Fall-ing in love

Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive

It's the way I’m feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go

We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place

Two jobs and school again, it must be fall!
Some of my friends have been celebrating their birthdays at my club and I always make sure they get special treatment and have a great time.  Here are a few photos from the birthday celebrations!
Last weekend was pink-themed; we hosted an event to support breast cancer research.

Always good times!
I love planning events but I hope to move out of the club industry soon.
I would love to participate in fashion shows behind the scenes!


The launch of Versace for H&M is on November 19th, this is an event that I will be waiting in line for here in Toronto.  Here is a small preview of what to expect...

I know I have not been updating much but I have been catching the spring shows and I have selected a few of my favourite designs to share with you.  There will be more soon, and I am craving an outdoor photo shoot with the leaves, they are such pretty colours right now.  Happy thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians this weekend!

Burberry hopped on the pattern-wagon this season and uses lots of ruched and feminine detailing for spring.  

Isabel Marant has perfectly embellished garments that are both practical and elegant with a touch of grunge.

Emilio Pucci uses lace and his signature textured patterns and rich colours.  This season, there is more of a digital psychedelic approach to his design showcase.

I love Chanel this spring, so simple and classic with whites & creams and an array of structured elegance.

Other trends for spring:
Mint, cotton candy pink, triangles, cropping and layering, longer skirts, sheer, shine & lace, gold & studs, embellishments


Stay warm my loves!
Any plans for Halloween?  ;)

Weekend antics

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

Weekends always seem to be crazier when the moon is full. 
Today is Monday and that means I have until Friday off, it is time to think about school and where I would like to do an internship.  I am really stuck between starting my career in either music or fashion, my true loves.  To work for a music company like Warner or MTV would be an amazing opportunity but my heart is set on fashion and writing... I would really love to do an internship at a fashion magazine.  I am putting together my application and portfolio right now!  I feel like I will never be happy enough with it to send it in.  I just really need to sit down and focus!
I have lots of treats for you guys coming up soon...FALL TREND UPDATES, runway highlights, an outfit post where (surprise) I'm not wearing black; I have a lot of cute colourful outfits to share with you before the summer ends and we are back to fall neutrals.  I am loving the crimson tones for this upcoming season as well! 
Just a few photos from the last week to tide you over - lots more to come!

More birthday fun

Oh it's simple, all the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, cause that's all that's left to you
It's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top
But if you're standing in the middle, ain't no way you're gonna stop

It was my friend Kristen's birthday tonight so I went out with some friends to celebrate!
Working at the club all weekend, however I will do a fall trends post and maybe some runway photos to get you inspired.
Even though I was not drinking tonight I managed to spill a little bit on myself, which you can notice in a few of the photos.  I should have expected this when earlier at home I had to change from the first outfit I put together because I spilled a ginger ale on myself while I was getting ready to go out.  It just wasn't my smoothest day, except I had a lot of fun tonight!  Here are some photos.

Dress - H&M
Earrings - Gift
Bracelets - Rainbow Jade & Magpie
Shoes - Anne Marino
Clutch - Coach


Do you and your friends have any birthday traditions?
I like singing birthday cards or funny cards that have nothing to do with the Holiday/theme/actual person you are giving it to.  Ours for Kristen sang Dun dun na na na na TEQUILA!!!


Kisses! Xoxo

Turn up the heat

I've been lied to and cheated on 
I've been shit talked, beat down, treated wrong, 
And I won't forgive or forget 
But I don't want to live with regret 
So I hope I can let go, move on, 
Try to forgive anybody who did me wrong 
Yeah right, I can hold hope, hoping it'll do but I don't think I got the will yet to...

Forgive, forget. That's a lesson that we haven't learned yet. 
We try, we cry. But a day doesn't die til the sun is set.

My weekend was spent AT THE CLUB "working" (not too hard), lots of fun!  This week is going to be all about scoping out internship opportunities and developing a career path.  I only have a little bit of school left and then I want to get serious about working in fashion and communications!  I also have a lot of blogging planned.  I received a lot of clothing and jewelry for my birthday and I can't wait to share them with you!  Just a few photos from the last week for you!

My girlfriend and I were the bartenders for the evening at my friend's get-together!

We were joking around when some fancy Polish ballet music came on my friend's Ipod randomly and started dancing.

Dress - H&M ($7 - got another one that's pink and black leopard print)

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!
