Early morning sesh

Can't get enough of her and her version of this song is amazing....

Apart from the song and artist, this song is just perfect for me right now.

Life isn't always simple...or white or black. It can be grey. People come and go but the most important thing is to hang onto the people who truly love you and support you. The people who will be there for you no matter what.

Those are the valuable people..... The people who when going through difficult times, they don't ask questions, they just listen.

Though the song and post don't quite relate, over time I have come to realize and cherish the great people in my life that I can fee truly care for me and want whats best for me.

I have no hidden agenda, I treat people the way I wish to be treated. There is no fine print. If you are in my life, I care about you and  would hope to have the same in return.

Sweet Dreams

Pretty close to being my dream bedroom. Loving the white and fur accents.

I'd probably add a few punches of colour. 

Sweet dreams would be had here.....

"Oh Sabrina, where have you been all my life?"

Currently watching Sabrina on DVD and mellowing from a long weekend celebrating my sister's birthday. Back to school tomorrow, but I have a feeling these next few months are going to fly by.... 

Hallelujah!

Imbalanced mind

 

"Please look after my dogs. Sorry, I love you. Lee. PS. Bury me in the church", was writen by Alexander McQueen in his suicide note which was found in McQueens apartment on the back of a copy of Wolfe von Lenkiewicz's book Descent Man. His death took place in February, and after a doctor's quest to find out of his death, Dr. Paul Knapman, found sleeping pills, cocaine and tranquilizers in McQueens body. It was said that the designer "killed himself while the balance of his mind was disturbed".  

His psychiatrist also stated that they had tried to get McQueen to show up for appointments but he had kept failing to show up for appointments. Also, that he had overdosed twice before this incident, and previously been treated for "mixed anxiety and depressive disorder".  

What the world failed to realize is that, though McQueen seemed pleased and content in the public eye, we were unaware of his pain for his close relationships and the pressures of his career.  

 

Something like that is hard to hear. Sometimes you never truly understand the hurt and pain one grows through in their mind. It is still sad to think such a life felt as though it should be taken, and it is only McQueen truly knows why he did what he did. However, I can only hope and beleive he is in piece. Body, mind and soul. Fortunatly for all of us, his designs and visions will live on forever.

It's almost April, I won't get ahead of myself because the last day of March is the most important day of the year...My birthday :) but it is hard to ignore that the April showers are about to grace us and before we know it, this school year is almost dunzo.

ummmm....I NEED A JOB. Yikes!

I'm lucky enough to have an internship lined up, but it is impossible to take it if I don't have something part-time to make some mulla....

As much as its nice to just have a schedule full of classes and assignments, I happen to miss working. Working downtown Toronto specifically, Oh! and work attire. Majority of my closet is full of work attire: flowing skirts, blazers, blouses and heels heels heels!!! I can't wait to leave the books at home and get back to some work (and play) this summer.

[caption id="attachment_546" align="aligncenter" width="476" caption="I miss work attire :("][/caption]

 I have already been making lists of the things I want to accomplish this summer. Usually, maybe 5 of my 20 things I end up accomplishing, but this summer I am full of pure dedication. I feel like I have overcome so much in the last couple years, that I owe it to myself to finally cross off those things on my" bucket list".

I'll keep you guys posted with my list :)

xoxo.

This goes out to you

Just because this is my blog and I can do whatever the **** I want without an explanation....

Here, for you. :)

Envy is no Good

I'm having one of those moments...

Those moments you get when you just want to scream, but instead you sip on your morning tea and make plans for the day as if there is absolutely nothing wrong...but F%&$ it.

I'm just gonna let it out....

You don't deserve this. I don't even think you know what you're talking about. You think you deserve it, cuz it falls into your lap. But you know what. You don't. You don't at all. And it is killing me inside. There are people out there (like me) who would give anything to have an opportunity like it, and it would never fall into their lap.

Jealousy is evil. But is envy the same? Is it a sin to envy someone else? Of course...

But should I go into the "why wont it happen to me?"

Do I make it happen? But how? Why do these things fall into others laps?

I think I deserve it. I know i do. I work hard. They do not....

They say Karma's a bitch, but where the hell has your karma gone? It hasn't bitten you yet...(I'm secretly waiting)

They say good things happen to those who wait. Well I have waited long enough and I'm starting to think that saying is a load of crap.

It's just not.....Fair....

BUT, I'm using it as fuel. I'm using these people as motivation to make it through.

Yes, I have to work harder than them to get what I want. But the outcome is that much more rewarding...

Here's to making it through!

Pullin for the Rookie

I am all for people coming from the bottom and breaking boundaries, so when I heard of the 13- year old blogger Tavi Gevinson, better known as the Style Rookie, who is subbing in for Fashion Television's Jeanne Beker for New York Fashion Week, I got really excited to see the outcome.  

 I am a huge fan of Beker (hence the pic) who will be away covering the Olympics style beat, and through reading Gevinson's blog, I can only cross my fingers that she does a great job. She got off to a good start when she chose the 3 shows: Mark Jacobs, Y-3 and Alexander Wang to cover. Oh, to be young again.

This girl is young, but she has already made her mark in the fashion world. While her outfits are "outrageous" as Beker would call them, and her fashion sense is very out there, there is no telling that people are listening to this intellectual doe-eyed girl.   

So, take a look at this little-things blog: http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com  

Okay okay, I'm actually going to finish some school work and head to bed....toodles
