As you may already know...

…this is how we do.

Styled(some) and photographed (unless I'm in it) by yours truly.

XO,

Saturday, August 27, 2011

My cousin and I have been talking about it forever. We haven't done one in so long. It used to be almost like tradition. So despite this impending hurricane, we quickly finished dinner, ended up lazing around a bit..and finally got around to doing what we have been talking about for ages. Dressing up and taking pictures! Every year, a handful of times, we spontaneously have mini-photoshoots. Just because we are cool like that. Anyways, because of the hurricane, all the stores were closed, and we stayed in, ate like crazy, and watched Project Runway. Sounds a lot like what we will be doing tomorrow…

xo,

p.s. My cousin forced me to give her credit…So, thanks Anna for helping me take beautiful pictures. Visit her at www.naturellaa.blogspot.com !

p.p.s. She styled me too. If you guessed, yes, she did make me write that too.

In New York city...

...landlords suck

Our contract started on the 15th, we moved in on the 19th. This has been here since before we moved, and it still looks like this right now.

I hope it braves the hurricane.

xo,

rewind

finally an update

A couple of weeks ago (before the big move), I was frantically trying to meet up with a bunch of good friends before I had to leave. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures except for this one time I went with a few girls to eat dinner and wander around for some desserts.

Sitting at the apartment alone (my cousin went to orientation, I'm too rebellious for those things :P (just kidding)) and looking at pictures taken in Toronto makes me feel slightly nostalgic. My family just left yesterday, and experiencing the "earthquake" (I didn't feel anything..but still had to evacuate the Apple store for what felt like an hour), I was extremely worried for my family because I knew it was felt around Toronto as well. Anyways, since it's Toronto, and practically the greatest city in the world (I'm biased), everything is fine. Anyways, plans for today:

Go out and buy a laptop case

Go out in general and not be a loser who stays at home with nothing to do in a new and exciting city..

xo,

On a side note, the milk and yogurt here tastes funny, but it might be because we accidentally left the fridge ajar yesterday when we went out. ugh
