It was oddly warm today, but spent my day in class, got free drinks courtesy of glacéau, and then booked it to work right after. I am looking forward to a few things in the coming weeks. Shopping date with Annie, bestie coming home for thanksgiving, no school, Fashion with Compassion, hockey, and possibly a road trip. I am so loving life right now!

backstage at Malorie Urbanovitch S/S 2011

Annie and I had the pleasure of helping Malorie Urbanovitch dress backstage yesterday at Transalta. It was her first time presenting a collection at Edmonton Fashion Week, but she looked like a veteran out there. A human ecology turned film studies student, Malorie started out as a stylist for Mode Models before trying her hand at designing. Her down to earth nature showed in her spring collection, which included beautiful high-waisted trousers, big collars on crop-tops paired with fun, high-waisted skirts, and knit dresses with hand woven yarn pieces. Thank you so much to Malorie for being such a sweetheart and I hope to see you again next year at fashion week!

I'm obsessively opposed to the typical

I was a zombie this entire weekend, working and trying to fend off a cold. I mustered enough energy to attend EFW on Saturday with Sharon. I ended up running into Tim and Celina, and they both looked so cute. Overall, I was pretty disappointed because I basically went to see Sid Niegum's collection, only to realize that he was attending FIT and that he would not be showing anything this year. The pieces were actually from his previous collection last spring. I really want that tetris shirt! It would be nice to run errands in.

Summer is coming to an end! It was full of good laughs with best friends, fist pumping in the car, travels, and realizing a little more about what I want to do with my life. I am actually really excited to start my final year of University. Or maybe I am just excited to go back to school shopping...either way, I will be the one rocking faux fur (as always) to my 8am class. Don't judge.

Went to Chinatown to look for chinese chips and left empty handed. Cuttle fish snacks, where have you all gone?!

I ended up at the Latitude 53 Gallery after a long day of awkward encounters, getting locked out of my interview, waiting to get my haircut and thought I deserved a drink. Met up with my sister and her boyfriend, stalked the food people because I was so hungry, walked through a bed sheet maze and had to do a double take on a picture of a baby cow's axed head. I swear I would appreciate art so much more if it wasn't so random sometimes.

I'm not lost, just undiscovered

Went to Mikado for lunch with my mom today. I forgot how good sushi tastes when you're on a specific carbs only diet.

I got this dress from the last Value Village sale back in May. I remember looking at the fitting room lineup and almost put the dress back because the line was so long, but my mom told me to disregard the sign on the bathroom door saying 'no merchandise beyond this point' and to try it on in there. Thanks Mom!
