1st Day

While today was my first day of school, and my first day of high school, it wasnt that interesting. Basically, for 2 hours we sat in our home rooms and learned the rules and regulations again. I did see some friends that I hadn't seen over the summer, which was great but bittersweet in that our reunion was cut short by our being required to go to our homerooms. For 2 hours. To hear about the missed assignment policy and other excellent useful information. I think the most exciting part was getting ready for school after 2 monthes of sleeping in. It was also my sister's first day of junior high, (Here the school goes 7-9,10-12) and my older sister's first day of classes at College of the North Atlantic. I, of course, creeped them like is my regular habit.

And then I handed the camera to my mom for our annual "First Day of School" picture.

Loving the nerd look. :D

I got a few more pictures of my not-so-interesting day, but they're all of people, and now that I think of it, I should probably ask permission to paste their face on here. Not that many people read my blog, but some do and maybe someday more will and someone will go through my archives and creep more creepily than I do. Hmm.. *thinks away*

Hope your year is great,

Michelle : D

Outfit of Yesterday

I have a sort of outfit post from yesterday, when my friends and I went to Jungle Jims and then the park. It was excellent. I did not get photos of my outfit that were intended to show it off, but I did get this:

Tire swings are amazing. Also,

Surprise!

I am now a blondie. Excellent! And I'm not being sarcastic if it seems that way. Can't stay and chat though, I've got school in the morning and I need my sleep!

Outfit of the Day

My mom took my sister and I school shopping on Saturday, which was very fun. Very much fun it was. :D (If you haven't noticed, I like shopping. Lots and lots indeed.)

Cardigan//2nd Hand, Suzy Shier

Shorts//Urban Planet

Cami/ Urban Planet

 Socks//Wally's World

Necklace//Canada's Wonderland :D

Bag//Bentley

That plaid bag is actually a devine lunch bag. Devine because it is pink and plaid and looks nice, lunch bag because plastic grocery bags just don't cut it anymore. :P
And I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm actually kind of scared of fall. Not of school, not of my hectic Grade 10 schedule, but of the fact that Newfoundland gets chilly; fast. Our winters last a long time, so until the beginning of May there will be snow on the ground. I don't know what I'm going to do... freeze, I guess? Not much of a choice, because I'll shiver wether I'm in snowpants or jeans, anyway. And I'd rather walk to the bus in jeans if I can make the decision. Fortunately our fall is off to a good start, with today having a high of 29 degrees and all (In september!). But the temperature can drop quickly. We've had blizzards in the first week of October. All I can do is keep my hopes up, I suppose! Anyway, here are a few shots from my day. I woke up at 6:30 and got this, which I later edited in picnik because I'm a cheat but it was nice before the editing too. :)
I purged my closet again to make room for new clothes. Unfortunately the closet in my room is actually quite small, and I have to share with my younger sister. I can only hang clothes in it because the floor and the top shelf are covered in junk. Anyways, I thought I needed new jeans. Strangely when I brought them home and counted them all, there were a total of 11 pairs of jeans, a pair of jean capris plus my two pairs of dress pants. And this after I threw out a pair with a large rip in the knee. I wonder why I thought my stock of denim pants was low?

Finally, I'm showing off my lovely lovely purple 25% percent wool sweater from Joe Fresh. I have to be careful with wool because I have really sensitive skin but this sweater hardly itches. :)
Well, Good morning/Night! Perhaps I should get in to the habit of posting during the day instead of at 3:40 am when I can't sleep. Hmm.

Edit: Psst, I have a secret. I'm dying my hair tomorrow! But the secret is I'm not telling you what colour. And bytheway, self, how on earth do I fit 11 pairs of jeans in my closet? Insanity. It must be like Wonderland or something in there.

Seeing as I am awake,

I should do something worthwhile. So you get to enjoy some snaps of my experience in Quebec. :)

I like photographing people more than places and objects. My friends Aaron and Renee. :)

Flea Market Finds

GUESS WHAT GUYS I HAVE 6 FOLLOWERS YEAH : D

Okay, so now that thats over with, I bring you my flea market finds! (And grammar mistakes!)

What's that? You don't remember me telling you about a flea market? Oh, thats right. I told you about it a week ago. I wouldn't expect you to remember it.

*Smacks self* 

And be warned, I am ridiculous and I buy ridiculous things. There were no antique or vintage items to be found.

The Loot (well, part of it) :

First is this necklace.

It's a small mickey mouse clock with those little fake jewels in the ears. Unfortunately the chain burst so I'll have to replace it.

Next is an Eeyore magnet.

He's made from wood and is super cool.

Why yes, I am super ridiculous. Extremely. But I couldn't resist these adorable little pillows because it has duckies and so does my baby blanket and I had feelings of nostalgia (Yay for run-on sentances!). Another plus is that it teaches you how to count. Awesome. (And fragment sentances!)

You must be thinking, "How have you gotten to 2010 without reading Harry Potter? What is wrong with you?" Never fear, fellow HP readers. My sister's copy is falling apart, and I've always been curious as to what happens on page 8. It has an inscription to "Ashley" on the inside cover, but it seems like she never read it because it's in excellent condition. It even includes page 8.

And that's it! Well, not really. I also bought the first season of M.A.S.H. but it mysteriously disappeared. Maybe my mom had something to do with that. Or I left it downstairs.

I also bought 2 raglan t-shirts from Urban Planet, a Student Price Card and 4 Laura Secord  chocolate bars (2 for $3 on sale) which I have happily eaten.  Toffee cruch is the best.

Also, no outfit today because I am in sweat pants and that is unoriginal.

Good night, blog/ HP readers, for I have to get up tomorrow morning for some school shopping!

~Michelle~

Ps. This is my small albeit interesting magnet collection thus far.

The white one says "Canadian Polar Bear in Snow Storm."

My friends laughed at me when I bought it.

Daily Read:

Today I thought I'd share a favourite blogger of mine, who I came across randomly in the comments of another blog. I really love her pretty style and the way she mixes peices that I myself would not think of putting together. So without further ado, I introduce you to: Fashion Teapot!

So perhaps you should check her out. :)

BlogLovin and Outfit of the Day

Thanks to the wonderful Style Heretic for their suggestion, you can now follow my blog with BlogLovin!

Plus: In an attempt to make outfit posts more regular, I set up my camera to pose for, forgetting that the battery was almost completely dead. As a result, my only photo is this one:

I am so cool, I edit my pictures with Picnik.
Outfit details:
Cardigan / Winners (The Canadian equivilent of TJ Maxx) The label says AphOrism.
Tank top / Garage, 2nd hand
Jeans / Either bought new from Stitches, or thrifted. They're a brand of jeans that Stitches carries.
Necklace / gift from a family friend while in Cuba. :D
(unseen) Sneakers / Converse. I lovelovelove my black hi-top converse. I might buy a pair of red low-tops off ebay.

Also today I went to the flea market at my mall and bought a bunch of stuffies that you get to see tomorrow when my battery is charged. :)

*Shout out to Eileen (family friend) who wont see this because she doesn't have internet, but it's the thought that counts.

Oufit of the Day

First off, I'd like to thank the people who recently commented on my posts; you guys are the best! I needed something to get me off my feet, because I felt like nobody bothered to read it and I didn't see the point anymore. I also had to deal with the death of my lovely dog, Jenny, last week. I'm not going to get in to that much, I think. But regardless of my less-than-sunny feelings this past week, the show must go on. Right? Right!

So I actually pulled some outfits together 4 consecutive days in a row (I count outfits as ones that don't involve a shirt and skinny jeans. That's too easy and boring. And repetitive, for me.) but ever the hard worker, I only got pictures of one. I have decided that I need a tripod, as soon as possible. My camera is too big for sitting on railings.

Woah, white. I should not take pictures at night because I have no talent.

And I should bother with my hair in the mornings. And maybe give you the outfit details, too.

Outfit details
Jacket: Second hand
Dress: Stitches

I don't wear shoes, they cause ouchies.

PS.If my Aunt Madge reads this, then Thanks Aunt Madge for contributing to my closet. :D

Edit: Perhaps next time I should use autofocus. Sorry guys.

I'm home! There's something about my bedroom and house that is just so... comfortable. I didn't know how much I missed this place until I was finally back.

Updates

I've borrowed a friends iPhone and have interenet for once. I apparently can't get it on my laptop which is why I havent updated in while. Quebec is gorgeous, but it's also very, very hot. I miss newfoundland. Lots.
Anyhow, friend needs her phone again. Byebye!
