new-ness.

blazer f21. jeans.oldnavy.boots.topshop

almost 2009.
2008
364 days of life.
what a year!



christmas in canada. move from social work degree to fashion. bf finishing his specialization. internship in new york. new friends. friends having babies. besties travelling the world. many tears. millions of laughs. heatwaves. personal growth. my new love for coffee. re-discovering bikram. accumulating more shoes than i thought was possible. spring & fall 08 runway shoes. giving + sharing.
sex&thecitymovie. countless HOURS spent on style.com. reading a collection of amazing & life changing books. spending $$$ on hundreds of magazines. home improvements. diy's. spring cleaning 75% of my closet. music that followed me through each and every day. THIS blog & so much more...

so much to be thankful for...and so much to look forward to.

well it is FREEZING outside. so all my pictures have to be taken before I bundle up like a mad woman!
my girlfriends have been coming and going, so i think i have been on over a dozen coffee dates within the past few days. so bitter. sweet.

I braved the elements and wore my topshop booties out.
they are INSANELY high with the added platform on the sole, but surprisingly very stable.
maybe it helps that i used to dance on pointe shoes for ballet ?

wishing everyone a happy + safe next few days.
2009 here we come...

Hey you cheeseball

Internship! Woah, is that why you're off to new york during fashion week? Interesting! :D Oh sounds like fun!

I love the boots. They look insanely difficult to walk in. I can't even imagine, especially because of the weather over there. But you know, a fashionista like you can pull of some magic! Got some tricks up in your sleeves huh? Or that dancing really paid off ;)

You are truly amazing Lisa! I'm so glad I've gotten to know you :D Have a splendid new years eve and a splendid 2009!
I wish you the best!

Cheers babe!

Hey you,
Canadian winter's make anything with a heel impossible to wear.... I always get my shoes man to place a rubber bottom on all of the high heeled winter shoes, lol.Just to be safe...lol
I don't know, but I think that there's something really magical about Canadian winters...

As for the New Years.... I wish you a Happy New Year and hope that it brings you unlimited joy and happiness!!!

Kisses.... Happy New Year!!!!

Lisa :)

Been staring at this box for a while now, which only ever happens when I'm left speechless, which is a pretty regular occurance when it comes to you, because your kindness just leaves me speechless again and again!

I've been blessed so much, by you, even in the semi-short time I've known you. Thanks for your friendship, all your kind, encourging words! I've met few people with hearts as warm and big as yours! :)

Blessings to you and your family for the upcoming new year! Oh and did I almost forget to say, gorgeous outfit? Love it, so effortlessly chic, and looks nice and warm too! <3
