Colours of Fall

It was a perfect day for a bike ride indeed. On saturday, I tested out my new bike rack for the car. While riding to the park , I frequently and anxiously kept checking the back window to make sure our bikes have't fallen off the car. Luckily, our bikes made it safely to the park. Mike and I rode our bikes, ate cheese curds, and looked at the expensive hidden houses behind the trees. The weather was perfect and just had a perfect amount of breeze to stop me from being overheated and gross feeling like in the summer. The trees looked beautiful in the park. Earlier in the day we were supposed to go apple picking and I had the whole day planned out. We would get up early, pick apples, and then go buy some ingredients at the store and make an apple pie. Unfortunately, my amazing plan got squashed as we drove all the way out to the farm and they said there are no apples to pick ! It really sucked but I am glad we got to go for a bike ride since it might be one of our lasts of the season. We finished our day off by eating popcorn and watching desperate housewives as well as planning a day to go to a haunted corn maze! I am super excited for that. It was a really great much deserved relaxing weekend, but no its back to the grind.I hope everyone was able to enjoy the great weather and had a great weekend!

School days are here

School has been taking over my life at the moment with hours of reading. I guess that is what I get for taking nursing. I thought the first couple of weeks of school would be slack and boy was I ever wrong. Although my life is revolving around school at the moment, it doesn't mean I haven't had time to do anything fun ( or does it?). Anywho I did manage to spend sometime with Mike looking around campus. It felt so weird to be back ! Western's campus is beautiful and even though I was kind of dreading school, being at school made me more excited for it. I am excited to tackle second year.

After the first week of school, Mike and I went to the western fair ( a fair held in London ever year that has been around for quite some time). It always ends up costing way more money than you want to spend but we had a good time going on some rides and eating fair food. I am not a big ride person and people laugh at me when I only want to go on the small rides or spinny rides. I just hate rides that go upside down! In the picture I am posing beside some creepy guy from a haunted house they had there. Unfortunately, we did not go into the house. 

All in all, it was a really good time and I look forward to doing more fall activities with friends and Mike. Corn mazes, haunted hay rides and hikes here I come:)

chalk festival!

 
 

 

Every year in London we have a chalk festival called Imadon. This is my first year being able to attend because previous years at this time I was at my cottage. I am really glad I got to go.The talent was just incredible and my friend Megan has been participating in it for quite a bit so it was nice to see her piece in person. So much time and effort was put into these pieces and I just could not believe the detail in them. These pictures are the ones that were my favorite.

Shirt: urban behaviour , Pants: Bluenotes, Shoes: Spring, Purse: Winners,  Umbrella: Dollarama 

This is the outfit I wore to the chalk festival. We took photos at the market,. It was kind of a muggy day but since it rained I though it would cool down. It didn't really cool down and I was quite hot in my pants! My bangs were being all funky too so don't mind me hair. I never would have thought that I would wear printed denim but these floral jeans won me over. Oh and you also can excuse the fact that my bra is showing but hey its black and I waaass in direct sunlight. When looking at these photos I wish I could re-live this past weekend. I am currently in bed with my face swollen like crazy and only drinking milk products and oatmeal.....fun! I really wish I did not have to get my wisdom teeth but I know it will be for the better. I cannot wait until my face is normal and I can show myself in public and perhaps eat something that doesn't contain oats or milk. I will now leave you with some photos of me at the beach that I forgot to post on the last post. 

Postcards from Italy

Dress: H&M, Shirt: Wal-mart, Shoes: Spring, Necklace: the one I won!

I am off to see a concert with my friend Tamara tomorrow! We are going to see Beirut. Although I have not been listening for them too long, I do quite enjoy their music and the concert will be so fun:).
These photos were taken when Mike and I had a beach day! We had fun jumping waves and because I am too scared to go deep in the water we stayed close to shore but the waves were still fairly big! My hair got really dry from the water and thus looks fairly messy in these pics, but I did get around to dying it! It isn't that noticeable but I did get rid of my roots and in the light it has a reddish colour to it :) After the beach we were tired and since it was a hot day we opted to take pictures inside where the a/c was! Well I hope everyone is having a nice week so far :)

Polka dot and mint :)

Purse: H & M, Shirt: Forever 21, Shorts: Sirens, Shoes: Spring, Necklace: I won from Lotta Losten


Yesterday I spent most of the day in the hospital because my Dad had hip surgery in the morning.The surgery went very well but it was a long wait in the waiting room. I went up to visit him today too and today I got to see what I will be doing in three years. It was kind of intimidating to see the nurses rushing around and being very busy. It makes me worried for my future but I know it is what I want to do as much as it scares me! After getting home from the hospital, Mike and I ate some nachos and watched Storage Wars. It is actually quite an addicting show as strange as it is. There was a marathon all night so we pretty much settled in for the night. Today I did some shopping and bought a cute cat printed dress from Dress 911. I love it and I can't wait to show you guys on my next post! The necklace I am wearing in this photo is the necklace I won! It came all the way from Sweden and it is from Lotta Losten etsy shop. She has some amazing unique jewelry. I love this necklace and I can see me wearing it with just about everything I own. I can bend the pedals to make it an open or closed flower and the jewel inside is gorgeous. I am also in love with this new top because a) has a peter pan collar and b) is mint and has polka dots. It is easily one of my favourite shirts in my closet. Well I hope everyone has a nice day! I am off to go swimming in my friends pool and perhaps find something else to do on this gorgeous day!
