Playing Dress Up For Marks

Hi hi! So all of my stressing that I've been doing over my photo shoots this morning so wasn't needed! Turns out styling is a blast. The strangest thing about it, though, is how hard you work to find models and clothes and makeup artists and hair stylists (Thankfully, we were given a photographer.) And on the day of the actual shoot, your job is so small all of a sudden. I found it so amazing to sit back and watch my vision come to life through the artists and the models. When I get a finished product I'll post some photos,  for now I have behind the scenes pictures I've taken during the day. Hope you enjoy them! Until next time, cheers.








Poof!











I graduated last week! I started this blog when I got here and I'm already leaving. This year has gone by quicker than I can even imagine. I don't know where it all went, but it's gone. I'm in the process of writing final exams and August 3rd is my last day of classes with Blanche Macdonald. Keep in touch for some photos from two photo shoots I'm styling for a final exam. That's tomorrow morning and here I am not sleeping. I feel like no matter how much I prepare myself I will never be fully prepared for it. So I suppose it's about time I stop staring at my clothes and start sleeping. I will leave you with some pictures from grad though. And here is where I would normally say "I'm sorry for not writing, I will more often!" But we all know what would happen if I started promising things. So how about we see what tomorrow brings me. Good? Until then, cheers!

Whats in my bag(s)?

Once upon a time I decided I wanted short hair.
Just kidding.
But not really, I just pinned all of my hair up and really liked the outcome. So I took a cute little mirror picture of it. My blouse came from the salvation army. One of the arms ripped so I took them off and made this! My earrings are from Costa Blanca. And my jeans are from H&M. 
Now to the actual point of this post.
I really love to snoop in peoples bags to see what they carry around with them, and I would like to think that I'm not the only one. Now, I have two bags that I use on a regular basis. The blue bag from my recent value village trip, and a beaded clutch I got from Forever 21 a while back.
Read on to snoop through the contents of my shit carriers.

 Notice: Five (Count it) Five! Different lip colours. I prefer to have minimal eye makeup, but I don't want to look like I just quit life that morning. 
Marc by Marc Jacobs sunnies were a gift from my boyfriend. The coach wallet thingy holds my transit pass, debit, staples card, id and some change. The usb has some of my projects on it. I print things at staples. For those who put two and two together: 10 high fives for you. I have a blue and a black pen. Some people are quite particular about the colour of pen you use. I have deodorant because nine times out of ten I totally forget to put it on in the morning. Vanilla mint flavoured gum. I mostly get the vanilla mint kind because I'm homesick a lot and it reminds me of my dad. The cracked iPod was once a brand new gift to me from my parents, but comes in handy during my 45 minute commute to school. And the blackberry for obvious reasons I hope. Am I on team blackberry? The answer to that question is no. Will I keep using blackberry? Sadly, yes. iPhone just doesn't receive email like blackberry does. My house keys are on a PNE key chain. That's my brothers and I flexing while the two ladies in front of us pee their pants. Last but certainly not least, Burts Bee's lip balm. It's the only one I use other than that soft lips stuff up there. 
Below we have the two bags that typically hold all of this stuff. Sometimes I remind myself of Mary Poppins.
Have a lovely tuesday, all!
