I think I can...I think I can...

I'm a nail biter. & on more occasions than I can count on my gnawed apart fingers, I have attempted to stop the awful habit. This time though...its happening.


Its sparitual "last tango". A bright bubble gum coral. I loove it. Progress to documented...


In other news: its January 31st! Meaning tomorrow February is here. My favourite month of the year. Which means Spring is on its way!

WEEHOO!

AHH! So officially I am eligible to work in the UK! Although this was probably the easiest part of the whole process (let the job apps begin!) I am SO excited to have this consent. Not to mention despite my slightly tea stained passport, it was approved meaning my passport should (knock on wood) be back in my hands just in time for my week long trip to London in T-minus THREE WEEKS!


I will not only be there for London Fashion Week buuut also my 22nd Birthday. I am excited to just explore the city & hopefully see a couple friends too. My list of places to go is quickly expanding. 
Can. Not. Wait. 

New J Crew, Old Hollywood!

I can always feel it in the air around the time a new J Crew catalogue is due to come out. My wardrobe seems stale, and I am in need of inspiration. This time around it was shot on the terrain of the hollywood hills.



Apparently they required a permit to shoot & in no time had news helicopters and fire trucks checking in on the situation.


The periwinkles, corals & yellows of spring give me hope!

& for when I find myself spending my days back in an office...

More later, as I am off to my last class of the week. Woohoo!

Day Number One

Hello!

So after numerous attempts I have finally created a blog. Now I can't really promise too much as I have spent the last 4 years crunching numbers as an accounting major. HOWEVER I realize that is no excuse. Have to start somewhere. The other day I was thinking about this time last year & how much everything has changed. Then I looked a year ahead when it struck me this rate of change isn't about to slow down anytime soon. I am currently in school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A Toronto suburb native I am naturally drawn to the city. However with the closing of my fourth year out east I have realized I couldn't have chosen a better city to study in. I have 8-months left of classes so am hoping to be able to document my last while in this great city.

My mom says writing down your thoughts is more therapeutic than anything. So continuously gives me journals while fully aware of my addiction to my computer. I do use the journals, though mainly for to do lists.

Here are a couple of the items:
-Step Class this afternoon. My first ever. Not sure whether or not long legs are an asset?
-Tomorrow's UK Border Agency Appointment. Have to get a passport photo for that still. They take your passport when you go to your appointment & keep it for who knows how long. I am just CROSSING MY FINGERS I get it back by February 19th as that is when I am LEAVING FOR LONDON for a week. Trust me...more on that later
-2 Assignments due Wednesday...keep plugging at those

Anyways, class is calling but just thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself to you all, who I will now think of as my invisible friends.
