When Boohoo offered to team up on a fun t-shirt DIY, I was beyond excited � Not only do I love the brand (this shirt is beyond cozy), but you know I'm always down for a little DIY action. The kit they sent over included all kinds of goodies � like puffy paint and jumbo rhinestones � but since I'm on a "less is more" kick these days, I opted for some subtle studding instead. The result? A shirt I'll be rocking for years to come.

Pssst! Did you know that Boohoo offers free shipping on all orders over $25? They're also waving duty charges over the next few days, which � as my fellow Canadians can attest � always makes a huge difference... xx

I'm not sure if Kevin ever gave Winnie his varsity jacket back at McKinley High � or if he even wore varsity jackets, for that matter � but since I keep meaning to rewatch The Wonder Years (I'm currently deep in Felicity and Buffy the Vampire Slayer land), the title just felt right. I mean, can you think of anything more quintessentially "high school" than a varsity jacket? I keep picturing the Wakefield sisters (or some other stereotypical teen dream) running around in their boyfriends' oversized jackets looking all cute and popular... But as someone who had neither the boyfriend nor the varsity jacket in high school, the closest I can get is this Forever 21 version I bought for myself well into adulthood... Hey, it's never too late. xx

I've been a very busy bee lately, which hasn't left much time for things like proper nutrition, nails that are unchipped and, well, blog musings that are halfway interesting. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm sleep-typing this very post. Yawn. To quit while I'm ahead (read: semi-conscious), I'll leave you with this one realization: I've never met a print combination that I haven't liked. Camo and leopard? Bring it on. The only thing that could top this would be some sweet geometric or polka dot action... Or preferably both. The busier the better, unless you're talking about my life, in which case I revert back to my original statement � You know, something about malnourishment, ugly nails, and... zzzz

Wardrobe Wednesday...

Photobucket

I don't know if you guys remember, but when I moved back to Edmonton last summer I somehow lost a box filled with all my favourite jewelry... So after tearing apart my house (and getting my mom to do the same in Victoria), I finally came to terms with the fact that it was gone... Forever.

Heartbroken, I tried to move on by treating myself to some new baubles, but the memory of my three favourite necklaces haunted me... Until one fateful day when I was looking for some shoes to wear, and unsuspectingly opened a box to find � joy of joys � my long lost jewelry! Eeeek! Needless to say, screaming ensued and I've been wearing my old favourites ever since... Things just have a funny way of working out, huh?

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! xx
