Mrs.Tomasi Hill

With her striking red hair, her cat eye sunnies and her amazing sense of style, Taylor Tomasi hill has become on of the most influential individuals among street style blogs. She is currently Editor of Marie Claire US magazine and in previous years worked for Teen Vogue Magazine as accessories director. What I admire most about her style is that it is innovative and forever changing. She puts together memorable outfits that are playful yet sophisticated creating a classic air about her. She has become one of my favourites!

Trustworthiness

I can hardly believe it's already March; I am absolutely ecstatic for the snow to melt and for spring to begin. February has been painfully busy, with dance seven days a week, a new semester and the search for the perfect grad dress, the stress really began to build. Hopefully March is a little less busy, but I highly doubt it will be. Anyways I thought I would share my beloved school bag and all that is in it. What sold me on this Calvin Klein back pack was the many little compartments, my favourite being the zipper flap at the top!

Cabin Fever

The combination of a weeks worth of studying, four-ish hour sleeps and litres of caffeine have begun to turn both Jae and I mad! Coffee, the drink that makes miracles happen is now my new bestie. During the time I was supposed to have been actually studying I have unsurprisingly have been doing a lot of online shopping or well research? I came across a ton of old Tom Binn's jewellery and fell in love once again. The pieces are unique, consisting of bright and neon hand painted swarovski crystal, pearls, limitless amounts of texture and form and clever designs. If you haven't already I suggest checking out his line for Disney's Alice in Wonderland, the pieces are each very different and have a corky sense about them.

Little Monkeys

These next few weeks are going to busier then ever, so we are going to apologize now for the lack of posts. The semester is almost done and I can hardly wait to begin the new one! However, with a new semester finals (killmenow) must be written; ours begin Wednesday. Everyone is high strung due to lack of sleep/stress; teachers are cracking the whip and assigning what feels like 18243534 assignments added to tour 5745334534545 hours of studying. I'm sure you get the point.

Anyways, we finally got around to doing an outfit post! This past weekend Jae and I ended up at our friends house party and by the end of the night it turned into a much needed dance party! The idea for the post was pretty sporadic and many of the pictures turned out un-focused, but we managed to save a few ha.

Bento Boxing

For a late christmas gift I received this adorable Harajuku Lovers bento box from my friend Bre! I'm a sucker for cute packaging and this was no exception. Aside from the clever design the actual cosmetics are quite pigmented; the lip liner was my favourite product mainly because of it's long staying power. Each fragrance is unique, some more floral, others more musky, but at the same time each has a sweetness about them.

$1000 Fit

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I'm still full from the many family dinners and Christmas treats. Just before the Christmas break began our school had our winter formal; everyone worn their best and look marvellous. The night couldn't have been more perfect, it began with photos and dinner, followed by a dance and then a huge after party. My only regret was not snapping photos of the shoes; there were so many adorable pairs!

HBD!

October 25th was Jae's 17th Birthday. Since the matching bracelets were a fail (they broke in like a week) I bought us these rings as part of her gift!

The 64 Pack

Colouring books played a large role in my childhood, I can recall spending hours on end colouring and making "crafts". So you could imagine how happy I was when I came across these two books!

My ma actually picked this one up for me!

Raisin Bag

If I had to pick my number one bag here it is! I purchased this over a year ago and I am still in love with it; it has inter-changeable straps making it a shoulder back, a messenger bag or a backpack which is what I choose to generally use it for. This bag it made by Tommy hilfiger; he design is genius making this the most versatile/ practical bag I own. Not only do I love it for it's shape, I love it for all the memories it reminds me of (cheeeesy).

Of course Hannah made it in here! This was taken last spring thats why it looks nasty out.

This is the shoulder bag I bought thinking I needed change . . . Was I ever wrong. Don't get me wrong I love this bag, but for school I find it inconvenient; it's now my "weekend bag"! Made by BCBGenration. The leather is soft and the light pink colour works surprisingly well with my early fall wardrobe. The small details are what sold me on this bag, particularity the studs.

Childhood Dreams

I have never been a die hard fans of the exibition; don't get me wrong I enjoy rides but something about ex rides being colapsable freaks me out. Once again this year I didn't go, but Nicole (our photographer) did. It sounds bizzare but she always wins the rolly ball game thing, and this year was no exception. She ended up bringing home a pikachu which she generously gave to me! I have been a Pokemon fan since age 5 as has jae. We were both pretty excited, so excited that we decided to feature the ridiculouly larger than life yellow stuffie on the blog!

So this is Nicole, she was being a goof and wouldn't let me post a photo of her with her face looking at the camera. She is our photographer I guess you could say!

Foldable Love

I go through flats like no other and I am always in need of a new pair; they are my go to shoe. I recently picked up my latest pair at the Gap, they are my new favorites! I love the fact that they were made with double padding on the balls and heels makeing them one of the most comfortable flats I have ever purchased. The best part about these shoes is that they are foldable and can conviently be tucked away in a matching pouch and thrown into purse.

I decided on red but there is a huge variety of colours.

Noodles

Summer has been way busier than expected making for a hold on our blogging, but now that most of the chaos has died down we have time for photo shoots and posts galore! We took these photos after a lunch at Norms consisting of our favorite noodle bowls and Vietnamese rolls. By the time our bowls arrived we were so hungry that we ate them with out snapping a photo; next time we swear.
