But if I kiss you, will your mouth read this true?

Fall is here and I couldn't be happier! Time to pull out the blanket scarves, cozy knits and leather jackets...yes, life is goooooood. I figured today I'd go pretty hobo/casual considering I'm just heading to school for only one class. This week month has been pretty hectic and a lot has changed so hopefully I can post more about that later! Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather and change of scene xo

BIG NEWS

So I finally got off my lazy arse and got me a new job (refer to post below)! Yes, I have moved from the life of retail...well back to the life of retail! Funny enough though, I'm okay with it. I'll now be working as a seasonal sales associate at a store I actually enjoy shopping at and hopefully working in. And that store is...Anthropologie! I'm so excited to be starting my new job (not only are the benefits/discounts awesome..but one of my close friends works there which means more "us" time..yay!) and I'm actually proud of myself for making a conscious effort to make myself more happy. Anyways, till next time, here are also just a few more "outfits of the days" I've pieced together during my lazy summer days...enjoy! xo

Living for the Weekend

Ever since I started student teaching (oh right, news cap: I am now teaching in classrooms. Hide yo kids, hide yo homework), I seriously feel that I am condemned to a life of cotton shirts and blazers. Luckily though, I still have the weekend to indulge in my somewhat edgy and "non-appropriate" classroom clothes! Here are just a few little outfits I have pieced together for the past few weeks. Enjoy xo,

Confessions of an Instagramer

So let me be frank here, I have been sucked into the life of Instagram! Yup, thats right. I have finally gifted myself with an iPhone and am now abusing my privledges by taking a concerning amount of OOTD posts and something called "foodporn." And so due to the fact that my camera is no longer hooking up to my computer, feel free to follow me @_chellebelle on Instagram where you can finally catch up with me! Otherwise, I'm going to try and fix my camera problems so I can be on this more often. Till then, catch you later xo

Plain Jane

I usually like to keep my clothes and colours to a minimal and this outfit was quickly put together in a matter of minutes. I think a lot of times I tend to overthink what I'm going to wear, but lately the warm weather has inspired me to keep it chic and simple! I also managed to raid my mother's closet to find this lovely vintage piece that my father bought my mother when they were dating. I love vintage because it can be mixed with current trends to make a unique outfit! Have fun and enjoy your summer readers xo

Wild Child

Happy Victoria's Day! I know I made an earlier post about my weekly tidbits but I completely forgot to wish everyone a very Happy Victoria's Day yesterday! In light of it all, my day was spent with one of my bestfriends, their boyfriend and their family in their neighbourhood park. We played frisbee, watched kids shoot noobish fireworks, swung on a very unstable swing, and ate an immense amount of food! It's been a while since I spent somewhat quality "family" time and going to the park for some physical activity was quite a nice change from shopping or going to the movies. Anyways, here's the outfit of the day and hopefully I'll be doing more in the future! xo

OOTD: 1. Aritzia "Talula" Graphic Wolf Tank/ 2. Aritzia "Wilfred" High-Waisted Linen Black Shorts/ 3. American Apparel Tribal Bandeau/ 4. Forever 21 Trbail Feather Necklace
Can you tell I'm obsessed with this tank?

Tres Avant Garde

A few days ago was one of my close friend's birthday and I can't help but thinking all of my friends will soon be the age of 21 (which is extremely strange since I've known most of them since I was 14)! On the actual day of his birthday his girlfriend, my boyfriend and I all headed down to his old neighbourhood for a mid day lunch at a local bar. Our server was so nice, moving our table outside so that we could eat while taking care of Cocoa (John and I's puppy) and even took a few photos of us while we munched away at our food. Next we headed to High Park to catch a glimpse of the cherry blossoms before they all fell. It was a bit of a gloomy day, but it was definitely still fun venturing off in search for the perfect spot to relax (if you live in the Toronto region, I highly suggest you to go see them before it's too late!) Anyways, the day was nicely topped off with a trip to IKEA and then a horrid horrid experience watching the movie "Cabin in the Woods." Nevertheless, an awesome day for an awesome guy! Happy birthday Chris!

OOTD (not worn going to High Park but to the Crawford for his birthday party): 1. Aritzia "T.Babton" Silk Blouse/ 2. Aritzia "Talula" Graphic Wolf Tank/ 3.

So yesterday, I finally got to celebrate my 21st birthday with a bunch of my friends I haven't seen in a long time! I must admit, the last couple of hours preparing for this dinner were quite hectic (seeing as a few people could not make it last minute and my inability to cancel other reservations at "backup" locations creeped up behind me) but it all seemed to come together to make for a perfect evening! I was finally reunited with my childhood bestfriend who I have not seen in over a year (long distance schools make it quite the impossible task) while Milestones (located in the Atrium of Dundas Square, Toronto) kindly opened up the private dining room for my friends and I (yay, us!). It was such a nice experience- the waiters were friendly (mind you they were sometimes few and far in between), the food was yummy and the company made the evening that much more special. A great start to to the 21st year xo

Reunited

...and it feels so good! (refer to title for what seems to be a random insert) Yesterday a few of my friends and I headed over to Masa, a sushi restaurant found near Bay and Bloor, for some all-you-can-eat dinner. It was great seeing them as many of them go to universities outside the city or far enough that I'd probably get lost trying to find my way there (it might as well be outside the city). We had all-you-can-eat sushi, Japanese dishes and our waitress was even kind enough to give us free ice-cream on the house! (which pretty much resulted in a big tip and more than the cost of our ice cream) I would definitely recommend this place to other people although the lowest priced menu has a lot less options than the step up! After that we all headed downtown to sit and conversed about old high school memories. Time seriously does fly! But I'm still so happy to be friends with such amazing people :) Till next time, xo

Get Happy

So yesterday I went to a job interview at The Bay that my loving friend, Jacqui, helped me get hooked up with. I was so nervous but her manager was the nicest employer I have ever met! She was so sweet, funny and pretty much reminded me of my high school math teacher (which ended up relaxing me quite a lot). The interview wasn't very formal at all and she said all I have to do is come in next Tuesday and fill out an application form, check my references and they can officially give me a job at their company! Yay! I never really thought at working at The Bay before but I was not about to give up this opportunity to work with a close friend and make some extra cash. I really hope all goes smoothly as I seem to always have a tendency to predict the worst. Fingers crossed! So being the impulsive me, I was so happy at how the interview went, I decided to head to Aritzia (Bloor location) to buy a few things. Well, actually I was head to Zara to look at this military jacket I really wanted (I'll post the photo below) but was completely sidetracked. Oh well, it happens! Anyways, I went inside and ended up falling in love with a boyfriend fit denim shirt and linen shorts. Actually, the denim shirt was on my wishlist and I finally convinced my brother, Jeffrey, to buy it for my birthday! Yay, thanks Jeffrey! Anyways the girl who cashed me out was really nice and turned out to be the "famous" jewellery maker a lot of my managers talked about at Yorkdale. I loved their drop necklaces with a bullet at the end and found out she was the one who made them! (Sadly she said she was out of materials to make a new one). I really hope she sells her stuff because they're so nice! Anyways after all seeing an old co-worker who now works as the security guard for that Aritzia I finally headed out and went home. Good day all in all :) xo

Lazy Mondays

Too lazy to dress up or even compile something nice to wear. Chose to wear a baggy Aritzia sweater, some leggings and accessorize with floral details. Spring has sprung and I want school to be done with!
