Bloggers Do It Better: Military Chic

I have been following the Bloggers do it better challenges over the past few months but somehow I always got caught and didn't manage to take part and yes sometimes I didn't have the right outfit put together to participate in the challenge. I enjoy always clicking over and checking out the challenges and seeing how other bloggers are taking it up.

Enough rambling on, I had a rather relaxed day at home working through my assignments and watching random movies.So this time the challenge was Military Chic put up by Pretty Shiny Sparkly and here are the pics of me taking part in the challenge.

Its been raining a lot in Vancouver and there was no better place to have my pictures taken other than the balcony.

Mary Janes'

The whole week I was thinking of wearing m Mary Jane's for church but till Sunday morning I had not decide what I was going to pair the shoes with. Well. this morning I tried my Mary Jane';s with two other outfits and this is what I came up with.         

Temperatures in Vancouver have been dropping down but one can spend a few minutes without the jacket unlike in other parts of Canada.On another note I enjoyed the praise in church today and the sermon was great. Sundays are always days to relax, hang out with friends and just do some of the stuff one cant do on regular days

I enjoyed putting this outfit together

(Shoes kinda slide up when I wear them but they are comfortable)

After a few shots I decided to throw on my jacket.

The Four Agreements-Don Miguel Ruiz

I recently picked up this book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz and was fascinated by the summary. I didn't just leave my fascination there I decided to read through the book and see what it has to offer. In short the book is about realizing some of the stuff in our lives that hinder us from having the joy we all desire in life.

In the book Don has four points that he mainly focuses on that can help change ones life to a life of happiness,giving love to others, embracing and loving life. In the next few weeks I hope to share with you what I read and how it relates to my life.

Don's four points ar

Be impeccable with your word

Don't take anything personally

Don't make assumptions

Always do your best

I know in our daily lives we practice these consciously or subconsciously but I decided to look through my life as I read through this book.

A Secret Getaway

My weekend was filled with so much fun which included chilling,shopping, going out and more celebrations. It was my friend's birthday too.Sometimes you just need to get away, go to some different place, pretty much just some fresh air  and relax from the busy schedule.

The birthday girl already had made plans for the day and I was in for a fun filled night. During the day we were just up and about doing some last minute shopping and catching up. So to start the night out we were going to have dinner and then go for drinks after. We are all different and the way we celebrate our special days and have fun differs. So my friend is not the clubbing time but more of a person who tries out food from different places and recommends a good restaurant whenever possible. This time the restaurant that she picked out was Guu, a Japanese restaurant.

Since it was cold I decided to wear my skinny jeans,heels, black sheer top, a blue top inside and my black leather jacket. This was a simple look altogether. Thanks to my friend for doing my hair I didn't have to worry much about my hair this night.

Unfortunately we arrived there late and waiting time was about 40minutes so we decided to leave and try out some Korean food. I enjoyed the meal, the talks we had. After our dinner we headed out for drinks at two different locations.

Wish my friend many more years to come.
