Spring is in the air

If you've got something that you need to say,
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
It's moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound...


As we go on, we remember
All the times we've spent together
As our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friends forever


- Vitamin C -- Graduation


As I complete my final year of school I am left with the sentiments that I presume many graduates hold:  what now?  Where does my life go from here?
Caught in the cross roads and living life to the fullest every day.
Next posts will have spring trend updates!  I am seeing PINK everywhere in every shade it makes me so happy.


The new Jacob L'Atelier line features Audrey-Hepburn inspired styles in materials like silk and chiffron.  Perfect for any spring or summer occasion including weddings and outdoor events, these dresses are absolutely stunning and a definite step up for Canada's Jacob.  I got a chance to pop in the Eaton Centre and check out some of the designs in person.

My two favourite designs on the mannequins!

Just a few photos from a night out with my girls Jyl and Ashley...

California dreamin'

Be my fairy to the world,

Be my very own constellation,

A teenage bride with a baby inside

Getting high on information

And buy me a star on the boulevard

It's Californication

- CALIFORNICATION -- RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

Happy holidays!
I know I said I would do a winter post but I just got back from a vacation in California so I thought I would just share a few tease photos.
My girlfriend is going to upload pictures from her camera tonight so I will do another post for you tomorrow!
So sorry I have been M.I.A. my loves.  What with my thesis, finishing school, and sneaking off for a vacation, I really have been neglecting my poor little blog.
The good news is that I did so much shopping in California that I was literally holding two pairs of shoes in my hand on the way home while wearing a pair that I bought because they just wouldn't fit in my shoes.
Got a D.K.N.Y. bag that is to die for and tons of other goodies!
Stay tuned!
For now just a few photos from my day trip to Los Angeles.  I want to live there!  I have my heart set on a fashion magazine internship but now I am going to take some time to explore my options abroad.  I love California!

Just a few phone photos!
Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Muscle Beach, Palm Springs

Happy Holidays to all!

Summer lovin'

I think about you in the summertime
And all the good times we had baby
Been a few years and I can't deny
The thought of you still makes me crazy
- NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK -- SUMMERTIME 


Can not believe it is August already!  I am in love with the summer, it always makes me sad when it is down to the last month or so.  No time to waste!
Related news:  I am officially a beach bum!  I have been to every beach in the area (pretty much) and still no tan to brag about. 
I have met a lot of really cool people this summer and spent time with old friends too.
Campfires, beach, clubs, hikes, long walks, patios, shopping (there's a sweet outdoor mall around here called Don Mills), road trips, traveling... what are your favourite things to do in the summer?  

Beach photos!  With my friend Ashley we had an awesome day at the beach! <3 She has a gorgeous Coach collection, here are some of her goodies.

Now for a few more of my birthday goodies!  I snapped these photos a while ago but never had the chance to share them with you.

Swarovski earrings & necklace set, gift from step dad

BCBG bandage skirt!  It is a lot more fitted than it looks.  Gift from mum.

Custom made James Dean tunic from my brother and his girlfriend, can't wait to wear this with some denim shorts or tights.

Out and about promoting for my new club!  Dress is from Jacob, necklace from Swarovski.

Crazy wind hair!  This is a new silver heart-shaped locket I got from Winner's... looove it.
Sunglasses from Guess.


Don't let your summer slip away!
Kisses

Paradise Island

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Back from the Dominican Republic!

Hanging around the pool during a quiet Monday afternoon.  The weekend was packed full of locals since it was their long weekend in the Dominican Republic.  We saw lots of culture that's for sure!  I tried to get my tan on and I have a little bit of colour but my Icelandic/English background doesn't really allow for the ideal golden bronze colour I was aiming for.  Baithingsuit from Bikini Village, sunglasses from Guess.

Back in my room and on the balcony getting ready for dinner!  Dress from BCBG, flower from H&M.

Beach bum!  I love the beach... the sand, sun and salt water are some of my favourite things and it is definitely one of my favourite places to be.  Baithingsuit from La Vie En Rose.

Jurassic Park Mountain!  This is where they filmed the movies.  Wearing a dress from Forever 21, Tiffany key and a Prada purse.  

Last day!  Bye bye paradise...


Random Photography
I have many more too that I will share with you soon.

A giant chess board!  I almost felt like I was in Alice in Wonderland! :) 

Presents for everyone back home!


It's Canada Day!  Glad to be back home (to hot weather) and to celebrate here is a picture of Kate Middleton's amazing Maple Leaf hat that she wore to the ceremonies today.  Picture via celebuzz.

Time for some fireworks!
PS -- I turn 24 tomorrow!

In this great future,
You can't forget your past...

No woman no cry...

Well my lovely fashionistas I am off to the Dominican Republic for a week!  I will leave you with my most recent beach photos in Grand Bend and will be updating next weekend.  I've done quite a few posts this month hope you check them all out while I am gone!  

My ridiculously pasty legs!  This will change when I get back from the Dominican.  My feet are starting to heal but you can see how swollen and blistered they are from working so much in heels.  

Why horse around when you can lion around?!


Wearing:
Dress - Spoof
Bikini - La Vie En Rose
Flip Flops - Old Navy
Sunglasses - Guess


I am loving the new Cruise 2012 lines that have been coming out.  I decided to collect a few photos of my favourite designers from style.com and post some inspiration for tropical destination outfits and for the warmer weather.  I will have to take my phone with me to make sure I catch all the new shows, some of my favourites are yet to come.  Vacation pictures will be up when I get back!  So excited!!!


Louis Vuitton
They went with a funky, edgy biker theme with lace and leather, nautical colours and some super high footwear!  I love the results. 

Perfection in the details!
Everything from the bows on each layer of the shoe to the subtle addition of patterns and accessories from goggle-shaped eyewear to anklets and gloves.
Helmets are a cute touch!


Gucci
Often my favourite, this line was more neutral, minimal and structured with only hints of bright colours and accents of yellow and gold.  Very elegant, classic and chic. 

I want ALL the shoes from this collection!!!!!!  I am also having the first craving in my entire life to wear yellow.
All the photos I chose to share with you are of one of my favourite models, Kasia Struss.  I love her defined face and Barbie-like features!  She looks stunning in absolutely anything.
Runway photos from style.com.


Have a great week my loves!
