Another week gone, but this time I get to have a little mini-vacay! I took these last week before Fall decided to come hit us all in the ass. It was so nice, but now it's over. Had to happen eventually I guess.

I have no more words in my head. Too many essays in the past week, both which I did well on but I just can't think anymore lol.

Happy long-weekend to all my Canadian friends!

140. An absence.

I realized lately I've reached a new level of neglect for my blog. It's not something I'm completely happy with, but that's what happens when life gets in the way. Reasons for said absence? It has been over a month, you see. August was it's own kind of busy, finishing up my work-term and the associated things to do. I managed to get a post in before I headed on my vacation time, but the relaxation left me to my own devices. Saw Keith Urban (!!!!) for the second time and loved it intensely. Some conflict happened with my tickets but I got a great seat after and even managed to hang with a friend during the show.

Montreal was such an amazing time. I loved the feel of the city, and getting to explore around it with my Mom. I brought my Nikon with me to try and document some of my outfits, but carrying it around while shopping got a little old. Still need to get Mom's pictures to post a few. Something I'm hoping to do soon.

After Montreal came Fredericton, to see the best friend before her return home! Met some more of her family and the new BF, who is a sweetheart. I like seeing her happy :) Our road-trip home was long and tiring but it was definitely a good experience. 36 hours, and I saw 4 provinces in 4 days. Well traveled takes on another new meaning.

And then we come to the real fun part: my second last term of university. School is busy all.the.time. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things after being away from real classes for a year. I fully intended to update once I returned but classes hit me hard, along with all the work necessary for it. I'm trying to wear things that are comfortable but still cute. It's a challenge when it's still freaking summer here. On that note, here's my way of coping with the heat but still looking school appropriate.

Also, new hair! Yay!

I still haven't gotten around to wearing all my new clothes. I bought lots of cute stuff in Montreal but the weather isn't cooperating for the most part. More stripes to add, of course. A lot of the things I got were very dressy, so I'm trying to figure out how to bring them back to casual. It's an interesting challenge.

And on that note, off again I go. Two papers due this week, one written and one outlined but left to be finished. School work never ends for me. I'm gonna work harder to make sure that the next post isn't so long coming!

Til next time!

136. Blocks of color.

cardi - Sisters / dress - Old Navy / bandeau - Walmart / grey flats that I wore to work! 

Today's July's EBEW! I remembered! I meant to take pictures to post this morning, but my mornings are never that organized. Plus I've been missing my tripod mount for about a month, may have to go buy myself a new one so I can take advantage of the awesome weather that's continuing here in my fair city. 

I realized today I do a lot more color blocking than I realize. I love bright colors and wearing several is better. I'm not quite as brave as all the other participants, but I think this is a pretty good start. Don't you? 

Also, look at my room! Yay! It's not brown anymore! Painted on the weekend and I'm in love with it. It's so girly now. Finally. 

Head on over to the EBEW site to check out the rest of the entries! 

 

 Til next time!   

135. Give a little time to me, or burn this out.

Yes, another Ed Sheeran song. No, it won't stop.

What have I managed to lose in gaining a new music obsession? My ability to write full sentences. Lists it is! 


- skipped yoga to clean yesterday. stayed on my laptop instead. yep. 
- realized I may have lost a little weight, or once my monthly bloat went away I feel smaller anyways. good to realize nonetheless. 
- I'm curious what I weigh lately but don't know if I want to find out. 
- I've had this shirt from Express since last April. This was my first time wearing it. I still have a skirt I haven't worn that I bought last Sept.
- every outfit that I've liked lately has included these black pants. need more of them, desperately.  Slightly longer would do, but slim fit and cropped. Ideas/suggestions?


Rant must be over, stuff to do! 

Til next time! 

134. Working on it

 

cardi - Tommy Hilfiger / shirt - Urban Planet / bralet - Walmart / jeans - H&M / flats - LOFT

Things I'm working on: 

- accepting that my closet isn't what I want it to be. 

- taking pictures without a mount for my tripod. 

- figuring out what pieces are and are not work appropriate in summer. 

- going to the gym enough that it's worth the effort

- being more social. 

Guess which one is the most difficult? With the exception of the past weekend, the last one. I'm a hermit, what can I say? 

Very glad to have found a way to wear this shirt. I have super high waisted skinny jeans from H&M that I bought in London, for 10 GBP. They're awesome. My other favourite part of this outfit? The shoes. Sighh. I wish I had a LOFT store closer so I could buy everything. Such is life, guess I'll have to keep traveling. 

What was I complaining about again?

Til next time :)

133. Messy

 

 cardi - Pull & Bear / shirt - Disney / pants - Smart Set / Sperry Topsiders

Messy was my weekend, so I spent a lot of time being very lazy. Messy is also my hair here, but this is one of my favourite outfits I've worn recently. Office appropriate but still fun. I love Mickey too of course.

Not much to report on that front. I'm trying to find more time in the week for everything I need to do. Studying and keeping up with my course, exercising, cooking, and hopefully finding time to bake, all while working 8-5 everyday and ignoring my mounting pile of housework. Weekends are never long enough to do everything unfortunately.

Til next time!

131. You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Another workweek over means another Friday, and maybe an opportunity to bust out my best sartorial choices?

Not so much.

Unfortunately I don't like my closet lately. It's giving me dirty looks and asking why I give it so much crap. I don't have an answer, but I don't think it really cares. I'm having a hard time getting dressed with the options I have. This is a good bare bones outfit, but it's like being away from my closet for 4 months made me forget how to dress, and accessorize, and pick out work clothes (but that's another story).

scarf - ON / cardi - Two Sisters / shirt - Ricki's / jeans - bongo / flats - not a clue! 

In theory, this outfit is okay. But in practice, I really don't like it. The v-neck of the shirt and collar of the cardi don't work. And the scarf makes it better, but it was too much to wear around the office. So I felt pretty stupid the whole day. Not a good way to end the week. 

Critical? Yes. But like I said, my closet and I aren't getting along. It's probably going to continue.  

Til next time!

130. Neon...ish?

So being that I have become a bad blogger, I am not surprised in the least that I forgot to wear something ridiculously neon on this EBEW day. I did however wear something bright, so that's pretty close right?

  

shirt - LOFT / pants - Mango / tank - J. Crew / shoes - TOMS (not pictured) 

These pictures are hating on me hard. Blogger doesn't want me here! That's kind of rude, I think.

Another short post, but I do have several lined up. I'm getting a little better. My tripod mount has gone missing, but I am making do. I even went to the gym and showered before taking these. That's dedication people. 

Red may not be neon, but with the looks I was getting around here, it might as well be.

Til next time!

129. Restrictions.

tunic - Flamenco, from Madrid / leggings - Old Navy / boots (not pictured) - Payless

It's pretty easy for me to figure out why I haven't posted as much lately. It's cold, so I'm rewearing old outfits, and my Blogger account is blocked at work. Social networking, it's called. That's probably better off, really. I spend a lot of time wandering around the internet when I don't have anything else to do.

This was a rare new outfit. I love this tunic, even though these pictures are terribly distorted in color. Forgetting to take OOTD pictures, again. The bottom picture shows some of the embroidered detail, and a better idea of the color. I need to start using my tripod again, the pictures turn out better.

I'm lowering my expectations soon, for blogging. I think I need to slowly get back into it, still waiting for the weather to get back on my side. The cold snap isn't so fun here, we saw the sun today for the first time in a while. It's depressing. But we must go on, mustn't we?

Til next time!

128. Blue's the way I roll.

So, in case you haven't heard, I live on an island. In the Atlantic Ocean. And around this time of year, we get pretty little icebergs that float on by, and make the ocean look even prettier :)

look, there's one now!

And if you really have heard of Newfoundland, you'll know those friggers are gigantic and it's never as warm as it looks in pictures. It was a warm day on Saturday, my warm being everyone else's, gee I should wear a sweater.

dress - Old Navy / scarf - from Europe07 travels / belt - joefresh / flats - random Portuguese store / sunglasses - new, prescription! / jacket - Mavi

In honour of Mr. Berg, I wore a dress and tried to match the colors around me. I actually didn't, which is the sad part, but I'm all blue in front of the ocean and the blue sky with the ice-blue and white berg there above me. It's seasonal, anyways.

So where have I been lately? I'm still wearing clothes, and work appropriate clothes even. I'm attributing my absense to the fact that I'm into yoga more than blogging now. I prefer to go to yoga after work, or after supper after work, than to come home and take pictures of what I've been wearing. It's not necessarily a bad thing, since I quite love it, but I used to like blogging too. I feel like I'm a in a funk now. Maybe it's because I know my family and friends know about it, and it's no longer a big deal. It's still important to me, I think. And I think people are still reading. Are you still out there, dear friends? I'm sorry if I've let you down, but I promise I'll try to be better.

Not a whole lot has happened since last week. Three works of work done, I got paid, I make several banana breads with new beautiful mixer and fell more in love with it, and found out I still can't be on time for work. I work farther away, and I have to park in a giant parking garage, but I still fail on that side of things. I can't even think of what else I've done.

What else do I have coming up? I can't think of that either! But right now I have sleep, it's almost 10pm! A girl needs her beauty sleep!

Til next time!

126. It's been fixed.

Another absence on my part! I started work last Monday, so week 2 is almost over. It's a little hard to get back into the swing of things at the moment. I go to work by 8, not off til 5, and then yoga at some point around the day. I've got over a hundred blog posts backed up on my Reader. I usually check them about 3 times a day, and with the restrictions on internet time at work, I'm both more productive and less able to look at fun things.

Getting used to my work clothes and closet is a pretty interesting task. Getting used to being back in Newfoundland was a challenge too. I didn't want to post any OOTD pics for the first week, for a few reasons. I may have been wearing some of my new clothes, but I slept alot and needed a hair appointment desperately. So with all of my fixing done, here's my first outfit post of my last workterm!

 cardigan - Pull & Bear / shirt - Cortefiel / tank - bluenotes / pants - Mexx / flats - Clarks

You might recognize this from one of my few outfit posts from this term. It's the shirt my cousin gave me from her extensive closet. A good time indeed, and once it was altered it's quickly become a favourite. I love how it's so light and pretty, but the way it makes me look a little wide in the tummy area is a little annoying. It poofs out right on the front of my belly. No pictures, but you can imagine it I'm sure.

I really hope I manage to get back to posting! I have so much nice clothes that I need to get into wearing again. And jewelry. I looked cute today too, but alas I was home too late for pictures. I will get back into this, I must! And to those who continue to visit and check up on what I'm doing, thank you. Sincerely. I appreciate the interest and your continued support! I'm off to catch up on blog reading before packing for my trip home this weekend. Super excited :)

Til next time!
