After the Rain

It's been really wet here in Calgary. Vancouver level wet. I don't mind, but Calgary really isn't build for all the rain, and my heart goes out to those who were affected by the floods all over Southern Alberta. I remember when I was a kid, I would always be so excited when it rained, because it did so very rarely. Often, we suffered from droughts. However, as time passed and global warming started to kick in, rain has been the predominant weather forecast for June. 

Tomorrow

I'm so excited for tomorrow. I have my last final tomorrow, but right before I'll be heading to the Calgary Sample Sale. Some f my favourite brands will be there, including J Brand, Joe Jeans, and Free People. I'm really hoping to score a pair of black skinny jeans from J Brand and a jacket from Free People.

The sample sale will be held in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Kitchener. To see when, visit their website http://thesamplesaleguys.com/events/

Boston

I'm so sad to hear about Boston today, and my thoughts are with the victims and families of all those affected. If you want to help, donate to Red Cross or Salvation Army (they're the safest/most secure charity as it's so soon after the tragedy). 

Be safe.

Spring Trends I Love

Marchesa

My infection has nearly healed, so my foot is looking almost normal, albeit very dry. However, I should be able to start taking photos in a few days, as I'm tired of being relegated to winter boots and flip flops. In the mean time, I thought I'd share a bit of spring inspiration.

It's supposed to start warming up here, so I thought I'd share a few of the spring trends I love and think anyone can wear. A lot of the clothing I saw on the runways was quite wearable actually, except perhaps Marchesa's gowns; gotta save those for special occasions. ;) 

Sorry

Sorry for the long hiatus there. I suffered from an infection due to s small scrape on my foot, which then turned into a large scrape. It became badly infected the next day and swollen to the size of a football. Needless to say, I ended up having to go to the hospital and ended up needing an IV for the weekend. Thankfully I was allowed to go home and to work, albeit with an IV in a fanny pack. (I hid it in a large purse for work for the sake of my pride.) I'm almost better now, and have switched to oral antibiotics. My foot is also considerably less swollen, so I can now wear boots at least. I'll try and have  some photos for you this weekend.
Lesson learned: get a scrape breaking in a new pair of shoes, apply some alcohol and polysporin.

April Fools!

April Fools Arielle! Your camera is going to overexpose everything while you take photos and the sun is too bright to actually notice via the on-camera screen. =P Ah well, so go my adventures in self photography. Does anyone have any tips?

April Wish List

Celine Bag

I'm always torn between what I want, and what I actually need for my closet.
