FREE YOUR MIND

Lucky you, I am posting twice this week lol, although 99% of you know I post only on Thursday’s (if that, yah … I know!!) – but this week is different – mostly because I am posting daily on MasterCard Stylicity Blog (YAY me!!), and I thought – huh – maybe I should post more often on my own blog this week, seeing as it makes zero sense to ask you to go here, and here – to see what I’m up to on Stylicity for MasterCard Fashion Week – and not post at least two outfit posts!

So here I am. Wearing my mum’s 80′s plaid and the cheapest skirt ever – really. Oh, and the ears – yah – they are amazeballs!!! $20 from Fashion Crimes on Queen St … but you’ll have to stick around to see what else I’ve purchased through Stylicity’s great savings program!!

IF I GO

In less than five days I will be waking up in Manhattan and running around wild with the blogosphere elite. I am blessed beyond words to have such amazing friends, and even more so, blessed that we get to bop around  major cities doing the things we love. This will be my fourth season for Fashion Week, and I encourage you to take that jump, wanna come to New York Fashion Week? Ok, come! Just book a flight. If not this season, next! Get involved in one of the conferences that are held for bloggers each season, educate yourself – learn from the best, party like a rockstar at Bloggers Night Out and take to the tents. Sounds too difficult? … Than I am sorry dear friend, blogging is not for you. Blogging is difficult. You’ve got to take your faith into your own hands and push yourself to explore new territory unfamiliar with your everyday niche life. After all, isn’t that why you started blogging in the first place? I know that’s why I did.

See you in Manhattan!

WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING BY YOURSELF

hello world.

whelp, the time has come – New York Fashion Week is fast approaching, and although the rest of society seems to be grasping tightly onto whatever is left of August, I will be taking this weekend to start packing and planning for the streets of Manhattan for fall. (Not really fall, because it will be blistering hot outside, but you know what I mean).

I am excited to live out what is penned in my agenda, as it seems already my week is jam-packed with LuckyFABB, Fashion’s Night Out, Bloggers Night Out, a trip to the Brooklyn Flea, the MET, Shopping, and of course, catching up with old (and new) friends.

If you’re in NYC let me know – I’d love to say hi!

By the way, these pants – HOW amazing? I am obsessed and was thrilled when I won these bad boys on eBay a few weeks ago. I have switched my thrifting to online, as I find I actually spend less (gasp) than when in-store, AND it is a lot more satisfying. I get the satisfaction of purchase AND the satisfaction of arrival. haha! I swear I could justify anything.

JOHN LENNON

you may say that I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one I hope someday you’ll join us & the world will be as one 

Tomorrow [the 15th], I will be celebrating six years with the love of my life. The boyfriend is spending his evening at a STAG [not his] and I, with my mum curled up on the couch – but rest assured, an evening apart on our anniversary is not emotionally heart wrenching to me – not one bit.

I mentioned a few posts ago I have since moved back to the city, on my own – new job, riddance of bad juju friendships, and embarking on a wonderful adventure with this very thing here, called my blog. These cemetrey shots are shot, literally, in my backyard at my new place – lol. I have this incredible fascination with death – and cemeteries – I think this will be one of my new secret blog spots – it is so peaceful, and full of the most perfect dusk-lit-light come 7PM.

Major things are a-happenin’ here, so stick around love, I’ll show you a thing-or-two you can benefit from.
