Insta-whore

1. kBBQ + Sushi = stuffed dead Roya (it's a delicacy in these parts)
2. Paint chips stolen from Home Depot to be used in a special project I have planned
3. David's Tea is a perfect example of creating your own customer base - before they came to town I DIDN'T EVEN DRINK TEA GUISE. Now I'm obsessed.
4. The hipster goddess that is my little sister.
5. A painting said sister drew. I hate her for being flawless (Oh well, at least I'm older. Right?!)
6. New scarf from Urban Outfitters that I creeped for like a month before buying since I like most sane people have an aversion to 30 dollars scarves. But alas, I caved.
7. #ARMPARTY (self-explanatory and yes, I had to. Sorry.)
8. Space Invaders mural on a house on my street. How come my house isn't this cool?
9. My mother being her lovely self
10. Zara booties that will haunt my nightmares.

I suspect I am rapidly becoming one of those Instagram people who everyone hates but as such a long time Blackberry user I need a few days to revel in the **amazingness** that is Android. that's right, I finally upgraded to a Samsung Gaalxy S3 after spilling nail polish remover on my last phone (RIP Blackberry) and I haven't put it down since I got it five days ago.

In other news, I got back from Lollapalooza about a week ago and it was seriously the best time of my life. I mentioned in my last post that I was heading there alone as my plans with my friend who was supposed to accompany me fell through - to anyone who is thinking about going to a festival or on a trip by themselves, do it. Don't hold yourself back or have regrets about things you wanted to do but didn't because you didn't have someone else around. I had an amazing time at Lolla - saw artists I had been wanted to see for ages, met some incredibly cool people, and got to experience the lovely city of Chicago. My one recommendation would be to stay somewhere like a youth hostel if you can - it was a great, friendly environment that helped me make a lot of friends.

I would post pictures of my time at Lollapalooza but the reality of the situation is that I was either too busy dancing to take any or looking like a hot mess in the few that I did take. You'll just have to take my word that it was amazing - or even better, go check it out yourselves next year.

This Is The Second Last Chance

A couple weeks ago, my friend Vanessa & I went to St. Lawrence Market (a.k.a. a Toronto foodie's heaven) and had the time our our lives because we are pigs. I tried "Peameal on a Bun", which is apparently a Torontonian classic.  And yes, Peameal on a Bun - or "Canadian Bacon", as it's known by our lovely neighbours to the south - is exactly what it sounds like. Who knew TOers were so creative? (I jest.)

 The girl in the last picture is my friend Vanessa - how cute is she?

After that we went to Holt Renfrew, looked at nice things and pretended to be rich. I'm sure the salespeople saw right through it but it's one of my favourite pastimes - fake it 'til you make it, yeah? And let's not forget Korean BBQ (a.k.a. a vegetarian's worst nightmare) after that. I'm pretty sure my intake for the day was at least 75% protein.

I love food. Seriously.

A lil' Halloween picspam:

 

 American Apparel sheer dress, Banana Republic ring, lulumumu @ Etsy necklace, thrifted blazer.

A relatively tame Halloween, all things considered - but still a good time. Had friends dress up as a Girl Scout, a zombie and a vampire slayer. They look fab, no? In case you didn't already guess, I was a Naval officer.

My favourite part of my outfit had to be the "Love Compass" necklace which I got off lulumumu on Etsy. Because romance isn't easy, and sometimes we all need a little help to point us in the right direction.


A couple of .gifs to finish this post off (because I have far too much time on my hands, aka procrastination is an art for me.)

Please note how my Blackberry lights up in the second gif, lol.

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic night.




P.S. School and midterms have stolen my soul, but I promise to make an effort for things to get back to normal around here soon.

Homecoming Weekend Round 2 at Laurier. 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

A weekend away with the friends that showed no matter what does (or doesn't) happen, it's always a good time if you're with your best friends.
