Apple and Cinnamon

(Eight Sixty top, Deena and Ozzy belt, Wilfrid pants)

I met up with a best friend from elementary school last night, we had dinner and tea afterwards. I ordered an apple and cinnamon tea and it was absolutely delicious! Much better than my teabag versions.... Anyways, today I headed to the library since I had some free time. I picked up a few books and even decided on two books written by Canadian authors. It's been a while since I've read books written by fellow Canadians lol. It was raining a bit, and I managed to see a rainbow. It wasn't too big but it was still pretty. I'm off to work now.

Joyeux Anniversaire Maman!!

(Dad's shirt, Gap top, Mom's vintage belt, scarf I knitted, Abercrombie pants, Wilfrid tights, Sam Edelman "Zoe")

We celebrated my mom's birthday today. Starting the day off surprising her with presents. I chose to get her a plant this year instead a of a bouquet because I don't like how bouquets die eventually. Plants however, can continue to grow and bloom flowers. Obviously though, who am I kidding? Bouquets score for being prettier. I also attempted to make her a necklace, though I don't think she'd ever really wear it...Anyways, we went to the temple for lunch, and I really can't deny, a simple vegetarian meal with my family is such a great way to start off the day. Driving back, we saw the moon amidst all the clouds! Today was the first time I saw the moon high up in the sky in the middle of the day. Another cool thing: on my mom's birthday (11/13), the gas prices were 111.3. Funny coincidence huh?

I really need to invest in some nicer markers...

Just taking a short trip through memory lane...

Back when my cousin and I used to have sleepovers, dress up, and take a few hundred pictures at a time...

I should really be working on my portfolio, but I suddenly had the urge to look through some old photos...why not share those precious memories? And embarrass my cousin a little...(although I chose the better pictures...there are some that would be pretty embarrassing for both of us..lol)

Anyways, it's time to get back to work

White Halloween

So I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween, it snowed here. What a wonderful day of decorating the house, organizing the candy to hand out, hanging around with the Family, and of course Trick-or-Treating for candy was a blast. Will I ever get too old for that? I hope not. After decorating the house and gathering some candy to hand out, my Sis and I attempted to roast some marshmallows at the fireplace. Clearly not possible with out fireplace...but it was nice to sit next to it and be toasty warm.

Pork bone soup. One of my most favourite dishes.

With my stash after Trick-or-Treating. Chupa Chups, my favourite.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

Pink, Raise Your Glass

Throughout the course of this week..

(Grandma's vintage scarf, Grandma's vest, Gap top, BDG jeans, Miss Sixty flats)

I've decided that on top of fashion design, I will also apply for fashion merchandising and management ("Fashion Communication" at Ryerson)

Decorated a little bit for Halloween (will finish the decorating on Halloween day--scared it might rain the night before, and waste my efforts)

(Dark Harts cardigan, Armani Exchange top, Jacob jeans)

Pumpkin, YUM

(Gap top, Vest-My own original design, Zara leggings, Sam Edelman "Zoe")

Just the usual-here's me looking for something in my bag. I've come to realize that in addition to having bad memory, I lose EVERYTHING. I especially hate it when I lose the essentials, and then I have to buy another one obviously (since it's an essential), and then I end up finding lost one two days later!

Here's my friend and I. We're Crackle and Pop! We went to celebrate Halloween with our friend at York uni. I only have a limited number of pictures from that night, but I'll post more when I have pictures of us with Snap!

Happy Halloween everyone!
