Hello Readers!
So I figured that I should post up my last two outfits in case I run out of time before I leave. Hope you guys like. Ever since the weather has warmed up I've been in the mood for the most flirty , and girly dresses in my closet. Can you tell? It's funny because simply slipping into a flirty dress, like one of the above, simply makes me feel more feminine. Just like an edgy outfit makes me feel more avant-garde. I think this is why we, bloggers, are so amazed, inspired and obsessed with fashion. It can make you into whoever you want to be, for however long you choose to don a particular garb. It can enhance your mood, uplift your spirits. Fashion is a friend that will always be there to cheer you up - and will never ditch you for her new boyfriend. And this is why I will always love fashion.
A fun little quiz taken from The Lovelylist. Thanks Krystal!
Reading: "Sellevision" by Anthony Burroughs and "Emma" by Jane Austen. The first is hilarious, and the latter is a must-read (as are all of Austen's collections as they are written in a different era but are still so strikingly poignant).
Listening to: Angus & Julia Stone, Free Energy, Wolf Parade
Watching: nothing! I'm not a big TV person... when I watch TV I have to watch episodes chronologically. I get into phases where I become obsessed with a show online and will watch all the episodes. I love Heartland, Being Erica, and the City at the moment.
Dreading: The plane ride on Monday! It's not that I'm afraid of heights or plane crashes. Rather I'm a germaphobe and hate how the germy air is recirculated for 7 hours - yuck! Also, I hate the icky smell that comes from the frozen, disgusting food they serve. It permeates everything you wear and I swear that I smell that wretched scent for days afterwards! Also, not looking forward to jet lag- never fun.
Excited About: England (of course). Returning to work at the barn for a week, and Victoire for the rest of summer. How fun! Also looking forward to picking my classes for next year.
Craving: Starbucks nonfat latte, Juice Monkey lebanese fruit parfait (yum - and healthy!)
Wanting: New shoes! (See last post!) Either some nice flat ones that I can walk around in or a higher pair for castings. Or both. Ideally :)
Hoping: That magically my suitcase will be less than 50lbs and that I won't have to pay excess baggage fees.... Hey, a girl can dream right!?
Lots of love,
K.xx
Outfit 1: Dress: Urban Outfitters. Cardigan: Zara. Belt: Topshop. Shoes: Dolce Vita at Victoire.
Outfit 2: Dress: Winners (several years ago and only wore it for the first time this year!). Belt: Target (wish we had one in Canada!). Shoes: Aldo.

loved the belt over the cardigan!! And the blue dress is really cute!! and your shoes ♥ I'm seriously in love with them!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I saw a pair of shoes in Zara and completely fell in love with them, and that reminded me of you! haha I would sell my sould for them! Still, I have to wait a few days so my dad can buy them for me as he is currently abroad.
Anyway, I'm from Uruguay, a small (tiny, actually) country in Sourh America. I hate it because there are no fashion opportunities for me here, so that means I will have to move somewhere else (my dream would be either London or Paris). But Uruguay it's not that bad, like the weather is pretty good (there are no hurricanes, and weird stuff haha) and the people are really nice. You should visit it one day, we have gorgeous beaches ;) haha. I went to London to study, I was actually staying at Cambridge (the city, not the university), but went to London A LOT. Studying was the excuse to go there, I always wanted to go to England, and besides I kind of had to get away because I was going through some bad stuff, so it was the perfect time! I also went to Paris and Edimburgh, it was amazing! An incredible experience!
