what she wore- sister's bday dinner edition

So, a loooong time ago I blogged about this covet. Finally, it actually went on SALE! Woot.

Also, I got a haircut (finally... it happens about 2x yearly!) Of course she cut off more than I wanted but what can you do? (besides not get your hair cut again for another 6 months?)

I'm incapable in smiling for mirror selfies, sorry!

Dress: american apparel

leggings: mossimo  target

heels: payless

lipstick: gaga by MAC

from the archives

Tonight I backed away from the internet in order to clean my room a bit before a friend stays over tomorrow night.
I found a box full of stuff from high school, including these gems.

I was campaign manager for Paish's run for... ? Student rep or something. Back in the day, she was known as "Kadi". (That's right, the specific D sound, not a T!).
This is pure brilliance. If only we had kept one of the real posters, designed like the mac and cheese boxes.

Note the copyright. Don't steal this amazing design! Also note the incredible likeness. The blue hair is just so natural.

And, for Anne-Marie! This image graced the cover of our "NASA" brochures. The New Annie-Shawna Alliance, that is. Our very own political party in Civics, circa 2000-01.

Can you believe I thought I was fat then? (Well, probably, it was high school). If only I knew what I'd look like by grade 12 after working at A&W!

Posting these were so worth breaking my internet hiatus about 1 hour into it.

back to school..

I don't think I can ever stop.



Chipping away at the degree... online course starts next week! I think I like stressing and overworking myself.
Also, I really think it's time to re-watch Billy Madison. I saw the film set in Oshawa when they taped it at the mansion in town!

I absolutely have to reblog this series of photos which I spotted on Splendora.

Check out "The Beauty in the Abandoned" series of photos by photographer Álvaro Sánchez-Montañés for more breathtaking shots of the desert overtaking abandoned houses in the Namib desert. Stunning.

The Count

I saw this the first time ages ago, and watched it again last night. Definitely more hilarious after a beer (or two!)

bad blogger

When did I become such a bad blogger?
Hmm, looks like real life is kicking in! Loving the new job. 30 hours this week which isn't quite full time but sure feels like it when I was lucky to average about 16 before (sometimes even ZERO!)
Busy, busy. I've got about a gazillion books on the go, including Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl- (yup, never read it!) and The Price: My Rise and Fall as New York's #1 Escort- written by one of the very awesome girls in my yoga training last month. (And yes, it's a true story!). Awesome read, look out for a used copy on amazon. Also lots of vegan cookbooks... thinking about going there sometime.
Been busy with the yoga projects- currently practice teaching, going on a "yoga safari" (trying out different types besides my usual) and embarking on another 30-day challenge starting today. I'm taking another Uni course in the fall- slowly chipping away at the degree, so I want to get as many projects out of the way as I can so I'll have time for that. Here's a pic to make this post less boring.

That was yoga-on-the-beach. Note the CN tower in the background. Gorgeous.

So yup, my life in a nutshell. Work, reading, and yoga.
Hope everyone is awesome. I'm not the only slacking blogger, get on it and update me with your life stories!!

a musical month

Actually, it was a fairly NON-musical month since I only drove a handful of times. Driving is my prime music-listening time. I really need speakers for my iPod! When the paycheques start rolling in, for sure.

Anyways, what was musical? CONCERTS GALORE! By galore, I mean two. I'd say that's a lot in one month haha!

First up, Lilith Fair.
Tara Maclean is married to one of the co-founders. The other co-founder and her sister were back-up vocals. Amazing!

We also saw Chantal Kreviazuk, Lights, Mary J Blidge and Sarah Maclachlan. Talk about incredible. It was a great night, despite beoing poured on half the day and staying up way past our bedtimes (i.e. midnight sleepytime and 5:30 wake-up for a 14 hour day!)

This past Friday, back to Molson Amphitheatre (this time in SEATS!) to see Robyn & Keane at the Disco Lemonade festival. We started here:

And with a little luck and a smile, ended up here:

Brilliant! Yes, no zoom, we were pretty well front row on the floor. I've loved Robyn since her first disc in 1990, and discovered Keane on my travels. I listened to both these artists a lot while backpacking so it was a nostalgic, amazing concert.  (my fave Keane song - the video's a bit odd though!)

Next up? Florence & the Machine, November 3rd! Just got the disc on iTunes and it's amazing.
