Anchors, Away!

So, I am worried....what I thought was just a lingering desire to keep the cottage vibe going after last weekend, seems to have turned into a more chronic issue. I think I might like country music. More accurately, think I might like Luke Bryan. Last night I even had a dream that I met him at some sort of outdoor country hoe-down fair. On top of that I've always been a Taylor Swift fan, so really....I'm basically a cowgirl. I blame Sarah for all of this.

Below are some photos from my photoshoot with my friend Danka that I mentioned yesterday. What a difference a good camera and a great photographer make!

I'm wearing a pair of shorts and a chambray shirt because I'm a cowgirl this is basically my summer 2012 uniform. If I had known how much I would love these shorts from the Gap, I would have bought a pair in every colour. Seriously. They are fantastic and cover my whole butt which is a pretty big deal in today's day and age, not because I have a JLo butt (sadly) but because all shorts seem to be made for tweens only. Just the other day my friend Emilie and I were complaining about the fact that it's very difficult to find shorts for women of a certain age (aka. 25+). Everything is tiny, distressed, designed by Miley Cyrus or all of the above. So...here's to Gap and their age-appropriate shorts! Cheers!

I'm off to pack for my weekend adventure with my bestie Patrick. One more sleep until I get to see him. I can hardly wait!

I really liked this shot of me whippin' my hair back and forth a la Willow Smith and had to post it. It reminds me of the type of hazard people face when I get on the dance floor. There is a 4 foot radius of styled, dangerously full of product curl around me. So, if you see me on a dance floor - watch out!

Is Turning Purpleish Blue

I hate this cardigan.

I bought it at the Gap during our last shopping trip to the US. "Colourful cardigans" were on my list of things I needed, and I just wasn't finding any (I had also tried on 30 jean jackets none of which fit me properly)....so when I saw this hot pink cardi at the Gap, I bought it in frustration without even trying it on. When I did try it on I realized it's really droopy - it's shapeless and just hangs there. This is only my second time ever wearing it, and although I do like it better tucked in, I'm still not very impressed with it.

Also, I saw the "grown up" guy in the same exact elevator again this morning on our way to work. It was all a bit "dark ironic comedy"...silently and sleepily riding in the same elevator back to work, a short 14 hours after we rode the elevator home together yesterday. Life's little patterns.

I have a thing for timing.

Yesterday, a light was out at a major intersection on my way home and traffic was moving at a snail's pace. I had to stop for groceries. He stopped to get wine. We ended up in the same elevator.
This morning I slept in and woke up at 8:00 am (aka when I usually start working). We ended up in the same elevator.
If not for these random events, I wouldn't even know this guy existed but here I am mentioning him two days in a row. This is why I love the movie Run Lola Run.
timing. blows. my mind.
