Quiet, we’re at Stanford!

ootd-Stanford-headerI don’t always have a photographer at my beck and call, but luckily I had an equally excited friend to have a photoshoot. One day in April we headed out to the incredibly beautiful Stanford University campus before Megan moved back to Canada, and I went on my mini vacation to Newfoundland. It was such a fun day hanging out with her, and trying different poses – and getting really excited about snagging a good shot, squealing then high fiving one another, until we realized how loud we were being. We saw a ton of those fancy lookin’ ivy league male students look out the window at us wondering WTF we were doing. That’s when we raced away, changed into another outfit and started all over again. In another location on the campus ;) You can see Megan’s photos here.

I swear this part of campus was in movies. I knew I recognized these arches even before seeing them in person. But from where?? Does anyone know if it’s ever been in the hollywood movies?

ShoesMegan and I snuck into one of the buildings in campus to use the bathrooms. Hey if they’re not meant to be used, they would’ve locked the main doors am I right? There, we re-applied our lipglosses, brushed our hair and talked how amazing it would be to run into James Franco. He’s from Palo Alto originally. I doubt he’d be hanging around Stanford Campus during the middle of a day at University’s year end. Never know though! Unfortunately we didn’t spot him.

California has not changed me

6 Comments

As you read this, I’m either on an airplane or stuck in Chicago airport for 7 hours while I wait for another leg of my flight back to California.

I thought it was only appropriate to show an outfit of the day where I hung out with my new blogger bud Megan. She was also living in California but moved back to Toronto just a few short days ago. So sad I won’t be seeing her pretty face on the regular anymore. But I remember this day back in late April, one of our last few visits with each other.

You’ll notice an iced coffee in my hands for some of the photos – which I might add was the blandest wateriest iced coffee I’ve spent my money on. I’ll be talking about that spot on the blog at another point and time. Anyhoodle. Back to the blog post, it’s supposed to be all fashiony and such. I think this was somewhere in the Mission district of San Francisco. Either way, it was hot, it was fun, and I was awkward. You’ll see after the mirror selfies in this bathroom in San Francisco which has terrific selfie lighting. Just sayin.

Outfit details will be listed at the bottom of the post. Hint, everything is under $20.

Do yo like the shirt I’m wearing? I call it my zoo-keeper shirt. I kinda feel like one, wearing it. All rustic and worn-in looking, and it has that general feel to it with the green. AM I RIGHT?

Awkward-dances-in-SFDon’t worry, California hasn’t changed me. I’m still doing the awkward dances in the street trying to shake my wiggles out and decide on how to post for the next picture. As soon as I saw this picture, I laughed so much I had to ask Megan if my mascara was running. I also may have let out a snort-laugh while I was at it. You know I’m laughing hard then. I immediately sent the picture to my husband and he wrote back “are you sitting on an invisible bench?” Cracked me right up.

Laughing-in-SFThen I started laughing again. Not knowing what to do with my body. I can be so awkward. :) But it’s all in good fun. We had a fantastic time laughing and carrying on trying to take some of the photos.

And to finish off the set, a few serious ones and a blooper of me putting my sunnies back on my shirt.

San Francisco Style – Outfit of the day

29 Comments

I’ve been spending the majority of my time in San Francisco lately, to get as much girl-time in with my new friend, Megan. We met in person about a month ago, by finding each other on Instagram, not realizing we were both Canadian. So we HAD to meet up.

Unfortunately, Megan is moving back to Toronto within the next few weeks. Each time we’re together, the hours simply fly by — it’s like we’ve known each other for years! I just love the ease of friendship we have and how easy it is to just chat with her. We click SO well, and it’s too bad we didn’t meet sooner. But I’m glad we bonded, and I’ll cherish our time together. Doesn’t mean we’ll never see each other again, right?

I feel like I rarely do outfit of the day blog posts anymore, so here is what I wore last week while spending the day with her in San Francisco. :)
