Sooooo this week has been pretty brutal.. At least it's almost over. Just a few more nights of no sleep left. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I was featured on the website College Fashionista! My friend Camille is now a "Style Guru" for the website, and when she came to visit me in Montreal, she took a few pictures and interviewed me. Here is the link in case anyone was interested!

I am usually soooo not a "photoboother" but I wanted to show off my new hair, so here is a picture! I got my hair ombre-ed and I think it turned out pretty well! I was apprehensive since my hairdresser didn't really know what ombre was but she made it really subtle and I really like it!

I'm back in Montreal, I was in Toronto over the break. So many projects due this week, I'm so stressed! I also recently got the Designer position at this magazine at my school, so I've been designing a submissions poster for them this weekend as well. I'll be sure to post it when its actually approved.

My grandpa also gave me his old film camera when I was back home, I'm so excited. It's a Canon AE-1 which I've been trying to hunt down on craigslist, and he also gave me three lenses and a bunch of expired film. So hopefully this weekend I can shoot some things and have more photos to post.... It's been pretty sparse recently.

I should get back to my short story.. It's due tomorrow! But let me know what you think of the ombre look! Something you would try on your own hair?

Bye Hair (as I know it)! Tomorrow I'm dying my hair ombre! I really hope it turns out. But I figure it's at the length anyway that if I hate it I can just cut it. This weekend is insane work wise, so obviously I'm procrastinating by posting on the blog haha! I just want to get to Tuesday so my life can go back to normal.. relatively. Back to my short story and never ending projects! Hope everyone has a better weekend than mine! 

First blog post of the New Year, happy 2012 everyone! Sorry it's been so long, I was in Arizona over the break and didn't have a chance to update. But now I do! I started school again on the 3rd and it's been pretty hectic because I'm taking 3 full year classes this year. But fun work so far! I'll have more photos soon, but here are some things that happened over the last few months! Also... these photos look pretty awful on the blog so check out my Flickr for better quality versions!

First snow!

My Birthday dinner. Doilies are my favourite!

City of Craft 2011!

 Arizona

First few pictures from Arizona

I'm going back to Toronto tomorrow morning. I'm betting I'll be seeing a much larger kitten. This photo was from my week home in November. It'll be nice to be home and be able to focus on studying because I definitely have not done much of it in Montreal this past week. I also need to get my Creative Writing pieces in order (and actually start writing).

On Sunday I'm going to this Craft sale in Toronto that I am really excited about! I have already planned to get all of my Christmas gifts there. More info about "City of Craft" here if you live in Toronto and are interested in going!  

 Adventures in autumn.

My fall semester is coming to an end. I had the most amazing weekend! I only have one exam on the 15th so I am trying to take advantage of my free time and explore the city before it gets unbearably cold.

So this weekend I saw feist! It was unbelievable. My friends and I got there about an hour before so we were feet away from Feist when she performed! Also, we witnessed the most adorable proposal! At one point in the concert, the video camera on stage zoomed in onto this drum that had a little note with a proposal on it. Before the next song started, Feist asked what had happened and the entire crowd was silent until the guy yelled, "She said yes!" and the entire venue cheered! It was amazing.

I also made a doilie garland finally! I have about 1000 doilies in my room and they have been in their packages until yesterday. I'm liking how it looks in my room!

When I went exploring yesterday I also picked up issue 11 of Four Minutes to Midnight with the most beautiful illustrations. Kevin Lo, the creator of Four Minutes to Midnight, actually spoke to one of my classes this semester. Anyway I haven't had the chance to read through it yet, but the illustrations by Sophie Jodoin are really beautiful. More about the zine here.

I also FINALLY got my hands on a Lula issue! I've been wanting one for so long. My friend works at a magazine store and picked one up for me. I'm glad I know where to find them now. I've just started looking through it, but I am definitely falling in love. Miranda July is interviewed! There is photography by Autumn de Wilde! Perfect issue!

Hopefully I will have more to post later this week because I vowed that I will not start studying until the 8th and until then need to explore and have as much fun as possible!
