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

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.

Summertime adventures

These lies and deceptions
Only affecting us in a negative way, wrong direction
Starting to fade away our connection
Will we ever find a way to progress
And live life for each second
Without second guessin'

It is great to actually have a weekend and not dedicate it to just working!
The weather here was so gorgeous except that it can change in a second; you often end up wearing two outfits in one day or having to layer like crazy. It does not help my laundry pile.
Last night I went to a barbeque at my girlfriend's house, my brother came along with some of my close friends. This morning when I went for brunch with my girlfriend her car battery died, we got it boosted and then it died again. One trip to Canadian Tire and a lot of cash later she had a brand new battery and we headed back to my place. Once there she locked her keys in her car. It was actually quite a fun day aside from the mishaps! It was so beautiful outside I am starting to get a tan.
Without further ramblings I will show you some outfit pictures from the past days!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and having a great weekend.

My shoes are missing in the pictures but they are brown ankle combat-style open toe boots!

You're the thunder to my lightening

The magic of first love is oblivious and ignorant to reality.

The magic of friendship is genuine and surpasses superficiality.

The weather has been so gorgeous here except for the crazy thunder and lightening storms we have been having here in Ontario! The other day my house shook and I thought there was an earthquake, I woke up in the middle of the night rattled and confused. Turns out that it was just the thunder that shook the house so much!

Regardless I put in a lot of hours at the restaurant and I have been having a lot of fun working there. The whole staff is amazing and I am meeting a lot of great people. It is great to have two days off to relax because my whole body and my mind are exhausted! Yesterday I dropped three side plates on the floor in the middle of the restaurant and they shattered everywhere. I am not known to drop things (at work) so I was a little bit embarassed to say the least especially since everyone in the whole place went silent and looked at me. At least I have a great support team and people were already leaning over to pick up the pieces and someone had gone to get the broom. It is such a better experience at work when it is a team environment and people are there to love and support each other not compete or bring each other down.

I am on my way over to my girlfriend's house, we had quite a crazy incident a couple weekends ago and it left her feeling a little bit hurt and confused. I am going to bring her flowers and hopefully cheer her up!

Speaking of flowers I have been loving them so much this season. My brother and dad both brought me a flower back from Hawaii with a hair clip so I love to spice up boring outfits with them!

Today I decided to go with a floral skirt theme and here are the results.

Overload of pics since I was practicing with my rebel!
