Thursday Blues

Ahhh unemployment. I don't know about you, but I'm over being a student and living off of a student budget. I've got a few more photos of things I want but can't have, but this time, they are expensive meaning I really can't have them. Boo hoo, right? Anyway, here we go!

I've decided that a good DSLR camera is going to be graduation present to myself. So I'm sorry to say you're going to have to put up with instagram-ed iPhone pictures until August (Yes, August. Don't even get me started).

Lovin' Blogs

 <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3182400/sincerely-acc?claim=q7bnmetzsyq">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>


I finally caught on to this whole bloglovin' thing and now I'm on it. If you want to follow me there, well, that would be cool! Hope you're having a fantastic day!

M.I.A

I once read on a blog never to apologize for a lack of posts, so I won't. Let's just say I feel a certain way for not having written anything on this blog in a while. So, ANYWAY, how are you? With the end of exams, Mexico, start of a new semester, and back to back weekend visitors, I've been a little busy. But I'd like to get back to it and make you super jealous by posting a picture of what I stared at for two weeks. Joke's on me as I'm in the cold and snow (calm down Vancouver) just like you suckers. Let's all hold hands and hibernate until May. No? Whatever, brah. TALK SOON!

Packing

I am not one of those organized list packers. I usually lay everything I own out on my bed, make a few outfits and throw it in a suitcase. I never always bring too many accessories and end up wearing only 2 out of the 6 pairs of shoes I brought. Some call this over-packing, I call this being prepared. Who's laughing now? Not me when my suitcase is over 50 pounds... I lose.

I wish I could include I picture of the duffel bag I'm taking (actually though) but I don't have anything in it. Don't worry. I've still got a day left to pack. Plus, I still have a final exam today so packing would have just been procrastination from studying (...as I type this ridiculously pointless blog post). 

I hope everyone has wonderful holiday time with friends and/or family! I'm going to be updating my other blog with Mexico fun times, so take a gander over there!

Put an end to this madness...

The further into the winter season we get, the more I am seeing my least favourite thing in the world... UGG boots! I had a chat (or should I say debate) with a friend from work the other day about whether or not these UGG-ly boots should be abolished. Now, you may be thinking these are very strong feelings towards something as harmless as a boot, and to that I would have to say NAY! (Yes old English captures my feelings best). If worn in the correct way, I can understand it’s purpose. By that, of course, I mean if you’re in leggings and a comfy sweater running out to the store briefly, or if you have just finished snowboarding or skiing. However, the problem with that is I always see women wearing them with a skirt, dress, or jeans for everyday wear. I fear that women find this type of outfitting is acceptable because of the outrageous number of celebs we see wearing them while on set going from their trailer to shoot a scene. Let’s get one thing straight ladies – real life is no movie set! I’m all for being inspired by celeb style; but this one is best left alone. Now that I have finished my rant; I will in turn provide you with perfectly acceptable alternatives for your footsies in the cold weather!

'Tis the Season

Glitter nails have been everywhere over the last year and I haven't really caught on to the trend, until now. I found the sparkle a little out of place during the warm summer months but now that the holiday season is in full force, I am in full support of wonderfully, glittery, sparkly nails. I wanted to include some polishes I've been eying - don't worry, I probably won't buy any. Wait, you're not my Mom! 

New Years Eve anyone? Not the movie, I hear it's terrible.

Reminds me a bit of the ocean.

Pink glitter. Like, come on.

Rainbow glitter. COME ON!

Plumly Sparkly Goodness

Using a loose powdery glitter results in the most beautiful nails.

This is what night looks like in a bottle.

Christmas.

SPARKLES. IN YOUR FACE.

Gift idea? Ahem.

Hair Down to There

So, my hair is long. Like, really long. I only get it cut a couple times a year and I have one reason for this: I'm too cheap to get it done any more than that. Last February I got it cut to a couple inches below my shoulders and for me, that was short. I like to say that I don't care about my hair and it certainly looks that way most of the time. But the fact is, I'm still a student and I don't care how it looks on a day to day basis. When I work or go out I will spend more than 3 minutes doing my hair, I swear. The problem is, it's at that point where it has no style and it just kind of hangs there all stringy and long. Really cute, right?! Wrong! So here comes the one-week-before-a-haircut-looking-at-pictures-of-Jennifer-Aniston-for-hair-inspiration hunt, and guess what? I've found it.

Those who know me know that this really isn't that much different than what I've got now, except that it's shorter and neater. I want a few more layers around my face, maybe I'll even ask my stylist for side bangs. But I like that the overall length looks to be the same and there aren't many layers as I'm not into the super layered look. Anyway, I'm thinking I'll schedule an appointment for next week - or maybe sooner, those head massages are so enticing!
