Breakfast On A Plane

It's the simple things in life we forget
BREAKFAST AT YYC 07.10.09

Ain't No Mountain

in front of Expedition Everest @ Animal Kingdom

As I'm sure you all know, I've just recently gotten back from a family vacation down to Orlando, FL. And right after that, literally the day after, my best friend and I road-tripped it over to the beautiful British Columbia, to hit up the Fairmont Hot Springs as we've been doing every Summer since 2006. Yeah, I'm dark now. Not only have I been on a slight hiatus from the Blog, but from Life itself, too. It's nice to getaway for a while, especially when it's with people you love to be around, but in the end it is just a getaway and you find yourself wanting to come back, no?

Yesterday was my first shift at work since my vacation, and it's funny how you can go almost 2 weeks without working only to come back to the Store and have everything still operate the exact same... retail is retail but it's the people that make the days different. That being said, on a heavier note, currently the atmosphere in the Store is somber and reminiscent; one of our girls that used to work with us got into a car accident this past weekend and has passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to all friends and family affected by this terrible event.

After this week, I'll be starting to work full-time, 5 days a week, 8 hour shifts... meaning less blogging, more money. Oh and by the way, we hit 500+ posts not too long ago! Yay, go me. More milestones that are happening in my Life? Um, my iPhone randomly broke, so I'm heading off to buy the 3G today. I guess you could call that a milestone and I guess you could call that an upgrade.

Slowly getting everything back into order... have some "bills" to pay, a million things to post about, new clothes, new toys, I have yet to do my laundry, oh my gosh and Summer is halfway done already.

GGG to Vancity #7: Inexpensive Thrills

tee by AZFN.

I love being caught off guard with simple yet such genius designs such as this oversized pocket just dead-on in the middle of the shirt. It's like it's not supposed to be there yet it is perfectly supposed to be there at the same time. Who better to come up with that than William Anzevino and Richard Florence, the fashion duo known for their juxtaposition? By far one of my favorite (and funnest) pieces I own, and also not so surprising to me that it's from the Men's collection but as soon as my boyf saw it he knew I'd think it was sick.

sandals by sam edelman.

There was a section of the store that was dedicated to "last pairs" and after I had already purchased my tee, one of the girls decided (tactically, I'm sure) to ask what size feet I had, and from then on I figured it was destiny that both last pairs were itty bitty size 5's. I'm still totally into the whole tribal idea and from the intricate bead detailing to the real pony hair used on these giada's... the shoe just fit. I apologize for my lame attempt at turning this story into a modern day Cinderalla... but sometimes shopping is just that. Oh and another noteable feature: rear zip in the back? Don't we all love easy access these days.

Ines

Currently my favorite tank top, by Ines (pronounced In-iss). Don't know much about the brand itself (even Google Searching it, nothing comes up) but all I know is that Aritzia has been receiving a good influx of wonderful pieces by them. Also... I'm beginning to be oddly attracted to anything marble/acid wash/tie-dyed.
