Let's Bring in the New Year!

So, my computer has been contaminated by another Trojan...whatever that is...but I just had to post something! I have so much to say! So many blogs to read! So much fashion!

But before I get to that...I have some exciting news! Since the new semester is starting, I can tell you that I took co-op! For those of you that don't know, it's like finding an apprenticship. For the last two periods, I will be working at Milli Fashions for Women! This is very exciting for me, as I hope one day to be a fashion designer. I love sewing, am a talented artist (if I can toot my own horn), and am completely obsessed with fashion. This is the first time my school's co-op department has placed someone at Milli as well. I still need to go in for an interview (more on that later) but I have a good feeling about this! Milli Fashions is supposedly the most high-end boutique in the entire city! Almost everything in there is at least $1000. And they have sewing in the back, so hopefully I can polish up my skills while being in a place of such wonderful fashion goodness! And maybe I'll get a discount ;)

So here's a preview of some of my favourite trends fresh from the runway for spring!

cute cardigans, a little safari, and sweet spring colours from Milly (no connection to my Co-op unfortunately)

"Milly" herself! How J.Crew does she look?


Burberry goes grey

Lavin lucious dresses

Chanel never fails! Black and White is soo now! (but isn't it always?)

D&G? Can you say Nautical? (Nautical. Very good!)

Marc By Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs

Gucci

Lacoste

Moschino showed some stunning jewel tone dresses, featuring bows, ruffles, and rosettes

Whew! What a long post! But I just couldn't resist the eye candy!

A Recent Conversation...

...With a girl in my third period fashion class went something like this:

Girl: So yeah, the cops totally showed up and everything. It was totally crazy!

Me: Oh, was that at your New Years Eve party?

Girl: Mhmm.

Me: Yeah, I was going to go to a party, but all my plans fell through.

Girl (following up an earlier conversation): I'm sorry (not at all sorry), but I still can't see you going to a party. Except if it was like, a tea party.

*people were standing around listening this whole time, by the way*

Me: Um...

Girl: Yeah, like look at you with your pearls and everything. I can totally like see you as more of a sorority girl.

Me (sarcastically imitating her, because at this point I was getting a little miffed): Um, like, yeah...I totally love going to the Country Club for lunch banquets hahahaha!

Girl: Ehmagawd yeah I can totally see you doing that lolz!

Later, my friends, who had heard this whole conversation take place supported me and told me how rude they thought she was. But I don't mind all that much. This is practically a complement anyway. In fact, if I was a totally different person, I might have done something like this:

Me: Oh, HAHAHA you are SO FUNNY. Well. I'd rather be that then a pretentious little partying slut-faced-hoe-bag-who-brags-about-getting-drunk-and-being-taken-advantage-of.

But alas, I am not that person. And that would not be proper, would it? (What would Muffy say?!)

;)

Happy New Year!

Look! An Ox in pink and green! I can tell it's going to be a good year already!

Resolutions

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself...seeing as it's not even Christmas yet, but it's never too early to start making those New Years Resolutions is it? No sir, it is not. In fact, the sooner the better for people like me. Procrastinators. So, I am going to be fully equipt in 2009 (wow can you believe it?) with my newly purchased desktop calender/planner. Procrastinator's SOS is the perfect gift for yourself or someone you know who is always stressed out or getting things done late (hello last-minute Christmas shoppers!). Each page lets you see the whole week ahead of you. I find this a useful tool, especially when you realize how soon everything is happening! It also has a weekly page on things that will help you out for that time of year. For example, tips on budgeting in February when you might start shopping for spring, organizing tips in January, and even how to lose those holiday love-handles in January. All this is done in a practical and entertaining set up. Each week also has a "To Do (or Not) List", "Ultimate Reprieve", and "Timewaster & Cheap Thrill" because, let's face it, once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator. But that certainly doesn't mean you can be molded into one of those envy-worthy people that always have it together. And I forgot to mention one of the best parts: it's nautical themed!

Snow Day!

Snow Day = school cancelled, work cancelled, emailing professor essay because you can't hand it in, staying inside the entire day because the Canadian winter isn't anything to joke about...though it is pretty!

The view of my backyard

PLUS: Snow Day Necessities

1. Silly Cat

2. Warm Argyle Socks and comfy satin pjs

3. Some TV (Yes, it's Fresh Prince! And if you look closely, you can see my Christmas card from Miss Lisagh aka Grosgrain Garage in the middle on the top of the unit!)

4. A Nice Hot Cup of Joe!

Happy Snow Day from your favourite teen prep!
