Baseball lovin'

Ah, the glories of outdoor sports.... or indoor if the dome is closed; that is, if it even is a dome for a stadium. I had the pleasure of going to a Jays game last month for the first time, and it  was awesome! They actually won :D Unlike some teams cough* TFC >_> cough. But anyways, unlike the wanted success for my soccer/football team, the Bluejays are doing pretty well this season. And I ran into one of the players :D Woooo.

Simple outfit and colours to support the team! :) Blueblueblueblue.












 
 And everywhere you looked, you'd end up seeing Butterfield's bum. Move! We want to see the batter ;]

America's Next Top Model Live

A wonderful end to a weekend. The popular show, America's Next Top Model, was in the city! And we had a great show to go too. There were the appearances of some of the all-stars from the latest finished season; Lisa (the winner of the all-star season), Laura, Camille, Isis, Alexandria, Bianca and Shannon. They also walked with the twelve finalists for the Sutherland Supermodel search. Little to my knowning, my high school friend was one of the finalists walking in the show! Good for her.

The many sponsors and little runway shows around the conference were lovely. Getting your hair done by John Frieda, or makeup done by various booths. The shopping was amazing of course! Makeup, hair, and clothes; everything a girl wants right? ;)

 I adore her outfit and her shoes! A fashion blogger correspondent, she introduces us into the Art of Fashion and the first show we watched with Albert Yuen.
 LBD anyone?
Love love love his finale piece :)

 On the big screen of the show. Waiting for the big show to begin!

 Singer Danny Fernandes performs his hit single ft Josh from Mariana's Trench.
 The top 12 finalists for the Sutherland Model Search!
 My outfit for the day! A flirty pink pastel dress with floral tights and an asymmetric zipper jacket (it was a cit cool outside), with vintage inspired, ivory ankle boots from Call it Spring!
 Shopping and a day out with my girl Arianne! :)


All and all, a great weekend. ANTM you can come back anytime!

Exam Woes!

Ah, the leave of absence from this blog. I apologize! The dreaded examinations for the winter term of university took over my life for the past few weeks, but yes, I have finally finished for summer vacation! Yay everything! Have you ever wanted to pass a class so hard you cried? Well, I did not cry, but I nearly became sick from anxiety. Hopefully everyone had a good exam period too.

As for the good stuff. Some pictures from my phone of my adventures. What adventures you may ask? Of course studying day in and day out, but hey, a girl needs some time to relax too right? And take pretty pictures of things I came by in my walks around campus and Toronto!
Here, we have the pathway outside of Robarts Library, where I practically lived doing my papers. Spring seems to have come quite early as the cherry blossoms are already blooming! Gorgeous place for a photoshop really, if only I had the time then.

The graduate house. I love the architecture of the University of Toronto sign. I know, what does a science student think of artsy things? That I'd be an art kid if I weren't into science ;]

Sushi for lunch at this place called Kon-Nichi-Wa.  All I can say is om nom nom. That about sums up this picture to three words, and three words is all you need.

As one of my friends said, it looks reminds them of 'aliens and space and junk'. I totally agree, however, the view at night of the open dome still looks awesome to me.

Study study study! This is what my desk looked like for about..... three weeks all day every day? The joys of university right? To all the students out there going through exams, good luck and I hope they go well! This post is mostly about my busy life the last few weeks, but the fashion shall return! Guess who's going to a fashion show in two weeks time?
This girl here! :)

Hockey Tuesday

Guess who had a chemistry midterm AND a hockey game to get to afterwards?
Not many country girls, but this one got too!
That's right! This girl right here.
Most stressful day ever.
I'm sure you've all experienced the rash OH-MY-GOSH-I'M-SO-STRESSED-WHAT-DO-I-DO mindset (Or is that just me? Haha). But in all, I'm hoping I did okay, and the hockey game was great.... until the end. It was a pretty intense day, after all, I had a four hour break after my last lecture to study and grab food. This is good and bad for a few reasons.

Pros
  1. I actually had a chance to sit down and eat dinner.
  2. I had a bit more down time to study.
  3. It gives me a chance to make sure I know everything for the midterm exam. 
Cons
  1. Anxiety.
  2. Studying more makes me nervous since it makes me feel like I don't know anything.
  3. Stressing out.
  4. Anxiety.
  5. Did I mention test anxiety?
 But hey, it comes with the university life, we're all just there for a piece of paper that says we know stuff right? Yay for SUPER expensive pieces of paper!

But here are some photos from the gameI took that I thought you'd enjoy. Mmmm hockey players.



 Who doesn't love a good almost fight in a hockey game :3
 LEAFS LEAFS LEAFS LEAFS
 Annnd the Islanders. Psht.
The famous Tim Horton! :)

All and all, it was a very, intense day, and the Leafs still did lose. But it did help me relieve post-exam stress, so hooray for live sporting events! Woot woot!

Happy Friday! Spring weather :D

Tomorrow is St. Patick's Day! So, I wore blue before it ;)
All I can say about the weather right now is that,
BEAUTY. DAY.
My goodness, the weather was amazing! Perfect for a stroll out!
The wind was naturally cruel this day however. And the flow'y skirts were not meant for high winds, if you get my drift. But I'm glad to say no accidents were had! To my knowledge anyways...


Spring skirts and open backs! However, still boot weather so bring it on. I can't even believe how nice it is out though. It's like magical lies are out in the sky and the sun god of Egypt Re is looking awesomely down at all of us ;) Reference to my NMC egypt class last semester yay!
 Look at this view! I mean it's so pretty outside weather wise AND the lights are amazing! These long days of sunlight can only increase from here!

Social Media!

There's only one way to get some people to see this. Social media!
And behind the shopping, there's a little black dress.
And some really awesome high heel corduroy boots! :)

I love love love these boots :) Any favourite pairs you have? ;)

Shopping Frenzy

Afternoon everyone!
On Friday, my best friend Kaila came down to Toronto to visit me :D Just sitting around to chill and watch movies and go out for dinner is all you really need sometimes. We were joined by another city pal, Tracy from back home! What are three girls from the 'country' doing here? Hang out, shop and gossip? Probably a good guess if you made one. The following day we went to the nearest downtown mall and did some major shopping before my friend had to go home :(


Of course, we had to stop by some shoe stores to see the boots and accessories. Aldo anyone? Unfortunately, the sales girl was a bit too enthusiastic and it caused some tension. Definitely not a good sell to sell. Serious look guys, Tracy's looking in accessories!

We then stopped by Urban Outfitters to see if there was anything cool we might get. I managed to see these cool trinkets that would make any home feel sweet ;)

 Beer jugs anyone?

Oh yes, you definitely did just see a burger coin purse and moustache bandages. Like a hipster, anything and everything has moustaches on it, possibly even your finger if you accidentally cut yourself.

These are probably my favourite things there, the decorations for your home. Just look at the frames, I mean, awesome right?





Hair wreaaaath, do I pull it off?  Or does Tracy? Or both? Hehe.
 My outfit for the day.
All and all it was a great weekend. From just relaxing and gossip to shopping and styling.  Couldn't have asked for a better time with my girls. Even managed to snag a cosmetic bag from Sephora for $5. Tune in for next time!
