new nail polish and tag post.

Hi everyone, I hope your weekends went well! Mine was good and bad. I opened at work both days, so that wasn't great, but I also got to see some amazing people. Speaking of work, one of the things I hate the most, is that I'm not allowed to paint my nails. So when I went away, I was determined to make the most of this opportunity! I bought this really pretty greenish-blue colour. What do you think?

music post: vacation edition!

I love British pop music. I don't know when it started exactly, but over the years, it has taken over my CD collection. (At least half of my CDs have been imported!) When I was in high school, there was this specialty channel that used to play episodes of Top Of The Pops. I remember on the first episode I watched, Gareth Gates was number one with "Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)." I immediately fell in love, and scoured the room for a pen so I could write down his name. After the show ended, I Googled him and imported every single he had released.

shopping haul: vacation edition!

Since returning home, I never seem to have enough time to get things done. Which is why it has taken me a bit of time to get this posted. My apologies! Coming home from London/Paris, my suitcase was heavy. It was way over the weight limit, but they let it slide, thank goodness! Shopping in London is just the greatest thing ever. I bought a fair amount of new clothes, and a bunch of new shoes! They are from various places, but mostly New Look, Primark (love love love), TopShop and Forever21. Here are some of the things I picked up while I was away.

vacation pictures!

As you all know, I recently got back from visiting London and Paris! Since getting back to Canada, I have been trying to catch up on a million different things - the price of going away! I have a lot to share about my trip, which I will do throughout the week. But to start with, here are some of the pictures I took. We spent a week in London, where I did an awful lot of shopping. I've been to London many times before, so most of the tourist stuff, I had already done. Basically, I shopped, went to Kensington Gardens, Camden Town, and went and saw a couple of British singers that I love. (More on that in another post!) The weather was lovely and sunny, which was great.

we should come home from adventures...with new experience and character.

After an amazing week and a half of vacation, I am back home. Personally, I detest returning from holidays - it is inevitable, sadly! Getting back into routine and catching up on what you missed seems almost impossible. I had a fantastic time in London and Paris - regular old home just doesn't seem to match up at the moment. Over the next week or so, I'll be filling you all in on my trip, so look out for that.

the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

Very early tomorrow morning, I am heading to the airport to fly to London, England. London is my favourite place in the entire world. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled there four times before, but I have really been looking forward to this trip. I will be spending a week in London, and then three days in Paris. I am really excited to go to Paris, as I have never been before! I love traveling. So far in my life, I've been able to do a fair amount of it. It seems that every time I save up a bit of money, I'm spending it on a trip somewhere. It's worth it though.

kiss goodbye summer.

I have been avoiding the end of summer as much as possible. Despite the fact that it is nearly October (how did that happen??), I am still struggling with accepting the changing season. As a way to get myself to accept that it is fall, this post is all about fall inspirations.There are a lot of big things coming up for me in October. I am traveling, have exciting plans made with good friends, my birthday is at the end of the month, and then of course there is Halloween! I am optimistic.
