Deals Anyone?

Alright so I'll admit it now, I am a huge shop-a-holic - my boyfriend and my bank account hate it, but it is probably one of my favourite things to do.
I have been checking out the Old Navy website and found some super cute pieces for super great deals (this is something that's important to a student).

Happy Hallowe'en

Thought this picture of a past cookie myself and my sisters made would be appropriate to start off this pumpkin, candy eating holiday post. I spent last night with a friend, we ate a load of candy and studied - yes, this is what my Hallowe'en has become, stuffing my face and trying to remember what the difference between qualitative and quantitative research is.
I didn't partake in ANY partying, or even bother buying a costume. I don't even have to decorate because we live in an apartment building and children aren't allowed to trick or treat in it - perhaps if children were allowed and I wasn't drowning in exams, I would put forth some effort. My lack of Hallowe'en enthusiasm is not because I hate it.
It's quite good fun actually, who doesn't thoroughly enjoy getting free candy for putting on a costume?
On my first Hallowe'en my parents let me pick my costume, I was three, and I was Batman - unfortunately I don't have any of these pictures on my computer - but just less than 20 years later I was Batman again!

 

My more recent Batman costume was made by yours truly, and completed with pleather tights and black boots - much better then the Batman dress that accentuated your boobs and exposed your ass (last time I checked Batman didn't wear a dress).

Have you ever made a costume, did you have a favourite?

Hey Ladies .. Wanna Know a Secret?

Have you been trying to find natural feather hair extensions, and found yourself not wanting to pay upwards of $20 for them?
Well if you're still looking to compliment your fall wardrobe click here to go to this fab Etsy store, where they have clearance feathers for not much more than $10 after shipping!
Exciting, right?

Past Adventures

I thought I would share some of my favourite pictures from my trip with my boyfriend over the summer of  2010. We spent 4 months in England, a week in Paris and a week in St.Gilgen Austria (my favourite place, I could have stayed there forever)

A Post About Books

Who isn't a fan of Sex and The City? And even though the second movie was a bit over done - the entire series and the first movie have always been a favourite. I have been in the reading mood lately and thought I might check out "Love Letters of Great Men" - (THAT book ^) or rather, the book that Carrie reads in the first movie.
UNFORTUNATELY someone thought it would be a great idea to put a book title in a movie that doesn't exist. Well, now it does, but that's because after the out cry for a book that doesn't exist, a few authors published it. I am so incredibly disappointed by this! Now I'm not saying that these love letters don't exist, because they do - just not an authentic book that encompasses them.
The one I am considering reading can be found here


Sticking with the book topic ..
I just finished reading a book called 'Lullabies for Little Criminals' which tells the story of a little girl growing up without a mother, and a heroin addict for a father. It was brutally honest and incredibly sad, but incredibly good.
Find it Here


Setting aside my obsession with the Harry Potter series and the Twilight Saga (yep I am that person) I think my recommendation to you will be a book I read this summer. A book that was so good that I literally could not put it down - I was reading it at work when my boss wasn't looking!
This is almost more than a recommendation, this is me TELLING you to read The Help. I know it was made into a movie and many of you will say well 'I don't read', but I'm sure you actually can process words in your brain - and assuming this, you can and need to read this book.
Now go to the library OR find it HERE !

Saying Hello!

Well, I ditched my Tumblr blog - too many children wining about not being thin enough and criticizing each other . When I realized that all the good blogs I actually read are on blogspot, I though I'd better make a move.
I also moved so I could start a different kind of blog, rather than re-blogging a load of useless pictures I want to blog about anything I happen to like (so expect that's what you'll find here).
If you're wondering about me - I'm a psychology student at Carleton University. I live with my boyfriend in a less than glamorous apartment, and love fashion, art, music and photography. I take pictures as a hobby when I have time, but reading text books mostly occupies my time.
My boyfriend is from England - and yes, has the accent that goes with it. I won't lie, I love it. We spent just about four months there while he finished his undergrad - and I would live there in a heart beat.
I myself am Canadian and accent-less (from my own point of view anyways).


Being a student I suppose I should get some work done. I hope this blog is enjoyed as I enjoy the blogs I read
