ABC's








A: Adventures
B: Boyfriend
C: Clothing
All of the above are a few of my favourite things!

1. Recent outfit to a management midterm this past week. It's amazing how many people you see wearing sweatpants just because there's an exam happening. Yes, post-secondary school is hard, but make it FUN with a cute, functional outfit! Wearing: Zara asymmetrical shirt (longer in the back with a neck/bottom zipper), American Eagle jeans, gifted scarf & Payless motorcycle boots.

2. Ring from H&M (they had a super cute snake bracelet there too. Nail colour is Naked by China Glaze (more pink in real life).

3. Another quick outfit snap. I apologize for the poor camera quality - I am desperately wanting to purchase a new one soon! Dark jeans by American Eagle, leopard flats from a boutique in Duncan, gifted scarf, Old Navy anorak.

4. An adventure through Delta, Richmond & Burnaby took Brandon and I over the Alex Fraser bridge. I let Brandon have the camera reigns on this one!

5. A little bit of hilarious background noise the night before my retail buying midterm. It was definitely a nice distraction from all the formulas!

6. Post-It notes on my notebook were a constant reminder of things I needed to know for my midterm! Thankfully they worked!

7. My handsome study buddy catching a glimpse at Bridesmaids on TV. Brandon made quizzes for me with content to study, and I had to fill in the blanks. He made it fun & a lot of the "tricks" he came up with helped me during the actual exam! Thank you!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week! My homework assignments are done, midterms are finished, laundry is caught up, and Sex & the City is to be watched (for about the billionth time)! I'm currently on the last disc of season 4. Good night!

Stripe City





Hiya, folks! How's your Tuesday been? It's almost Hump Day (you know, because Wednesday is the hump in the week we have to overcome, DUH). This morning I picked out a great outfit - I had a cute floral shirt, a cream coloured cardigan I borrowed (or rather took without asking...) from my sister, some cuffed skinny jeans & embellished flats. HOWEVER (this is the big part) - as soon as I put on the outfit, I couldn't find a flattering angle without having to hold pieces of my clothing. You know your outfit isn't right when you have to do that, or when you look at yourself IN the clothes and think, wow, I look like a whale. It just was NOT my day!

So, that's where this outfit was born. Not the outfit I had dreamed up before, but I felt cute in it & it works.
Outfit: Pure by Alfred Sung shirt, H&M scarf, Pashu skinny jeans & I wore embellished flats by Spring Shoes (not pictured).

And the pictures above: I picked up some essentials last night (as well as some kale, but that went unnoticed and into ma bellay), as well as some not-so essentials (eg, the nail polish, but it's on my toes now so it must've been a good investment)! I found some nail polish remover in my room the other day, and I'm almost positive it's a cheap dollar store brand. It barely dissolves the polish and makes it all gooey and gummy and any kind of cotton ball/pad, even tissue paper, crumbles apart - ergo why I bought some good ol' Wallyworld polish remover. Oh, and the toothbrush and pit stick is so I don't stink/stay so fresh, so clean ;) I mean, you can't be fashionable and smell like a dumpster.

Have a fabulous evening everyone! B & I are off to dinner tonight. Where? We're not too sure. Stay tuned!

PS. The dinner up there is a whole wheat flax seed bun with homemade Manhattan clam chowder & sauteed kale. Omg, so good. I made extra kale & threw it in my lunch time salad today!
