Tonsillectomized

I got my tonsils out them little bastards! But to be honest, if I could go back I'd rather have tonsilitis ten times over than go through that operation again .. My god it was horrible.
And I could ramble for days about my horrible percocet dreams .. everything was monsters and snakes and giant sandwiches filled with worms. Nasty!
Anywhoo, I have soo soo many pretty things I will post pictures soon.
New dresses and tops and blouses, and bra's and perfumes! And a $30 dollar candle .. But it smells like Buddha's farts so it's heavenly :) Noms.

 Grey silk Jacob skirt, CK tights, black ruffled button down blouse from Costa Blanca a million years ago, wooden globe ring, gold collar necklace from Value.

Favourite white cotton sweater from Value - feels like a beach sweater, and god damn I'm missing beaches right now. This time last year I was backpacking my way up the coast of Australia.
Ugh how I miss it!

Also another couple of days of school, not unhappy about it, cuz I feel constantly drunk and my head is buzzing nonstop, and I still can barely speak, but missing works sucks, I'm already broke and have a retail problem so .. bad equation.
Oh, and speaking of school, I dropped an awful grad class, so now I'm behind. It sucks and I'm embarassed but I'll kill an easy class over summer school, be done by July and graduate at a ceremony in November. No big deal, except it's a waste of $500. Oops.

Run Alone

End of the World

Boyfriend came and left, we had an amazing time together, it wasn't always easy but we had fun and appreciated being with each other every single day. Complications arose and our visit got cut a week and a half short :( Sad for both of us, we only got two weeks together and now we're back to missing each other and skyping and texting. But we learned a lot and got a huge reality check on our relationship and what we want out of our lives.

He's still my world and we are very much in love, so our Christmas, while being unexpected was still amazing and I wouldn't change it for the world.

 We went clubbing with the crew at Patty B's.

 Stayed at several hotels, this was the Lord Elgin, our first day back together.

 Swarovski crystal bracelet that he bought me for xmas.

 KP's birthday dinner :) Love you mummyyy

New Years Eve '11. Fun, low-key party then slumbie with S&M .. Not like sado-masochism ... but like my girls.. Awks...

Now school has began again, thesis is eating me alive, deadlines are looming. Spending lots of time with my biddiehoes and my fam. Just what I need :)

 Comfiest everrrrr. White cotton hoodie, indigo skinnies ($4, $2 Value Village), yellow ugg slippers, bullet pendant necklace (etsy), claw cuff bracelet (Value Village).

 Black slouchy boots (le Chateau), grey wool midi skirt (Smart Set, xmas pressie from S), black knit Billabong tank (Value Village $3), Michael Kors bag ($400), brown felt sun hat (Smart Set)

Watch this vid :) It's my new favourite song. Reminds me of boyfriend, just how the guy laughs at the end. Cute. Anyways it's a good tune.

And I have decided to eschew the high-waisted belts of the current fashion, and go for big low-slung belts that make my hips look huge. But whatever #swag.
Grey knit stockings, black button down shirtdress (Jacob), belt stolen from KP's closet, yellow enamel cuff (also KP's), wooden earrings (found them somewhere in the Byward Market many years ago)

Exams are killing me, I've got 1 down, 2 to go, then BOYFRIEND. I can't wait, I know I've mangled this blog by talking non-stop about how much I miss him, but I figure it's better than rambling on and on about it in person to all my biddies and fam, although I'm sure I do that too. Anyways. FOUR. DAYS. I'm dyinggggg :) Excited.

Pretty Little Liar

Why yes, yes I do have deoderant stains all over my shirt. On the days I actually bother to shower and use deoderant .. this is how I am repayed. I hope everyone who is near me appreciates the efforts I go to so that they enjoy my sweet, sweet scent.

 Can't decide on shoessss...

Okay, I lied ... that wasn't all I bought. Well actually no .. KP bought me these b/c we had to return one pair of my birthday tights because they were made for anorexic midgets/children.. So I got THESEEEEEE omg aren't they awesome.

Enough is enough

Okay this is seriously the last of my shopping until the new year. Even though I spent practically pennies .. it's bad, naughty, naughty. I just donated a bag of clothes mere HOURS ago! Literally last night, in an attempt to de-clutter my closet (and make room to hang pictures, an inspiration board, and a mirror) I got rid of clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories. Then this morning I remembered Value Village was having a 50% off sale and though, well I'll juuuuuust go to look for some hilair christmas sweaters for M and I to wear together .. and to be honest the selection was quite disappointing and I didn't buy any, but I bought a pair of nice gap jeans, a black lace t-shirt (whatchu think? wear with a beige bra or be daring and wear with a bright cobalt blue bra .. or I'm too damn old and should just wear it with a tank underneath and stop trying to be a lamb ... because I'm a mutton .. or whatever). Also bought a pink dress in what I like to call "ethnic" print aka something a hippie would luuurve, a yellow super soft floral mini dress, and a blue tye-dye dress made from bamboo.

 And now I'm done for the year, noooo mooore buying myself things. (Although for all those sweet purchases I only spent $20 ... fuckyes).

AND I accidentally bought a skirt over the weekend with KP but I take no responsibility for it at all as she was the one who forced me into Winners and practically locked me in a change room with a bunch of clothes.

I can't say to no embroidered/crocheted/shimmery things .. and this skirt is all 3!

Even the worst things...

Have something to love in them.

 Pink, sparkles, no cleavage (like me ... miraculously shed 2 cup sizes ... pfft)

 Sweaters and short :) Best, and v. Canadian

I'm dying over this pic, the dress is to DIE for, the hair piece kills it. It's just amazing. Ah-MAY-ZINGG.

Go pick out a white dress

So I here's the finished product, I suppose I could have done the neck a little bit nicer, I just chopped off the ruffles and hemmed it, but I'm thinking I may alter the neckline a bit, it looks pretty uneven without the ruffles.
Wearing it with my Calvin Klein knit tights (bday pressie from Mummy), and her greyish shooties, and her studded black belt, and my Guess hobo bag.
