Winter's cold is too much to handle..

The Sartorialist

These two images en-capture my final winter-turned-spring inspiration.

Now it's heating up, and any signs of opaque tights, trenches, peacoats,

or--my favourite--an oversized scarf, must be put to rest until the fall.

For the past few months these two images have haunted me.

Perfect pictures of the busy lives of the lady I would love to be...

And shoes and bags to DIE for.

H&M shoes and men's cardigan, Wilfrid top, 2 year old Abercrombie shorts, DIY Juicy necklace, New OPI nailpolish hahaha, Shrek collection. So cute!

Totally Gloomy Monday.

Despite the dark weather, I put on a springy little number for my lunch plans.

Me and two close friends had lunch at the local Vietnemese restaurant,

followed by TCBY fro-yo. Mmmm.

Pardon the poor quality self-portraits I keep posting!

Eventually I will have better outfits and better photographs.

Mom's Menagerie

It was finally a beautiful sunny day, so I set off outside with my little camera.

Having just woken up and in my Friday-morning-pyjama'd best,

I couldn't get much further than my own backyard.

Aside from my silly self-portraits,

you'll see a collection of piles my eccentric parents consider beautiful.

Ah, the world of the artist.

"I've been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 AM than I do in an entire day, but if I wake up at 6:59 AM and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine, I will have done enough and killed no one in the process."

Craving the sunshine.

"You just live harder than everyone else."

So I failed with the outfit posts.

Running from the gym to the shower to the bar is.. exactly as difficult as it sounds.

Anyway, don't worry. I have many day outfits planned and will have more time soon.

I really want to share my looks with the universe and see what it thinks.

Below: Kaya Scodelario.

Her bone structure and eyebrows are mesmerizing in this photo.

Pictured below with Lily Loveless.

I like their bold style - not necessarily what's in at the moment,

but absolutely cute nonetheless.

Obsessed with Lily's trench.

I Love The Way You Work It.

Monday Afternoon - Prepared a delicious pre-gym salad.

Leaving in an hour to work my ass off, and FINALLY going out tonight.

Expect a real outfit post later this evening!

Salad:

Baby spinach, goat cheese, dried cranberries, one small tomato.

Home-made balsamic dressing (added after photo):

Balsamic vinegar, light olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon, sugar.

GORGEOUS jumper.

So carefree and relaxed.

What spring should be, no matter who you are.

Fashion Carnage.

The images below chronicle the sad, sad tale of some serious lessons learned on my part.

I leant these gorgeous (not to mention SO goddamn comfortable) babies out to a close friend.

We were all going out in Montreal, and she had no heels.

Being the fashion lover I am, I INSISTED that she wear something 4 inches...

Looked through my luggage, and offered to lend her these.

Now, not only are these beautiful just because, they had sentimental value, too.

I bought them specifically for my mom's wedding to my step-dad last August.

I LOVED these shoes.

After their purchase, I found myself leaping at any opportunity to wear them...

Leaving many other great shoes untouched for months.

So, this fateful night, my lovely little friend found herself in a hospital bed.

She was fine... a little too drunk, but fine.

Not so fine - the shoes weren't going to recover.

Now I have big plans to get them re-soled and to have something done to fix those heels,

But the pain of having my precious MK's out of commission for the summer...

Well... it resides deep within my heart.

An ache for a close friend.

My zippered BFF.

Here is the damage done:

Photo-shoe-t.

Thank god! Found the camera, hooked it up, all is well.

Major breakdown for a second there, though, trying to get it working.

Below is a compilation of shoes I own and adore.

Sorry about the crappy backgrounds of my images as well!

I'm at my parents' house, it's somewhat of a wonder emporium.

Wish they looked more professional!

Shoes: Aldo, Aldo, Icon, Aldo, H&M, H&M, Spring, Aldo, Aldo.

I'm about to post a sad, sad story about my beloved Michael Kors...
