Alone Time…

Hello Darlings,

In the midst of academic chaos, it is always wonderful to find the time to relax and unwind. Regardless of how much I adore my field of study, it does get overwhelming and frustrating at times. I am sure that every single one of us has been or is in such a situation.I don't have much time on my hands and every day seems to be short on hours, so when it comes to down time I prefer to spend it at home with my family or in the company of my closest friends. It is always wonderful to have a solid support system and those that genuinely care.

However, there are times when one just wants to be alone, in such cases there are a few places/activities that I find myself doing. Since I've received quite a few requests for my favorite "alone-time" activities, I've decided to share my favorite eight...

Last Days of Summer…

Hello Darlings,

For the past month, I've been hopelessly waiting for the arrival of fall and all the beautiful layering pieces that come with it. However, as the last day of summer passed by I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic for those beautiful summer days and breezy dresses. Confusing, I know!

I am not sure if it's my inability to transition or the feeling that I am stuck in a style rut but I am stalling....constantly turning to my daily uniform of jeans, ballerinas and a cashmere. That would also explain my lack of posts which I've been struggling to complete.But no worries darlings, I feel like I have regained my stylistic inspiration...and ready to attack the daily dilemma of "closet full of clothes and nothing to wear" head on :D . It's amazing how much one can philosophize about clothes, and I am not even going to go into the topic of shoes.

But then again, where else is the girl to unleash her absolute guilty pleasure of ranting about all things fashion and beautiful if not on the blog. So shall we...

Because we can make a difference…

Hello Darlings,

In the midst of studying, I constantly remind myself to take the time to relax and indulge just a little. Yesterday, I not only got the opportunity to indulge but to also show my support for Canadian Cancer Society Girls Night In program by spending some much needed quality time with my mom. This amazing program focuses on funding leading-edge research for women's cancers, specifically breast, cervical, ovarian and uterine. Every little bit of support helps, so why not sign up and host your own girls night in or out! It can be as little and intimate as mine or a big fiesta...it is your choice. For more information on the program check out, Girls Night In.

Also for my fellow Torontonias, there's another great way to get involved and save a life by participating in a North York General Hospital's Underwear Affair on August 28. The mission of the Underwear Affair is to bring awareness to down there-ness and to uncover a cure for underfunded below-the-waist cancers. It is not only a great cause but also a great time. Following the 10K/5K walk is an EXPOsed Afterparty. With Love…readers can sign up for The Underwear Affair for only $15! Just enter the following discount code when registering: With Love

Regardless of the cause that you chose to support just remember that every effort courts, so please show that you care and get involved!!! Not only did I have fun expressing my support but I am back with an outfit post and seven steps to stay healthy :)

Sunday Mornings Rituals….

Hello Darlings,

Just wanted to make a quick Sunday morning post and share with you my new linen blazer. I was just grabbing a quick coffee before a walk in the park, so I settled for a comfortable look but with a touch of polish. Sundays are pretty relaxing and I enjoy dressing the part :)

On relaxing Sundays, I usually stay away from make-up and go for a messy bun or a ponytail. No muss...no fuss!I've been studying non-stop this entire weekend which doesn't leave me that much time for priming.It was nice to just unwind with my mom :)

Sans Make-up…

Hello Darlings,

There are times when I just don’t feel like dressing up or wearing make-up and today is the day. This is one of those days when you just want to go au naturale and kick back with those I love most. Today was my casual day sans make-up and just relaxing in comfortable clothing while spending sometime in the park over a cup of coffee.

Although this is not the look I would normally post as there is nothing chic about it! However, I felt the need to share a look that is as much a part of me as sky scraper stilettos or a mini. Sure posting images of yourself with no makeup and wearing all comfortable is nerve wreaking….but what the hell, it feels awesome: P

Why does it take so long to discover Confidence….

As I was trying to achieve perfectly aligned pig-tails…not too high, not too low, not too perky, but just right pig-tails, I was wondering why I wouldn’t do this when I was 16, but I do now that I am 21. Why is it that when you’re in your twenties that you begin to realize at how short life is and that not doing what you want sounds like a pretty silly idea? Yes, pig-tails are a step towards a 16 going on 22 direction, but after years of just feeling intimidated, the feeling of being able to do what you want is quite liberating. The pig-tails are not the moral of the story, I promise : P

I was just wondering about confidence and self-esteem. How come it takes us so long to realize how awesome we really are? All those years wasted feeling totally self-conscious and wanting to be in another body, one that is more “perfect”.
