freedom

I know, I know, where the eff have I been, right? Well, for one, my city and therefore my life has been in complete and utter chaos this week after being hit with a double dose of severe weather conditions and an enormous public transportation strike...all in the middle of exam season. You can read about my encounter in the newspaper http://www.ottawacitizen.com/City+with+double+whammy/1060975/story.html (although I'm cited as Micki). I should also note that public transpo is, like many others, how I get to school, and so of course its been horrendous for students to try and get to school for exams. I finished my last exam yesterday though, so basically that means.....freeeeedom. Ya right. Actually I'll be working all weekend and then...freeeeedom. haha. Today I headed to my dad's for his annual family Christmas party and it was great as usual. I come from a huge family (four sisters, two brothers, three step-brothers, two step-sisters, you get the point), and so Christmas is always really nice since we can all come together and enjoy the season. Plus, my dad and my stepmom make killer cocktails. I had no clue what to wear so I opted for my new studded sweater and went the lulu route with my cape and fur collar. Easy as 1-2-3. Ciao babies, I'm still reeling from my back-to-back-to-back all nighters!!!

what I'm wearing:
shoes: go jane
leggings: AA
sweater: asos
cape: urban behaviour
faux fur collar: asos

for the person that asked where my cape is from, its actually a Canadian store, but I've heard H&M is stocked with them and you should try checking out stores like charlotte russe, since they seem to be making their way into the mainstream now. Good luck:)

The stylish/carnal cocktail "Total Black / One bare shoulder" is virulently full of nonchalant gracefulness, AND frankly mesmerizing with your haughty/statuesque mischievousness !!!
