Back to the Grindstone
Twenty8Twelve leather jacket, Lucca Couture palazzo pants c/o Diverse Group,
T-shirt c/o Jacob, H&M necklace, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, Club Monaco scarf
I guess it’s true that all good things must come to an end. I’m trying to soak in as much “nothingness” as possible on my last day off before heading back to school tomorrow. Matt and I started re-watching Lost from the very beginning a few days ago so that’s pretty much all I’ve been doing all day. I’m a big Lostie so this is pretty much a perfect way to be spending my last few days of relaxation! And that does not mean I’m a huge loser…I just really love the philosophical message behind the series and love how psychologically thrilling it is. Which actually makes me really cool.
And as you can see…no stitches! My NYE was basically issue-free. No ER trips, no DJ tables falling on me, nothing! And I managed to somehow run my 5K Resolution Run in a deep haze and jump into the freezing ocean for the Penguin Plunge the next day. All in all, very proud of myself.
Hope you all you lovelies had an amazing time ringing in 2012 and that your first couple of days back to work/school are relatively painless!
So pretty!!! I need to watch Lost, can you believe I've never seen one episode?!?
I still love these palazzo pants on you just as much as I did the first time you tried them on in Janice's bathroom- they are amazing! It sounds like you're wrapping up your holiday in a wonderfully relaxing way (minus the 5k and penguin plunge, you crazy person.) I'm more of a Big Bang Theory girl than a a Lostie, but I still appreciate the wonders of a good TV marathon – hopefully you'll get through the series before going back to school tomorrow!
xox,
Cee

I don't think anyone could look as good in those pants as you do! Those pants are AWESOME! You took the penguin plunge? You are one brave girl! My toes started freezing just thinking about it..
holy smokes you did a penguin plunge? now THAT'S impressive.
those pants!! Great shots showing them off too. I would say those are pretty much showstoppers.
No judgement there on being a LOSTIE. I never watched the show but I have my other nerdy obsessions myself 😉
That is a cute outfit. I love the jacket and the handbag.
So lucky you can pull off those pants. I can never make it look right on me.
superb look!
I love finding Vancouver bloggers. I am as well. I hope you will follow my blog as well!!

Oh your last days before school sound perfect! I've basically been working all the days in between Christmas and New Year so I'll be on a short holiday all next week-can't wait for some relaxation also for me! It's great to have a favorite tv show! What do you study?
We might have some snow here in Helsinki during the weekend, I'm hoping for that! Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog!

First of all, you look stunning! Second, watching TV all day is the best. I think Lost is the only show I never watched. I watch TV all of the time. It's all I do. Third, I'm glad your NYE wasn't tragic. Fourth, you're nuts for jumping into freezing water 🙂

It's so cool what you wrote about Lost cause I've been meaning to start watching it again with my bf. We're huge lost fans and its impact on us is tremendous! I don't think I'll ever be able to love any other series as much as lost. It's a spiritual experience!!
In terms of your outfit now, what can I say I'm in love with the dark palazzo pants and the golden details. Pure chic and edgy!
i was thrilled to hear you came away from the new year antics unscathed Alex : ) finally some peace aside from the lip incident???? yipes perhaps?
you are an absolute vision, way to knock it outta the park for your 1st post of 2012. you're such a great gal when it comes to proportions. always wearing the perfect lengths, widths, etc to make the look a seamless transition. i adore those DOTS!!!!!!!!!
holy hell, you are a brave and extreme girl for doing the run followed by jumping into the icy waves. i'd have loved to have been there to cheer you on. happy new year wishes love!!! hope school/life balance finds it's way back to you again. xoox ♥
