New Phone!!

So my phone has been shitting the bed lately, and luckily, it seems I'm due for an upgrade!
Deciding between: Blackberry Curve and the Palm Pre
Thoughts I'm pondering: What makes the ideal phone? What do I neeeeeed in a phone?


[[went to the mall today and got some wickedly essential items. update to follow]]

We're Blogfriends

Myself and the lovely EK went out the other night for a wander around town. We went down to see NSCAD's Seeds gallery, which was having a showing of some paint by my other wonderfully initialed friend, KVC. We continued with Starbucks and sushi, as is appropriate for broke-but-in-denial university students.
I wore my Countessa Fluorescent lipstick from LimeCrime out for the first time, along with my new leather jacket!

Need to learn how to take outfit pictures when I'm alone!

And we caught up on each other's summer happenings, including blog-related news, at Starbucks, where we both made some fantastic impressions on our cups.

Secret: We aren't actually Blogfriends, we're HOST friends... but that'll just make us both think of Stargate.

First Day of School!

Being in Costume Studies makes me feel like I should represent my classmates well by dressing nicely. Not to mention, most of the people in it dress so nicely that I'd feel like a slob if I didn't, SO first day of school was a Must for a good outfit. Here's what I got together (eventually).

Slouchy off-white tank tucked into skinny jeans with a slight bit of high-waistedness, and a bandeau bra so I didn't feel like a skank

Lots of chunky, jangle-y bracelets, and my ever-present rings

My indie-cred glasses to top it off! I did a smokey eye (super basic) but you can't see it here :(

More Leather Love

Danier is one of my favorite stores to walk into at the mall. I loooove the smell of leather, not to mention all the gorgeous clothes in there! I've been wanting a new leather bomber jacket for a while (I've been wearing the same one since grade 8), so I hopped over to Micmac today. JACKPOT. I found an amazing one that was my favorite in the whole store, and it was on sale for the lowest price of all the jackets!!! Somebody up there likes me.

From Danier's website

I've always been against hoods on leather jackets, but I've come to terms with this one. It looks great when it's on, and I'm a sucker for big floppy hoods that can engulf your face. Plus, with the drawstrings on this one, you can scrunch up the hood so it looks like a giant collar instead.
I also bought some leather, fingerless gloves. The sales girl was too cute and too convincing, and the gloves are wicked cool.

Back-to-school Haircut

I wanted a change, but chickened out from a major cut, so I changed my bangs and just got a trim. I think it's cute though!

Good-Bye Summer

I'll miss working full-time, getting paid full time, and being out on the water.
Here are some of my favorite shots from this summer:

My tent at our campsite in Dunvegan, after a day at the beach.

Beautiful day at sea, taken at work

Awesome sign I found on the way to check out a friend's new apartment.
