More then 5 min?


So here we are today. I am hungry. I could go make food but I am not hungry enough to. Or it may be that I am too lazy to make something. It seems that I may have come accustom to instant gratification food. Now if you are thinking to yourself what is instant gratification food? All you have to do is walk over to your fridge and open it. It is more then likely that if you are not a starving Ethiopian that your fridge is filled with over priced packaged food that will take less the 5 min to make. Come on now 10 min is way too long! I mean I cold um Serf facebook endlessly for no reason in that time. So here I am sitting in front of the computer hungry but not enough to put any real effort into solving that problem. Mmm sounds a bit like how most people treat global issues. We care about them, feel bad about it all and talk or friends’ ear off about it but that is where it stops. Now I am more then guilty of it. Somehow just talking about it and playing a half ass violin solo is more them enough for the average person. Some how I do not think this will solve anything. But who am I to say. Mmm I think I will go make something to eat.

Start with Kilts end with Music!


Hello Everyone again, haha it is funny saying "everyone" when no one has even read this blog. Oh sorry, 1 person has read it, you know who you are :P. As of late Scotland has come up in conversation many times in the last week-ish. Mostly to do with music and kilt, or more to the matter men in kilts. Now i have heard countless people call them skirts. There not. You where nickers under a skirt and as many of you out there know scottish men seem to have a thing for going commando. Though at time it would seem a wise idea too. But back to my point. As I see it there is nothing more manly then a kilt.  well a stubbly beard, Oh a good business suit.... Oh I'm way off topic here. Yes besides kilts there has been talk of bagpipe music. Now i have heard it all "it sounds like a dead cat with a pipe stuck up its bum"  well there are more that is just my favorite one. Now as a person that likes bagpipe music and is learning to play the bagpipe (its halal) I feel the need to vindicate this wonderful music. There are some vary good bands out there. One that comes to mind is a traditional modern group called Albannach. All you wont to do when you hear there music (that is 100% halal) is stand up grab your claymore and dance all night. Well maybe not dance with a claymore, I do not wont to be seeing lots of people walking around missing bits. It is vary easy to cut someone even if it is blunted. I have more then once, But that was in fencing class and they blocked with there arm as I went in for a strike. It was an accident, but boy does it scare you the first time. I think i spent all class saying sorry to her. Where was i again? Ah yes, Good bagpipe music. There is also a rock band that has used them a few times called Dropkick Murphys out of Boston (rock group). I will post some links. Mmh I wonder if the Kilt Lifters (ska) use bagpipes? I... can't remember. With a name like that you would assume. I will have to find my CD. Pleas note that the last two bands I have mentioned are not ummm what you would call angles... ya. Now from this you may think that Im only into rock/punk/ska. That is not the case. I all so like reggae and many many others. ....though not country. There is only so much a person can take! I mean really talk about a pipe up a dead cats bum. Sorry, I did say I liked that one.  Oh I should also add in Needfire into that. They are Celt rock group. Oh look at the time I'm off to bed. Bye oh and I somehow added this background colour and can't get rid of it. haha. Here is the Albannach link. And Dropkick Murphys link

Pindsey is stepping out so to say.

Hello all this is pindsey. Am I evan spelling that right? Well probly not and it would be easy to check but~ ... that would mean I would have to go all the way to google and search out a blog . haha.  Just joking I am not that lazy. After all what is a edit button for if not to use it? So I should start out saying what this will all be about. I am not a scholar or a fashionista but I am a bit out in left field so that should help my case. Just as a warning to you all I am a bad speller so if a word pops up in the middle of a sentience that you go "say what now", It is dew to my heavy reliance on spell checker. Oh so where was I? Oh yes what this will be about! The answer is I Have No Clue! This should be fun. 
I have been wondering though if other people out there go to LOL Cats at 3am and look at comedic pics of kitting riding air bikes or contemplating celling cat? No? Really... I guess I really am a crazy cat lady in the making. Well Since that is settled I will watch Cute With Chris after posting this. Then I am going to search out Non Milk recipes to yummy food that is easy to make. Heck I may evan post a few recipes and if I remember what I make the food I may take a pic of the not so hopefully burnt food. I just need to find the new flash drive that I lost after I lost the first one.  Oh I should post a Pic of what the food should look like with the recipe before i make it, and remember its not what it looks like but what is on the inside that counts. Same with people! On the Hole and Hole my inside are squishy and a bit squishy... what you thought I was going to say something ells? Ok well that is it for my first post. The Crazy Cat Lady is calling "~put oOoon yoOoour cloOooOgs~"

Birthday Spots and Stripes

I didn't get to go out on my birthday last weekend because I was feeling quite under the weather (great timing huh? Sheesh!), so I went out this Saturday instead with my mother and sister for dinner and a round of mini-golf. Here's the outfit I wore:


Vintage Leopard Print Dolman Sleeve Blouse - Etsy, Brown Cinch Belt - Thrifted, Black Cami - Unknown, Pinstriped Full Skirt - Express, T-Bar Sandals - Old Navy


Oh yeah, I got a fringe cut a few weeks ago and it was a spur of the moment decision actually. I was flipping through an old magazine that my hairdresser had in the room and I saw a model with a fringed hairdo which I thought looked cool so I decided I'd get one as well. Unfortunately, it looks a little weird in the pic below because the wind was blowing it out all night.




When it comes to birthday gifts, people tend not to know what to get me unless I let them know specifically, so most just usually end up giving me money - which, of course, is A-OK with me!

After a very long, seemingly hopeless search for affordable shoes in my size (11/12) that I actually like, I finally found these two pairs which I purchased with the money I received. Can't wait till they arrive!



Fitzwell Fanny
Price: US$69.00


I am also eagerly anticipating the arrival of some recently purchased items from Love Colour- Love Tights (Thanks Marian!), Etsy and Ebay - here are a few of my favourite purchases below.



Pleated Bolero from konane



Vintage Griffin Belt Buckle from 5andDime



Black Long Drapey Open-front Thingie from cotton fields




Floral and Striped Tights from Love Colour, Love Tights.



Vintage Diamond-Shaped Sunglasses from Forever Vintage Sunglasses


Woohoo! I love birthdays, especially milestones like the 21st. Hopefully people will still care about me this much when I'm 30.

Speaking of caring, I can always count on my lovely friends in the blogosphere to make me feel appreciated. I recently received the Cute's Blogger and the Your Blog is Fabulous awards from Hiking in Stilettos and Searching the Inner Me, respectively. Thanks so much ladies!

Sale Alert - Akira

How is it that I have never come across this store, Akira, before? Has it been under a rock this whole time? (or have I?)

My first instinct was to keep my newfound discovery all to myself with the fervent possessiveness of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. However, after realizing that it actually is impossible to buy everything they have in stock and that other people most likely already know about it anyway, I decided I'd pass on this sale info to you lovely readers.

For anyone else who has never heard of it before, here's a little bit of info on the store. Akira is a Chicago-based store that offers a wide range of Women's and Men's Clothing, Footwear, and Accessories from well known labels as well as up-and-coming designers. Akira also has a private label that is described as "the perfect way to get a fashion forward look without paying a designer price."

Akira is currently having a sale where you can get 30% off selected Women's clothing and it's insane the kind of items they have at such low prices! What I've listed below is just a very small selection of the clothing available. There were just too many stylish and affordable items - on sale and at regular prices - to list here.



Akira Waist Tie Tunic
Price: US$25.20



Steve Madden Rytz Shoe
Price: US$67.20





Akira Lavish Dress
Price: US$45.60



Akira Oxford Trim
Price: US$44.40





Ben Sherman Arden Skinny Trousers
Price: US$77.40


Click here to visit the Akira home page and click here to check out what other items they have on sale!

Also, in other good news, my birthday is coming up on Sunday (the big 2-1)! I won't be having a party or any huge affair but I'll probably be going out somewhere. I'll try to locate a camera and post photos of whatever outfit I wear :)
