wool and lace

cardigan - mum's closet :)
lace top - american apparel
tank top - h&m
jeans - urban outfitters
belt - h&m
shoes - aldo
stopwatch necklace - forever 21
rings (l-r) - forever 21, aldo, h&m

Chose this outfit for school today, and my favourite thing about it is my mum's cozy cardi thrown on top! I also attempted galaxy nails once again, and they didn't turn out as well as they did when I did them about a month ago, but I still think they're pretty neat!  They're a lot more glittery in real life and I found myself staring at them in class instead of taking notes today. Yes, I am easily distracted!

I had class at noon and then spent a couple of hours in the editing lab at school working on my next television package about winter fashions - love the topic but it's not turning out as well as I had hoped it would.  So now I'm feeling frazzled and grumpy and can't wait to crawl into bed and sleep for (hopefully) at least 12 hours!

It's my friend's birthday party tonight and they're doing dinner and then going out to a club, but since I can't eat out and have so much work/feel like garbage, I'm going to head home and stay in to do some writing, have a nice cup of tea and head to bed early.


Oh, and we had some snow today, which made me the happiest girl for about five minutes until it stopped. The first snow fall of autumn/winter is probably my favourite day of the whole year! :)


Good night!

So I've been absent from the internet for just about a month now - I wasn't posting regularly and just needed a break from a lot of things to clear my head and focus on my real life! I had some blog issues with all my photos disappearing a while ago so rather than try to salvage anything, I deleted most of my older posts and am starting fresh.

Here's what I wore today:

fringed tank top - urban outfitters
jeans - urban outfitters
booties - aldo

I absolutely love this outfit. I got the tank top last night in the sales at Urban Outfitters and with my gift card it ended up being free, which made my day. I don't care what anyone says, I love the fringe! The photos are crap quality because I took them on my way out the door with my MacBook, but I'm wearing my new lace-up heel booties from Aldo that I am completely in love with. I went to my foot doctor this week and she basically told me to scrap all of my shoes except for my runners, and told me to buy a pair of substantial heeled booties for times when I couldn't wear my running shoes. So my mum bought me these ones, and I got a lovely satchel that I shall post about tomorrow as well!

I suppose I should do a quick life update now:

School has been going so well this term. I've been keeping really busy with my school work but I'm not overly stressed about getting anything done, which is a lovely change for me. I have about one month left until winter break; I just can't figure out where the time has gone! Today flew by, it's insane.

Health-wise I am still going for tests to figure out what is up with my body. I had an important doctor's appointment this week that was neither very positive or negative or conclusive, just more tests, but I'm hanging in there. Since I can't eat much, I've become a total tea-drinking addict - I suppose life could be worse!

I've taken up some new hobbies. I've been working out a bit more often, and am trying to fix myself into a routine of going at least three times a week. I've also learned how to play the guitar, which is something that I've always wanted to do but never really had time for. The fingers on my left hand are actually a bit callousy from the strings, which I love!

I've been spending more time with my college friends who I hadn't been seeing very often or who I had lost touch with after I moved away for uni. Spent Halloween with them and had an absolute blast.


Off to the gym now, hope everyone has been well! <3

scarf (worn as turban) - forever 21 girls
top - h&m
jeans - urban outfitters
belt - h&m

I wore and photographed this on Friday but I went home for the weekend so I'm only getting around to posting now. It was so lovely outside on Friday so I decided to dress for what I thought was sunny and warm weather, although most people I passed on the street had jackets on. Oh well! I am only now becoming a fan of jeans again after a couple of years of nothing but high-waist leggings. I've lost a few pounds with all of the medical stuff that's been going on so I'm realizing that clothes are fitting better and are much more comfortable now!

After class on Friday I went to study with my friend Shannon. Studying turned into makeup shopping, and she got some great new things, including a new Chanel foundation. I have absolutely no money to spend on cosmetics at the moment so I lived vicariously through her purchases! While we were attempting to study, a creepy older looking student approached us and asked if we would watch his laptop for two hours. After we told him no and explained we wouldn't be around studying for that long, he mumbled some strange things and after asking him to repeat himself it turns out he didn't even go to our school and was saying to me "I want to eat your boyfriend. I'm jealous of your boyfriend and would eat your boyfriend." We thought that strange encounter gave us all the more reason to abandon our studies for shopping! I still haven't stopped laughing about how bizarre the whole thing was.

This week isn't looking like it will be too hectic, which is such a lovely change from the past few weeks. I had a feature profile due today and decided to focusing on the blogging industry for men, so I interviewed Spencer Edwards of ProprPostur about his blog. Besides that I just have some readings and an essay to start on, which is great because I feel like I'm coming down with something. As I type this I am wearing head-to-toe fleece with my hood up; looking lovely I'm sure!

Hope all is well with everyone!
