I've never really loved poetry, but along comes Pinterest with its wonderful ability to share many different things. Recently I came across a poet that I have grown to love. Tyler Knott Gregson's writing sort of has my heart. I don't know how or why, but it just speaks to me.
Here are few favourites from his typewriter series...
And my absolute favourite:
Again with being badass.
Another badass outfit.
I mean c'mon. That first shot?
I could have a weapon in my pocket and you don't even know it.
But I don't. So we're cool.
I wore this for a night out on the town with one of my bffs. 'Twas her birthday.
Not exactly a spring outfit, but that's okay.
At least I wasn't wearing a parka.
The classic trench.
GAP trench; ALDO oxfords; Tommy Hilfiger top; AE jeans
Can you believe I'd wanted a trench for four years and never bit the bullet?
I've decided I need to start investing in key pieces for my wardrobe. Staples. Things I hope to have around for a while.
This Gap trench is my first investment purchase. It wasn't even that expensive, but for someone who refuses to spend more than $50 on a coat, it was out of my comfort zone.
Either way, I am in love with it, and it loves me back. We've got a great relationship and I can't wait to start adding other wonderful key pieces to my wardrobe. Next up: leather tote bag and a good quality pair of sunglasses.
Another coffee date with moi.
Welcome to another instalment of a coffee date with me! Here are some random things going on right now:
My friend and I are doing the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred just for fun. She started and I decided I'd take a break from my usual workout routine and join her. I'm doing day 5 today; only 25 more to go!
This is my favvvvvourite Easter candy: panned eggs. I'm the only person I know who can eat these. They're 100% sugar, but in my opinion better than any mini eggs or eggies on the face of the earth. YUM!
Last coffee date, Kat from A Second Glance asked what I do first thing when I come home from work. This answer is two-fold: 1) go to the gym, on my gym days (every 2nd day). If it's not a gym day, I do 2) this. I blog, read blogs, check Facebook, Twitter. Every social media outlet is checked. Not addicted...kay maybe a bit.
Kat also asked what my favourite smells are. Well, lemme just say any of these: campfire, really good cologne, freshly baked cookies, coffee & leaves/fall.

To counter all the wonderful effects of this 30 day shred, I have 500 lbs of Easter candy to get through. I should be thrilled, except that I still have some Christmas candy left..

Also, I know this is totally old news, and we've all heard the Google Reader thing going on. Just want to say a couple things:
1) You can import all your Google Reader blogs into Bloglovin' using this tutorial.
2) You can follow me by clicking on this fancy schmancy button and I will love you forever. I promise. Forever is a long time...
Spring wishlist.
Just some things that I'm seriously lusting over this spring.
Colour, polka dots, chambray, heck yes.
It's time for me to start seriously budgeting, so everything you see here is just a want right now. :(
Anyone willing to donate to my cause?
Cream and camo.
Joe Fresh knit; AE denim; ALDO camo hat
Don't hog the clearance rack.
I was at my local store that sells Joe Fresh, perusing the clearance rack. It's a pretty darn huge rack. And someone was just standing in the middle, looking at the same thing for a good 5 minutes.
So I move past her to the knits. I pick up this amazing sweater, and she looks over at me. Sees the sweater. Moves over to my rack and starts sifting through to find another one.
I notice she can't find one in the same colour, so she picks up a gray one, clearly annoyed that I found it first.
Because my cream one was a couple sizes too big, I see a second gray in a smaller size and grab it quickly. She's left standing at the clearance rack watching me walk away with the sweater she could have had.
I ended up liking the oversized look, so I stuck with the bigger, cream coloured sweater.
Moral of the story: Don't hog the clearance rack. You might watch someone walk away with something better.
