something good can work

Well hello there again. I am back after a bit of a hiatus. Back in Calgary too. After 3 days of snow I finally saw blue sky today. Shocking, I know, considering I have been hearing nothing but tales of summer fun from friends who are now all over the country. Sad but true. After many a tearful goodbye, it was time to come back home. It was an amazing 8 months that pretty much lived up to every cliche about the first year of university and what it would be like. The people, the memories, the relationships... oh yeah and classes too. It really sucks being away from everyone right now, so thank God for skype, mixed tapes, facebook chat, like today with the lovely Ms. Lizzay Ellan, and text messaging and all that fun stuff that keeps us all 'connected' (thanks Alf!).

So yeah. The day that I left UBC and said my final goodbyes I went shopping with my mom, pops and sis. I guess completing my first year of university and not having seen my family in 4 months worked in my favor because mother dearest got me a pair of shorts and a new dress!! Thanks Mama :)

Here are some pics taken by my lovely and talented sister, Miss Jillian. Mad props. I rarely ever think that I'm photogenic so it was really nice to have some legit shots taken.

First we have some jean shorts. They're called the 'boyfriend' short. I don't know if my boyfriend would really wear these, a little short but you know, always nice to show some leg now and then ;)

I was kind of channeling a bit of Alexa Chung with this look, she did a really similar one on her show last summer that is one of my favorites so with my new denim I couldn't resist.

this one feels a bit reminiscent of something... ;)

Here's the little floral dress.

When I first bought these boots, I had a vision. Of a slightly over sized, swingy, floral, summer dress to pair them with. I am pretty pleased that this Raven Simone - esque vision has now come to life. Cannot wait to wear this for reals once all the snow is melted and temperatures climb a bit more over 10, a little colour on the legs might be nice too. For now I am embracing the pale as always.

Always a big fan of an exposed zipper too.

Once again, all the photos get credit to Jillill and her mad photog skills! Impressed to say the very least. I hope you enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun taking the pics, dancing around in my backyard to some Two Door Cinema Club with my sis.

But before I go, I must incorporate something that I promised my dear friend Natasha I would... a drunk text. This one is from tonight, "Cause more flip cup is always neneees." Yes. I believe the translation is, "Cause more flip cup is always needed." What a gem, love and miss you so, Natrasha!!

That's all for now children :)
