ROLL OUT

one making the transition back into downtown #yyc is a process, weeks in the making. But we'll get there, one way or another (that '#' has just become habit, airport codes just don't look proper without them anymore)
two goodbyes are going to be hard, but you can never stop moving forward right
three things never really change, no matter how hard you hope, sometimes the changes made aren't as big as you hoped for
four finally figuring things out and realizing that what I thought was everything, is not really everything
five BIG plans for 2010, watch out kids ;)

I HAVE A FEELING, I'M GOING TO LOVE VALENTINES DAY

SNACK, CRACKLE, POP

BOOM sorry for the lack of updates as of late, been crazy busy with work, work, mapping out the rest of my life, catching up on errands, work, building new closets, re-arranging my living space, work, figuring out next semester & work

BOOM how's the new job going you wonder? It's going great, kinda like breakfast with Tony the tiger. I was really only wanting to work 2-3 shifts a week, but I never shut the door in oppurtunities face. What a tragic mistake that would've been.

POW finally a day off today! Some blogging & getting almost a months worth of laundry is in order, no?

IMPERFECTION

Perfection is no more made for us than immensity. You cannot seek it in anything, nor demand it in anything. Neither in love, now beauty, nor happiness, nor virtue. 

STYLE INSPIRATION: OLIVIA PALERMO

'SOCIAL' OLIVIA PALERMO MAY BE THE BITCH ON T.V and THE GIRL WE ALL LOVE TO HATE, but THERES ONE THING THAT'S UNDENIABLE ABOUT HER. GIRL KNOWS HOW TO DRESS. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I SHARE THE SAME LOVE OF BLAZERS AND DARK SKINNY'S AS SHE, OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE WE BOTH CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF BLACK BASICS. BUT IN TIMES OF WARDROBE I DON'T KNOWS, I TEND TO FIND MYSELF THINKING...

WWOW(what would olivia wear)

FASHION CAN BE BOUGHT. STYLE ONE MUST POSSESS

ANYONE CAN BE "IN FASHION," ALL ONE HAS TO DO IS FOLLOW THE HERD AND ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE SEASON. BUT STYLE IS PERSONAL. THERE IS NO HERD TO FOLLOW. THERE ARE NO RULES. THERE ARE NO SEASONS. STYLE COMES FROM WITHIN. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ABSOLUTE ABOUT STYLE, IT IS THAT IT HOLDS YOU ACCOUNTABLE TO YOURSELF AT EVERY MOMENT. HOW YOU PRESENT YOURSELF TO THE WORLD IS IMPORTANT. IT IS INHERENTLY RELATED TO YOUR SENSE OF SELF. EVERY TIME YOU DRESS YOU ASSERT SOME ASPECT OF YOURSELF AND YOUR IDENTITY. WITH STYLE, YOU TELL THE WORLD WHO YOU ARE, OR AT LEAST THE STORY OF WHO YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY. STYLE AFFORDS YOU OPPORTUNITIES. IT OPENS DOORS & ALLOWS YOU THE CHANCE TO SHOWCASE A FACET OF YOURSELF IN AN OBVIOUS AND INIMITABLE WAY.
