Restart & Backup an #ootd

I've purposely kept you all waiting for another blog post. 

It's been a pretty packed schedule ever since the Fall semester wrapped itself up, but that being said it wrapped up quite nicely with a pretty little bow and lots of confetti sparkles. After my amazing birth week ended (a 7 day event of the being of my 21 years of existence on this planet which included seeing all my close friends, cake, drinks and more) there were errands to do, emails to read and cleaning to be done. Now that most of that is taken care and Christmas is over I can do a little me time before the Spring semester commences. 

Enough talk about my current life situations, today was a lovely day in the city (no rain!) with Angela & Kate (click their names to check their insta's). We drank a couple cups of coffee, wandered throughout gastown & railtown, and obvs took some photos for the blog. These girls keep me sane, show them some love. 

Here's a cool song, give it a listen & show my Soundcloud some love.

Happy almost 2016.

Positive thoughts only an #ootd

I'm not exactly a natural born net-worker, but I've recently began to pull together different moments from the past three years of my life that have happened due to the connections I've made with my peers and faculty. Sometimes I think people pursuing an education forget that their professors are the first connection to industry and that their peers are second. I was lucky enough to make a friend who connected me with an industry level job this summer, I have a good shot at getting my work practicum placement at the 1st company of my choice because of another amazing friend and earlier this summer I got to experience an educational adventure in New York and Italy because of a faculty suggestion.

The other day my friend said to me, (loosely phrased like this) "It's because I'm friends with you that I know people in all 4 of the years of this degree." I feel so accomplished when I receive comments like this. I just feel like i'm meant to do this even more.

You know it's shot on an iPhone when

"The only thing I smoke is my competition" an #ootd

The ruthlessness of an ENTJ spirit isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it acts as a strength, I look at idols in my life such as Kelly Cutrone or Sophia Amoruso and think, they really didn't know what the future would hold for them, they saw a path, created opportunity and took it. I've been trying hard not to plan too far ahead and to create opportunity and use who I know and what I know to bring me further. That's my current thought bubble.

Classic pink shirt. 

This is the first late night of the semester. If we talked on the phone tonight, thanks for keeping me procrastinated.

This weekend I finally saw my little sass nugget and it was terrific. She took me on a little tour of the city she grew up in and we ate some yummy food and drank lots of Starbucks, I helped her pick out some makeup and we discussed all things blogging and it was nice to catch up since the last time we saw each other was in May!

Little Kate has a lovely blog CLICK HERE so check it out. She is just a little trendy fashion chick who has a really cool style that she blogs about.

where am I now an #ootd

Harlowe and Graham Top, Coach bag, XXI sunnies, Boots from Hudson's Bay (don't remember the actual brand)

So while shopping for a few specific things on the weekend I hadn't realized that it's been a long time since I've been to a mall. This is due to the $damage$ I did in New York in May (read about it here). And while shopping, I graced a couple very sweet compliments. The lady at Aldo liked my top, A LOT, the lady at Sephora told me she loved my eyeliner and the woman working the the dugstore told me she liked my bold lip color...Uhm thank you kinda people who still exist in this world <33
It really is about the little things in life.

Anyhow, this is what I wore. How are you all doing?

When it rains, it pours an #ootd

A very old school ootd , if you look back on last year I used to do all my OOTD posts like this! Just to change it up here is what I wore on the weekend.

I usually don't mind the rain. It actually rains a lot where I live and summer rain I especially love because although I love the sun, I'm not such a big fan of the heat. Having some rain was nice...Even if it is in July..And I missed wearing black. Duh

Post-Canada Day and #ootd

Hello friends, if you care at all, I live in the land of which they call Canada. And on July 1st I spend the day celebrating Canada day with my gal Ruhina a.k.a. laruehina.wordpress.com

Here is what I wore...

Top, Zara; Bottoms, Talula Leggings; Sandals, XXI; Bag, Coach; Sunnies, XXI

The usual.

We've kind of had a Canada day tradition for about 4 or 5 years now. We meet up at Rue's hang for a bit, go to 7/11 and stock up on candy, ice cream, sometimes we get coffee. Then we watch the mediocre fireworks that happen close by. We never really faffed around with going to the fancy ones downtown, we are simple people, and I mean...Fireworks are fireworks. We also tried to film a June Favorites video...Oh the laughs, I'm not sure if it will ever be seen but it was a new memory that I'm lucky to share with her. 

I took a few pictures from our evening, and the tradition lives on. 

She is wearing the Red Sephora Cream Lip Stain, and I am wearing Ruby Woo by MAC

Here we have the 7/11 candy stash

Just felt artsy to be honest.

Original but still so magical
