You can't look at a cupcake without smiling

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat .. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost ...
And what you had ...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing

It snowed again here today and I am not happy.

NOT HAPPY.

Here is something to cheer myself (and hopefully you) up.  To be honest, anything pink almost always cheers me up.

Chanel cupcakes from Cupcakes Nouveau.  

Too pretty to eat.

Mother nature, are you there?  It's me, Veronica.  CHILL WITH THE SNOW.  BRING ME SOME SUNSHINE AND WARMTH.  Thanks so much.

On the bright side I had an awesome weekend I got to spend some time with a girlfriend I had not seen for a while.  It was recently my best friend's birthday, so we had a party at her house last night then went to some shoebox club upstairs on top of a pub and had a blast there as well.  I took a bunch of pictures but you only get to see one for now because I am waiting for my friend to upload some that she took so that I can post all of them for you guys.

I start a new job tomorrow!  So excited it should be amazing!  Details soon.

I recently bought two pairs of black pumps because I need to wear heels while I am working, the girls at my work dress so cute, I can't wait to show you guys!  I also bought some accessories to spice up the plain black.

I needed something to do to avoid studying for my exam tomorrow so I made a shopping list of just a few items I would love to purchase in the upcoming future.  The Miu Miu baithingsuit is amazing!  I love the colour, the shape, and the little white bow accent.  Perfect for me but I don't know if I would like the tan lines.  Oh summer, please come faster!

Isabel Marant spring 2011

I love this outfit!  It is chic and casual, with just the right amount of colour for me.  I love her entire spring line it is to die for!

Out with some girlfriends!  More pictures will be up soon, my outfit has two cut-out mesh sides that I am thinking about removing from the dress so that skin will be showing there.  You will see what I mean soon!

Exam tomorrow as well (of course I am procrastinating by doing this blog) but it is a blessing in disguise that my friend has an exam tomorrow too, and she's much better at actually studying so she hasn't put her pictures up yet.  Otherwise I would be on here for much longer and posting way more pictures!

Back to the books!

Happy Monday everybody!

Is anyone interested in a link exchange?  I want to see some new blogs!  Give me your links :)

Electronic relaxation

I heard that your dreams came true,

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

-ADELE -- SOMEONE LIKE YOU

I went out to a club last night with my girlfriend and something interesting happened; I found a CD just hanging around.  It was house music and when I put it on in my car I fell in love.  Now that is some brilliant PR, promotional material that captures someone's attention randomly and they become a fan for life.  I thought I'd hype him on here because the songs were awesome if you like house or electronic music then this is definitely worth checking out.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I forget to brush my teeth before I go to sleep in fact I am almost 24 years old and I still don't have a cavity.  I went to my girlfriend's house unprepared and I was taking care of her at the end of the night because she had a few too many drinks, needless to say I did not brush my teeth before I went to bed and I HATED it, so it inspired me to give you guys a few of the beauty tricks I use to stay fresh when I am partying or out all night.  If you are going out:

1)  BRING A TOOTHBRUSH.  Enough said.


SOME MORE ESSENTIALS

1)  BODY SHOP body butter - The original, and amazing.  This one is coconut with shimmer and as far as I know it is the only scent available with a shimmer and I usually just use it when I go out to the club. It is available in a plethora of flavours and without shimmer if that's not your thing.
2)  FAST shampoo - Available at Trade Secrets.  Contains herbs and amino acids to make your hair grow super fast, since we kill our hair with the dryer and straightener and that damage can prevent your hair from growing at full speed.
3)  CAKE satin sugar hair and body powder - This is an amazing alternative to baby powder in your hair when it is a little greasy or you've been dancing hard all night.  Throw a little of this on your roots and your hair will look like you just washed it and smell fantastic.  I personally don't recommend use on your body.
4)  PERFUME SAMPLES - Any brand you like in a smaller form will be handy in your clutch when you go out for the night.
5)  MAC  Concealer pot and studio fix are AMAZING.  Studio fix gets rid of shine where the cover up is amazing for under the eyes when you look tired.


And now some pictures from my night out!  I got dressed for the day time then decided to go out last minute so my outfit is pretty plain -  I would have definitely added some colour to my outfit, plus my sweaterdress ended up being super hot!

Wearing:
Sweater - Mango
Sweater dress - H&M
Socks - Club Monaco
Necklace - Tiffany's
Bag - LV

P.S. What do you guys think of the new header?

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck

I've been alone with you inside my mind 
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times 
I sometimes see you pass outside my door 
Hello, is it me you're looking for? 

I can see it in your eyes 
I can see it in your smile 
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide 
'Cause you know just what to say 
And you know just what to do 
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ... 
-- HELLO - LIONEL RICHIE


I have the day off so I am hanging out here at home and I plan on going out tonight to have some fun.  I have a pretty relaxed work weekend aside from the Statistics assignment I have no idea how to even begin.  I have a collection of photographs I took during the last few weeks to share with you guys.

This photo is from a media networking event we held at my school for my Events Management class! It was quite a success.  The theme was based on the Lionel Richie song and was called "Hello, Is It Me You're Looking For?"  We had professionals in all of the streams in my program: journalism, public relations, image arts, and digital communications.  My good friend Nikki Jumper from Nikki Jumper Photography was there and she touched the lives of many aspiring photographers.  My other good friend Adnan from Adnan Media was there as well, he is one of the best marketing and promotions agents Toronto has ever seen.  He is deeply involved in the Club and Entertainment scene and has a database of 6000+.  One of the guest speakers I highly admired was Deb Weinstein from Strategic Objectives who has a fascinating career in public relations, television, and other media.

Listening to a public relations guest speaker...I call this my "learning" face.  :)

These were taken with my new Blackberry Torch where I spend a lot of time, in my Nissan driving to school.  I took these before leaving my driveway at some ridiculously early time.


Time to share with you a few of the new items I have picked up lately.
I am dying to wear these BCBG ankle boots but I don't want to wreck them and the weather just is not co-operating with me yet.

I ordered these nude pumps from Beyond the Rack and I am proud to say that I am pleased with my FIRST EVER ONLINE PURCHASE.  Actually I lied, I got a purse from ASOS a couple years ago but with shoes and clothes it is different because you actually have to gage your size and make the assumption that it is going to fit and be comfortable.  But the verdict on the shoes is as follows:
SUCCESS!  I LOVE THEM THE LEATHER IS PERFECT AND THEY FIT TRUE TO SIZE AND ARE COMFORTABLE.
About a week after ordering these shoes I made a clothing order, I will be sure to put the verdict on those items up once they arrive too.


Once the weather gets a little nicer and there isn't so much mud everywhere I plan to actually wear these shoes and get some scenic outfits shot for you guys.

New leather handbag from random boutique with a name I cannot remember.

Corset tops from Guess!

New dress from Bebe.  I love the colour and the fit.  I will definitely be doing an outfit post with this dress.

Photos from my closet!
Thanks for reading :)
Hope you all are enjoying your spring so far!
