After reading so many blog posts about H&M's new collaboration collection with Lavin and coming across these campaign shots of the pieces, I had to share these photographs. At first, I was sortof impressed with the collaboration collection, but this past weekend while I was back in Toronto, I went to the H&M location at the Toronto Eaton Centre to find these interesting pieces and soon enough realized it was from the Lavin collection. The structure of the dresses really are fabulous, definitely something I would pick out. However, not quite sure how I feel about the material when it's actually on your body. The overall "look" of the pieces are gorgeous as it's not to my surprise that it seems as though many others are longing for the yellow one shoulder ruffled dress and the floral dress. Not quite sure how I feel about the prices for the quality you're receiving, but after looking at the entire collection... it's hard to resist. I'm in love with the white skirt, the floral dress, the pink dress... but not in love with the prices.

With every little thing

Finally back in Markham after such a long month in Hamilton. Parents came to pick me up and little did I know I was being kidnapped to Niagara Falls to accompany their mini shopping trip. They arrived to pick me up a little late so I had to cure my boredom by snapping shots of "Domokun" in my room with my DSLR. So lame haha.

Aside from that, it feels really good to be back home especially after an entire month. This weekend I'm hoping to accomplish three major tasks due next week (study for my midterm exam, finish my paper, and prepare for my presentation.) This immediate cals for a Starbucks study session.

After being cooped up in Hamilton for a month, I feel the need to do something out of the ordinary. In this case, it would probably just call for having a nice dinner and relaxing with good company. Doing anything other than that would probably exhaust me even more. Cold November days like these lure me into spending my days with warm cups of tea and cuddling between my blankets and not to mention finding every little excuse just to be able to be indoors. Nonetheless, I'm really crossing my fingers and hoping that if I have time this weekend or the next time I'm back in town, I'd love give a couple of restaurants a try that I've heard good things about (mainly Japanese and Italian restaurants). Although I'm dying to go back to GUU for their "Ultra Creamy Almond Tofu" dessert, I doubt that there would be enough time since the line-up is insane before you actually get seated (hopefully I can go back after final exams).

Side note: For the past couple of months, I've been wanting to purchase a digital camera for myself so that it's easier to carry around. Not quite sure which one to purchase though. I'll probably end up with a Canon. Any suggestions?

Couldn’t figure out my purpose till the sky changed scenes

This past weekend was an extraordinary long weekend because normally I wouldn't go out three nights in a row because I physically cannot handle the pain in my feet (hence the enormous amounts of blisters on my poor feet). Even though I wasn't too enthusiastic about going out the entire weekend, I saw numerous costumes that caught my attention at first glance. I noticed that there was a fair amount of people who dressed up as Lady Gaga and Avatar this year - not quite sure how I feel about the Avatar costume just yet. On Thursday I attempted to dress up as a S.W.A.T member with the other girls in CASS for a Halloween event. Friday and Saturday night, I was suited up as Wonderwoman (my initial costume plan).

One of my girlfriends came up to Hamilton for Saturday for a night out and just for the sake of finally visiting this sketchy town. Her presence reminded me much of home and how much I miss it right now (I haven't been home in almost a month). Hamilton is definitely not the nicest city but if you search, you can really see what it has to offer (that was just... slightly cheesy, oops *blushes). After a night of being Wonder woman and my girlfriend dressed up as a nerd, we went for an anticipated tour around my university's campus. She also accompanied me while I was in desperate need of grocery shopping. I still don't quite understand why she insisted on buying a batch of Bananas to luggage back to Toronto haha <3. Regardless of that, I'm glad she came for a visit and I'm extremely excited to go home next weekend to see my family and feast on some good food (Korean, Japanese, and some delicious dessert to satisfy my cravings? I think so). Overall, I had a relaxing weekend but there is much guilt inside of me for only being productive for less than five hours this entire weekend. Oh well, this weekend was a much deserved break from the last three weeks that consisted of overwhelming work from school. Heard it was  pouring with snow already back home... not sure how I feel about that because the coldness surely does not compensate for how pretty the snow looks
