fever waves pt. 2

Hi All,

I don't know about you guys, but I hate November. I'm up to my ears in school work, midterms and general existential crises, and on top of that I'm supposed to brave the cold weather AND have a social life?! I'm feeling restless, which, if you know me or have been following my blog for a while, is to be expected. I seem to unconsciously make a total upheaval of my life every two years and, as I'm coming to the end of another two years, I'm feeling anxious for change again. I'm so looking forward to graduating this year and all the awesome changes that will come afterwards.

Here's part 2 of the series I shot with Brittany Lucas last month. I love these pictures because I was so cozy in my sweaters and having a lovely time.

I'm still, I'm still an animal

Like many other Canadian bloggers, I got sent these boots from Cougar, a brand that makes rainboots and snowboots. The winter ones are nice and cosy, and I'm sure I'll post them when it gets a little bit colder. It's been raining a lot here, so I've certainly been getting a lot of wear out of these. I really love how warm they are, and I hate to say it, but my Hunters have been sitting at the back of my closet collecting dust. As someone who generally just wears rain boots with thick socks in lieu of winter boots, I can definitely vouch for these as a good choice. If you want more info, check out Cindy from True North Style's more comprehensive review here.

This week has been one of my worst ever. School is making me crazy and exhausted and just emotionally drained. I'm flying to Montreal tomorrow, but I'll be back Friday. Hope you all have a great weekend! xo E

carrie necklace

Hi All,

A few weeks ago I received a necklace from My Name Necklace which was such a delight. I am given free things from time to time, but I have to say this is one of my absolute favourites. Like every other Sex and the City fan, I used to stare longingly at Carrie's gold "Carrie" necklace wishing for one of my own, and now I finally do! All of my friends have been saying they want one, and if you do too, you can click here to get one of your own.

Wearing necklace from MyNameNecklace, vintage fur vest, vintage Giorgio Armani blouse, Zara boots, Club Monaco hat, vintage clip on earrings.

in my head i paint a picture

Hello,
I picked this dress up at Urban Outfitters after weeks of thinking about it, only to return and find it on sale. It reminds me very much of Proenza Schouler FW10, and for now, it's probably as close as I'm going to get. I mean, as Lazaro said: "I often wonder, sometimes I think the people who buy our clothes live in a parallel universe. Hell, we can't even afford our clothes."

I paired it with a Topshop belt, Senso cheetah print shoes and Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in Ballet Rousse, as well as my new super-blonde hair. I went to my hairdressers yesterday and came home much blonder than expected, but I'm quite enjoying it.

I've got a super long weekend this weekend, so I'm off til Wednesday. I hope you all had a lovely one.
