The not so distant future

Dress: Dress 911, Necklace: the patch 

With course selection for school coming up, I can't help but feel overwhelmed. Second year of nursing is apparently the hardest and I am so nervous just thinking about it. I get to take one elective and the one I wanted to take is a full so now I have to choose another and it looks like I don't have to many options. I feel so unmotivated to even think about school let alone pick my courses and get all the requirements for school. I feel like everything is moving so fast around me and I am just standing still. I also feel like I always waste my summer and I try to jam pack it with things to do. It's funny because sometimes I feel like I have wasted my summer but then I look back and in reality I did a lot. I hope I can look back on

this summer and feel the same way. 

These pictures were taken after work. I forgot to bring shoes that would match this dress so I went barefoot while taking the photos. I love the colour of the dress and the sailboat print is just so cute. Looking at these photos reminds me of how badly I have to dye my hair. The roots are coming in and I really want to go a strawberry blonde and then get my bangs cut for fall. I want to get it dyed professionally but it costs a lot of moola! Perhaps I will wait until I get paid or maybe buy the ten dollar hair dye if I am desperate. Anyways I am off to a family barbecue! I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend! 

I was getting really fed up trying to pry my eyes
 open since I didn't have sunglasses
 and this is was resulted afterwards haha

Sunfest!

Purse: H&M, Dress: Urban Behaviour, Sandals: A gift from my nana

This dress is a bit different from what I would usually would wear but I love it. I was looking for a dress that was short in the front but long in the back for quite some time but none of them seemed to fit right until I came across this one. The tribal print is a bit different for me since most of my dresses are either black and white or pastel or floral or a tiny cute print. I loved standing outside my comfort zone in this dress. I wore this dress to the yearly Sunfest in London. Its a festival full of dance, culture, food, and random jewelry an clothes stands. I like this festival the best out of all the London festivals because its quite unique . The other festivals in London all have the same booths but with a different name. Mike and I enjoyed our time there but due to the weather being incredibly hot and humid we didn't stay all that long which sucks because I wanted to see some of the performances. We did stay long enough however to share a jumbo blue raspberry lemonade and look at all the booths. To escape the heat we found an air conditioned mall that was all closed down ( not sure why it was closed it was a Saturday). We sat in there and found a vent and literally sat in front of it for twenty minutes to cool ourselves down. After leaving downtown, we went back to my house for a nice swim. All in all, it was a great day! 


Oh and since I haven't posted since leaving for camping I will fill you in with that. Camping was so fun. Whenever I hang out with my best friends we always have crazy stories and adventures to tell. One being that when we were driving home from a bar ( I was the DD) there was a bear in the middle of the road! I had to slam on the breaks and the bear just kept on going. It was so scary!Another story was that my friend Carmen and I were put in a canoe together and we were both pretty inexperienced and we started off fine but on the way back when it came to getting out and docking it,we went over the rope that separated where we were supposed to go and a waterfall. I got so freaked out that we were heading for a waterfall ( even though it was fairly small) that I jumped out of the canoe and got soaking wet and tried to steer the canoe towards the guy who was docking it . It was quite embarrassing! Any who to make a long story short it was a great week and I hope to do it again sometime soon! Well I am off to maybe go to Sunfest again and swim. Hope everyone has a lovely day!

Camping Time!

Well I am going camping early tomorrow and I thought I would show a quick outfit post. I was planning on a big update but my sister came to visit from Toronto and I have been busy packing for the trip! These photos were taken just the other day and I wanted to get an outfit post with my new hat! I found out that my dad has such a similar hat so it's quite funny but I love it all the same.I hope you enjoy the photos :)!

Nuit Blanche

Skirt: H&M, Shoes: Ardene, Shirt: Giant Tiger, Purse: Ardene

I am a little late to talk about my weekend however I am going to because It was such a great time and frankly I have nothing much else to write about ( I know I am quite boring ;) ). This weekend Mike and I went to Springbank park ( for those who don't know its a big park in London, ON). We went for a picnic and sat a long the river and ate strawberries, grapes, and sandwiches mmmm! After we ate, we took some photos along the river and went for a really nice walk. I love days where I can be lazy and eat and go for small strolls around parks. This day was followed by an evening downtown at Nuit Blanche festival. It was a really fun festival. They blocked off the streets and had tons of art performances along the street as well as an art gallery you could walk into. I loved this festival because I did not have to spend a dime. I also got free popcorn and whenever there is popcorn I am in (definitely my favourite snack food)!. The art was very nice and so were the performances. Some of them though were also strange haha. One band played their instruments along with people blacksmithing. Very interesting if I don't say so my self.

The skirt I am wearing has little colourful birds on it in case yoiu were wondering :)

 

Kitty Cat Dress

Purse: Thrifted, Dress: Dress 911, Shoes: Ardene, Necklace: a gift from my sister

The other day I went into the Dress 911 store and there were so many dresses I wanted. I won a gift card from there and I wasn't sure what dress I wanted to use it on. When I saw this dress I knew it would be the one I wanted and when I tried it on it I felt even more confident about my decision. The cat print is just so cute and unique and the back of this dress is nice too. This will be the last purchase for quite awhile since I am trying to not spend anymore money on clothes and save for both school and camping at the end of June with my friends. I have a lot of shirts that I thrifted that don't fit right so  would like to alter them and cut the sleeves off of them to make them more suitable for me to wear. I also want to make myself a peter pan collar and found a  DIYproject for it that looks simple ( the DIY is quite old but I really liked the scalloped look of this one). I don't really know how to use a sewing machine but I will go up and visit my nana who will be able to help me and teach me of course. I think it will be a challenge to not buy anymore clothes besides the odd thrifted purchase but I think it will be for the best and will help me make more use out of what I already have. Do you have  a summer goal?

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!

Green Polka Dots

Dress: Urban Behaviour, Shoes: Ardene, Necklace: Gift!

Hey everyone! I was in Toronto for a couple days with my sister and had such a great time! We went for walks and talked and went for manicures and pedicures! It was my first time ever getting one and it felt amazing. I did not want to get off the massage chair haha.  We also went to some vintage shops and looked around. There were so many clothes in them and it was so fun to look at them, but I did not end up buying anything. We also went to a market that had some amazing food ( I got a cheese pie) and sat in a park with my sister and her friends. For dinner, we had butter chicken! We went to this really good Indian food restaurant and whenever I go to Toronto we always go there for their butter chicken. So amazing! When I got back into London, Mike came over and we hung out for a bit. I also had CPR because every year I have to renew it for nursing. That just about sums up the last couple of days :)
