<br />
Right now there are just too many things happening in my life - most of them incredibly awesome - but they take up my time. And I just don't have the time to devote to blogging. I've lost inspiration, desire and the time needed to think up posts, photograph outfits, and the like.<br />
<br />
I may be back. Who knows. This could be a temporary thing. The fact is I've found love in blogging, and may find it again some day. Just for now, life is getting in the way. And I'm not complaining.<br />
<br />
You can still catch me on Twitter and Instagram though, I can't give those up ;) Plus I'll still be creeping your blogs; I'll never get tired of reading them.. So you'll see me around. I'm not gone for good.<br />
<br />
Until next time.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06994292714843560413noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754194920435909383.post-86904626077754026662014-02-22T19:13:00.003-08:002014-02-22T19:16:03.187-08:00THOUGHTS ON CHANGE.<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The only thing constant in life is change.</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to Google, there are a few people who said this quote. The most common result is François de La Rochefoucauld, so let's just stick with that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
It's one of my favourite quotes. It's a constant reminder that at any moment, things can change. Your life can be different. What you know can become what you knew as you take a step away from a life you set.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I try to remember to...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Never take anything for granted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Always appreciate the people you love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And never be scared to walk a new path.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Life will always present a new path. Often when you least expect it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This quote has inspired thoughts of a second tattoo for a while now. A triangle (delta), representing change. Just a little one, on my ankle. Maybe this summer.</span>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06994292714843560413noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754194920435909383.post-20478744055738623602014-02-17T07:59:00.001-08:002014-02-17T07:59:26.043-08:00RED.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60805979@N07/12591545663/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3759/12591545663_25c8b12b0e_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1392652766024.3162" class="aligncenter" alt="" width="630" height="840"></a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60805979@N07/12591886964/" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/12591886964_51fc9915f3_c.jpg" id="blogsy-1392652766004.0525" class="aligncenter" width="630" height="842" alt=""></a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">So I'm blogging from my iPad.

I'm thinking of taking the next big step of adult life and buying a car.<br />
It's a big step, ladies. But it's becoming a necessary one. Mostly because I can't stand hanging out outside in -40 waiting for the bus. That shit ain't cool.<br />
<br />
So here I am, totally lost and confused, trying to figure out if I should buy a car. There are so many things to consider. Do I want new or used? What model? What brand? What year? What colour? Mostly I've decided I want something cute and small, but from there I'm just about useless.<br />
<br />
I'm going to Google it. Isn't that what you do when you make big decisions?Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06994292714843560413noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754194920435909383.post-37108434462887898252014-01-26T19:27:00.001-08:002014-01-26T19:28:20.710-08:005 MORE REASONS WHY LIVING ALONE IS FAB.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>L</i><i>ook guys, I'm in a blanket fort.</i></div>
<i><br /></i>
Last time I wrote <a href="http://enterkelly.blogspot.ca/2013/06/5-reasons-why-living-alone-is-fab.html">one of these posts</a> was when I was pretty new to being roommate-less.<br />
But now that it's been 8 months, I feel much more educated. I have a slightly refined perspective. More reasons why being roommate-less is awesome.<br />
<br />
1. You can sing along to any song you want. You can quote any movie you're watching. And you don't piss anyone off. Yes, I love doing both those things. No, no one likes hearing other people do either of those things. You definitely don't want to be around when I'm watching Harry Potter or listening to Lorde.<br />
<br />
2. Curry. I can cook with curry. No one is like "eww it stinks". <i>Although, if they said it like that seriously, I might question their taste in everything</i>. Point being, no one gets mad at me for loving Indian and Thai food. Awesome-possum.<br />
<br />
3. The entire shower is mine. Every ledge. Every inch. My shampoo. My conditioner. MY body wash. No cramped space. My face wash doesn't fall off it's spot. There's room for everything in there.<br />
<br />
4. My couch has become a coat-rack. Or a "drop your clothes off here when you're lazy". It's a good thing I don't often have visitors, or they'd have nowhere to sit.<br />
<br />
5. When I'm not putting them on the couch, I can do weird things like hang my clothes on the fridge handle, or from the hanging light, or even from the front door. And it doesn't get in anyone's way but mine. And no one judges me for having an over-flowing closest.<br />
<br />

Let's have another coffee date today, shall we? As you know from past coffee dates, basically I talk about nothing important and take pictures about it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So how is everyone today? What are you enjoying?</div>

My Keurig is my favourite thing. Today it made me a Timothy's Cinnamon Pastry coffee. Add some maple syrup and almond milk and WOW. This thing is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.</div>

To accompany my coffee, I'm eating popcorn. I went to the movies with Marianna yesterday and we got ourselves some specialty popcorn. What you see here is a mix of Chocolate Caramel & Caramel popcorn. I'm very obviously enjoying my leftovers.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNZCRcVtVSu5lCV6Ob2_3qWa0Gfv0sdXlfxMEvsG2FyrlNAL4m2aRkb-Emk_ATy8eBUh81h_-PIvpomOaVQ9tTcFVIqzuoSGgfConVu0XYGDvbHxA0tCleBEvNBNHfL4Avr_KJatzkF8/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNZCRcVtVSu5lCV6Ob2_3qWa0Gfv0sdXlfxMEvsG2FyrlNAL4m2aRkb-Emk_ATy8eBUh81h_-PIvpomOaVQ9tTcFVIqzuoSGgfConVu0XYGDvbHxA0tCleBEvNBNHfL4Avr_KJatzkF8/s1600/4.jpg" /></a></div>

Except I haven't eaten lunch yet. Pictured here: cucumbers, hummus and cranberry bread with peanut butter. Not as exciting as the chocolate caramel popcorn, but I eat this to earn the popcorn. So it is good enough for me!</div>

I've been breaking in a new pair of boots and I think they're out to get me. 2 weeks of wearing them, and all of a sudden my feet start to really hurt. When I walk it hurts - i.e. when the toes bend. So after a few days of comfy shoes and no relief I went to the clinic. Doctor told me that my bone's being stressed, and I need to stay off my feet or it could break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Awesome. </div>

So in the nature of "not walking" ... I limped to an appointment I had a couple blocks away from me downtown this morning. I wore my hair like this. I never ever wear buns in public, so it felt pretty cray to do.</div>

And because the wind has decided to attack the city, my ears were <i>sodamncold</i> and my big scarf helped. I wore it like this to keep warm, and it was fab. Thank you scarf, you have served me well over the years. </div>

Now I'm back home. I just finished making a slow cooker meal and now I'm rocking out to Snow Patrol's <i><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqtQlyFnIig">If there's a rocket tie me to it</a> </i>(my favourite song of theirs...uuughh god it's <i>sooo goooood</i>). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the slow cooker I've got a sort of beef stew, but I definitely didn't follow any recipes so wish me luck. Seriously, I am not a fancy cook. I need it.</div>

My cousins and I drove to Syracuse a couple weekends ago. On the way down we took some roadtrip selfies, stopped at a Dunkin' Donuts (it's got <i style="font-weight: bold;">nothing </i>on Tim Hortons, no offence Dunkin'.), and enjoyed some American drinks. We used to have Mello Yellow, but haven't since I was a kid. It's funny how little things can be so different 2 hours away from me. Then we shopped for the day and ate dinner at Dino BBQ. I got the plate with the "smaller portions" and I still didn't finish it. <i>So much meat oh my godddd</i>. Pulled pork, brisket, ribs - where do you even start? The pulled pork was my favourite, but those mashed potatoes were heavenly and the mac'n'cheese was pretty darn good too.<br />
<br />
As for shopping goes, we all bought a bunch of stuff. I suck and didn't get many pictures, but I'm sure you'll see some of the stuff coming up in outfit photos over the next little while. I bought a couple pairs of real suede Nine West flats, a new pair of Nike runners, some workout gear, a Columbia fleece pull-over, and my babies, these RayBan aviator sunnies.<br />

A couple months back I signed up for Netflix.<br />
Best and worst decision ever.<br />
<br />
Basically I spend my free time binging on movies, documentaries and awesome TV shows. I started watching Suits a couple weeks back, and just finished all the episodes that Netflix had uploaded. The most annoying part? They didn't even upload the entire second season. Just the first 10 episodes. Now what do I do?<br />
<br />
I love Netflix, I really do. But c'mon! Why keep that from me?!<br />
Mostly I just wanna watch guys in suits, not gunna lie...Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06994292714843560413noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754194920435909383.post-83945688701091957292014-01-12T06:14:00.000-08:002014-01-12T06:14:16.575-08:00LIFE LATELY.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Life lately has been made up of the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Family gatherings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Puppy dogs and favourite people</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going out on the town</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of fantastic food and drink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Games upon games of Cards Against Humanity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because my cousin was visiting, this year felt like an extended holiday. I am so grateful for her visit, and it's been a blast spending so much time with the people I love. This was one of the best holidays in years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a great holiday season. Back to the grind of 5-day work weeks and winter blues. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi again. It's been a while. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm used to having posts saved up for busy times, such as the past few weeks. Instead, I blew through my few "back-ups" and now I've got nothing. That's why it's been quiet around here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I've mentioned this before, but it's been hard to get the time to blog as much as I would like to. Now that I'm starting my new job, I'm working minimum 10-hour days. Factor in bus rides and I'm away for 12+ hours a day. When I get home, I just want to veg. I'd like to work blogging back into my schedule, but when it feels like a chore I don't <i>want</i> to make time for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. It'll just be sporadic around here, at least until I figure out the balance that I need in this life. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
2013 is finally over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back, I've accomplished lots this year:<br />
I moved out.<br />
I got a sweet promotion at work.<br />
I took some road trips and saw old friends.<br />
I got my tattoo.<br />
I saw Jimmy Eat World in concert. (super win!)<br />
<br />
How did I <i>feel</i> about this year?<br />
It was fine. But I still feel like something was missing.<br />
Even though I truly did <i>a lot</i>.<br />
Today I sit back and realize I'm grateful for everything I have.<br />
For all the opportunities I've been given.<br />
Because really, this year has been great. And I should see it that way.<br />
<br />
<b>Cheers to 2014. I hope next year brings you joy and peace. </b></div>

<br />
Some stories stay with us forever.<br />
We learn this from a young age, whether it's something we read in a book.<br />
Or a movie we watched and fell in love with.<br />
Or, as we get older, it's a story we've experienced.<br />
Something that's happened in our life.<br />
Something we'll never forget.<br />
<br />
Some stories you wish you could forget, but they just haunt you. After so many years, I wonder if it'll be forever.<br />

Christmas shopping made comfortable.<br />
Yes I took these photos at the mall.<br />
Don't judge me. I got enough judgement taking them.<br />
<br />
So... who still needs to buy Christmas gifts??<br />

<br />
This is pretty much a repeat outfit from last year with different shoes and a different scarf.<br />
What can I say, it's a favourite. It's simple. It's cozy with a bit of cute. It's the perfect way to keep warm.<br />

<b>FESTIVITY #1: DATE NIGHT</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A girlfriend & I had a Christmas date night a couple weekends ago. It was fantastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went to <a href="http://www.townlovesyou.ca/">town.</a> in Ottawa, and got the ricotta stuffed meatballs and rosemary potatoes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically the most heavenly thing I'd eaten in months. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paired with a couple Townie cocktails each, dinner was fantastic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So was the show. We got placed at the chef's bar, so we got to watch the food being prepped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was fun guessing what everything was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The care that goes into each plate? Man. Fascinating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>FESTIVITY #2: WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had our workplace Christmas party at the War Museum last weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was such an awesome venue - I was really excited when we got to pose with the tanks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, this dress was a huge hit and got many compliments. Thank you, <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a good night. We were dancing on chairs. It was <i>that good.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also it was a mini celebration for me... I got the promotion that I was working for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for your luck everyone! It definitely worked!!!</div>
<div>

Just clearing out the old photos. Making way for some of the new ones.<br />
Right now I'm missing the days when there wasn't snow on the ground. And my legs weren't frost-bitten from waiting for the bus and walking the few blocks home (biiiiiig baby).<br />
<br />

<i>Winners sweater; Dynamite jegging; Forever 21 shoes; Call it Spring scarf</i></div>
<br />
I was on a mission to find high-waisted, indigo jeggings. I hate wearing a belt and I just wanted some pants that required no fuss. With a gift card and cash from my birthday, I was ready to drop some serious $$ on a great pair of designer jeans. Well, I tried a bunch on, and none were quite "right".<br />
<br />
Defeated, I walked into Dynamite and saw these high-waisted pants. I thought to myself, there's no way.... But alas, they were perfect. The real test was how they'd hold up after a few wears.<br />
<br />
Three outfits later and no washing, I can say they STILL hold up above my hips without a belt. Even though they have a generous stretch (giving them that jegging feel), the waist hasn't bagged out. Hallelujah! Now, not sure how these will wash since I haven't tried yet, but for about 1/4 of the price of designer jeans, I'm pretty satisfied so far :)<br />
<br />
Also these shots are a couple weeks old.. It is now a winter wonderland and there's no way my bare ankles would survive!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06994292714843560413noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754194920435909383.post-62547668974431114612013-12-07T10:25:00.002-08:002013-12-07T10:25:51.214-08:00LIFE LATELY.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My life lately has been...<br />
<br />
AN EXPERIMENT<br />
I've always had cystic acne on my chin. It's been mild, maybe 1-3 zits at a time. Until about 5 months ago when it was basically an explosion on my face. I had 15 at one point. I have no idea what caused it. Very little had changed in terms of my diet, product use, stress, etc.. According to the internets, acne in this area of the chin is hormonal. For the last 5 months I've made some lifestyle changes to try and figure it out. I've gone basically dairy-free, which has resulted in much lusting over ANYTHING cheesy. I've increased my intake of fruits & veggies, and seriously reduced my intake of refined sugar. I've started replacing my beauty products with natural alternatives. I've been keeping up with workouts as well, since they help manage hormone levels. There have been some improvements, but my skin is basically back to where it has always been. Still mild cystic acne, but now with discolouration (battle scars) from the episode.<br />
I'm still working on figuring it out.<br />
<br />
EXHAUSTING<br />
I know we all go through this, but things are just that much harder when you get home from work and it's dark out. Basically motivating yourself is impossible. I only work an 8.5 hour day, but during that entire time I don't turn my brain off. The private sector is go-go-go, and since I'm hourly and can't work overtime, there's a lot of stuff I need to get done. I'm not complaining, I LOVE being busy. It's why I went into the private sector in the first place. I like a challenge. But recently it's fried my brain and when I get home, all I want to do is snuggle into my bed with Netflix. The lack of sun and a fresh blanket of snow isn't helping, either.<br />
<br />
REWARDING<br />
With all this craziness at work, some opportunities have come up. I've been working hard for something, and it looks like Monday will be the "make it or break it" day. Wish me luck, because my success with this basically decides my future. Dun dun dunnnn.<br />
<br />
EXCITING<br />
My <a href="http://lineandree.dk/">cousin from Denmark</a> is coming to Canada for Christmas!!! I haven't seen her in TWO years! I am so incredibly excited to spend a few weeks with her. Although I have a grown-up job now, I was able to swing a day off so I can cram in some serious family time and cousin lovin' (<i>not in a weird way, you weirdos</i>). Can't wait to see you, Line!<br />

Colour? Nahh. But that beautiful, heathered grey? Yes. I'm lusting for that. I don't know if it's the cool weather, or just a shift in my preferences, but I keep reaching for those dark neutrals. Here are some favourite outfits I found on Pinterest:<br />

c/o <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/">eShakti</a> dress</div>
<br />
It's that time of year again. Lovely ladies everywhere are looking for that perfect holiday dress. Whether you've got a Christmas party, New Years party, or even just a family get together, a beautiful dress is a must.<br />
<br />
When eShakti contacted me to review one of their products, I chose this dress with my work's Christmas party in mind. I had gotten another dress from H&M, but I didn't think it'd be fancy enough, so I returned it. This? I can work with this...<br />
<br />
The best thing about <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx">eShakti</a> is you can customize. For this dress, I removed the pockets because I didn't want anymore fabric added to my hips. I also customized the length by choosing "above the knee". Technically, I would consider this knee-length. I expected about an inch or two shorter, but it's still pretty as it is. And it's better to be too long than too short, since it's for a work function.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I'm totally excited to style this for my work party! The lace overlay is SO delicate and the hemline is gorgeous. I encourage you to stop by eShakti to check out <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/Products/dresses">their dresses</a> because today the entire site is 35% off! That's a mega deal.<br />
<br />
Happy weekend to everyone!<br />
