Christmas in November

The last hurrah in my home away from home and before we know it it will be twenty-fifteen

As per university traditions go, celebrating every single excuse of a holiday for at least a week, at least a week in advance (in this case a month) is something that will hit me faster than I will realize once "real life" begins.

This time, the start of finals also means the end of November- one step closer to Santa & his elves; just take a look at her expression of sheer excitement:



yeah, we're really festive!









-and of course, the mandatory Selfie

Happy Finals !!!!!

How I'm Dressed

My no-pants rule means one thing for winter: tights!

I could probably wear tights for the rest of my life. So many variations & colours & patterns! They just make an outfit look cuter than normal!

Her signature look: look back and smoulder

How We're Dressed

…for Fall
[October 24, 2013]

These photos are about a month and a half old, but it really feels like there shouldn't be snow on the ground yet, so I think these photos are a good representation of how the weather should be right now.

But actually, I love snow!!! sans ice. and I cannot wait till winter and christmas and having two months off before I move to another continent for four months!

For some reason I cannot stop raving over this photo...

Craziness. Pretty much feel like I'll be starting a brand new life.

How we're dressed





This adorable girl walked around campus on homecoming day selling these bows she made with her mom from a shoebox. The sheer effort of her cute (and entrepreneurial) diy was enough to make me want one!


...also celebrating homecoming makes me so excited to call myself alumni in just one and a half years!

How I'm dressed

My sister said I looked like a witch

Lesson learned that night: Buy tickets in advance

No matter how lazy you are, or what anyone says- just do it. Nothing bad ever came out of preparedness, anyway.

How I'm dressed

AA high-waist, Mexx pullover, H&M scarf, AE toggle coat

This song is perfection & the snow on the ground makes summer seem so far away

Suspend Your Disbelief

Lazy day outfit: american apparel leggings, shirt from parent's closet, gap beanie

But really, these leggings are one of the best investments I've made since I bought them. And I'm sure everyone has oversized button-up shirts lying all around their house- I found this in my parent's closet (yay for not spending the big $$) & when I wear it I always feel all artsy and whatnot. Dissatisfied with your button-up shirts? Knot them.

On an exciting note, I'm going to Beijing next winter for exchange!!!!




Why you so fabulous, girl?

Black Velvet

Firsts...

First outfit of the day post: January 12, 2013

I have to say, last night was pretty eventful. Eventful to say the least! There's a reason why everyone tells you to live away from home during your university years...

But to the point: I am wearing a black velvet (I know you can't tell from the photo but it really is!) dress (meant to be a shirt but I personally think this looks better) from one of my favourite Canadian retailers, Joe Fresh. It was a crazy steal, which makes me love it even more. And the rest is history.

Jeffrey Campbell booties

And honestly, these are the greatest pair of shoes to spend a night out in.

The end of the world, eh

Here's to a new year with new beginnings, real relationships, and bigger ambitions.

This semester has been a crazy mix of emotions, amazing & awful-

For now, I just need to get my head straight.

Can I please be legal already?
