Shortn’ sweet

And just like that, I’m back in Ontario like nothing has changed.

Unfortunately this trip to Newfoundland was an unexpected one so it wasn’t exactly a vacation time per say. I probably shouldn’t have even told anyone I was going to be home because I was there to spend time with my parents. It wasn’t a time for socializing that’s for sure. Let’s just not get into details, shall we? This is a fun blog and not a serious one about what’s going on in my life, even though some times I’d like to tell you all exactly what’s going on and spill my guts. I’m just not that type of person, I’m quite private and it probably won’t be happening on this blog. lol. That’s that then.

I ended up flying out of Toronto on Wednesday at midnight and flew back this morning. I’m running on two hours sleep at the moment, and on top of that — after a full day of work I have to go to my dentist and get my filling replaced!

I don’t know when I’m going to be able to get something to eat (besides lunch) because my mouth is totally going to be frozen. 

It’s funny, every time I visit back home the weather is total garbage, guaranteed. No matter the time of year I go, it’ll always be RDF (rain, drizzle and fog) and holy, was I ever freezing my BUNS off! It was a bit ridiculous for the middle of the summer. I didn’t end up wearing any of my shorts, and I always wore socks — who wears socks in the summer!? Not I obviously, I actually had to go buy some at Zellers which I doubled up on my feet and wore them inside a pair of leather shoes and since it was raining … they ended up dying my socks and looking totally mental. Well, that was a waste of my Mom’s money.

I did end up buying a couple of things at one of my favorite Canadian stores — Winners. I will perhaps post photos when I get everything together. Exciting!

Well, off I go — back onto the regular mundane things in my life. Have a great Tuesday all!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed

Surprise! Guess where I AM!!!! I’m in Newfoundland.

Well, I guess you got theat from the previous post because I actually have been blogging from home for a couple of days now. Unfortunately tomorrow is my last day home and I get back on the airplane way too early on Tuesday morning, work that day AND have a dentist appointment to replace a filling after I get off work. I think I need a couple of shots of Capresso to get me through that busy filled day. Eugh, even talking about it is making me dread it.

So haiiii. I was up bright and early this morning to watch the local “Tele 10” road race where all my relatives, neighbours and even boyfriend raced then long 10 mile journey around town. I’m so proud! He placed 20th overall in a race with 2,300 people. NUTS!

That’s all for now…

I’m falling behind!

ootd-1I’m trying to keep my “fashion posts” updated as I now have an excuse to wear a different pair of shoes and get out of my boring clothing rut and dress in something different every single week lol. There ya have it. I chopped my legs off in this one because I was at home and my full length mirror is on top of a plastic drawer thing (need to pick up some cardboard boxes soon, as I’m moving out of this place in 4 weeks!). Plus, ooh la la my purse got in the photo this time. Ow ow sista.

So. Let’s see where all this junk is from, k?

Top: Banana Republic. I love shopping in BR when they have sales because I’m an XS and apparently they always have a TON of leftovers in XS as they apparently never sell out of it, and it goes on sale quickly. As I was told by a saleswoman. It’s super comfortable and hasn’t pilled up and is super quality. I think this was purchased in 2008? I don’t remember. Fail.
Pants: A recent purchase from the GAP at about $29.00 on sale. Score.
Shoes: Nine West from Sherway Garden’s mall in Toronto. They scuffed the first few days, and I tried to bring them back and complain, but they weren’t accepting that and now I’m stuck with them. At least they’re incredibly comfortable.
Purse: Nine West from a discount store and ended up getting this for $34! I bought this while I was home during Christmas 2008/2009(?)

Some close ups of the shoes and pinstriped pants. I should have bought a smaller size in these pants because I always seem to be hiking them up! Too late now! I also hiked up my pants for snapping the photo of my shoes. Trust me, these pants are long enough lol. Isn’t the fabric (pattern?) stripe? lovely? That’s way too many question marks in one blog entry for me. Especially in one paragraph.
