Today was packed with tons of things to do....so I'll tell you guys about it .....J and I woke up this morning pretty early considering we went out to a birthday party yesterday and got home at around 3am....we had our breakfast coffee and a couple boston creams....mmm my fave donut...we went for brunch with the family and some friends at the Dundas Grille which is always packed on Sundays.....then I was off to help my little cuz shop (I bought nothing :P)...met up with Anne and Frank for a bit... and later on was a dinner celebration with J's parents and his godmother for their 25th wedding anniversary =)....it was just non stop eating and running around! This is what I wore to dinner ...Dress: HM
Scarf: Thrifted
Purse: Vintage Chanel
Shoes: Nine West
Here is the "vanity" table/dresser in my room (for you Lola :P) ...I kind of just have a bunch of my fave products that I am currently using there along with a mirror that lights up which is currently on my bed at the moment and not in the picture....I like to keep things in little dollar store containers for easy access and I can see all the products and I just got another jar from walmart to store more of my brushes....p.s. Shoppers Drug Mart is having a sale on their QUO brushes (40% off) and I HIGHLY recommend the skunk brush (its the one in the jar to the right and its the two toned brush to the far left) that they recommend using for bronzer...$22 plus 40% off for you Canadians!....I also keep stuff in my washroom but we wont even go there for now :s....I need to do some serious re-organizing! haha.....Hope you all had a great weekend....
p.s. Im still on the search for a low priced (decent quality...prefer cotton) plain maxi dress.....hopefully in white...I will keep searching and let you know if and when I find it ....
Today after work I met up with my friend Stef, went to the Loreal makeup sale, relaxed with some coffee and now its winding down time at home! The sale was CRAZY and there were women scrambling for deals everywhere...some men, but I could count them on one hand....brave souls...haha...
Im not going to lie...I have been wearing this shirt non stop....so much so that J actually said....babe..again? Dont you have other clothes... haha...thats an understatement....I probably have enough clothes to cover a mini army...BUT I have become so attatched to this shirt- its so breezy, loose, chic and comfortable! Im loving the idea of wearing all light colors this summer, beige and whites but I have noticed that I dont have much beige in my wardobe and as the title notes...I need to be shopping for others and not myself...that and I dont really have the money right now to be going crazy on a new summer wardobe.....so you guys can look forward to outfits and peices that have been reincorporated into different looks....and also more thrift and vintage finds ....I have not had much time to thrift lately but hopefully soon....I have been reading a lot....whenever I get the chance, on the bus, at night, on the porch....etc....right now im reading Interview with the Vampire and LOVE it so far....
Today J and I went to his University to hand in some last assignments and pick up grad tickets....had lunch with a friend and then went to the eye doc (not so much fun) to get a new prescription for me as my sight is getting progressively worse :s.....I also picked up a new set of contacts to try out since summer is coming and I want to wear sunglasses and actually be able to see.....I will be testing them out....we also went to High Park and walked around ....its a beautiful park ....the water is not that clean though which you can probably see from the pictures! I am wearing the dress I got last year from Sirens for $10....it has sort of a 90s grunge vibe to it....for some reason I can never seem to find a thrifted version of this dress.....I have yet to find a thrifted grunge dress....I have the day off tomorrow as well so again, I have some running around to do and will probably meet up with my friend to go buy bridal gifts for a shower....eeekkk...it seems like the money just keeps flying out my account and none of it is for me....meaning, my spending has been seriously cut back especially because I have a lot more to pay for...I still have to show you guys my grad dress....I guess I will just show you when I actually wear it to grad :P.....I am looking forward to walking into convocation hall and walking out with my diploma as a UofT alumni.....haha...the culmination of my sweat, tears and hard work ....man, a lot of hard work!
As per your request I have included a couple of the proposal pictures =) ...It was at the Danny Z show and he had it planned for a while....I thought I was in for a magic trick but instead ended up with a proposal and beautiful ring. Sometimes magic isnt always done with a trick as Danny had noted ;)....After the show we went back to the hotel which was the Mariott and he told me he was going to go valet his car ...instead he went back to our room while I was with Anne and arranged over a hundred candles, rose petals at the floor entrance and on the bed and champagne with a bubble bath...it was so romantic and I could not have asked for a more perfect end to the night!
I am still getting my stuff together from the weekend....I promised to show a better picture of the belt....If you look at the second picture its leather and the red part is all small beads...I love it so much! best part is that it only cost me $3. And the shoes are my "going out shoes when I cant make up my mind about which to wear" shoes. They are really comfy and are by Nine West... I thought the first picture was cute because it was such an "in the moment" shot that J took =) those are out best friends, Anne Marie and Frank, her fiance. Last shot was taken by me...I am trying to brush up on my photography skills :P...hehe, we might take some classes together just for fun! Well today is going to be a lot of running around as I have to buy a gift for my friends baby shower, a gift for my friends wedding shower and also a gift for one of my girls for her birthday! so lots of money to be spent to day :s...
I have many pictures for you guys but this weekend has just been so crazy and I have so much to post but that will have to wait until either later today or tomorrow ;) I also picked up some MAC makeup at the CCO outlet in Buffalo so I would love to show you guys that.... MAC blacktrack fluidline is my new love <3
....I just came back from grabbing some thai food with the mama and then snack shopping because le Bf (whom I will refer to as J from now on....I think he likes that :P) and I leave tomorrow for Niagara/Buffalo ... I got all my marks back and could not be happier....A while back I posted that I didnt think my Physio exam went well at all.....well the point is....I maintained an "A" and basically came out with the same mark I went in with so its a good start to the long weekend =).....
Today was my day off so I finally got my hair and eyebrows done....(these pics however are from yesterday so the roots are still peeking through :P)....actually it came out a really dark blonde/light brown....I will probably add some more blonde soon though because its very hard for me to get used to brown tones.... I have been thinking about adding some brown for a while...I will post pictures tomorrow so you guys can let me know what you think :P ....
After work snack shopping .... Le bf and I ransacked the isles for the "perfect chip"... we went with 2 flavours in one bag(hot wings and blue cheese)...mmmm....needless to say, we got some odd looks while taking pictures in the grocery store....and we rented the movie Taken because chips and dip just arent the same without a good flick....plus, we both had a long day at work....well I had a long day...and he has been working on two essays totalling 50 pages together. Now its just sit back and relax time which is why I chose comfy shorts and my loose vintage sweater! Tomorrow I have the day off so im going to be going to the hairdresser finally....im famous for sporting serious rootage ...haha... well at least the hair IS growing, and quickly at that....and hopefully going to the eyedoc because I am in serious need of a stronger prescription...that way I can avoid looking like I am constantly giving people the stink eye...I swear, im just trying to SEE properly....:P
So last night I found my grad dress! and guess where it was.....well...hanging out in my closet...I had actually picked it up at a thrift store about a year ago, stashed it in my closet and totally forgot about it until now! It is honestly perfect and I cant wait to show you guys....as for this little outfit....I got inspired to wear my Tiger print (thanks anon) shirt. I love animal prints in general (leopard being my fave)...and something bright on the bottom...I chose this green skirt (green happens to be one of my fave colors..) ...oh and the shoes im wearing....yep, I ruined them on the tracks thinking I was a brave star and balancing on the tracks rocking my heels back and forth just grinding away at the enamel of my heels :s....oh well.....they now have a story to tell....Just like the collection of bruises I have on my legs....haha
UB had 30% off everything on the weekend and I picked up this navy dress/shirt for $20 taxes in....I thought I deserved a little post exam treat...I also thought I would let you guys know about my two fave products of the moment...the first being Iced Lotus blush by Clinique...it is honestly the PERFECT pink...it is sheer with a hint of shimmer and comes out a soft pink on my cheecks....and also Dove tinted moisturizer so that I can start prepping my legs for the summer :P....as you can tell, I think im in desperate need of some colour but I refuse to bake myself in a tanning bed....
This mothers day consisted of waking up, making a nice pot of coffee, and giving mama her gifts that I had picked out .....I got her some MAC makeup that she wanted and a peach colored coral mosaic bracelet...it was really beautiful....we went for bacon and eggs and our usual tim hortons run.....yea, we ARE huge coffee drinkers....bad...I know...THEN le Bf called me and told me he had a surprise....he bought a new Canon EOS Rebel XSi....these are our first pictures with the new camera =)
