FIVEFOUR

Wearing thrifted Metallica tee, Urban Behaviour sequined leggings, random jewelry, Steve Madden bag, and Sonia Rykiel for H&M sandals

I don't know about you, but it's been a reaaaaaaaalllly slow week for me. Nearly all of my friends were involved in the school musical (Chicago this year) and in turn were not at school at all. I had to face watching the Pride and Prejudice tele-series (the one with Colin Firth in it, circa 1995!) all in my lonesome, not to mention deal with a few nasty tests, teaching middle school kids photography (my current employment) and of course, another ten year's worth of English assignments--the usual.

At least, there were a few things that cheered me up. One of them being these particular pair of Sonia Rykiel for H&M platform sandals that I got while I was in Toronto. They definitely lifted my spirits--four inches off the ground! ;)

The other things that made my week?

MINNIEMUSE

Ph. by John Orcullo
Normally, 'cute and girly' is not a look I aim for, nor are they common adjectives people would describe me with. However, I thought I'd make an exception with this outfit and photo shoot, featuring Forever 21's latest Minnie Muse Collection. I've always had a place in my heart for Minnie Mouse (hours upon hours spent colouring in her outfits in Disney colouring books as a child) so when the lovely Allie from F21 approached me with the idea of featuring their new Minnie Muse collection, I couldn't refuse!
The shoot itself was a lot of fun. My photography buddy John and I shot it during our lunch break at school with little more than a white background and a massive, blinding ring flash--seriously, I kept seeing flashing purple circles way after the shoot was over! We were trying to recreate the infamous Terry Richardson aesthetic (obv. way less offensive) and we think it turned out pretty darn close. What now Terry?!
Annnnd...Other news this week? If you happen to go to the University of Winnipeg, pick up the latest issue of the Uniter and you might see a familiar face! I've been featured as one of Manitoba's "Top 30 under 30". What a total honour!
