Canada winter is sort of coming to an end... and it's choosing to hit us with a bitter vengeance. It's been cold and rainy and snowy and slushy and every possible kind of miserable weather for us. 

I did this shoot in rebellion against the snow and sad gloomy weather last week and I tried to dress like it was spring. 

I've been sick for approximately three weeks now... It gets a bit better and then a bit worse and it just keeps going and going. It's almost gone now though.. thank God. I can't blame anyone else but myself though... I should really stop doing shoots outside while I'm sick. 

I spent this entire week prepping for a graphic design competition and had my competition on Friday. So basically I haven't had a life for a while... but now it's time to catch up on blogging. :)

Lots on my mind right now... question for anybody who may be reading this blog... when is your good, good enough? 

Sometimes trying your hardest doesn't work out, sometimes you don't even know how to try, but you just try to go at it. You look at your own imperfection and inadequacy in disgust and you wonder. 

You try harder but it's still not enough. Nobody sees you for what you accomplish.. they don't see you for what you have done or can do, but they see you for how you've messed up or failed or how you're lacking.

What's good enough? 

Haha, depressing ending to this post but yeah... Hope spring is coming soon for all of you guys. So much cute clothing suited for warmer weathers. :) 

This morning I turned on the TV and found out that Wiarton Willie the groundhog had failed to see his shadow. Which means early spring, yay! 

Not that Toronto has been suffering from some bitter cold winter either. Nevertheless, it'll be nice to move from our mild slush and grey clouds to some sunshine and green grass.

Despite the oddly warm winter, it still felt freezing today. I'm not good with cold temperatures... they just make me wanna curl up into a ball under some blankets and hibernate there forever. Everytime colder weathers come around I start getting abnormal obsessions with baggy sweaters, fluffy or furry things and dressing really really boring. So here is outfit post covering all of the mentioned above!

White Camisole - Thrifted

Black Boots - Mom's closet

I don't really like wearing jeans, I'm just too used to the comfort of tights and leggings these days, but colder weather calls for warmer pants.
Also, my mom's gone away on a missions trip until the 18th so I'll be raiding her closet for the next few weeks! I actually love my mom's closet. We don't always see eye-to-eye on fashion sense but she still has her own unique style and lots of nice stuff.
It'll be a good few weeks.
:)

Happy groundhog day, everybody! Hope your groundhog failed to see it's shadow too.

Over the past weekend I got knocked over by unexpected sickness that kept me home halfway into the week. It's been a while since I've felt that terrible and for the first time in a while, I stopped thinking about blogging, design, visual appeal, all that jazz... 

Which is unusual for me. But when you're just lying in bed, because you can't move your head for more than two minutes without feeling nauseous, what shoes look good with tights doesn't really excite your mind much. 

My lovely boyfriend brought over some small presents while I was still capable of moving... without feeling like dying. 

Once I got over my sick days I was plagued with all the work I had missed out on while I was lying in bed... Great. 

So basically... I haven't been thinking much about blog-worthy things. 

There are pretty much no outfit posts because I have no outfits... I go from uniform to pajama/paint-in-this clothes. It's not fascinating or attractive at all. 

For the majority of this Winter, Canada has been experiencing unusually warm temperature. But recently our temperatures have started dropping and now we have snow on the ground (... a month after Christmas), yay. 

My main concern these days is actually just to stay as warm and cozy as possible, so no, I wouldn't actually wear these shoes outside (not with this snow...). 

Sometimes I really wish I lived somewhere warmer where I can wear skirts and flats and reveal my ankles all year around. But I guess there is something cute about the whole winter-drown-myself-in-as-many-fuzzy-layers-as-possible look. 

There's also a story behind this scarf. A few weeks ago, I went to a karaoke place for my friend's birthday and somebody stole my scarf. It was a nice black cashmere one so I was slightly depressed over it (oh, the melodrama). When my boyfriend found out, he got me this scarf to make up for it. It's warm and cozy and beige. I am forever happy.  

I feel pretty guilty getting spoiled all the time, but I won't lie... it's pretty nice.
