rainy pale blues



Happy Thanksgiving weekend! To celebrate my weekend, I literally did nothing but eat, sleep, procrastinate, and work on a secret project, ooooh! That's why I haven't been updating as much, to be honest, but basically Friday was picture day, aka the most useless and hardest day to dress for ever. Like seriously, it's hard enough to pick a nice outfit, now I gotta know what looks nice just above my stomach? And I only get one shot at a nice picture? I'm done. At least the rest of the day was a good kick-off to the weekend, consisting of binge eating and binge watching. Yay!



Like mentioned, Picture Day is almost impossible to dress for. So this year, I tried to go with my gut instinct and just went for a simple look instead of something too intricate. I wore a basic striped tank top, and paired it with a pale pink blazer (although, not gonna lie, I replaced it with a dark grey cardigan for the photo, just for a simpler look). I accessorized with just a simple jewel necklace (since that's all you'll see), and paired it with basic boyfriend jeans and ankle booties.




Close up of jewelry overload, woot.


I truly believe that every girl should own a pair of boyfriend jeans. They're super cute, and can fit any style that one has. It can be paired with a sporty outfit, trendy outfit, dark outfit, anything! And, since they're so loose, it's perfect for hiding food babies (I'm sure I've mentioned this before). Boyfriend jeans are life.

where's waldo


If these photos look messier or more rushed than usual, it's because it was (although 99% of my photos are rushed). I'm not a morning person, or a Monday person, so yesterday morning was particularly hard on me, especially since Day 1's are my academic days (sigh). Although, a highlight, and the reason I was rushed, was that afterschool I took it upon myself to treat myself to a movie I've been dying to see: The Skeleton Twins! I uploaded my review last night, so there are my thoughts on it in detail, but basically I adored it, and I love love love Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader! Sadly, all good things come to an end, as when I returned from a nice solo film trip, I was welcomed home with Chemistry, Physics, and English homework. Oh, sigh.



It is now the second week of school, which is my cue to try and step up my game on what I'm wearing! I'm a believer in wearing whatever I feel like, no matter the occasion, so I tend to like to dress up for school (especially after the first week is over. I agree with many beauty gurus when they say that the first week everyone tries their best. After that, people start to relax, which is the best time to amp it up). Although, while I wanted to look nice, it is Monday, and I did know I was going to be chowing down on buttery popcorn afterschool, so I wore my loose and comfy boyfriend jeans. Originally, I was going for a grungier look, and I paired my red striped shirt with a flannel around the waist, but last minute decided to look more put together, and just simply did that by wearing my ankle booties. I went really minimal with the jewelry, and as much as I'd like to have a smart explanation to why I did that, it's simply just because I was running late this morning.


Two perfect examples of classic wardrobe pieces: the striped shirt and short necklaces. Do not let fashion magazines and other people bring you down: stripes are life. Don't listen to the haters that say it makes you look larger: the key is in the fit! As for short necklaces, the layering opportunities are endless, and they're so delicate you can pair them with any outfit.


I spent this summer on a wild hunt for the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans. I'm shorter and not really on the thin side, so this was like Mission Impossible for me. Luckily I stumbled upon these at Zara and fell in love. I never thought I'd wear any other jeans except for skinnies, but now I see what I've been missing out on. Now all I need is the actual boyfriend to go with the boyfriend jeans.

These boots look like they're on the verge of death but that just means I really love them (we all show affection in different ways).

cryptic code


 Even though I love going out and I love adventures, there is nothing I love more than films. Films are my passion, they are my life, and I dream of one day impacting the world with films, whether I be on the screen, behind it, or both, it does not matter, just the fact that I. Love. Films. So, even though today is the last day before school officially starts for me, and even though it was gorgeous out, I chose to spend the day at the theatre, as I haven't gone in quite a long while. I took pictures with my friends quickly before heading to the closest theatre near us, Silvercity Metropolis, to watch The Maze Runner. Hopefully, by the time this is up, I'll have written a review on the film, but to put it simply: I liked it much more than I expected to. The plot was pretty good, the acting wasn't bad, and not gonna lie, there was plenty of eye candy in the film that I thoroughly enjoyed (here's looking at you, Mr. O'Brien). OH! The entire time, there was this little kid behind me who shouted out comments at absolutely everything, including a hilariously timed "WHAT" during an intense scene. Anyways, with the movie pretty much taking up most of my day, after it was finished I just grabbed a quick dinner at Tim Hortons, and went home, to finish up some posts, and watch an episode of Sherlock. Speaking of that, I am one episode away from being caught up, and I think I'll probably start it once I'm done this. Better get to it.




The only time I truly do put comfort before fashion is when I'm going to the movies. I find it much more important to wear comfortable clothes that will effectively hide my food baby, than to wear the cutest outfit I own. With that in mind, I slipped on my boyfriend jeans, as they are loose and I don't have to worry about suffocation, like with high-waisted shorts. I threw on a simple graphic t-shirt from Zara, and a plain long necklace. Going with the simple scheme, I chose my Aldo flats for shoes, and grabbed my old, bent-way-out-of-shape Topshop bag. Because it's so old and ratty, it's the perfect bag for sneaking in Mcdonald's (greasy fries in a Kate Spade bag? I don't think so). Lastly, on my way there, since it was sunny, I put on my sunglasses, as a final touch to the look.


I remember seeing a clutch of some sort with the exact same print. I think I'm going to get that for myself soon, it's rather cute.


Boyfriend jeans are one of the best style staples I've bought in a loooong time. They are so comfortable, and can easily be dressed up or down. They're like the skinny jeans, comfier, more relaxed sibling. As a person who's been wearing skinnies since the dawn of time, I can't begin to explain how nice it is to have room in my pants.

To be quite honest, I have a really good feeling that I accidentally bought these shoes in a size that's a tad too small for me. For the most part, they're fine, they're not too bad, but I've come to realize that after a long day of walking, my toes were honest to god, killing me. Sigh, if my feet had hands, they would honestly shoot me for all the pain I put them through.

It has been about 7 years since I first met Asahi, but it feels like a lifetime (not in a good way. Kidding, kidding. Mostly kidding). Because we've known each other for so long, she's one of those people that I can spend a whole day doing nothing with, but we can both still call that a successful hangout. Going to the movies is a usual pastime for us. We stuff our faces with all sorts of junk food, complain when we lose at Timeplay, make silly comments before the movie starts, make sillier comments during the movie, and most of all, make silly and stupid comments after the movie. Aaah, friendship.
