A New Year

Happy 2012 everyone! I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year's Eve & a relaxing day today. I myself worked both days, but had a lovely time nonetheless. It was so nice to see some of my favourite people at work again, revel in everyone's New Years giddiness, & wear my new velvet dress. 


Along with each new year comes the mandatory list of resolutions. Last year I wrote a somewhat over-ambitious list of 100+ resolutions from the grandiose to the miniscule. Long lost, I don't how many of those resolutions I actually fulfilled; but this year I'm starting small & sharing them with you so I'll have a little more motivation. Besides the usual 'keep in better touch with friends', 'exercise more', & 'just be happy' here are my 5 main goals for 2012:

1. Stop biting my nails

I attempt this one every year, but so far have only managed a few months without crumbling. It's a terrible habit, but 2012 is the year! Pretty manicure inspiration required. 

2. Finish my school courses by April.

Which means procrastinating less & being much more productive than I have been lately. German & Microbiology I will conquer you. 

3. Save money & travel more. 

Although it may mean a reduction in my wardrobe budget, I hold travel higher than anything else - & this year I'm looking forward to a long & delightful trip (perhaps even a relocation!)

4. Take better care of my skin & hair.

I'm the queen of falling asleep with my makeup on. No more! I'm also going to spend more time experimenting with my makeup & hair. I'll let you know how it goes ;) 

5. Evolve my blog.

For me this means gaining more of you lovely followers, posting more often, & hopefully working on some collaborations. I'm really looking forward to the future growth of this site & sharing my year with you!

I'd love to know what resolutions you've made for 2012 so please let me know! I have the next 3 days off so you can expect several new outfit posts this week (oh look, #5 ;). Until then, have a fantastic evening everyone! <3 

Hello November!

Good evening everyone!

Just wanted to do a quick post before bed. I'm working the next several days in a row so photo op's may be few and far between until the weekend (however fingers crossed this isn't the case!). On another note... how can it possibly be November already?! No idea where the time is going, but I'm started to seriously worry about finishing up my coursework in a timely manner...

Apart from that though, things are just peachy :) Halloween weekend was relaxing and filled with festive fun (hellooo alliteration). This week is Vancouver Fashion Week and I'm looking forward to attending some of the shows this weekend, on which I'll be sure to keep you all updated!

The following pictures were taken just before the ''Roger Daltrey presents The Who's Tommy'' concert I attended last week. The concert itself was fantastic and made for quite an enjoyable evening. Roger Daltrey has quite evidently lost nothing with age. I chose this simple and comfortable outfit knowing the type of eclectic crowd who would be in attendance. This shirt, ordered the past summer from Nastygal, is one of my all-time favourites (not to mention the absolutely most comfortable); likewise the Silver jeans. I also wore a blazer H&M blazer and knit circle scarf from Asos, not seen in these quick photos. My apologies for the poor quality photo's!

I was wearing:

Turquoise batwing top - Nastygal

Lace distressed jeans - Silver Jeans Co.

Glitter ballet flats - Spring

Gold multi-chain necklace - Forever 21

Hope you all have a lovely evening! Cheers :)
