Crunch time

First of all, Happy Easter to everyone!

As this time of the year is crunch time for my fellow university students and I...we are all running on a few hours of sleep every night and tons and tons of caffeine and sugar (yes gummy bears and chocolate truffles for me), which is why I look so dead and can barely keep my eyes open - which can be seen in the following pictures. However, I cannot wait till exams are over. I'm very excited for the summer and have tons of plans!

Yesterday, I had one of my final exams. After a long day and night of studying, I made sure that I dressed comfortably to attend my exam - long tee and leggings. Of course, that is not an excuse to look sloppy! Therefore, I wore my new striped blazer from Zara which is my current obsession (I've been wearing it almost everyday!).




My dbf knows me as someone who absolutely adores leggings, and I do, because they are so comfortable. I remember, once, when we went shopping with his friends, one of his friend wanted to buy a grey knitted dress, and she barely ever wears dresses. Everyone asked her why she was buying that, and she said that she could wear it with leggings. My dbf's reaction was "Oh, then you'll be like Laura!". It's funny how he thinks that it's a "me" thing to wear leggings.
I think it is because he doesn't understand how comfortable they are.



Grey striped Long tee - Bossini, Talula leggings (gotta love black leggings! They make your legs look skinnier and elongate them at the same time!) Zara blazer, scarf (stolen from mom's closet! oops! I mean...borrowed!)


Today was such a beautiful day, I wish I could spend the day outside. Oh how I miss and long for the days for patio meals and afternoon tea. No....today was spent...entirely in my room - essay writing. My mom came into my room a huge amount of times, trying to get me out of my room to go out with her to enjoy the beautiful day, she even offered to treat me to getting our nails done, but no....I did not cave in...so finally, when dinner time came, I needed a break, so my mom and I headed to Rodney's at downtown Toronto for dinner.

I always enjoy the oyster bar at Rodney's, however, since my DBF doesn't like oysters (yes I know, he's missing out BIG time!), I can only go with my parents. Not only do I love the oysters there, but their clams are absolutely delicious as well as their clam chowder. Yum! The night was finished off with the perfectly scrumptious Belgian chocolate mousse - I can't wait to go back again.

My dinner outfit:


This headband was purchased from The Bay at Yorkdale last week. I swear, the products at The Bay is getting better and better. I have been looking at this headband for a few weeks, not only is it girly and fun, it is also SUCH a statement piece. I love everything about it, from the peachy colour to the oversized bow - it practically screams my name! So yes...when I went shopping with my mom and DBF last week....DBF purchased this headband for me which he calls - the present - literally.

Today when he came home before my mom and I headed out, he saw that I was wearing the headband. He patted my head and said "hehehehehe the present! you're a present!" - yes silly I know.

This shirt-dress is really a beach cover-up purchased from the bathing suit store at Bayview Village. I bought it a few weeks ago for my family cruise trip in May. I envision myself wearing this cover-up with stacks of bangles on my arms, a head scarf, sunnies and of course - espadrilles! Oooh I can't wait!

The deep-V neckline is embellished wish crystals and embroideries which just add that instant oomph and glam to the whole coverup. The floral prints of it makes it so summer-y and a little plus is that there are cute little gemstones on some flower petals throughout the piece - talk about adding that little bling!

And of course, once again, I opted for my Zara blazer to pull my outfit together! I don't know if you guys noticed, but once of my fave things about this blazer is the two grey patches on the elbows! Hehe, don't ask me why, but they just make me love the blazer even more!

Anyway, I'm off to watch a movie with my mom to relax for a bit...then it's back to essaying for me!

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
