t-swizzle (taylor swift circa 1989 - SO GOOD)

city & colour

I'd have to say city & colour is more than likely my top musician just because his music has gotten me through so much shit that has happened in my life and kept me going. His sound is perfect and raw and emotional and I love it PLUS he's a genuinely nice/chill dude. I got the chance to meet him at a bar this summer while he was hanging with his friends post concert and he was so lovely.

Blog Challenge: Day Seven!

Your Dream Wedding. 

To be completely honest I haven't put a whole lot of thought into this. I mean, yeah, I have a pinterest board with pretty pictures and what not but I don't really know what I want. I think that I would simply be happy with an event where I feel like a queen with her new king. Somewhere where everyone is getting along - two families merging for the rest of their lives. I want the room to be so filled with happiness that you care barely stand it. That's my dream. 

Also here are some pretty pictures from that pinterest board.

Blog Challenge: Day 6!

A photo of an animal you'd love to keep a pet.

This one is so incredibly easy. I went to visit my boyfriend while he was staying with his father in North Carolina this summer and I got the chance to go to this really amazing exotic zoo (don't worry everything was regulation, the animals got lots of love and space to play) and we had the pleasure of actually being able to view and hold a few really cool animals. I held lemurs, a kinkajou, a baby tiger, a baby kangaroo, and a baby lion. All of them were adorable and so much fun to play with. However, the kinkajou was hands down my FAVOURITE. If you don't know what a kinkajou is it sort of looks like a cross between a lemur and a ferret that's brown. They love love LOVE attention and cuddles and they're nocturnal. As much as I would love to have one as a pet, I would much rather they live their lives out in the wild where they should be.

 

Kyle and I quickly fell in love with it.

SO FREAKING CUTE

Blog Challenge: Day Five!

A photo of yourself two years ago

*cringe*

Hannah and I (I'm on the right). 

I think the weirdest thing about this photo is that I look almost the exact same besides the hair colour and awful eyebrows. Oh well.

Blog Challenge: Day 3!

What's your favourite store?

So I've kind of been thinking about this all day (woke up at 6, it's now 5, that's a lot of time to think about a question) and I still can't say definitively what it would be. I think the closest I've ever come to a store where I just love everything they sell would be Urban Outfitters or New Look but the problem with those is that their sizes aren't ones that really work with my body type generally so I rarely shop there. I think the winner is probably American Eagle because their pants are the PERFECT fit for my bum (if you got da booty go there) and pants are an essential and they also have other cute stuff from time to time. A little bit of a boho style I would say.

Challenges

Ok. So...I'm going to do this thing.
I will hopefully succeed at this thing.
No promises though.

It's the 30 day blog challenge! Not sure why I made it sound so serious, guess I wanted a little mystery in my life.

I'm taking this from Renee at losetheroad.blogspot.ca, a gorgeous lady from the other-side-o-canada. Go check her out!

So. Beginning with day 1. 

This is me. Excuse the yellow tinged teeth, gotta work on that. 

My day was really great, did the 1.5 hour commute to school and back which was surprisingly pleasant both ways, had a yummy coffee, ate a cheeky cookie, saw my loverly boyfriend Kyle and relaxed watching christmas movies :) I think i'll go have a bath with my Lord of Misrule bath bomb.
