THE MIDI SKIRT

Worked for 10 hours straight today and I am seriously tired I cannot function. I am so busy that I don't get to sit in front of my computer anymore for a long time (like I used to). I am so tired that I am in bed by 10 (the other day, it was 8!). I have a lot of things to attend to like emails, comments, PMs, mentions, text messages, etc. and I must admit I am the worst friend right now and a terrible blogger. Good thing I have backlog photo outfits to post because I seriously have no time this week to take even one single outfit shot.

This post is actually a continuation of my last entry. This was taken early Sunday morning after eating hearty mini bagels, waffle; drinking apple juice and hot coffee with Dee. I was too lazy to do anything with my hair and so I just kept it up ala-Chicmuse. I feel so Asian (a bit of goth too which is not what I am trying to pull off in any way whatsoever) when I put my hair up like this (add to that the really red lips). While doing the shot, I had to multi-task by boiling some water for the tuna pasta lunch that I will serve to my lovely friend. I swear...I've cooked so much for Dee than I did with my previous boyfriends. No wonder our relationship is stronger. LOL ;) Eat and run she did. I was left alone, took a nap, had dinner and watched one of my fave movies of all-time, Chocolat :)

Tomorrow marks the first day of April and for the first time in months, I can actually see our patio again. The sun is shinning, the weather's warm, I can wear leggings and a leather jacket. I know that midi skirts are big this spring and although what I am wearing is actually a maxi dress, I did my own nip and tucking to make it look like a midi skirt....yes? :)

P.S.

This is the 1st floor of the house but I always take photos here so this is nothing new. Come back this weekend and I'll be posting some photos of my modest room...cos you asked for it! :)

Length retention Fall 2010 - Winter 2011

Throughout the cold seasons I try to do as much as I can to retain length. Since I dislike cold weather so much this is the best time of the year to keep my hair up and protected. When its cold I need to be able to throw on hats and coats without worrying about my hair.

I started here:

Line 3

And now I am here:

Line 6.5

From line 3 - line 6.5, not bad; each line is 1 inch from the previous line. I am really close to 7 and may be at that line but I did not flat iron my hair until it was bone straight. I got results very similar to the previous winter so it looks like I may have discovered a length retention routine that works for me. My secret? Keep it simple. Complicated regimens and numerous treatments may yield good results also, but why put yourself (and wallet) through that stress if you don't need to. To see the steps I followed each week click here: Fall 2010 -W inter 2011 Regimen

There are a few things I would have changed about the regimen:

1. I would have started the scalp moisturizing and massages earlier in the winter, maybe around mid-December.

2. I liked the yarn braids but because it was my first experience with them they were not as great for my length retention as I would have like for them to be - my ends were dry when I removed the braids. I should have focused a lot more attention to moisturizing the portion of the braids that held the ends of my hair.

3. I think I would have benefited from an additional henna treatment. I am noticing that at this point of my healthy hair journey I am moving away from following a strict regimen and trying to do what my hair tells me.

Now that Spring is here (although it's still cold out) it's time to enjoy this length. My goal this Spring/Summer is to actually wear my hair out more. I find myself getting stuck in a protective styling routine because they enable me to only worry about my hair once a week.

BTW, last night I found some fabric paint in my craft room so next time the lines/numbers on my shirt will be a lot easier to see in pics;)

I'VE GOT THE BLUES

Supposed to sleep right after work today but I remembered I have to be a responsible blogger and post a new blog entry. I am exhausted beyond words which is the price you pay when you go out on a Monday night. Spontaneously picked up by Swiss Army who was so excited to have his new GPS (and not get lost around Calgary) and drove by Peter's Drive-In for some good ol' famous milkshake that I have no idea whatsoever until last night. After almost 8 months in this city, all I've memorized are the shopping places. I seriously need a Calgarian who can show me around. Any takers? :)

Moving on, please do not take my title seriously...I do not have the blues. In fact, I am feeling totally the opposite of that. I'm all giddy, happy and excited lately. Look at the outfit and take it literally though.

The house was left to me the whole weekend since everyone went to Banff. I've decided a while back that I'm gonna have ME time all weekend but instead I went shopping at Southcentre with Dee last Friday and got myself these new wedge booties from Spring (last pair + my size = SOLEMATE), oxfords from Steve Madden and a loot from Ardene composed of a new ring and 2 OTK socks as a reward for myself cos im just 5 pounds away from my original weight. WOOT WOOT!!!

I was in my sweats, nibbling on popcorn and watching Mean Girls on TV when my phone rang...It was Dee saying she's coming over and bringing some wine. I thought, "Screw ME time, I always have fun with Dee anyway." A few minutes later, Dee was knocking at my door with a bottle of Astii Martini champagne instead of wine...This calls for a celebration! I changed into this outfit and we took turns taking outfit photos. I know you guys always see the 1st floor of the house but now it's time that you see what is upstairs. Not that this house is mine...I live here, yes but I don't own it (I wish!). I popped the champagne after taking photos, prepared some salami, cheese, pita, challah, guacamole, humus and we sat in front of the TV watching The Devil Wears Prada. When the mouse is away and the weather is shitty...staying in with your BFF is your best bet.

What did you do last weekend? ;)
