Who doesn't like going on vacation? I mean it's one of the best parts of growing up, planning your own vacations and going to new places. However, I have done neither of these things, I am here in Arizona on the same "vacation" that I always go on. The best thing about this one is my version of vacationing is that I am here with my parents and they spoil me.

Take for instance my new iPad and Blackberry, I was talking at the dinner table how my "old" Q10 keeps powering down so my dad went ahead and ordered me a Q5 in pink off Amazon. I mean, someone give that man a medal! Another great thing I've exploited is my mother's knack for finding thrift shops and down here in Arizona there are shops every 10 yards (because we're in the States.) So I have spent a fair share of time and her money at the SOS, Sally Anne and Lutheran thrift shops pillaging the racks for jackets, skirts, tanks and my favorite; sleepwear. Check it out and we'll see you next year, same time, same place same thrifting!

oh, yes I went shooting at Shooters World

Dionysus Tropical Print Gucci Tote
Dionysus is the god of wine and fertility. He brought one of two symptoms; joy and ecstasy or brutal, blinding rage. Dionysus is a child of Zeus and Semele a mortal being.

 The leather tote with linen lining conjures memories of childhood settled on the couch watching 'The Jungle Book.' Like Dionysus, Mowgli had a traveling companion, Dionysus was said to have crossed the Tigris on the back of a tiger, where Mowgli had Baloo the Bear. Gucci makes the perfect tote for the Disney character in your life.

Going back to school can be terrifying. Especially if it has been a while!
Walking down the hallway to your class, heart pounding, finding your seat and getting comfortable.  One thing that should be on point, is your personal presentation.


Walking into class and having funky B.O and or bad breath shouldn't hold you back. My personal favorite formula for keeping my underarms soft, smooth and odor free is my Baxter of California deodorant. I enjoy the gentle citrus and herbal musk blend, it's also not overpowering. It doesn't leave color or stains on my clothing and I feel fresh all day. For  the fantastic breath, I brush and swish with my Marvis toothpaste and mouthwash. I even own the matching all black toothbrush *cue eye roll.* 
As far as notebooks I like to go all out! I find something from Dollaramma and bling it out! On the inside, I write down three major goals and a few extra things I want to do. Whether it be for the class or personal and finally I tape a TTC token to the inside. You never know when you could need it.

The worst part of vacations are when they end. Yes, I'm coming home, but just in time to catch TOM*FW in Toronto! Yes, I'm excited, more so for the after parties, but nevertheless, the vacation is ending, I had an amazing time. Here are some pics of some fashion finds.
