Style Diary: Orientation Day

 

Hi there! School is back in session and I'm actually really enjoying it so far. That might change pretty soon when lots of hard Grade 11 work gets dumped on my head, but getting back into a routine is so nice. Gosh, I just love routines.

 

This outfit was from last week when the freshmen came in for orientation. I'm a Link Leader at my school which just means that I'm a part of a program that helps welcome the Grade 9s to make them feel more comfortable in a completely new environment. It wasn't something that I'd planned to do, but I'm really glad I accepted it.

 

Style Diary: Wandering Around in New York City

Hi there! If you've read any of my posts since I started you know, actually posting on here again, you probably know that I was in New York recently where I did a little photoshoot for a workshop I took. Only a few of the photos that were taken of me made it into the mock magazine that we made for class, so I figured I'd share with you the full outfit properly. 

I got that black top from Urban Outfitters ages ago (we're talking two Spring Breaks ago) and I'm so happy that I've finally put it to use. It's quite a sequin-y piece, and in turn, a bit more on the dressy side, something that I hadn't considered when I purchased it on a whim at a sale, so I wasn't able to wear it for quite a while. Hopefully, I'll be wearing more of this bad boy in the future because I'm kind of obsessed with it.

Style Diary: Can It Just Feel Like Spring Please

Hi there! This is only my second Style Diary of the year which is both surprising and not because I've always been a wimp when it comes to the cold. I mean, I won't dress appropriately for the weather all the time, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't seem to muster up the courage to head out in the cold in too-little clothes to take some photos of myself.

Thankfully, yesterday, my little brother was kind enough to spend two minutes (literally, I'm not exaggerating) outside with me to take these super quickly. It's funny because just on Tuesday, I was so excited because it was getting so warm where I live and then the day after it snowed. Like full out snowed. IN APRIL. I was outraged.

It was still cold on Thursday when he took these, hence the crossed arms which you'll find just after the jump.

Style Diary: Canine Interruptions + February Goals

Hi there! It's been a while since I've posted a Style Diary, so I thought why not get back into it? I'll be posting one of these bad boys every other week if anyone was wondering!

Today, it was uncharacteristically warm earlier in the week where I live so it was the perfect opportunity to get some shots for the blog. Unfortunately, you don't get to see my shoes because Nova was being quite the bad girl and was a bit of a handful, aha.

Style Diary: New Obsession

Hi there! The snow's quite a big difference from when you last saw me, eh? Winter came a bit earlier this year where I live, but the snow everywhere is just so pretty that I don't quite mind.

I somehow managed to drag my brother out of the house in the cold (even if it was just for a mere two minutes) to take some photos of me for this Style Diary. It was pretty darn cold but I'm really happy with how these turned out. Plus, I'm pretty sure this is your first glimpse of me in full-on snow ever which is pretty exciting.

Style Diary: Cadillacs in Our Dreams

Hi there! Super sorry for putting this up on freaking Sunday instead of Friday as promised. I'm double-posting today so don't you worry, you're getting your full load of posts courtesy of yours truly this week. Hope you enjoy this Style Diary and the Sunday Funday will be up at 6:30 pm EST!

Style Diary: Leather, Spikes, and Everything Nice

Hi there! Sorry that this is getting put up so late. I just had a complete drain of energy this week and lost motivation to do a lot due to my sleep deprivation. It was all good up until Tuesday and it went downhill from there. What I decide to wear really is often an accurate depiction of my mood for the day and I dress for who I want to be and what I need to be for the day, hence my slightly, err, moody outfit. I guess that's what you could call that, aha.

Style Diary: Last Taste of Summer

Hi there! I apologise that this is up a bit late and that I missed like two posts this week, but I've been a busy bee as always. My time-management skills will have to be put into overdrive from now until summer, so I'm crossing my fingers that things will go a bit more smoothly blogging-wise from now on.

I had a pretty darn amazing week at school these past few days, especially compared to my very eh second week of school. Loads happened, but of course, if you've been around for a while, you'll find out exactly what those things are on Sunday. It's an extremely rare case that I'll miss a Sunday Funday, so you can always tune in then to find out what I've been up to, but I've been busy, that's for sure.

Style Diary: Back to Burgundy

Hi there! Time is flying by and already my first week of school is nearly over. It's been pretty good so far and it's nice to get to see my friends again and get into a regular routine after being a bit all over the place this past summer. Some people I'm surrounded by aren't as happy about school as I am, but I'm trying not to let their negativity (or mild lack of enthusiasm) to get to me and spoil my mood.

Style Diary: A Run For It

Hi there! After a tiring week (that felt surprisingly short) with days spent at a desk in summer school, I'm back with another Style Diary! I really want to incorporate more posts where you get a glimpse at what I personally wear and how I style things, so I'm hoping that you'll be seeing a lot more of me in the future.

I'm going to be completely honest - this outfit was rather hard to put together. Because I'd just gotten back from vacation and bought quite a bit, I have a nice haul to show you guys, but I haven't done that yet (that's for Monday!), so I didn't want to have anything that I didn't previously own pre-vacation in the outfit. In the end, I caved (I know, shame on me) and centered the outfit around a pair of white sneakers from Adidas with a splash of neon on the sole.

Style Diary: With a Bang

Hi there! Here I am with another Style Diary for you guys. It's been quite the week for me, but I really can't complain because all in all, while I was incredibly busy, it was just great. The weather was great, the food was great, working out was great, and some pretty awesome memories were made. But let's leave that talk for Sunday, shall we?

It's getting a lot warmer, so I can (occasionally) get away with wearing just a t-shirt outside. I still haven't really brought out the shorts because the wind can get a bit much sometimes, but Canadian weather is getting there. It's getting there, guys.

Style Diary: Twin Lilac Skirts

Hi there! Now that I’m only posting four times a week, I’ll post an outfit post like this one every two weeks instead of every week. I’ve missed writing this series last week, so I’m glad that it’s back.

It’s getting so nice out where I am and the weather is just absolutely lovely. Spring has decided to come after all. I decided to take out this lilac faux leather skirt that I got back in September but haven’t worn until now. My friends and I decided to go to dinner that one day and since we were already in the area, we went to Urban Outfitters and my best friend and I decided to get matching skirts.

Style Diary: Leadership Camp!

Hi there! It’s been raining for a good chunk of this week where I am, but it finally let me, so I managed to get some decent shots, thank goodness. Unfortunately, this was for a school project and I am literally writing this minutes before I have to leave my house for a camp this weekend, so I'll post more of this outfit once I get the chance! Sorry in advance, guys.

This weekend, I’m headed to this thing called Leadership Camp at my school. It’s like an overnight camp where you basically just do fun activities and bond, as I’ve been told, with other students. You’re not supposed to actually learn about being a leader and all that as I’ve inferred from others’ descriptions of the weekend, so I really don’t even know why they call it that, to be honest. I guess I'll see. 

Style Diary: White Dresses and Light Winds

Hi there! Happy Good Friday! I hope that you're all home and enjoying a day off, one of the four of this awesome long weekend. I have too much work to do this weekend, but I'm still happy to get a break from school, for sure (even though I can honestly say that I love school).

I have a thing for white dresses in the spring and since I'm visiting my grandma today, I figured it'd be appropriate. It was pretty windy when I took these shots, but I managed to avoid any Marilyn Monroe moments (thank God).

Style Diary: Sweater Weather

Hi there! I'm honestly so excited to give you guys a proper Style Diary today. I feel like it's been ages (a couple months, actually) since I've been able to take decent shots for you, but here it is! It's getting so much warmer now, thank God because it's already April and if we hadn't gotten spring by now, I would've been ready to throw a fit. 

Style Diary: Lodging Attire

Hi there! Yesterday, I woke up about to welcome the first of spring only to look out my window and find it pouring rain. Like, seriously. It’s kind of hilarious that it happened, or maybe that's just me.

Unfortunately, it’s still too cold for me to go outside to take photos, plus it was raining, but I’m crossing my fingers that next week, I’ll be able to brave the hopefully milder cold to give you some quality shots (or at least better than the ones indoor).

Style Diary: Good Luck Canada!

Hi there! It's kind of crazy to think the end of February is just one week away, but you're probably tired of hearing about others' disbelief at the end of every month, so I won't elaborate. But I can't resist, two months of 12 are almost done!

One thing I do have to mention, however, is that it's finally getting warmer here! There are two ways to look at this: a) there's slush outside and it's wet and icky or b) spring is almost here! I chose to think positive so I just can't wait to start wearing spring clothes again!

Style Diary: Cozying Up

Hi there! Can you believe that it's already February? It's crazy. Apparently, the groundhog didn't see its shadow, so us Canadians are supposed to get our spring a bit early this year. (Knock on wood.) But let's be real here, Canadians are going to get another six weeks regardless of a stupid groundhog's shadow or lack thereof. Either way, it's still cold, so that's just no fun.

Style Diary: Lunar New Year

Hi there! First of all, I'd just like to say, happy, happy New Year to all those who celebrate it! Hopefully, it's a day you'll be spending with your family eating delicious food and gearing up for a better and brighter year to come. I'm going to keep this post short and sweet, so let's get into it!

Style Diary: It's Comfy Week

Hi there! Long time no see. Or is it talk? Anyway, I feel like I've been gone for way too long, but I've been working extra hard to finish up project and cram information in my head in time for my first ever week of exams. It's been kind of a hectic week. Just a bit.

Because of the craziness of exam prep, my school decided to have it be Comfy Week, meaning that we could show up in pajamas, sweats, leggings, etc. all week and it would be perfectly acceptable. One of those days, I decided to show up in a little something like this.
