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

Silk Road

Silk is one of my favourite fabrics to wear. It's so soft and luxurious looking but extremely difficult to take care of! Being the clutz and the messy eater I am, I always seem to have to take my shirts to the dry cleaners after every use. And can I just say, those dollar bills add up! I've tried washing them by hand and then steaming them myself and the results have been pretty much the same (still liking dry cleaning better though). Any tips on keeping silk nice and clean? Let me know! Till then here are just a few of my favourite silk items xo,

The Start of Summer

This weekend was my first few days of summer and I must say they have been amazing! Saturday I slept over at one of my best friend's house alongside with her boyfriend and mine. It was so nice spending the whole night making sushi and watching movies and then waking up to cook breakfast. I'm so blessed to have them in my life! Then today John and I headed over to Castle Loma, a historical attraction in Toronto for the first time ever. It was great to learn new things and see the beautiful castle (and all for free might I add!) It was an extremely windy day but enjoyable nonetheless! It's always fun to try new things! xo

Windy day!

Outside the castle

Beautiful pieces

Love this

The lady's bedroom...tad bit jealous!

The top of the tower. A lot of people wrote or engraved their name/date. Actually the whole wall was covered! Wish we brought something to mark our names but sadly we had nothing! Oh well, photos are just as good :)

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!

Indulgence

Took a break from studying and went out for a triple date with the gang :) Too bad I couldn't take a group photo (seeing as we went to watch the movie Wrath of the Titans) but it's ok, it's the thought that counts :) Anyways before that, the boyfriend and I headed to Pickle Barrel in which we thought it was a good idea to pretty much order everything on the menu (catch my sarcasm there). We ended up getting nachos, sweet potato fries, a salad, pasta and paella...and we couldn't even finish! Ugh, sooooo much food and so we had to take it to-go. (Plus the service was not too friendly that night, no tip for you glen coco!) Oh well, now we know not to order so much in the future! LOL enjoy your week xo
