Possibly one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Who doesn’t need a mini-dose of joy?

It seems about every six months or so I go through a wardrobe crisis. I cannot stand any of the clothes I own, and I usually leave the house resembling a bag lady. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m nearing 30, but I’m finding it increasingly hard to find clothes that I like. On top of that, it seems anything I like is WAY too expensive. Regardless, tonight I found a bunch of things I want at, of all places, Urban Outfitters. Below is my list of currently coveted items:

Silence and Noise Pleated Tulip Skirt

BDG Pocket Racerback (I want one in every colour!)

BDG Pleated Frock

Silence and Noise Stitch Detail Cocoon Cardigan

Levi’s 421 Skinny Jean

Sweet Life by Dolce Vita Lace-Up Sandal

For the past 3 weeks, any free time I’ve had I’ve spent getting crafty. Craft of choice? Embroidery. I decided my subject would be my favourite four-letter word, which I’m sure is quite clear after the first letter. I designed the pattern myself and went at it. It’s my first time, so I’m going kind of slow, but hopefully will be done by Christmas. It’s more than likely going to be a gift for an unknowing family member.

Apologies for being away from my blog for such an extended amount of time.

About two months ago life changed when my boyfriend told me he had cancer. There is no way for me to simply explain how this has changed my life, except that it has in nearly every aspect. Our lives are scheduled around chemo appointments, labs, up days, down days and work. Cancer is something I wish we wouldn’t have had to deal with in our lifetimes, but alas such things you can’t control. Instead I’m focused on the fact that these hardships will allow us to appreciate the happy, sunny days ahead of us even more. I’m so grateful that our paths in life brought us together when it did and that I can be here to help Nathan through the fight he’s battling so courageously. I love him more and more every day.
