blogging buddy





coat aritzia, top and pants f21, booties urban outfitters, watch mkors
it is a funny story how i know this fellow blogger. our boyfriends went to high school together/are still friends from barbados and oddly enough we have never really met....we had a brief hi hello at the airport once and now miss melanie of born lippy is out in the wild west so there have not really been any opportune moments to get to know each other UNTIL NOW. we discovered, individually, that we both have blogs, love fashion, are obsessed with scrunchy faced dogs and so we decided to start being blogging bff's and bbm pen pals. i have been so fortunate not only to have my own incredible group of girls but through boyfriend i have made some amazing friendships with the WAGS (aka wives and girlfriends) dating his close group of guy friends. and the best news of all....i finally get to have a proper meet with this lady as she is coming to spend the holidays with us crazy island people. 
can't wait xxx

heading there tomorrow yippee!

i thought you ought to know....


we are all full of surprises. everyone has those quirky things about them that make them unique. and as this is a blog that has previously been revealing about weird things that i like/do, i thought you ought to know that.....

  1. if i ever have my ipod in my ears, i am normally listening to nicki minaj, lil wayne or drake 
  2. i go to sleep with my hair soaking wet most every night....even though i own a hair dryer it is only for special occasions
  3. i write lists for just about everything 
  4. i squeal at the very sight of a bulldog. on a commercial, in the park wherever, i can't help myself
  5. i am a remote hog....if you are watching television with me you are watching hgtv, tlc or the food network...that is all 
  6. i have a photographic memory
  7. i am pretty much a self admitted nerd. i especially love trivia and pub quiz nights
  8. i have a fear of birds. pigeons and parrots especially creep me out
  9. i sleep with so many pillows. i currently have seven so lots for hugging and tucking between my legs. funny thing is boyfriend only likes one...super convenient for me
  10. i cannot be in silence. my radio is on constantly, i listen to mozart when i study and i have the tv or a movie on whenever. right now i am watching corpse bride
what are some quirky things about you? xxx

elements


first piece of blue and white china given to me by my nana


little ballet slippers my mum gave me when i moved out

one who is as obsessed as me must have scrunchy friends hanging from the wall


favourite new mug from my roomie em who brought it back from her trip to vegas
this week i had a massive room clean. i actually spent like 45 mins just vacuuming, i was on a role. in the meantime, while waiting for my massive heap of laundry to be cleaned, i started snapping my favourite parts of my room here at school. it is all in the details xxx

this weekend was spent mainly indoors but my roommate and i did manage to do a bit of shopping (i always seem to squeeze it in at some point). it has kind of turned into a weekly routine that i head over to the shoppers drugmart to get me a little pick me up (they have amazing weekly sales) and i have a points card to justify frivolous purchases like .59cent cans of soup, tissues, diet coke, (usually on sale by the case) body wash and yesterday i picked up adorable pink sparkly studded eye lash curlers (to be photographed and blogged about because they are AMAZING). as for the rest of my weekend i made apple crumble, we had a power outage, watched hocus pocus just in time for halloween and did lots of studying! 
happy monday to you all xxx
