39. And then it starts to rain.

The day I wore this outfit was so nice. It was about 23 degrees, Celsius. The warmest it had been yet! I had leggings on first, but changed when Boyfriend and I had to run some errands. It was still sooo niiceeee. And then we got home to start up the bbq, and it started to rain. I hate the weather in NL.

unhappy that it's raining, after having to run in to save my camera.

I do love this shirt though, I can see myself wearing it lots this summer. Got it in Bangor, I think it was TJ Maxx. I don't remember specifically since I kinda did a lot of shopping. I'll be layering many colors underneath to change it up, an easy way to get a little more color and no jewelry necessary because of that crocheted neckline! It continues to the back but not as much. I love having thin shirts that are cute, cool, but still look good. And layered thin clothing is always my best bet on humid days. Hopefully warm days like this continue to fill my life. Unfortunately it doesn't seem likely, but a girl can dream, right?

Til next time!

38. A semi-perfect bun.

A slightly random rant to begin: I've got such a wonderful idea for my next Project 52 post, this weeks picture. That has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but that's irrelevant and it doesn't matter much lol. It's going to be such a good picture when I get it done. I just had to tell you about it. And it'll be done early this week, which means I have to post week 21 and 22 soon. I definitely will.

i know you love the blue socks.

In other news, I'm in love with H&M. I absolutely love this shirt. It's drapey and soft and so comfy. Doesn't photograph well though. That's a shame. I also had to include a picture of my hair, because that's the best most perfect bun I've managed to make in a long time. It's nice when my hair decides to not be stupid.

Til next time!

Fashion-Beauty Friend Friday: Vacations

I'm sorry to all other FBFF bloggers, I am, but I think this week's description on this week's question is full of crap in my world. I do not see summer coming my way, I am barely getting spring-like temperatures! (don't mind me, I'm just jealous. I yearn for shorts and skirts and not having to wear a jacket. which I still do. blechhh) And don't get me started on the fact that I don't get a vacation because I'm in school all summer. Most of, at least. Today's post is just extra spite-y, isn't it? I do apologize, the weather sucks and I have lots of studying to do. Not so fun. On to the questions! 

in the pool at the house we rented in FL, may 09. I so wanna go baaaccckkk. :(

 
1. When it comes to packing for vacation what’s your mantra? 
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not very good at packing. I overpack like a monster. I try to go for pieces that are easy to mix and match, and things that pack easily. Stuff that needs to be ironed or washed after every wear does not bode well with me.  

2. What are your must packs? 
Always always always have to bring at least one pair of jeans, even in hot climates. I need to have something for traveling, since it's always colder in NL. But my basics are tees and leggings, jersey dresses. Stuff that can be easily worn and reworn in a variety of ways. My American Apparel dresses are great for this, since they can be remixed into many outfits; as a skirt, shirt or any type of dress!

3. What are you happy to leave behind?
The weather. That's my biggest one. I'm still in school so job stuff wouldn't bother me, and when I get time to go on a vacation I'm not in classes anyways. It's nice to just get away from everything though and not have to worry about everyone else.

4. Any packing secrets that help you get everything into one suitcase?
I've learned from my aunt, she's basically a Jedi Master of packing. I roll tees, flatten out jeans, make sure to fold sweaters the same way they do in stores. Lots of thin layers make for easier packing. My goal when I pack, if I'm going to do a lot of shopping on the trip, is to go with a half empty suitcase and come back full. It also helps to use a carry-on that you can check if necessary. This was much easier before the one-bag policy came in, but still useful.

5. Beach reading… what are you taking with you to read in the sand?
I won't be reading at at beach any time soon, but I'll be reading the latest in the Shopaholic series, Mini Shopaholic, by Sophie Kinsella. Along with that, basically re-reading all of my favourites. I will be taking special time to re-read Harry Potter 7, in anticipation for the next movie. Definitely a good read for anyone who hasn't been turned on to the series! 


Now I'm off to try and study, but probably not going to happen lol. Hope you're all having a wonderful Friday and have a great weekend!

Til next time!

37. I heart Sheldon Cooper.

 

shirt - delia's / jeans - guess / tank - urban planet?

I love Sheldon. I've become hopelessly addicted to Big Bang, and I try to make everyone that I can love it as much as me. Boyfriend now has two seasons and a somewhat matching t-shirt. I found this when I was in Bangor at Delia's. How could I say no? It's Sheldon's catch phrase and so so good. I bought a Mario shirt for my bestie at the same time, so I got it semi-on-sale. Which means I definitely couldn't leave it behind. 

This wasn't from today, I am sad to say. I'm a bit behind on outfit posts, but I like having a few ready to post. I don't do it every day since I don't wear things that are bloggable every day. Yesterday, case and point, was a study day and consisted of sweatpants and hoodies. That said, they're expensive & well-fitting sweatpants, but you don't want to see that, do you? (and they're not lululemon. I actually don't own one piece of clothing from there. strange? maybe...but Boyfriend is trying to wear me down. he's got a sweater and says I should have one too. Maybe I'll give in, maybe not) I'll assume no and keep trying to dress better despite my non-summer I'm having. Here's hoping for hot!!!

I had to post another picture. This is my super howl-y neighbour dog. One of them. Two basset hounds, super fat but annoying. Except when they waddle out and start being fat and cute. Then I melt a little. I like wrinkly dogs.

Til next time!
