I'm Not Dead.

Dear Blogreaders,

I'm not dead: I'm just busy. Exams are coming up, school year almost over...you understand.

Some totally awesome posts are coming (think summer fashion, plenty of anchors, polos, and of course, pink and green!)...I promise...so sit tight, and please don't leave me!

Sincerly Yours,

Sweet Spade Summer

This is why I love Kate Spade. She always gives us just what we need! (Actually, I'm starting to suspect that she is spying on me and ripping off my designs!)

Here are some of the cutest bags and clothes for summer from Kate Spade (PS sorry for the random larger images)

Colour Block Trend Meets Nautical

Retro

So Palm Beach (tee hee)

I love me some tulips!

Honey, I'm home!

Ready to get wet?

Love the print, cut and back detail! You can say "Ahoy!" coming...and going!

I love the new half-bow don't you?

Seriously, sneaking looks at my sketch pad?

Ditto! (Love the bow!)

Classy mens-print blouse with retro-nautical inspired buttons!

Miss Trish of Capri: Cute or Not?

Miss Trish at Target: cute summer sandals for unbelievable prices! Or are they? I don't know...some seem a tad tacky? You be the judge!




Cute little delicate golden sandals

So cute!

The Results Are In And...

Looks like I'll be getting the beige Sperry Top Siders! I think this is a good choice, because not only did they win in the poll, but they are a neutral colour, and therefore will go well with a lot of things in my summer wardrobe. Plus, the plaid is a cute touch! I may pick up one (or two!) of the other more colourful ones for fun as well!

Very Sperry

I want at least one pair of Sperry Top Siders for a comfortable summer shoe...the only question is which one? Well, I've narrowed it down to six different styles. Now it's your turn.

Vote for which style you think I should buy in my poll (to the right side of the page)

My New Diet

Definitely not weight loss...more like weight gain...one dollar at a time that is...

That's right, I'm on a spending diet.

It all started with me getting my T4 or whatever it is that tells you how much you made last year. Then, I compared it to how much I have now. Plus what I've made this year, there is some room for improvement. Where did it all go?? I don't have bills, rent, or gas to pay for. Even my phone bill is covered by my dad. Hmm. Mystery? Maybe not. Turns out, that coffee you buy everyday, those magazines you buy every month (cover price, mind you, for some reason I'm too stupid to actually subscribe and save myself a bundle), make-up, clothes, energy drinks etc. really add up after a while. So I vowed to myself to better watch my spending.

Goals:

1. Save coffee money by getting up 10 minutes earlier to make my own (I did buy that nice thermos for that purpose, might as well make use of this "investment")
2. Eat packed lunch, opposed to throwing out unappetizing sandwich and buying lunch/snacks.
3. Get as much free stuff as possible. (Helping myself to raspberry tarts/Diet Cokes from the mini fridge at my Co-op)
4. Monitor mindless spending on things I don't really need.
5. Finally subscribe to the 10 magazines I buy every month anyway.

With these goals, I hope to better fill my bank account, and therefore my closet for this summer, and the future (student loans ugh I CAN wait for those).

Let's see how it's going now, shall we?

DAY ONE: Goal achieved! Not one penny spent!

DAY TWO: Coffee I made tastes bland in comparison to Starbucks but I down it anyway for the caffeine rush. Afternoon snack needed when stomach starts rumbling. No access to free food. One fudgesicle purchased from corner store ($2.00). Frozen snack tastes like frozen crap: freezer burn, ice caked on the outside, goopy=gross. Thrown in the bin. Medium coffee half french vanilla bought from Tim Horton's (about $2.00). Went to art supply store: bought nice new quality pencil crayons (about $29.00)...used gift card! Only ended up paying $4.50 or something.

Total: about $8.50

Screw it. This is t0o hard. Day two and I'm already failing. I give up.

THE END.

Happy Easter!

Some Pretty Pastel Chocolate Easter Eggs!

Gorgeous Spring Florals/Prints...they would all look darling painted on an Easter Egg, would they not?
