Three Tibi Dresses

Tibi printed shift dress at Neiman Marcus for $345. How cute is this? I think it's really cute. It's modern but kind of retro with the print. It has a 70's vibe with the pattern and the colours. I am so ready to wear these cute summery things. It's May! I mean for goodness sakes rain!

This is another Tibi shift dress for $297 and again, so 70's. I am thinking that was probably the inspiration for the spring collection. I love this. So cute, I love the colour scheme of this collection and I think shift dresses are so flattering.

I have a serious thing for maxi-dresses. They are so bohemian, flowy and flattering without revealing a lot of skin. They are perfect for hippie wannabe girls like me. I have one that I love and have never worn just because I haven't had an occasion to wear it but I am so wearing it this year. This one's very sunny I like. P.S it costs $583. Wouldn't it be nice to be rich?

hahahahahahaha

I should be doing french. But I'm not. Haaaa.

My friends

I love my friends so much and I can't say enough good things about them. My friends are like family to me :)

Millie- you are such an amazing beautiful, awesome, wonderful person! I love you so much, I don't tell you enough. That's a lie I tell you everyday, but still! You are so warm, and so compassionate. You see good in everyone and you are so smart, not just with school and grades, but you think outside the box. You think of things that others don't always think of. You are so talented and so funny and opinionated (in a good way). You are the strongest person I know.You dress so cute too with your vintage kind of quirky style. I love it! And you are truly beautiful inside and out.  You are such a great person! I love you so much! I know we will always be friends :) I love you tons. I can't wait for our roadtrip! Let's meet some cute boys who play the guitar and harmonica and maybe they will be irish or british. I can't even tell you how great you are! You have no idea how loved you are and how awesome. I know your sister is so proud of the wonderful person you are <3
Georgie- You make me smile! I have never met a sunnier, cuter, more loving person! You are probably one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life. I would tell you anything and know that you wouldn't judge or think I am weird. You are so quirky in the best way! You are so beautiful too! I think you are amazing and you have such a big heart. I feel like you and I are always on the same page.:) I am so glad we became best friends! I hope you know how much I appreciate the fact that your my friend and I hope you know I love you tons! You are amazing and I hope you never doubt that! I know you will always be my friend. You are so awesome! Again, I can't tell you how awesome! You are compassionate and caring and you are like a ray of sunshine! :)
Mia- AHHH! My crazy spaztic friend ;) You are absolutely insane :) But in an awesome way! You are so motherly and caring :) I would tell you anything and I would feel better telling you because you are so warm and you are such a great friend. You are also absolutely beautiful and I know you wrote on your blog that you don't think you are but when I read that I was like how does she not know how beautiful she is? I was going to text you that but as usual my cell was lost and I forgot. Seriously, you don't see yourself clearly, you are amazing! You make me laugh so hard just by being your mental self! I know we will always be friends and that when I am older you guys will be bridesmaids at my wedding and aunts to my kids.:)I love you and am so glad we are best friends!
Sadie- I wish I got to see you more! But you are a really sweet, funny, very lovely person and I think that you should rebel a little more and hang out with us :) I love being a bad kid with you in Bio :) Let's be bad kids together? :) Just kidding! I love you lots even though we don't hang out very often but I think we should change that. You are sweet, beautiful and great. And you have very shiny hair. :)

2 months (ish) until we are free

Driving in the car with Millie was so fun! She got her first car ( round of applause!) and she was so excited and her mom was SO excited! Her mom cracks me up :). I am so excited for our roadtrip this summer. Oregon and then maaybe California? That's probably pushing it. I tend to get over excited and push it. But OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to graduate and just get out of my little suburban home town. I need to see and do things! But I am graduating so we will see where I go. I have never been the one to have a well laid out plan. My plans never work. I am more of a make it up as I go, go with the flow kind of gal. Maybe that's a bad thing? God, I am so tired of trying to be good though. Sometimes I get so tired because I feel like, especially with graduation coming up, I am constantly feeling like people ( and by people I mean teachers) are trying to make me make choices or make me into someone that I am not. I feel like everyone has been brainwashed into thinking that the only way to succeed in life and be happy is to go to a certain university ( SFU or UBC where I'm from) and then get a job, and work until you retire and that's it. I don't want to do that! I want to do something different. I always thought it was weird how everyone is trying to be happy but everyone is told to follow a similar path to happiness when everyone is so different. Can I just breathe? Can I just make it up as I go for a little while? Can I be seventeen and be irresponsible and choose the fun option instead of the tedious "right" option? Can I do stupid things and then laugh without feeling like I am stupid? Because if I don't do that now when will I ever be able to do that? I just want to graduate and figure some stuff out. That's my plan for after grad. I am going to hop in a car with Millie and figure some stuff out because I need to. I need to live a little and as cliche/flaky as it sounds I need to get to know myself a little better because how well can I know myself if I have lived in this little town my whole life? I have been on family trips but I feel like that's not the same. I am so ready for this summer!!

This is about fast food but whatever :) it's still true.

Guilty pleasure..

So this post is long overdue! I have been distracted with grad transitions ( I am still not done, but I am almost finished). It's absolute bullshit. For my final reflection I will write about what bullshit it is but I will do my best to make it as well written as possible so that I don't seem like a whiny brat. I mean, I understand how it is helpful because it gives us a chance to plan out our futures. I do not think that it should be mandatory for graduation though. For years people have been graduating without making a fucking scrapbook, which is essentially what GT is. And now students have to have a certain number of volunteer or work hours and a certain number of hours of physical activity. Once again, it's a good idea, it's helpful but is it necessary? I don't think so. I think that the school destrict should stop trying to invade my life. They can dictate what I do at school, but it pisses me off when they try and run my life at home. I realize my feelings regarding GT are irrelevant and I probably should have just finished it early instead of dragging it out for as long as possible. But why take the easy road? No, I get a real thrill out of making things as tedious and painful as I possibly can. So here I sit in the career centre at school "doing grad transitions" and I am feeling pretty good. The sun is shining through the windows and if I don't look at the grey skies I can pretend that the weather is actually nice and springlike. Still, it's April in rainy British Columbia so I'd better take what I can get.
     On a completely different note, my newest obsession is America's Next Top Model. My PVR consists of ANTM, Gossip Girl, Project Runway, and Vampire Diaries. I am such a cliche. It's just so good! It's deliciously shallow. Nigel Barker. British accent. He's old but he's my favorite part of the show. These are some of my favorite pictures from Cycle 15 and 16. These pictures are so beautiful!

She looks like Elizabeth Taylor in her prime. This one is so great. I loved all of the mermaid photos but this one is my absolute favorite. Her hair is so dark and with her ivory skin and dark lips she looks completely striking.

Jane was my favorite model of Cycle 15. Her face is so heartbreakingly beautiful. She looks very commercial but I think she could have done high fashion as well. She is still very unique looking. I love this picture, I love the pearls and her expression is so innocent and lovely.

I like this picture, it's so beautiful! Hannah is my favorite model on cycle 16. She's the hippie girl and she cracks me up. And she was crying for real during this photoshoot. I would cry too if I had live bees flying all over me!

This is a cool picture. It's so edgy and intense, I love it! It's Molly in the "Crazy for Accessories" picture and it's taken infront of the Bates Hotel from "Psycho". Molly isn't my favorite because she kind of comes off as a whiny brat on ANTM, however, I do like this picture.

This is Jacqlen Poole's "Crazy for Makeup" picture. I love it! She's such a sweetie-pie on the show [I'm sad that she was sent home :( ] but she looks like a freakin' psycho in this shot. She looks like the joker! Except, obviously much prettier.

                                                          Jacqlen again. I just love her!

This was my favorite of the "Crazy" pictures. This was obviously, "Crazy for Handbags". It's so Alice and Wonderland which I love. Her face is priceless! She looks insane like she has been caught slinking off with all the bags at the tea party. And it's Hannah and she's my fave.

I just love it. What can I say. Tyra Banks is to me what Oprah Winfrey is to my mom. Love her!

10 things about me

Three of my best friends did this on their blog so I thought I'd do it on mine too.

1) I am a "handful" according to my mom and a few other people. I tend to overshare. I just can't keep how I feel to myself. If I am really angry or sad it's not a mystery. I am not whiny but I can't not tell people how I feel. I can be jealous and I have the attention span of a gnat. Seriously, patience is something I need to work on. Oh, and I want it to be all about me all the time. No, not to that extreme, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the attention on me sometimes. I feel like a bitch now for listing all these annoying traits of mine but I thought I'd get these out of the way. :) At least I am honest.
2) My family and friends mean everything to me! I love them all so much. I have a wonderful family and the best friends I could ask for. Most people are lucky to have only one truly good friend. I am really lucky to know them, I always feel completely myself around them, they seriously feel like family to me.
3) I love music and fashion. I love fashion and it's everywhere. It seriously excites me and I think about it all the time. I love music so much I seriously waste way too much time just sitting and listening to music and I love singing. I don't think I'd want to do it for a career but it's something I want to do in my spare time for all my life.
4) I am not religious but I am spirtitual. I am not any particular religion but I do believe in God and I think that it gives me strength that I do.
5) I really do care a lot about people whether they are my loved ones or people I barely know.
6) School is not my thing, or at least not right now. I am blessed to have the opportunity to be educated but I can't say that I enjoy learning about things that mean absolutely nothing to me. I try to remember that it's an ends to a means but it can be hard for me to stay motivated when I am not interested in what I am learning. I think I will enjoy school more next year when I go to University because I will be learning about something I am passionate about.
7) I used to be scared to graduate and now I am really excited! Maybe it helps that I got my grad dress. I feel like I am ready to move on now.
8) I really want to fall in love. How cheesy is it that I just admitted that on a website? Pretty cheesy.
9)I am such a yoga nut. I love it! It's a nice escape from everyday things and it is a surprisingly good workout!
10) Loyalty is important to me. It would take a lot for someone I am good friends with to lose my friendship and I mean A LOT. I would say I am a forgiving person and a loyal person and I expect no less from the people I am close to ( but I have the best friends ever so this isn't an issue with them).
