Keep it stylish
Last year on November 17, my family and I laid my grandpa “Don” to rest at Ft. Snelling Cemetery in Minneapolis, Minnesota – the same city he came into the world in back in 1921.
I had never been to a national graveyard before and to say it was overwhelming would be an understatement.
The graves seemed to be never-ending, and blanket of snow that welcomed us on arrival gave the illusion that maybe they never did.
A girl can dream.
My closet looks nothing like the ones in the magazines, or the above picture for that matter (which is Whitney Port’s closet if you were wondering).
Personally, I would refer to my closet as poorly designed, cramped and a source of mild frustration but also, one of my favourite places.
I love waking up and deciding what I’m going to wear, but seeing as I don’t have a lot of space, I need to make sure I use all items within.
I’ve had one hell of a year!
I would even be so bold as to say that this has been the best year of my life – but over the course of this incredible year, I haven’t exactly treated my body as it deserves to be treated.
From overindulging in edibles to my lack of exercise, the boozy drinks… the many…. many boozy drinks, I ended October feeling that I need to overhaul what’s going into my body.
Well hello…
It’s been about two weeks since I’ve been back in my little corner of the internet, and I’m happy to say not much has changed… yet…
I admit it. I have a habit of frequenting the larger retail stores in the city – H&M, Forever 21, and ZARA are just a few of the stores I shop at regularly. But on occasion, I crave a different kind of experience.
One that doesn’t have me entering a store filled with rows and rows of the same cardigan. A shopping experience that’s more intimate and inviting, allowing me the opportunity to truly find something special; an item that only a few are privy to.
That’s when I head to some of my favourite boutiques in the city, where I’m bound to find something that isn’t being purchased-on-repeat by the masses.
