I could hardly breathe in my Cigarette Girl costume because of the crazy corset but I loved playing this character for a night. Twenties were a stylish period.

I’m back in school now (among palm trees), learning about the parol evidence rule and indemnification actions – titillating stuff 
. These shots were taken in my parent’s backyard during the sweet days of my break. I packed very little with me on my trip home, so I had to put this look together out of some random items found around the house. I call this my “Strictly Bloggy Look.”

The day after I got back from Vegas, I had just enough time to repack my suitcases to catch a flight to Toronto. I found Toronto exactly as I had expected – completely covered in snow, in a state of a beautiful, urban, winter wonderland.

I started doing laundry and organizing my closet and I didn’t stop until it was all done. I wonder how long it will take until I can truly snap out of it and allow myself the luxury of just doing…nothing. Guilt-free nothing!
ready for the check-up
It’s my brother’s birthday today so I spent most of the morning running errands, like buying a cake, drinks, and some last minute essentials for the party. Today’s look is a few days old and I wasn’t sure whether to post it, but since I’ll be busy with my bro for the day, here they are…
