Beginnings

I'm finally back in the blogging world after taking a break for over two months. So much has happened, I've finally graduated and have recieved my official letter of graduation. (You have no idea how many times I have woken up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thinking that I failed a course or forgot to take a required course). I also just got back from a one week trip in Cuba! 

I'm excited for all my future posts... but they're still a work in progress. So today I'm uploading a OOTD from three months ago that I forgot to post. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

The Neglected Child- Maroon 5/AX3 Battery/ Marimekko, With Love

It's been almost a month since I've done a post.  This blog has become my neglected child.  And the sad thing is that I don't even feel bad.  It's been really hectic with school as it is my last semester of my last year in university so that is going to be my main focus for the next 2 months. I'll be back though! Until then, here are a couple of things that happened this month.

Maroon 5

I poured my heart out to Adam Levine by singing "I won't go home without you". That asshole left without me. Not sure if he got my wedding proposal either.

AX3 Battery

I've never been interviewed before, so when AX3 Battery, a magazine based out of Vancouver approached me to do a feature on their website I was flattered.  Shout out to Deb for reaching out to me :) You can check it out here.

eShakti Review

A while back eShakti approached me to do a review for their product and company.  This was really exciting because eShakti allows you to customize certain things like sleeve length, dress length, and small design details such as collars and necklines at reasonable prices.  This option is especially great for petite or plus sized ladies that don't fit the standard sizes.

I ordered this dress with my custom measurements due to my lack of chest. I also kept the pockets and decided to have the length right above my knee because it makes me look just that much taller.

P.S This dress wasn't available when I ordered mine but I thought this was super cute and screams Mad Men/ garden party.

Finish the Verse

I've never been a huge fan of musicals, so when my momma wanted to go see Les Miserables I didn't know what to expect.  I found the movie and bit lengthy therefore allowing plenty of time for my imagination to run wild. 

I spent most of my time...
1. Playing finish the verse with myself. 
2. Imagining how much better life would be if we all sang as opposed to speaking. Think of all the sensitive situations we can diffuse by bringing out that falsetto. Breakups would be more entertaining and lectures may or may not be more interesting.

Overall it was a decent movie, but if I had to choose a version, it would definitely be this one.

Thought I would throw in pictures of my recent nails.  Not sure where you can purchase this in America but Essie Fair Game is pretty close to the blue grey that came with the set!

 

Cream Puffs and Snot

How disgusting is this weather? I had to walk 15 minutes today because the streetcar was delayed. It was so cold that even my snot froze. TMI? You're welcome.

I know it's been out forever, but I recently watched Wreck-It Ralph with momma bear. It's a pretty cool concept having all these video game characters come together (reminds me of the Avengers).  When a friend asked if I recognized any of the characters/ got the references, I was like ... um Pacman? Who doesn't know Pacman though? Oh wait! There was another one. BEARD PAPA. It's pretty sad when the only other character you recognize has to do with food.

 Mango Cream Puff from Beard Papa. It truly is orgasmic.

Too Much Time!

Yes, I'm still milking these are old pictures taken in Vancouver. I've been back for a little over a week and I have yet to do an outfit post. Nail posts are also rare as I've been Shellac-ed for the first time.  It is absolutely appalling when I wake up in the morning to find no bed sheet marks on my nails.  I'm also used to doing my nails once every four days...what am I going to do with all my time now? 

How about watching the 18 television shows that I currently follow. I'm not even kidding. I had to list them all out just to make sure I wouldn't forget/miss anything. Also, the shows listed are currently airing (I seriously can't wait until Dexter, True Blood, and Game of Thrones returns). What are you guys currently watching?

Back To Reality

I got back to Toronto a couple days ago and let me tell you, a 3 hour time difference takes a toll on the body. What can I say? I'm old. So school starts on Monday 8am (barfs). It will be the first day of the last semester of University for me.  I can't believe almost four years have gone by. In a couple of months I'll have so much time on my hands that I won't know what to do with it. I hope Youtube has more cat videos by then.

Rose Gold

These are old pictures of an outfit that I wore to a Christmas Eve family party.  I also had my hair back then.  I've been waiting for a special occasion to wear this dress. It's super sparkly and it feels like you're wearing a robe as opposed to a dress. Made me feel right at home!

I'm spending my last two days in Vancouver, so my next post would most likely be from Toronto. Hope ya'll have a lovely week!
