Just the Beginning

So, it is the Monday following the last week of classes. Eight AM rolls around and I am not in marketing/IMC... I am not looking at a tired yet well dressed group of people and I am sad. During my undergrad I was a number not many people knew my name and I came in and out of class as I pleased. On the other hand at Humber almost everyone in my class knew my name and I am leaving there with a group of friends I know will remain close despite us not being in school anymore. I can not thank everyone in my class enough for helping make this time not only memorable but enjoyable. I have to stop writing now because I am getting sad thinking about it. I wish everyone nothing but success in whichever direction they choose. Our graduating class was remarkably talented and it is an honor to know them all.

After our final exam we went out to breakfast at the Good Fork on Bloor near Jane station. Im going to miss these ladies. Cally, Katherine and Kaelin have been my go-to's for eight months but I feel like I've known them forever. Click on their names to check out their personal blogs!

I love eclectic picture frame displays, I want to make one myself one day  

Champagne with breakfast.. why not!

I wouldn't trade this year for anything and I am excited to see what the future holds! Now lets bring on the 30 degree weather and get this summer started! 

Stay cool.

Easter Birthday!

If you're not turning 18, 19, 21 or a child your birthday can quickly become a dreaded event. People are weird around their birthday it is like a personal New Years Eve. Thinking about the past year and the year to come can be daunting. I knew I had to turn the day around and make it special. You only turn 23 once!

This year my whole family was together at my parents’ house to celebrate Easter and their first born, me! My always-supportive sister helped me create a day I won't soon forget. The sun was shining and the snow has melted. We went and picked up 24 balloons for 30 dollars from Party City (two ended up flying away so it was lucky we had the extra). Before we went back home we stopped at Blackbridge for the first look. Its not a quiet road so onlookers must have thought we were nuts. 

Everyone look beautiful in their pastels. I am wearing a top I got on sale from J.Crew, Sexy Boyfriend jeans from the Gap and Steve Madden flats from The Bay.

23 purple balloons

My puppy, June (she is a failed guide dog on purpose so she could stay with us)

Love the spring colors! 

Mike & Jon were troupers and we love them for it

The day called for a walk in the forest still dressed in our easter finest 

Hope you spend the holiday weekend with those you love, I know I did!

How do you guys make your birthday special?

Denim Done Right

We all know denim was where it was at in the 90's. It did not ever really go away and like a good relationship it evolved into something better.

Mr. & Mrs. Carter can still match but in a more subtle way

Everyone remembers his or her firsts. The first time I remember seeing boyfriend jeans was on Victoria Beckham. Most of you will not agree but I thought she look so cool! She looked like she just woke up and put on David Beckhams' pants. I thought the thick belt also accentuated her very tiny waist. I myself don't feel I have much of a waist so I can appreciate when I see a woman with a similar frame.

 VB and I have both learned how to get a better fit boyfriend jean and avoid the sagging behind. I love this style and I can not wait to recreate it myself!

Keep on denim-ing

GUESS WHO GOT DELETED!?

I can joke about this now but in the moment I was traumatized! Google robots deleted babblinginblazers. As Stephanie Tanner would say

(It begins to not sound like a word after 15 seconds)

The bots mistakenly thought I was spam. Since the robots who have no soul did that I will try not to take offence GOOGLE.

Tips to the deleted:

• Do not give up! Keep clicking restore so no one forgets about you
• Post in help forums. I waited to long because mine took 10 days to come back to me. Google monitors those forums and can help you a lot faster.

Don't bother tweeting at them my professor and I tried that... and although Google is a wonderful place to work, so I hear according to the movie The Internship, its customer service is not comparable to that of Starbucks.

Child with a Chequebook meets Natural in Front of a Nikon

This child with a cheque book blogger Taylor brown is one of my best friends. Who knew she was such a natural in front of the camera. Her whitty banter and signature signoffs will keep you coming back for more. She has great advice for real girls and her look is always put together, I have never seen her with chipped nails! She has dark hair and stunning blue green eyes and she finds me funny so all around a great person. Taylor and I took some photos at the beach on Lakeshore and continued onto Queen West. Check out the no filter pictures below. I highly recommend you go experiment with your look and a camera. If nothing else you will have some laughs to remember the experience.

So chic

My love for HBC does not stop with this umbrella

Wood Burning Oven

YUM! This by fair my favourite type of pizza and this week I went to a new restaurant on lakeshore. 850 Degrees Pizzaeria is delicious. I was first introduced to wood burning oven pizza in Montreal. California pizza had a wonderful atmosphere and glamourized a very simple meal. Italian food is my weakness and by that I mean food is my weakness. Everything in moderation!

Entrepreneurs Unite!

This week I went to Digital Fashion TO at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was interesting to hear the following line up describe their triumphs and struggles breaking into the competitive fashion market. The key note speaker was Jodi Goodfellow. She has an intimidatingly long list of a accomplishments which include being a high school teacher in Toronto and starting her own business Fashion Forward. Another stand out was Andrew from Man Up who is going to be on Dragons Den! He said we legally was not allowed to talk about the shows results but he also said he was no longer financing the company alone… I know I will be watching.

Networking is one of the most intimidating parts of these events. Katherine and I had a glass of wine and went to our seats while Jen and Kaelin shopped around at the Jewelry booths. Katherine and I were lucky a blogger took it upon herself to learn a little more about us. She turned about in her seat and introduced herself to us. I admire her upfront style. 

Jen, Kaelin, Katherine and I

I am grateful Kaelin introduced me to this event. Everyone you meet knows something you don't so its important to get out there!
