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!

139. Slowing it down

top - LOFT / pants - Smart Set / shoes (not pictured) - flats from AE

A couple of leftover work outfits that I remembered to take but forgot to post. The speed of life has slowed down, finally. Today is my first Monday off since..April? It's a nice feeling.


Not a whole lot happening besides that, which is a nice thing to be able to say. I'm hoping to head out home for a few days soon, before I head off on my next adventure. Montreal with my Mom and Aunt for a week, then road-tripping from NB with my bestie! It's going to be a good way to start off the school year, since she's moving in once we arrive back to St. John's :)

Off to take care of the errands I haven't had a chance to do all summer. I'm not certain, but I think they might take me a while :P

Til next time!

138. Keep it simple.

I had such, such good intentions for this month's EBEW. I picked out what I was going to wear, had it all planned out for Tuesday morning and it was going to be lovely. 

Then Tuesday happened. 

It rained buckets, I was late for work, and when I got home from work I realized my internet/tv/phone had all crapped out on me. My lovely outfit wouldn't be documented! I only had it fixed last night and didn't have time to post with work. 

So instead, I'm just posting it now. I always want to wear the EBEW outfits on the day of posting, just in case I see someone following the same theme. It's a far off chance, I know, but it's possible. I've worn a very similar variation of this outfit before, but the bare bones version. I love pairing these blues together. The skirt was the best choice for me, both color and item wise, since the humidity plaguing my dear city hadn't broken yet. It did yesterday, and now it's cold and I want my heat back. Never thought I'd be saying that. 

I hope to get back into my posting soon. I'm saying that at a somewhat bad time as I'm soon off on vacation and going away for a couple of weeks! Really excited about that, first a trip with my Mom and then road trip with the bestie! Hopefully I'll use some of my spare time to write a few posts up. I'll be committing myself back to my blog once the fall hits.

Thanks for everyone who's continued visiting me here and stick around, it's going to be better promise! I may not be involved technically, but head on over to the EBEW site to see how everyone else interpreted their monochromatic looks!

Til next time! :)
