I like tulips. They're a reliable sign of spring. The groundhogs have been out and about too, I'm getting pretty excited about wearing a different wardrobe and retiring my jackets for the next few months.

Sometimes I think I feel sorry for flowers. Their entire worth is in how beautiful they are and when wilt, they're no longer of any use.

I haven't done much else lately, mostly half-hearted studying, lots of cooking and going out to eat. My life has revolved around cheap food + studies + boyfriend for the past month.

Of new apartments and exams

It would be my luck that my exams start later and end in a cluster. Lots of my friends are done with this year already! Summer is so close I can almost taste it but unfortunately I'm a hermit for 10 more days. So yesterday I gave up and went to play dress-up. I usually don't even bother with changing out of pajamas if I'm not going anywhere, but it's a welcome distraction! Weather is still a little too cold for this get up anyhow.

I've since moved into my new apartment. My roommates will be joining me in September! I was given the master bedroom, and I have a walk-in closet for the first time. Kevin by the clothing rack is courtesy of my boyfriend who won him for me at Canada's Wonderland hehe. I have committed to keeping my room clean like this everyday! Let's see how long that lasts...

This is the only pair of over-the-knee boots I have right now and I really want more! They're cheap material from a cheap brandless shop but look quite nice on. Didn't get to wear them during the winter. The dress is a flimsy thing I found on sale at Winners, a bit transparent so I have on a thicker skirt underneath.

Also I did my nails because well... procrastination and such. Anyway, I'm looking into studying pomodoro style - study 25 min, 5 min break cycles. Its worked out for the past couple of hours, fingers crossed!

Feather on the Clyde

Just when I thought spring was here for good, I'm reminded that I live in Canada, where seasons don't matter and it's always winter.

This is the kind of outfit I've been dreaming about wearing for the past 6 months. Snow came to London (Ontario) mid-October last year and both semester have been one slushy trek after another. Both the top and bottoms are from Goodnight Macaroon for a total price of $1! When I first stumbled onto the site I loved the styles but the they were a bit pricey. Then I found out they have a selection of items on sale for just a dollar each. I picked up 7 items, and this set along with some floral pants turned out to be winners for me.

After being obsessed with rompers last year I realized what I liked about them is that the top and bottoms match, and here we are today. Paired with a leather bookbag my dad got me from China and standard white pointed heels that I wear for business formal events. It's too early to break out the open toed shoes I think!

I've been listening a lot to Passenger lately, some really lovely music with thoughtful lyrics.
