The lovely Lely tagged me with this fill-in-the-blanks survey at the beginning of last month and I’m so glad she did! (Please excuse my terribly belated entry though.) It was a tonne of fun to fill out and, of course, find appropriate accompanying photos for as well. What am I if not predictable? (Honestly, I’d be afraid to know…)

If I were a colour, I’d be… rainbow.

Hello, my lovelies! It’s been what seems like an eternity. But I’m still alive and kickin’. It’s been a super stressful semester for me which in turn has meant my blog activities have decreased exponentially. I hate that that’s the case, but such is life, non?
As a bit of a de-stresser after my midterm projects were turned in, I went on a little adventure to the ocean with a friend last week. So much fun. I forgot how much I loved going to the ocean. This is why I’m an east coast girl; without that water on my doorstep, it just doesn’t feel right.

I have the worst imaginable case of wanderlust right now. I’ve actually had it for quite a few months, but with summer quickly coming up on us now, I can’t help but long for adventures to far away and exotic places. Perhaps because any sort of travel is so utterly, entirely, and completely unattainable to me at present, it makes me desire exploring the world even that much more than usual. Such is always the case, isn’t it? We can never quite have what we want. And for the last few months, all I’ve wanted to do is cram a suitcase full of my essentials and take off to a foreign land to roam the streets, taste new foods, meet the locals, take oodles of pictures, and explore, explore, explore! I’ve been cooped up in Canada (that seems like it should be an oxymoron considering Canada is so massive) for far too long. I need to go places, see the world! It doesn’t help any that I was supposed to go on not one, but two, trips abroad this summer which have slowly reduced to one, and now none at all. :( Suffice to say, I’m still devastated that both were canceled. I’m desperately clinging to the hope that next summer I’ll be able to fulfill this travel lust, if for no other reason than to get it out of my system! I constantly find myself daydreaming about being on the other side of the world discovering and trying new things. When I close my eyes, I see little floating globes and passports. Okay, maybe that last one was a bit of a stretch…

Well, ladies and gents, by the time you’ll be reading this, I will be long gone. That’s right, today’s the day I leave on my cross country trek to the east coast to my brand new apartment! So excited! Though is it technically considered cross country if I’m only going from Toronto to the east? It sounds a little more epic when I say cross country though. Either way you slice it, it’s still a solid two day drive so I’ve got lots of time and road ahead of me!

In my absence (since I probably won’t be online again for at least a week), I have a few posts scheduled as well as a few guest posts by some lovely friends as well. ♥ So enjoy, and see you all soon! xo.

Long time no see! I apologise for disappearing for a week or so there. University got super hectic (tomorrow’s the last day of the semester) so I had to hole up for a few days and lay the smack-down on myself. Blogging is such a wonderful/terrible procrastinatory tool, and if I wanted to get my work done, I needed to do a temporary blogosphere-ectomy. Since I’m finally wrapping things up with my final projects, I thought I’d at least pop in, say hi, and share some pretty pictures until I get back into the swing of things once again.
Since it’s been an absolute eternity since I shared a favourite editorial, here’s an oldie-but-a-goodie from the Vogue Nippon September 2006 issue featuring the lovely miss Anja Rubik shot by Carter Smith. Insert some clever segue about the summer-y look of this editorial and the burst of warm summer weather that’s been passing through these parts here. My brain’s fried. That’s the best I can do. ;)
