Happy Birthday Best Friend!





yay!!! finally Shay is 22!
last weekend we went to Joey's on West Broadway in Van
to celebrate :)
i only took a few photos, but these were the highlights!

i am SO ready for it to be friday, i'm not sure if i can get my act together
with all these essays!? only time will tell (3 days to be exact)
Tonight my gal pals and i are going to the Blanche MacDonald Fashion Design
Graduation Show! My sister is attending the school right now, so we thought
it would be pretty legit if we all went. Exciting!
Semi cutting into my essay time...
butttt, i will just stay up late the rest of the week
to compensate. Girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Ps-bought new shoes
(notice that 'shoes' are in plural form....)
hehe!

Happy Tuesday Friends!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAY!

Snow Day!

Well the snow has hit the west coast this past week, and even more so today!
i'm glad i didn't have to trek to school in it, but tomorrow is another story.
i can do everything in walking distance, i'm not attempting to grace the roads

Perfect thing for a snow day?
Home made mac and cheese.
looks so much better than KD, am i right?
very scrumptious, made it last week
(successfully)

This weather has brought me more into the Christmas spirit,
but i must finish my essays first!!!!
ahhhh 4 more school days left until i get a break
can't wait!

Hope the snow isn't hindering your everyday tasks
:)

i don't care what people say, i don't even look their way, look their way


Coat: Joe Fresh, Jeans: JBrand, Wedges: Jeffrey Campbell, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs
ps-warmest coat i own, and probably the most awesome too

spent a lovely sunday evening with my Mama and sister in Steveston
checked out some cute boutiques as well as indulged in a little Starbucks
Sad that the BC lions lost :(
but, kinda happy they even made it that far...yay!

today i took a wellness day. that is, i wasn't sick, but took the day off anyways
i think that is fair? i just needed to get more sleep and focus on my essay!
some jobs are actually promoting this said 'wellness' day
giving employees an equal amount of paid 'wellness' and 'sick' days
i full heartedly agree with that because i am never sick...
and thus hardly reap the 'benefits' of taking a sick day...
it is questionable that being sick is beneficial...but that is not what i am getting at here!
have you taken a wellness day lately?!

(forgive my Platonic dialect as i am knee deep in my Philosophy essay)

enjoy your week!!!

i am trying a new thing... at lookbook.nu
feel free to 'hype' this look!

11/11/2010


Remembrance Day is a time to remember those who have
fought for us and been so brave, so we can live in a freer nation.

But, it "also serves as a painful and tragic reminder that despite the hope that the carnage of World War 1 would make it the 'war to end all war', we are still a long way away from achieving the lasting peace that was perhaps naively envisioned but that we nevertheless still desire."

I took this quote from a speech that the Mayor of Toronto said this morning and it can be easily forgotten that despite the awareness we have each November 11th, we will still be having this same ceremony next year, remembering even more Canadian soldiers who have died in war. History shows that there won't be an end to warfare in the near future, but that doesn't mean we can't strive for it.
My heart goes out to all the soldiers, families of those, and of course to anyone who has lost their loved one in battle.

...


many may wonder what a 'cloot' is.
my take is that it is the mix between a clog and a boot?
either way it sounds ridiculous
and i am not a fan of clogs
so i pretty much dislike seeing this word everywhere!?
stop saying CLOOT!
the word is the worst part, not even the boot
ahhh
die, trend....dieeeee

and i am a huge fan of using abbreviations
but this has gone too far
