The Gibson Roll

I'm really in love with a certain hairstyle right now. It's called the "gibson roll" and it looks so glamourous, and it is so easy to do! I tried it once just to see if I could pull it off (because lets face it, a lot of hair tutorials are not so easy, especially for people who are left handed). It was pretty easy and it can be used for a variety of occasions. I tried it out once and I was paranoid that I looked old and that it made my neck look weird, but I was just being silly. A little suggestion though: keep the hairstyle a little messy, it keeps it modern without looking too matronly. For instructions, head on over to Refinery29!

Music Monday// Paradise

I'm not going to lie,  I was really excited to wake up this morning to hear Coldplay's new single "Paradise" drop this morning.  "Paradise" is from their new album Mylo Xyloto which is debuting on October 24th. Can that date come any sooner? I'm a big fan of this song, it's a new side of Coldplay that fans haven't seen before, its more electronic than their previous work. Listen to the song below:

Dream Shoes

My jaw was literally on the floor when I set my eyes on these beautiful shoes. They need to be in my possession.  These Jeffery Campbell Splendid Heels are amazing. I love the platform heel, the brass tacks, the peep toe...yada yada yada! I found a similar pair at the mall the other day but unfortunately they were the only pair left and were a size too big. I think I will have to save up for them once I graduate and have a job. These heels and a DSLR camera will be on the top of my list of my post-university purchases! <3

Hello September!

Gosh, can you believe that it's September already? It felt like the summer went by in a wink. If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I have a deep love for Autumn, the coloured and crunchy leaves, the crisp air, I'm far too excited for it! The weather right now is starting to get a lot colder and this morning I found myself burying my cold hands into the pockets of my blazer because it was so chilly. I actually wished that I had worn mittens this morning!

In other news, I'm starting my last semester of my undergrad tomorrow and its both exciting and bittersweet. I can't believe that I've been in school for so long. At times, my undergrad felt as if it dragged on so slowly, but at the same time, it went by so fast.

Music Monday// The Middle East

I spent the morning browsing Chapters with one of my friends today and we stopped by Starbucks to pick up some delicious drinks. While I was waiting for my latte, I picked up an iTunes "Pick of the Week" and redeemed my card when I got home. This song is a bit slower than the other songs I have featured on Music Monday, but I instantly fell in love with the song. It seems kind of appropriate, with the change of the seasons and the beginning of a new school year. Let me know what you think of this song, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

ps: Sorry for the terrible formatting of the music video. Blogger has been acting really weird lately!
