i love a boy in a whole 'nother language

Wearing Geox flats, Marciano dress, American Apparel jumper, unknown tights, Aldo hat, Ray Ban Wayfarers, Burberry bag, gifted jewelry.
















The other day my best friend sent me dozens of photographs, half b/w and half colour, and asked me to pick which ones I liked the best. Despite the fact that most of the photographs made more sense in colour, I immediately picked b/w. I've started to realize that I make most of my photographs black and white, and I don't even have a decent explanation, apart from "it looks better black and white". I think there's something so much more mysterious about a photograph that has lost its colour, so much more thought and imagination has to be put into the description.

I happened to choose an all black and white outfit the other day (well my jumper has blue stripes), and conveniently found that my photos didn't have to be colour to showcase the clothing.

My bag is my new prize possession. After working all summer I thought it only right to treat myself to something that I could use for a long time. This Burberry bag is such a classic, the perfect size, and simply the most amazing thing that I currently own. I swoon just looking at it.

(You can swoon too if you want).

Hope you all have wonderful Monday's.

(Ps. I'm slightly addicted to this video. The song is meh, but the video is too adorable for words.)

Hello hello hello! I am back!

The past few of weeks have been incredibly busy and blogging was just not an option. I feel like neglecting to post was a horrible thing to do, but now that I'm back, I'm glad I had that nice hiatus.

Anyways. Another school year has started, and third year of university is looking be be completely different than I expected, in a good way though. I'm incredibly excited for all the new classes I have, all the new people I'll meet, and all the experiences and special moments I'll have.

This Levi's jacket has been my go-to article of clothing this week. I've worn it so many times already, but I can't help it. I wish I could own it in a bunch of other colours because of how handy it is. I especially like that the little pockets on the side fit my Blackberry in perfectly.

I'm off to go do some readings, buy some books, and enjoy the rest of my first week back at school. Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Absent Without Leave

Aunt's dress. Minnentonka moccasins. Gap tee. Gifted jewelry.

I've been AWOL for quite a while, but I can honestly say that it has not been by choice. I'm on the Orientation Executive at my University and let's just say that it is A LOT of work. Between my full time summer job, Orientation planning and finding time to see friends not on Orientation Exec, it's hard to find time to sleep, let alone blog. I've worn some pretty wonderful outfits in the last while, and unfortunately have not photographed them. Once school starts I hope to enter a regular blogging period, but until then, I hope all my followers will remain patient as I juggle my last week of work, and two weeks of Orientation.

This dress used to be my aunt's but she didn't like it, so I kindly welcomed it into my closet. It bunches up awkwardly at the stomach which is rather a shame and I can see why my aunt did not want it anymore, but sometimes, I don't care about wearing flattering clothes.

Have a wonderful week!

H&M top, Forever 21 skirt, Geox flats, Hat from the Bay, gifted jewelry.

I think the colours in this outfit describe my life very well at the moment; bright, loud, and busy! I thought the summer would mean more blog updates, but I think that the school year will prove to be better at my updating.

I got a of compliments on this shirt. It's so much fun, especially since the front reminds me of fish scales, but the back is just mesh. This whole outfit just makes me want to go and sing Grease songs and dance. There's something about wearing bright colours that just puts me in such a good mood!

Have a great day everyone!

UO skirt. Levi's jacket from UO. Gifted jewelry. Club Monaco blouse. Geox flats. MAC lipstick.
I'm finally caught up with my backlogged posts. Yay!

I love this colour combination. Pink and coral really are lovely together. This Levi's jacket is my current favourite summer jacket to wear on cool days. Not only is it a beautiful colour, but the shorter length makes it perfect to wear with high waisted skirts and shorts.

The day I wore this outfit, it was incredibly humid, hence my wild hair. I'm really loving today's weather though. Nice and cool with the perfect breeze; it's really beginning to feel like the end of summer, and while some frown at that, I'm rather glad because I'm excited to start the new school year.

Hope you're all having a fantastic week!

every cloud has a silver lining

H&M Garden Collection dress. Gap vest. Unknown socks. Geox flats. Gifted jewelry except elephant ring which is from Aldo. Vintage belt. Michael Kors watch.

This outfit makes me think of that old saying, "every cloud has a silver lining." I remember first hearing it in some cheesy pre-teen book. At the time I never thought much about what it meant, or if it had any meaning at all, but now I think it's a saying that we should all apply to our lives. Life never goes as planned, and there will always be moments that stop us in our tracks, but we cannot lose the hope that there is something better not far along. Even during the most stormiest of days, there should still be hope that a ray of light will peak out.

Therefore, this dress with all it's frills, and my silver vest and socks make me feel like I'm a cloud, drifting along peacefully.

(When I was little I used to dream about being able to sit on a cloud and read books. I still think that if it was possible to do that, it would be really incredible. But unfortunately science puts a stopper to that dream.)
