say hi to 2011

Said goodbye to the best friend today. Pardon our tired faces, it's been a crazy couple of days. Having him back is always a breath of fresh air, and despite the distance and our polar opposite schedules, we still manage to make it work. He's the one person who understands what I'm going through emotionally. All my fears, worries, etc, but his attitude is what I hope to carry with me through my last semester of University.

2010 has been good to me, and I am excited to start 2011 on my own.

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?!
