Day in the life

Since I'm going to be launching my new website soon I thought I would take the time to tell you a little bit about myself with a photo sequence of an average day in my life.   
ALL PHOTOS TAKEN WITH MY IPHONE.

Harpist:  I have been playing the harp since I was ten years old, and I just started teaching lessons to beginners of all ages.

Organized clutter: Basically explanation of my closet, bathroom, and regimen...

Retired bartender with ten years of hospitality experience under my belt.  I started as a host when I was 15, and I have maintained every position including server, manager, and promoter.

Publicist for a television show, Musically Yours, Deirdre Mallehe, which promotes local music talent from the Toronto area.  The show has an average of 30,000 viewers per week and airs on Rogers TV and COGECO Niagara, Burlington and Oakville.  The host is featured here with Theory Fleury and the VP of Warner Music Canada. 

Promotional Agent:  I am currently promoting Carlsberg and the EuroCup.

I work 9-5 downtown at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment as an Intern in the Communications department.  Home of the Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, the Air Canada Centre, Real Sports, and Toronto FC.
Country girl at heart who loves the beach, warm weather, animals and the outdoors.

Much love!

In a bleak midwinter

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

- DOG DAYS ARE OVER -- FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE


All I want to do this time of year is hibernate.
It is so cold that as soon as you take a step outside your face starts to freeze.
I wish I could go back to California!
No news updates for me; I have been mostly working, sleeping, eating, and working on finding the perfect fit for an internship.  I am planning on leaving Toronto for a few months to a surprise destination.  I would tell you but I am not too sure yet, all I know is that an internship in Toronto is mostly a back-up plan if nothing else falls into place.
I am wondering, how is the winter treating you wherever you are?
Today is about a few winter goodies that have been cheering me up.  It is a little depressing that I can not wear most of these shoes in two feet of snow.  However, summer is on the way!  I will share a few more photos from my California trip as well.
Stay tuned for my favourites from S/S 2012 in the next post.
New shoes, purses, and bags.
Shoes top to bottom:
Random boutique - 100$ on sale for 15$
Red pumps - ALDO 100$ on sale for 30$
Mesh and leather black heels - ALDO 100$ on sale for 30$
Nude and black pumps - Sterling 80$ on sale for 30$ each


My extremely unorganized bin full of shoes.  When I get my own place I am getting shelves.  I have boxes piled up beside my bed as well.
Sequin clutch - BCBG (gift <3 )
Cloth clutch with adjustable strap - DKNY


Still more California party pictures to come!

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


Dress - Boutique 12$
Shoes - Aldo 20$
Bag - Guess
Necklace - Silver Locket
Sunglasses - Old


Happy Holidays to all!
Lots more updates soon.
I got my New Years dress!  Have you?!

Brights, whites and a day at the beach

I feel the breeze 
My top is down 
And all I do 
Is ride around 
And where I go 
I just don't care 
A place to chill 
To get away

I take it day by day 
No work or play 
Nowhere to stay 
And I just need 
To clear my mind 
To find my role 
In space and time

I'm just cruising 
And I wonder if I'll ever find my way

--NALIN & KANE - BEACH BALL (CRUISIN')


I went to the beach yesterday with one of my besties which was super relaxing!  I work tonight and tomorrow night as a bottle service girl.  That is the one job in the service industry I have not tried yet so it's pretty exciting!  Since I have the whole week free I will be looking for a career job soon.  I am 24 now and basically old enough to get out of the service industry!  Hopefully this new club will be fun it is a social club with a mature crowd.  Tonight I am wearing a black dress with blood red stilettos!  Stay tuned for pictures and don't forget to check out my last post with trend updates, more soon!  
Jen and I had a great time in Wasaga.  We laid on the beach, walked around and I handed out some promo flyers for the club... a lot of people seem really interested!
