I am very tired today lovelies so this post is going to be a quickie :). I took these photos on thursday and as you can see the snow is melting!!!! So exciting i cannot wait for warmer weather already, this winter seems to be dragging on and on and on. I bought this shirt on my shopping trip last week, i had been searching for a good plaid shirt a thrift stores for a very long time with no luck until this baby!! They really are so versatile, i am still searching for the perfect black and red plaid one though. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Friday Faves 01

While looking through my archives for my 100th post i discovered i used to post my favourite looks from other bloggers which i had completely forgotten about. I know alot of bloggers do something like this but i really want to have a regular weekly feature and i figured you can never get to much inspiration!! Some of these photos have been saved on my computer for a very long time and others i just discovered more recently. Enjoy!

The lovely Helen from Bits and Bobs tagged me for the Stylish Blogger Award (thankyou so much go check out her blog everyone!!!). So as part of the award i am supposed to share some things about me now i think there were supposed to be seven points but i got completely stumped at five, does anyone else find those hard to do? Anywho here they are!

1. Nineties Tv Shows

Beverly Hills 90210 (old version), Dawsons Creek, Freaks and Geeks, Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc you name i am totally obsessed old tv shows! Laughing at the clothing choices is definitely part of the appeal :)

2. I only ever paint my nails black

I can never remember to repaint my nails, so i find it so much easier to paint them black and then i don't have to worry about any clashing colours!!

3. I have never dyed my hair

There was one incident with Sun-In one summer which turned my hair a bit reddish but other then that i have never highlighted or dyed my hair.

4. I never wear... ear rings

When i was thirteen i had this huge obsession with ear rings. The bigger, longer, flashier they were the better (looking back at photos now is just torture they look awful!!). This lasted for about a year until i got one caught in my hair at school. After that i decided i hated how they looked on me and stopped wearing them. I think the only time i have worn any since that was my sisters wedding!!

5. Favourite Junk Food

Oh i just love Cheetos i always always want these when i am feeling sad or depressed, all of the artificial flavours are just soooooo yummy and comforting :).

Now i was supposed to pick seven blogs to give this award to but I have alot of homework to finish tonight and pretty much the whole weekend so i am going to give it to three blogs i have discovered recently and totally love to read :). I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

What You Don't Have Now Will Come Back Again

Leather Jacket: Winners (Gift), Dress: H&M $15, Leggings: H&M $15, Clock Necklace: Thrift $5, Necklace: Ardenes $5, Braclets: $3 each, Rings: Ardenes, Boots: Spring $41

I took these photos on friday when i could actually wear my leather jacket without freezing to death and i must say it is so nice to have extra photos just lying around to use!! I generally just take photos of my outfit and post the same day so this was a fab change since i don't feel to good today (upset stomach...ugh). It was so so so windy while i took them, there were some very comical shots with my hair everywhere and my dress blown up Marilyn Monroe style. I bought the dress and leggings on my shopping trip last week, i generally like all black leggings or tights so these were a big change!! I can't say my families reaction was particularly positive, the general response was "wow they are quite busy eh" oh well i can't say they really ever like what i wear. Does anyone else seriously love long sleeved mini dresses, as someone who is always cold the extra warmth is definitely appreciated. Hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Nothing's Made To Last These Days

Coat: Thrift $27, Shirt: Thrift $4, Leggings: DIY Stiches $10, Boots: Aldo $59, Scarf: borrowed from my mom

Hello everybody, for the last few days a friend of mine came up to visit me which was quite exciting and we were rather busy which explains my blogging abscence!!! i am terribly behind on blog updates and replying to comments i hope to catch up over the next few days :). We took these photos a couple of days ago after walking around downtown. I wasn't wearing any eye makeup because i had a optometrist appointment so i was little wary about taking pictures (i love my liquid eyeliner alot) but i didn't mind the outcome! i am wearing the grey boots i mentioned in the last post which i decided to keep, they are the most comfortable things to walk in which totally won me over. We went shopping yesterday so i have some lovely new things to show you, it is seriously a good thing i don't live closer to that H&M, i would have absolutely no money!! I am super tired today we managed to watch an entire season of Dawsons Creek (seriously love that show) during her visit so i didn't get to much sleep!! I hope everyone had a lovely week!!!

We're The Wild Type

Blazer: Thrift $4, Tshirt: Bluenotes $7, Skirt: H&M $7, Tights: Ardenes $3, Boots: Aldo, Rings & Bracelets: Ardenes

As you can see i love my biker boots and have been wearing them pretty much constantly since i got them!! Actually i ordered another pair of similar grey ones which fit and everything but i don't know if i am sold on the colour, it's a lightish grey so i might do a return or keep post on them because i need help deciding!!!! I got my hair fixed on thursday, it is still quite uneven (ugh) but not quite as gappingly obvious as before. I just want to thank everyone for the lovely comments on my hair, i never wore it up because i have a very round face so that was totally out of my comfort zone, they really meant so much to me!!! These are terrible hair photos though, i was visiting my aunt and uncle which is where i took the photos and played on their Wii (there was this dancing game thingie sooooo much fun) for about two hours so it was completely dishevelled. My Iron Man tshirt is my absolute favourite and i will let you in on my dirty little secret that i am completely geeky at heart and obsessed with superhero action movies. I bought this one in the summer but at some point i want to get the whole collection, Batman, Superman, Spiderman you name it :). I decided that i should use a name on my blog because i haven't up until this point (i can't go by prettyniftythriftyfashion girl forever!!) on my email account i use my middle name so i thought i would do the same here (it's Elizabeth). I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!!

Moats And Boats And Waterfalls

Blazer: Thrift $4, Dress: Thrift $2, Scarf: super old, Tights: Ardenes $3, Boots: Aldo $52, Belt: Thrift $2

Brrrrr i felt so cold while i took these photos, i literally lasted five minutes and ran immediately inside!! But i was really happy that i had enough photos to make a post, i have been in a little bit of a slump lately with taking pictures and making outfits, i just can't seem to put anything together that i like. Tomorrow i finally get my hair fixed (the whole hair story is in the last post)!!! The salon had weird hours and whenever i went they were closed (yup i swear it was just to annoy me more) so i had to call and make a appointment so they can fix the front. I hate doing that kindof stuff, if it was tiny bit off i wouldn't care but it is quite noticeable and will only take them a few minutes to even up so whatever. I was totally obsessed with this posts song a year ago, i randomly heard it again and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I hope everyone had a lovely day!!

P.S If you have a question you would like to ask i have formspring, i think i have answered just one on there, so ask away!!!

You Won't Decieve Me, And I Find It Easy

Blazer: Thrift $4, Dress: Thrift $6, Scarf: Gift, Tights & Socks: $3 each, Boots: Spring $42

I finally got the hair cut i been mentioning for about ever. I seriously hate getting my hair cut and this one just added to that feeling about a hundred million times. It cost a absolute fortune and there is literally a chunk of hair missing from the front on the right side. I didn't notice it to much until i washed my hair a few days later but i wanted small front layers and the left side looks nice but on the right two inches higher then the rest of my hair is this massive diagonal cut, it looks awful!! i really am just devasted i put off getting it cut for so long and is a disaster. Tomorrow i am going back to the god damn salon and getting them to fix it becuase there is no bloody way i am paying someone else to fix their mistake because it is beyond just a bit noticeable. By the time it gets fixed and evened up all of the length i had will be gone, ugh you had better believe i am never going to that craptastic place again. Sorry about the rant, it's just i am attached to my hair and long hair in general so this is just a little upsetting. I love this blazer it is one of the first thrifted things i bought at my favourite store and it is Le Chateau whose clothes i just love but can never afford so the four dollar price tag was such a bargain!!! I think i have mentioned this before but red and black is my absolute favourite colour combination. I am finding it really hard to wear any colour lately, black seems to suit my mood better. It's probably the weather i am not looking foreward to another two months of snow!! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend :).

Let's Do The Panic Tonight

Sweater: Value Village $6, Vest: Gift, Leggings: Gift, Gloves: borrowed from my mom, Scarf: Gift, Boots: Aldo $52

Right after i finished typing out where everything in this outfit was from i realized most of it was free!! I love when that happens or if i make a all thrifted outfit, i always feel so economical :). I was so disappointed yesterday as i realized one of the studs on my boots had come off ALREADY, i mean i just wore the bloody things once and they are already breaking, soooo disappointing. I am hoping to find some similar studs in a craft shop to replace it and then i can totally pimp them out even more if i want to. This outfit is a little plain but it's my lazy day/ feeling the cold staple. The fur lined vest and mustard sweater are some of the warmest things i own, add in my american apparel winter leggings and it is a very cozy outfit . I also wore another wool sweater underneath to take these photos because the wind was down right bone chilling!!! I keep meaning to take photos of my complete winter outfit that includes hat, mitts, scarf, coat etc. because i do wear those things over the outfits in my photos. Generally i just take the pictures in my backyard so i run out there holding my camera/tripod and make little dashes back inside when i get cold. Last night i went to the theater and saw No Strings Attached, it was cute like all chick flicks are, Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher were adorable together. A little predictable but i would recommend it if you want a slightly dirty cute movie to watch. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!
