Thanks For The Update, Big Ben...
I am currently reading the book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and so far it is pretty interesting. I have been slacking with my summer reading this year and have only read White Oleander by Janet Fitch and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I usually at LEAST read all four of the Twilight Saga books during the summer plus a few others. But, this year I have been lazy and watched more movies than anything else. Wah-wahhh. Fail. At least I can say I have read almost three now... That's good right?... :(
On Sunday three of my best friends and I traveled down to Toronto to see my favourite band perform at The Molson Amphitheater. It was my third time seeing Incubus live and it was even more amazing than I had remembered. I started to tear up when they opened with Pardon Me. This might come off as melodramatic but it was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. The audience seemed to be mirroring my feelings towards the band because they were the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a concert. Ever. Even Brandon commented on how loud we were singing. The audience cheered with such vigor I thought the whole place was going to rip apart! They put on a great show and it was definitely a highlight of my summer.
This was their set-list:
Pardon Me
Wish You Were Here
Adolescents
Anna Molly
Promises, Promises
If Not Now, When?
Circles
When it Comes
Consequence
Vitamin
In the Company of Wolves
Defiance
Dig
Just a Phase
A Crow Left of the Murder
Drive
Thieves
Nice to Know You
Encore:
Megalomanic
Tomorrow's Food
All-in-all it has been a pretty low key but awesome summer. I have done many things including but not limited to, beach hopping, tanning, pub crawling, reading, movie watching, laughing, concert going, new trend shopping, wedding attending, fingernail painting, restaurant eating, make-up doing, pizza making, boyfriend cuddling, music listening, and many more.
I can't complain about my summer but the thing I can complain about is the ever looming cloud of cold, icy, annoying, can't-seem-to-scrape-you-off-my-windshield-fast-enough thing that is sure to come our way soon enough. But before that happens there's still a lot of cool (pun intended) things up and coming. Including my 25th birthday, Halloween, The Norwood Fair, Thanksgiving, and hopefully a new job opportunity or two as well.
Things are looking up.
Cheers,
Becca

HAUL!
I am really loving long necklaces at the moment so I decided to go a head and pick some up. I also have been feeling the 60's and 70's trend that has been recurring this summer. I have taken pictures of some of my favourite items bought this past week.

The Royal Wedding!
So to my great pleasure I got to see some of the amazing fashion happening inside the Abby. I absolutely adore the huge trend, made popular by the new bride herself, which was worn by nearly every woman in attendance. Yes thats right, 'Fascinators'! They came in every shape, colour and variety. From the more quaint to the completely ostentatious. One of my favourites being worn by Princess Beatrice of York, pictured below.
Her look was very 'of the moment' and had a certain grandeur to it without being gaudy like this lady dressed head to toe in blue...
Another classic Royal Wedding look was worn by a pregnant Victoria Beckham looking ever so sleek and stylish. Her fascinator looked to me like the largest one at the wedding but it still managed to look demure because of the colour and because of her understated dress and jewelry. * Kudos goes to Mrs. Beckham for being able to wear those shoes while being well along in her pregnancy.
Kate, however, is known for taking tradition in stride and working her own style into the equasion but as for her wedding gown choice I think she chose something that suited her personality well and also incorporated a classic twist. Having said that, I was disappointed when I saw her go from the safety of the canopy at the Goring Hotel to board her car that would take her to the chapel. In that moment I, along with everyone else in the world, saw the first glimps of the Alexander McQueen dress. And I have to admit I wasn't impressed at first. I had pictured in my head something a little more becoming of a future Queen. Perhaps something more couture? I guess being in her shoes she didn't want to make it look like she was trying too hard or trying to overshadow Diana's dress. I also wasn't a fan of the veil but to each her own I suppose.
I am slowly growing to like the dress she chose and will have to come to terms with it being copied and over publicised to high heaven. Karl Lagerfeld gave the veil a glowing review so I guess it just depends on personal preference. After all, I can say what I want without the world finding out (or caring) but Karl on the other hand, cannot.
