She Teaches Modern Art

The internet is not cooperating. At all. Moving messed things up in that department royally, and now being in Canada doesn't help. Nooo internet on my computer (ie. the one with the pictures on it.), which makes things a bit difficult. Managed to get one (count it- 1! -update- what do you get when I get online at the airport? Moooore pictures, I know you are so pleased) uploaded during my visit (yes, the wireless here takes just that long). So you get one along with my apology. Speaking of wireless, I find is fascinating that some things are so very different in Canada from the States. I mean, we think of Canada as being, in so many ways, an extension of the US. I think that we forget (I mean, i know I do) some of the differences.

So being in Canada gives me way too much time to think. Also, these targeted ads on facebook are frighteningly appropriate- I've got a neon turquoise cupcake and a pile of shoes as the two ad photos right now... must.. not.. click...

Among other things that I have been contemplating here are that
a) I don't even know how to begin stocking a kitchen but

b) a bacon press is DEFINITELY a necessity and

c) while I might do it in a skirt and heels, dammit, stripping a table, painting, and sanding are a helluva lot of fun

and, naturally, other things. Also, my grandma's taken to waking me up pretty much every hour to ask if I'm ok in a concerned voice. It's hard to explain to her that yeah, I'm fine, but I'd be better if she'd stop waking me up. I'm going to have to sleep off this vacation when I get back.

On the other hand, we're bonding over watching movies, drinking tea, knitting, and .. umm.. grocery shopping. We don't talk much because English is tough for her. I mean, we talk, but we can't have deep conversations. Except for marriage. She has basically informed me, in her way, that it's time for me to get married. I need to be taken care of, in her words, and thus need to get married (in fairness, she gave me 2 options- go back to school or get married). This topic has come up a lot lately.
 

Dolce Vita Brown Strappy Boots (Ebay)

Jeggings (Burlington Coat Factory)

INC Tunic (Mustard Seed)

Gold & Turquoise Necklace (Macys - thanks mom!)

Arnette Sunglasses (Sunglass Hut)

Jeggings are all the rage in the Canadian fashion mags right now. I can't tell whether they're really behind the trend or just carrying it on and on, but it makes me happy.

Since I can't post pictures, instead I'm going to mention what I'm craving right now (besides cupcakes, of course.. ):

Rick Owens Leather Jacket

To say I want this so bad I can taste it would be an understatement. I tried on one of his leather jackets in a really similar style while in Florida (worst mistake- never try on something you KNOW you can't buy) and it's been pretty much all I've thought of, sartorially speaking, since. One day, gorgeousness.. one day, you will be mine. I think it would be fair to say that I want every piece this man has ever laid his mastercraft-ful hands on.

Second swoon-worthy item...

                                 

Fullum & Holt Bag

It has been so long since I've crushed on a bag. I love this. Love so hard. Lessee.. if I don't buy anything else for the next 6 months...
