PLATED PEARLS

Here's to Halloween

My memory card is still lost and I'm a bit too lazy to walk all the way to Best Buy to purchase another, so until I decide to clean my room, I'll be unable to put up much posts (yes I know, my heart is broken too...) I hope you've all been enjoying your Halloweekend though! This year I went as a night goddess. Wore a flowy dress of sorts, a mask, and dark lipstick and walked around as mysteriously and sultry as I could. Now all I have to do is wait for Wednesday so that my Halloween will be complete (with candy, that is.)

I Like Cats

I hope you've all been enjoying your splendid weekends so far! I know I have. The end of hell week (midterm week) means I can finally go back to doing what I do best - staying in bed until noon, lazily getting brunch, and procrastinating all my homework until Sunday night. Even my attire has gotten pretty lazy. I pulled out this dress thinking I could wear a bunch of cats so everyone would understand my inspiration for sleeping all day, but as I walked out, I noticed they were a bunch of dogs. No biggy, I didn't terrier myself up about it.

You Take Me The Way I Am

I know I'm not the only one who's wished for more hours during the day--it's hard to jam-pack everything I need to do in less than 24 hours. Maybe that's why I'm so grateful for hats! Sure it seems like a chic accessory but it's also a strategic, sneaky way to avoid washing your hair for just one more day! err...not that I avoid washing my hair or anything...I'm not that lazy..

Day Off

Oct 12, 2012

{Captured by Sherry - wearing vintage cashmere sweater, H&M skirt, NY&C coat necklace and tights, Macy's boots, YSL Grenat Satisfaction lipstick}

Feeling sick means you can get away with curling up in bed in a warm robe, your favorite heels (I really like shoes), and some hot tea while watching The Devil Wears Prada. So I guess it's not all bad? I took the day off to help regain my strength and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to my incredible ~~minions~~ friends, I was able to get warm soup at the ring of a bell. he-he.

Unfortunately, had to step out to run a few errands later in the day. Thank the lord for warm cashmere, thick tights, and comfy booties. It was definitely one of those lazy days where you just throw your hair back into a pony tail, swipe on some oober dark lip color, and stomp down Yonge St pretending to be healthy. My favorite accessory? A packet of Kleenex.

Friends Are Sweet

Oct 9, 2012

Today I thought I'd share some pictures of my best friends! I picked up these little guys at the Eaton center yesterday to make Thanksgiving a bit less lonely. Nothing like delicious berries dipped in luxurious dark chocolate to help you forget about how much of a loner you are. Now all I need is an elegant gold and white horse and long flowy hair and I'll be just as godly as these treats.

Giving Thanks

Oct 8, 2012

For those of us who reside in the Country that is known for its maple syrup, free healthcare, and hockey, today is Thanksgiving. It's strange to celebrate it before Halloween and without Turkey and family, but thank god for the friends who stayed on campus with me. Today was spent doing a lot of (probably unnecessary) shopping and savoring luxurious chocolate covered strawberries with the wonderful Shanu. So yeah, I guess I'm thankful for retail therapy and my best friend, Godiva. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Nights in Toronto

Oct 5, 2012

{Photos by Sherry - wearing Ralph Lauren dress and coat, Chanel wallet, pearl earring necklace and bracelet, ModCloth heels, H&M stockings}

Took these shots in front of Max Mara right after an inauguration type thing at university. Luckily, my amazing friend Sherry had her handy-dandy phone and shot me in my "natural habitat" (apparently that's Bloor St?). I enjoyed the rest of the night at 7 West enjoying delicious desserts and tea with one of the sweetest girls in the world. Anyways, the inauguration was extremely cool. I'm a huge fan of old traditions, even if it means lighting candles, signing a book, and chanting cult-like chants. UofT is getting more magical every day...

Speaking of magical! Last night, a few of my friends and I went out to a James-Bond themed pub night. Can't say no to an excuse to dress as a classy, sexy bond girl, eh? Unfortunately, it got pretty dull. No matter how "classy" a drunk douche-bag dresses, he's still a drunk douche-bag..how unfortunate :(. On the way home, Nicole ran into one of her friends and we ended up at their house which was home to many many beautiful people. And by beautiful I mean perfect-face-perfect-body-how-are-you-human-wow-you-are-so-hot beautiful. I kid you not, there was a guy there with Chase Crawford's face and Jesus's abs.

Shedding Some Light

Oct 4, 2012

{Photos by Sherry - wearing ModCloth dress, Predictions heels, XXI hair clip}

Life has been very interesting lately. Moving from the states to Canada is definitely a huge change and though at first it was overwhelming and scary, I've never felt happier. The people I've met, the things I've seen, the opportunities.... Everything has been bringing me so much joy. Hope your days have been as bright as mine!

Puddles of Fun

Oct 3, 2012

{Photos by Sherry - wearing Ralph Lauren rain boots, Banana Republic jeans, Katie top, XXI earrings, gifted hair bow}

There are lots of good things about the rain. For one, it sounds so beautiful and calming. It also helps with life and all that jazz, but most importantly, it keeps the "omg I don't want to get my hair wet AHHHH!!!!!" girls indoors. I took advantage of this great opportunity by taking a very long walk around campus in my favorite pair of rain boots. I'm not sure if I love them so much because they're my favorite designer, or because they allow me to jump in puddles on my way to class. I think it's the latter.

Fall Spirit

Oct 2, 2012

{Ruche Kindred Spirit Lookbook}

I can't express my adoration for this gorgeous editorial by Ruche. Doesn't it just make you fall so much more in love with fall? Plus, I'm super into horses so it really got my emotions to stirrup (pun always intended). Well, thought I'd share the ethereal, gorgeous shots with you. Also, while you're looking through their amazing clothing, why not listen to one of my favorite songs? Really sets the mood.
