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!
