dscf4229

This month’s Vinyl Me Please record is “Lemon of Pink” from The Books on a yellow record with pink splattered. Inside the sleeve is also a 16-page book featuring new artwork and extensive liner notes by Nick Zammuto.

I’m not that familiar with this record but Vinyl Me Please hasn’t failed me yet!

Funko Suzanne

Oh my god, so I found FUNKOS for $4 at Dollarama! Though it’s possibly the most expensive thing you can buy at Dollarama, it is like $10 off the regular price.

I thought it was kind of crazy that nobody wanted Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren from Orange is the New Black.

She’s honestly one of the most original and complex characters on the show. Plus, she makes an adorable Funko!

Hopsooken Backpack

I was approached by Hopsooken to purchase a backpack on Amazon at a discounted price. $7.99 seemed like a deal for a backpack that could be compressed into a little pouch. I brought it with me on a few trips as an extra. When compressed, it’s like the size of a clutch.

Expanded, it is a pretty roomy backpack. The materials are very light, but at the same time it felt very artificial and cheap. The zippers were very unreliable and frequently got stuck. I wanted to like the backpack but it’s no good if I can’t close it!

Vinyl Me Please- August 2016 Edition

DSCF2459

This month’s Vinyl Me Please edition is a special paint splatter vinyl version of My Morning Jacket’s Z. It also comes with a print of the album cover  and a lyric book.

I was also lucky enough to receive the secret 7″ which is a new Amber Mark track. I can’t wait to see what I will get next month!

Dollarama Review: Fish Shower Curtain

IMG_4501

I haven’t written a Dollarama review in a while but I couldn’t resist posting about this fish shower curtain. The fish are so unbelievably derpy in their happiness.

The curtain itself is plastic and has metal rings, so it’s stronger than the one I accidentally ripped when I tripped in the shower. It is also slightly long for my shower and requires an extra ring.

This is guaranteed to bring you smiles every time you go into the washroom.

 

Headphone Storage

I needed some storage for my Beoplay H2 headphones so I decided to hit up Amazon. A lot of cases were over $50, but I did manage to find one for half the price by Geekria.

It came with a faux leather case and has a zipper pocket inside for all the wires.

My headphones fit perfectly!

Delicious Earrings

Picked up these adorable earrings at SappyFest.  Big Pony Halifax had a lot of adorable jewellery, clothes, pins and patches but these stood out as super on brand for me. I actually haven’t worn earrings in a while but I can’t wait to put these on.

Vinyl Me Please- July 2016 Edition

DSCF1889

This month’s Vinyl Me Please record is one I’m so excited to get: BADBADNOTGOOD’s IV. The exclusive edition is printed on double red vinyl and a yellow edition of the cover.

It also comes with a print by Vlad Sepetov.

It looks so beautiful on my player! This newly released album is one I would’ve bought if I didn’t get it through the club.

Beoplay H2 Headphones

DSCF1491

I fell in love with these BeoPlay H2 by Bang & Olufsen when I saw them online.

DSCF1492

The packaging was beautiful. There were a bunch of cute directions like “Pull me” “Lift Up” etc.

DSCF1493

The design of these headphones are so simple and elegant.

DSCF1494

I ordered mine in Shaded Rosa. The headphones are decorated with pink cloth accents and come with a pink cord.

DSCF1495

The ear pads are made out of a luxurious feeling lamb skin.

They are also decorated with giant L and R so I’ll never forget which side is which.

DSCF1498

The headphones adapt to the size of your head as you wear them. I was a bit afraid that my head would be too big (a comment that often comes up in reviews) but I have a gigantic head and don’t feel uncomfortable at all! There’s also an inline remote and volume control that work great on my iPhone and my MacBook Air.

DSCF1499

I’m super impressed by the quality of these earphones. The sound is warm and I can hear a lot of detail in the trebles which I find is something that is usually lacking in more bass heavy stuff on the market.

I’ve been into cool merch lately and I grabbed this interesting and slightly oversized hoodie from The Weeknd’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection. The giant hood lets me be an urban goth.

I like the cut. The hoodie is unisex so  it isn’t super fitted but has shape. The sleeves are super wide too in case you are like a body builder or something but it makes me look more goth.
