Two thumbs up (not exactly the most unbiased review ever)
So they’re my baby brother’s band. The WZRDZ, my favourite band ever, put on a ridiculously magical live show. Have never laughed and danced and then kept laughing and dancing as much as I did when they played Lucky Bar in Victoria this weekend.
Wore my husband’s vintage Vancouver shirt, my vintage eel-skin bag and more bracelets than you can shake a wand at.
Didn’t rock my Gryffindor cape after all and I got reprimanded by a gentleman in a Harry Potter costume because of it (I won’t let you down next time, Elliott.).
Also wore my favourite boots. A few of you were asking where I found them (Nordstrom, last year) but I did see a similar pair by Sam Edelman at Freedman in Victoria this past weekend.
I also got a little crafty with my vintage jean jacket and sewed on a couple patches (the one above I found at Rugby in New York).
I know you’ve been sewing badges on things since you were in Brownies but I’m not as crafty as you are. Nor am I as magical.
Hocus pocus, friends, I cannot wait ’til the WZRDZ play Vancouver!

always awesome to watch someone you know rock out

yeah for WZRDS – sounds like fun!
hooray also for patches – they rule. like that one on the shoulder you got. I remember sewing these on EVERYTHING when i was in highschool – backpacks, cardigan sweaters, hats. Best way to personalize, besides bedazzling anyways.

Nadia — watching someone you know perform is the best thing ever, isn’t it?
Liv — thanks for reminding me. I wonder if my ma still has my bedazzler in storage.
Bruce — can’t wait to see videos from the show!
Naaz — thank you! Can’t wait until they play in Vancouver.

CC — thanks! I’m such a proud big sis.

Now that you mentioned it, I’ll definitely sew on some patches in one or a couple of my denim jackets. I kind of get bored of them at times so yes, patches will definitely do the trick.

you look way too cute. i love it. what kind of music does your bro’s band play? are they available for download?

Leah — customizing a jacket with patches (or elbow pads, which I just added to a tweed jacket) makes it feel new and exciting, doesn’t it?
Gerri — if only I had any sort of musical talent to really rock out
Frank&Remy — I found that little star patch at Dressew in Vancouver
Alinka — thank you!
Cafe — vowels are so last year, aren’t they?
Dapper -red is the best colour for accessories, isn’t it?
Haute — thank you for passing on that award! You’r too kind!
Bri — thanks for adding me to your blog roll! Loooove your blog!
Erin — The WZRDZ are electronica dance rock (hilarious, but true). Don’t think they have anything available for downloading yet, but I’ll let you know when they do!
