You're no star to guide me anyway

This is yesterday's outfit. It was the first time I'd worn my white wig out and I sure got a lot of comments! (Most positive, some along the lines of "silver hair whoa what who does that?!") Because the wig's so light you can see the wig cap at the crown of my head so I had to pair it with a hat. I love that ths outfit is all grey and navy blue. I also love mixng prints, polka dots, and cardigan clips. So much cute!

I'm thinking we should take a trip to the city

I made a quick trip home to Edmonton this past weekend and I'm sure glad I did. I was feeling quite homesick. My dad was driving my aunt to the airport Friday afternoon so it wasn't that far out of the way to pick me up in Camrose. That being said, it was hardly smooth sailing - our car broke down on the edge of the city and we ended up waiting outside in the freezing wind for over half an hour waiting for a tow truck! We were on a freeway with no emergency lights so we couldn't even stay in the car. We eventually got home safely though, the car should already be fixed by now. I spent Saturday afternoon with one of my good friends and had a lovely time. We met for lunch and then spent the afternoon on Whyte Ave, which is how we usually spend our time (I live & she works on Whyte - the hippest~ part of Edmonton). We had lunch at Tokyo Noodle Shop, did a bit of faux-shopping at the Tinbox and the Junque Cellar, had coffee and bought books at Chapters and finished off with cake from Death by Chocolate. (If you're in or around Edmonton, those would be a few of my favourite places on Whyte!)

This striped top is actually one of my favourites, even though I've only posted photos of it twice before. It's no secret that I love horizontal stripes, and grey and black is a gorgeous colour combination. I positively love the length and the way it drapes - I can wear it with leggings, jeggings, or jeans and it's perfect on early mornings when the idea of layering baffles me. I paired it with my trusty Old Navy jeggings and some new jewellery for a cute weekend look.

Love is all over the place

Hey! So sorry that I haven't blogged in over a week, you'd think the winter semester had started or something. School is really busy, but I'm finally registered in the art course I wish to be in and my student loans have come in so I'm not broke. Now that things are a bit more ordered, I'm hoping this semester will be a good one!



This is what I wore today. Nothing super-duper fancy but I felt cute. I only had one class today, and I spent right before and right after at the club fair (I'm the secretary of the photography club). Later that afternoon my friend and I went out to get a few groceries and we saw that Penningtons was having a sale. I bought two shirts, two rings, and two necklaces for $42! I love a good sale.
