High waisted shorts

Hey everyone! 
So today I just went to work and wore my high waisted shorts. 
They were originally high waisted jeans from Urban Outfitters, but I decided to cut them!
I really like the colour of them. They are a really light blue wash. It wasn't difficult to cut at all, but you have to be careful not to cut the back side of the shorts too short, or else it won't cover up your back side as much!
It is nice to wear with light colour tops, like white, baby pink, beige and many more because they are all in the same tone! Wearing it with black is really nice as well because there will be great contrast!

Talk to you soon!

its hump day...

Hey!


So heres what I wore today, just a black maxi dress I made a while back as they are never long enough for me! I added a belt underneath to create a layered look to the dress. I wore a pair of steve madden braided sandals in a cognac colour, and then later on layered a military jacket on top.

I wore this to a workshop I was taking, for sewing. For the past three days I have been learning how to make my own blocks, so I can basically make any pattern I want for myself from scratch which will be fun to do once I have the time and patients!! I also wore it to ikea where I got lots of stuff for university from glasses and utensils to storage and I finally got a quilt!

Summer Playlist

Hey everyone! 
These songs are on my summer playlist! These are the ones that are great to pump you up when you get ready! 
I love this song though it's in french! The Artist is M Pokora and the song is called On est là.
This song is called Stars Come Out (Dillion Francis Remix) by Zedd. I don't tend to listen to this dubstep, beat music, but I really enjoy it!

This song is great! My sister showed me it and it's not as famous as the mainstream music on the radio. The chorus is really catchy! The Artist is GOLDHOUSE and the song is called The Moment.

Olly Murs is one of my favourite artists. He has a mixture of upbeat songs to slow songs. His songs have really nice meanings and the lyrics are really well written. I absolutely love this song. It is one of my favourite songs by him. Its a great song for a rainy day.This song is called This song is about you.
Lakyn Heperi is such a great artist. He is was discovered on The Voice Australia. He does amazing mashups of songs. It's extremely to pick a favourite. I still haven't gotten tired of listening to his music! This  song is the one that had gotten him discovered! It's a mashup of Kids by MGMT and Is this Love by Bob Marley. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. This guy has such greg talent!
The last song that I want to share with you all is by One Direction! I shave supported these guys since they auditioned for X Factor ! These boys are amazing performers and have meaningful songs! I have been to two of their Concerts with Ilona! I love Harry Styles and Ilona loves Louis! All their songs are my favourite but heres one of them! This song is Everything about you
I hope you all like these songs as much as I do! What are your favourite songs right now?

getting ready for uni...

So I move out in less then 2 weeks... and lets just say I'm not very prepared :| 
I was planning on getting an apartment downtown with a friend, but last minute I got a long awaited room in residence which im excited about! I have my own room and bathroom which will be nice, and this way I get to have the real experience!

Today I went shopping to choose a bed spread! I know nothing really that important, but if you think about it, its the centre piece of the room :)
