I love plaid. There's just something about it that screams cozy, comfy and warm. Yet, with a little help it can look effortless and still put together. It’s endless the outfits that float through my mind when I think of wearing plaid, especially a classic color combination like this one. Hello to lumber jack Jess!

recap. 09.16.12.

01. I started a new job this past week. I'm not the greatest when it comes to change and all that but I’ve realized that I need to embrace change and just go with it! I saw this quote the other day, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” ― Neale Donald Walsch and it really changed my outlook on my nerves. Change is pretty uncomfortable, yet. Worth it. I want to get a tattoo in the next little while that says, 'I want adventure... I want uncharted.' I feel before I get this tattoo I really need to embrace that lifestyle. Embrace all that comes my way. 

02. I’m getting totally sidetracked now. I started a new job at a beauty spa type place. So swanky and yet it has a great modern vibe to it. I totally love the staff there and the job itself. That being said I’ve been working since Thursday and won't get a day off till Wednesday. My feet are killing but my pockets will be happy come payday! 

03. I've got some lovely things plan for my couple days off which will all unfold sooner or later.

I hope everyone had a great week.

Sometimes it's really nice to be a girly girl, you know?!

I'm usually one for the leather and lace... and studs instead of grace. alright alright enough with the rhyming. But yes. Usually I go for a 'harder' look, but it's always nice to put on a dress - especially a floral one at that.

For most that know me, I'm not one to dress girly. But I do enjoy getting pretty every so often. 
But know this - come fall I'll be wrapping myself up in boots, my Kenya, scarves and layers… oooohhh babaay. I can’t wait!

my newest purchases. #1

These long time buys were eyeing me for quite some time now... Hmm okay, maybe it was the other way around. Since last year I've wanted a pair of these beautiful should but thought they wouldn't go with what I've got in my wardrobe... but the lust for them was just too great this year and when i saw them in Little Burgundy, I couldn't resist them! They needed to be mine. Hello, go-getter attitude.

Now, for the second pair - these i knew from the beginning that they would be a staple for my fall wardrobe. An essential for all automn outfits. I could see these baby's with every outfit i can think of in my mind. Yup, they're perfect.

Say hello to my new additions to my ever growing wardrobe.

a day in photos. #1

01. On Thursday my friend, Winnie got together yesterday but because her classes ended early this week we had about two hours to kill before the place we wanted to eat were open. So, we went to David's Tea and went a tad crazy on all the different types of tea out there. There was so much to choose from... mmm and I am persuaded by good customer service. 

02. After about an hour of mming and ahing over tea we relaxed for about an hour there and got some well-deserved sushi. onomnom (:

03. We walked over to go get her piercing and on the whim I decided i needed a helix to add to my piercing/tattoo collection! Well worth 35$ if i do say so myself

04. We went back to my place to work on some blog stuff with Winster and found a package waiting me! My three simple bands I’ve been waiting for, for almost a month now!  love love love

That about sums it up. 

Hope you all had a swell day as well.

Jess.
