Happy Happenings

I apologize for another hiatus.  That was the last one, I promise.  Sometimes it is good to just take a break from life, plus I didn’t have my camera for about a month so that made blogging slightly difficult.  I took a well deserved mini vacation visiting my family, lounging at the beach and spending time with old friends.  Now I feel rejuvenated and ready to start my new internship at the Fashion Exchange tomorrow, I have never been this excited about a job!  Here are a few things that are making me happy at the moment.

Switching Interests

I am not sure if anyone else is feeling the same way as me, but I have lost interest in Pinterest.  It may be the fact that I have been far too busy to even open my computer (hence why I haven’t posted in awhile).  But I think the main reason is because I have recently discovered Instagram! I know it has been around for quite some time, but for us Android users, it has only been a couple of months.  The creative, one of a kind photos that people post draws my attention far more than searching through dozens of repined pictures of internet memes, 10 minute exercise routines and “Keep Calm” posters.

Art World Expo

I was given the exciting opportunity, (thanks to my new job that has been so good to me so far!) to attend the Art World Expo at Telus Science World.  A few weeks back, my boyfriend and I filled our brains with fun scientific facts, competed in wheelchair races and built castles out of Lego while at Science World, but Friday night was a completely different experience.  The place was jam packed with over 80 artists showing and selling their brilliant and unique designs, and if that isn’t enough for you there was a fashion show (put on by my wonderful work!), a body painting competition and a live performance from Bif Naked.  I had a great time connecting and networking with all the wonderful people!  Here are a few of my favourite pieces from the night.

The best way to spend a beautiful spring day is with friends, exploring the cities many shopping districts.  Yesterday was one of those days spent with Krysta and Chelsea and filled with shopping on Main Street and in Gastown, as well as lunch in North Vancouver.  The weather was slightly too cold for shorts and too muggy for pants so my maxi skirt was the perfect peice.



Happy Happenings

Spring always seems to be the most hectic time in my life; luckily, this year I did not spend it studying for finals. With getting settled in to my apartment, starting my new job, my birthday and my brother’s wedding, the past month has flown by and I have had no time to relax.  I had to give up my Eco-Fashion Week pass, which was really upsetting.  Finally things have died down and this weekend, I got my first chance to spend some time snooping through the flea market and thrift stores with my boyfriend.
