Runnin'

Runnin':

In the words of my current '6 God' muse (Drake, of course - did you even have to ask?), I have to ask: when am I not runnin' through the six with my woes (my woes include: midterms, projects, laundry and trying to 'responsibly' spend/save money)? Aside from un-tastefully quoting and naming this post after my favourite guilty pleasure rapper, I can't help but feel the Toronto pride in this new album translate into my outfit. Inspired by the 'health goth' trend, this is the kind of outfit I have fun wearing. My Alexander Wang X H&M tunic and shiny leggings match well with my classic Nike frees, while the best part is the pink lipstick (I believe in colour of some sort, always). Thank you lots and lots to Dylan Horner of The Prepfectionist for taking these pictures and be sure to show him some support by checking out his amazing new menswear and lifestyle blog!

PS - Although this look may seem purely costume (for those who know me and my 'work out habits'... or lack there of), I will have you know I made my 4th trip to the gym this school year! Beat that.

PSS - I'm embarrassed at how long I laughed at this snapchat. You go, Linds.

Tartan

Tartan:

Plaid, tartan and checkers… I associate all of these prints with the holidays, as my house is always decorated with colourful christmas motifs and ribbons in red and green. This outfit is the epitome of Christmastime for me, with a cozy fisherman sweater and my favourite piece, tartan pants. The pants are from my mother’s infamous pant collection, where I can always be sure to find an array of j. Crew trousers in an assortment of textiles, colours and prints. Although I am quite a bit taller than my mom and these pants are probably supposed to be full length on someone petite, I think they look just as cool as capris. Throw a black fur collar into the mix, a Langdon Hall forest background and a sprinkling of snow, you have a perfectly casual Christmas outfit. Happy holiday season!

Black, Gray and Red all over

Black, Gray and Red all over:

First semester is complete! It feels like I just started and now I'm already halfway through my first year of university. Even though time has flown by, so much has changed and grown in my life in these past months! I miss the city already, but it's really nice to be comfortably nested at home. A big change is driving again (as opposed to only walking and transit for the past couple of months), and I've already driven down a one-way no-entry hill and cut a man off in traffic so you could say I'm just getting used to it again (although admittedly, I've never been the best of drivers and have ran my fair share of stop signs). This shaky driving is evident in the pictures above as my little brother photographer tried to take pictures on the way home, which actually turned out. My outfit is pretty basic with a knit turtleneck, black high waisted jeans and a felt hat but it's practically my uniform at school so I figured it was a must-blog.
