Summertime adventures

These lies and deceptions
Only affecting us in a negative way, wrong direction
Starting to fade away our connection
Will we ever find a way to progress
And live life for each second
Without second guessin'


It is great to actually have a weekend and not dedicate it to just working!
The weather here was so gorgeous except that it can change in a second; you often end up wearing two outfits in one day or having to layer like crazy.  It does not help my laundry pile.
Last night I went to a barbeque at my girlfriend's house, my brother came along with some of my close friends.  This morning when I went for brunch with my girlfriend her car battery died, we got it boosted and then it died again.  One trip to Canadian Tire and a lot of cash later she had a brand new battery and we headed back to my place.  Once there she locked her keys in her car.  It was actually quite a fun day aside from the mishaps!  It was so beautiful outside I am starting to get a tan.
Without further ramblings I will show you some outfit pictures from the past days!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and having a great weekend.
My shoes are missing in the pictures but they are brown ankle combat-style open toe boots!

Outfit - Summer afternoon

So speak kind to a stranger 
Cause you'll never know
It just might be an angel 
Knockin' at your door 
Knockin' at your door
And I'm waiting on an angel 
And I know it won't be long
To find myself a resting place
In my angel's arms
In my angel's arms
Waiting on an angel 
One to carry me home
Hope you come to see me soon
Cause I don't want to go alone
I don't want to go alone 
Don't want to go
I don't want to go alone

Here is a quick outfit post on a nice sunny afternoon.
I accessorized with a watch, belt, and headband.
My new waitressing job is really hard on my body.  I need a job in fashion, soon.
Almost done my degree! 
Time to go serve nachos and food. Sigh!

Outfit - Soft jersey

People think that I'm crazy, just cause I wanna be alone
You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze
We all deal with shit on our own
And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand
Yeah, you know it gets full blown
I never said that you mean the world to me
Maybe it's best that you never know

 -- CLOCK WITH NO HANDS - THE ROOTS

I love soft clothing.  The first thing I always check is the material because it is equally as important to me how the garment looks and feels.  Some of my favourites are jersey cotton, silk, satin, and cashmere.  Here is a quick outfit, all the garments are made from jersey cotton mixed with spandex.  This allows for me to move around easier at work and keeps me comfortable all night.  It is a little hazy this weekend but Toronto is promised gorgeous weather tomorrow and it is my day off!  As for tonight, I am heading to Starbucks then to work.  I usually get an iced grande white mocha, lactaid since I am lactose intolerant!  No cheese, no milk, no ice cream, no pizza!  Torture!  Here is my outit for the evening at the bar.  I am only there for four hours tonight so I don't have to worry about sore feet.  I spent this afternoon shopping and picked up a few dresses, I have some events and promotions coming up.  Check them out too!

Blurry bathroom pic!!! Yuuup...  The best kind.  :)

Trying to get the shoes again :)

I'm wearing:
Tanktop - Forever 21
Skirt - American Apparel
Shoes - Spring
Shrug - Urban Behaviour

Here are the dresses I picked up today!  I spent about 65$ in total so not bad at all!  Stay tuned for outfit posts.

They are all straplessssss....  Time for a close up of some details :)
Both these dresses are from Urban Behaviour.
Dress 19$ from Winners down from about 70$.

So excited to dress them up!  Ooops I'm going to miss Starbucks if I don't head out!

Outfit - Wake me up when September ends


Wasted days, I’m caught up in the fruitless chase
Wanting more than anything that’s come before
And I wish I didn’t have to choose
When I know there is so much to lose

Cruel desires blind me to the simple things
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings
Cruel desires blind me to the simple things
Lost in fires of passionate imaginings

Simple things, simple things 

--Armin Van Buuren

 Today was OFFICIALLY my LAST day of school.  I had to give a speech today (on Alexander McQueen)  and it went pretty well.  I have one more exam to write NEXT Wednesday and I AM ON VACATION!  I had to wake up super early to get ready so I'm exhausted in these pictures!!!  I guess I could have gone outside to take photos, it's a BEAUTIFUL day but I needed to take them myself today so I tried as hard as I could with my point and shoot.
The look is military inspired!

If I look tired, it is because I am!!! Close up of my real pearl necklace :)
Sun is shining, finished school!!!  In such a great mood!!!!
