Get Shopping http://www.mocking-bird.org/blog/2009/09/30/life-unsettled-get-shopping/ http://www.mocking-bird.org/blog/2009/09/30/life-unsettled-get-shopping/#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:32:33 +0000 Amanda http://www.mocking-bird.org/blog/?p=546 I‘ve discovered the secret to feeling unsettled and unsure of oneself. Shopping. I’ve known shopping was a cure for many things before but never had I realised how comforting it can be when your life is unsettled and upside down. I’m enjoying the newness of my life in Vancouver, but shopping is helping with the feelings of rootlessness.

My 2 new favourite stores are Aritzia and Plen+y. I have known of Aritzia for a long while but Plen+y is new to me and full of fabulous clothing to keep me excited for a while.

Aritzia have this awesome program where they feature different photographers’ work on their storebags. I was excited to discover that the gorgeous shots gracing my store bag were by one of my flickr contacts, yyellowbird! Read more about her on their blog.

Excited by shopping..sad, but true.

I’m headed to Broadway and 4th next week to check out the funky, independent stores.

Check out more of yyellowbird’s gorgeous photography at her blog.

p.s. I’m participating in Susannah Conway’s Unravelling course over the next month. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get stuck into it. Click the Unraveller link in the sidebar to find out more about her courses.

p.p.s Just got myself a new scanner, so film + polaroids and I are back in business! Woo!
