to me blogging about it. so yay for that.

anyways, i’m sorry for this random collection of thoughts and ramblings and the extra long hiatus. but i’m back and i’m glad to be back. i missed all of you :)
