W E E K E N D

This weekend consisted of good food, great friends and an absolute guarantee that school is back in session. This is a remix of a song that I love by The Virgins called Rich Girl that's been my tune of choice, I found this mix on SoundCloud. 

Saturday

After the first long week of being back at school I was quite happy that my friend decided to host her post 21st birthday at a lovely little place downtown. I threw on a comfy pair of XXI jeans, a little bag from H&M and a beautiful black silk blouse from Zara. Paired with my over-worn boots from XXI, I went to get the best mac&cheese in Gastown with my lovely friend Catherine. We then made our way over to the Diamond for drinks with some great company.. 

Sunday

I started my day with seeing Catherine for brunch, where she made some excellent french toast and had an array of Keurig coffee cups for me to choose from (I went for the Rain forest Blend). I went home, prepared my fits for the week and read a page of "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" by Richard Carlson. This little book has 100 things that you shouldn't "sweat" about, and the lessons usually make me feel insightful and like I've actually learned something that I can apply to my everyday life.

Oh my, Beautiful

When I was in New York earlier this month I laid my eyes upon this magnificent piece of leather.

Though in the store it was 25% off, I was convinced that it was not worth the money. After being home for about a month I decided that I could not live without it and made a purchase on katespade.com. Let me tell you, this is one that I have no regret about.

It's called the Stacy Cherry Lane wallet and it comes in a variety of colors, I just happened to choose black because I'm classic and slightly boring like that (ha ha). It took me a while to realize that the inside of this wallet is a midnight color opposed to black, which I have no problems with. I think the textured surface is interesting and easy to feel for inside of my handbag. 

There are 12 card holders, one clear for ID and four for cash/receipts etc. I like that there is only one zip pouch which is on the back of the wallet but the only issue I have with the pocket is that the zip is huge. I mean, it isn't a major set back but I think it looks slightly out of proportion. Another thing about this wallet that I am not used to is the fact that there is only one button closure to keep it closed. It is something that I've got to get used to having but again, not a major set back.

Overall, I think I'd give this wallet a 9/10. Seriously, no flaws and all glory.

I FORGOT TO MENTION
