I'm alive!  I'm alive!  It's been a while, and I'm not just talking about my shoes.  Life has been busy lately and blogging took a short-term back seat.  This weekend I'm playing Nurse to my girlfriend who had surgery on Thursday.  We are lying in bed, getting in plenty of movies and started watching Audrina (have you seen it?  I hadn't and am now addicted... sadly there are only seven episodes and we are on the fourth already).  It's pretty gloomy out and the weather is calling for thunderstorms (um, perfect movie watching weather, right?) all weekend.

 

So I must admit I've been kind of crushing on neon colours lately... more specifically neon & grey.  The combo is so fantastic and perfect for summer.  The only problem?  The only neon I own are nail polishes and while those are fun, they aren't exactly the neon-noticability (did I just make up a word?) I'm looking for.  This is mainly the reason I resolved in April to make a skirt... a neon green skirt (okay, it's more like light lime with a hint of neon, but baby steps... baby steps)... which still isn't completed.  Le sigh.

I stopped by my parent's place the other evening and convinced my mom to take my outfit shots for me (she did a good job, 'eh? Yes, I just said 'eh' because that's what we do in Canada).  Despite it looking beautiful out, it was chilly and I had to bribe her with dinner and one free voucher to vacuum her house.  Okay, that's not true.  I didn't have to bribe her but I did have to vacuum. ... Okay, that's not true either, she did it out of the goodness of her own heart.  Aw.  Aren't moms great?

A couple weekends ago I got up earlier than normal, did random stuff around the house, got dressed and went out to get groceries (something I never attempt on a Saturday).  This was before the seven straight days of rain we've had.  Oh sunshine, won't you please come back?  Oh right, and I forgot the cliché blogger tagline: and this is what I wore.
