The Last Straw

Well, this is awkward. o_O O_o Where's all the snow?! Lqtm. I've been asking myself this question for quite awhile now. I literally watched the snow totally melt away in 24 hours. It was a rather balmy 46F / 7C when these photos were taken. The sun even made an appearance briefly before succumbing to the onslaught of grey clouds which ended up bringing intermittent light rain later in the evening.

It felt a lot more like late March / early April than the end of January, let me tell you. It kind of upset me, to be completely honest. I mean, come on, Gaia. Make up your mind! One minute I'm getting frost bite and the next I'm showing off my bare midriff. Haha. Gaia, you've got a lot of explaining to do!

Picture

Well, at any rate, the nice weather couldn't have arrived at a better time as I'm working with my first sponsor since returning to the world of blogging last Fall. The crop top and high waisted leggings are from my sponsor, Tobi. They were kind enough to let me pick out several items, but under the condition that they could choose what I would ultimately receive. I had picked out quite a few cold weather items and some accessories, so I was expecting maybe a sweater or a coat. Turns out, it would have been much too warm for me to wear anything like that. I started sweating as soon as I left the house.

Picture

This weather is effing ridiculous! Clearly, I'm fed up with it and apparently, so are my socks. Haha. They were a parting gift from a dear friend before I moved away to the land of poutine and maple syrup.
I happen to like the additional splash of colour they give the outfit as well as that extra bit of sass. ;D

Needless to say, it was a perfect afternoon for a stroll to get some lunch and a bit of coffee. I ended up getting sprinkled on just a bit along the way and there was a pretty cold wind that decided to make an appearance, so a warm beverage was just what the doctor ordered. :P On the off chance that you like the top and bottom I'm wearing and you want some more details: Both pieces are mediums. They're a bit slinky in texture, soft and stretchy. I think I could have worn a small in either garment, but I decided to size up just in case they shrink a bit after washing. No loose threads. Good quality and really comfy. Feel free to email me or leave me a comment, if you have questions (about anything, really). :D

I also want to thank Tobi for the rad clothes. I really appreciate the opportunity and I'm stoked to style the final mystery garment that I received. I'll see you all, next Wednesday! Have a great weekend! <3

It was so cold, I couldn't feel my face and my fingers were numb, even though I was wearing two pairs of gloves (hence my rather plump digits lqtm). T_T There was a cold advisory and many outdoor events that had been scheduled for that night had been cancelled. So, yeah. It was a serious weather situation.

Picture

Yet, here I am. Outside. Why? >_< Haha. Well, because it was the weekend and I had felt really cooped up in the apartment. I study basically 45 to 50 hours each week. That doesn't leave a whole lot of time for, you know, being outside and all that. Heh. So, when I have the time to spare, I try to take advantage of it. By the time we arrived at our brunch spot (one of my favorite vegan restaurants in town), my eyes hurt. I thought they might pop out or something. Haha. So, of course I ordered the pumpkin hot toddy with the top shelf whiskey, because by Zeus I had f*cking earned it! Should have ordered two! >:P

Picture

At any rate, we had a rad breakfast and then hit up the booze store on the way back for a nice red wine. We had half a pack of some mulled wine mix that I just didn't have the heart to leave behind when we moved. We had given our downstairs neighbors all kinds of food and even gave away a lot of our alcohol (I was quite sad to part with the latter, let me tell you heh), but the mulled wine mix went with us.


Picture

We walked as fast as we could back home and I felt like an ice sculpture by the time we made it inside the apartment. So, when my partner handed me a large steaming mug of mulled wine, it was the best, most delicious, most soothing experience of my life. T_T Haha. It made the whole ordeal worth it. <3
