oh you're so silent natalie...

Yes I have been silent! But thats because my life is a crazy ride right now! Everythings happening all at once and I have never been happier!!
This week was volunteer sign up week for both images and hot docs so I signed up for 5 shifts for images and 7 shifts for hot docs. It is going to be intense. During hot docs, I will be working 9-5 at Rogers, 5:30-10:30 at Bloor Cinema, then seeing a 11:45pm show that same night. Its going to be a whirlwind of film!!! The highlight I suspect, will be Wesley Willis's Joy Ride. Oh yes. The highlight of Image may be the suprise bonus live show featuring none other than JENS LEKMAN!!!

Yes that sweet man is suprising Toronto, and me, as I had no idea he was coming and I even knew his touring schedule for the next few months and I have read the Images book like a thousand times! I totally freaked out about it! He thought he could come to a city I'm in and get by me? No luck Mr. Lekman. I have sent many-a-pleading email to my images lady volunteering my time to work at the show, even though I already bought a ticket, anything to get in Jens' good books!! I am beyond excited, I was feeling light headed all day today...

So now to the wardrobe. I am obviously still in the planning stages because I am poor until Friday the 4th of April but I thought I would update you on what I am going to start with. One of the things the article in Elle told me was that you should start with some good quality underwear. Now I don't know if you know this but I think you do, I don't really enjoy going underwear shopping. My large rack makes it hard for me to find things that fit me and I hate that I have to contemplate going into the fuller figure section because I would not say I am fat. But anyway, I haven't bought any new underwear since I left Australia and I kinda need some. So thats first. And they will be smart choices in underwear, bras in colours and styles that will compliment my new wardrobe. I have also picked out a bag at h&m which I think would go with the clothes I wear now but also fit very well into the new wardrobe. And the next item will be some black jeans, probably the same style as my jeans now, just in black. Some other things on my list include
- a blazer (preferrable black and can be worn either formally in an office situation or casually)
- Cashmere cardigans from the Gap in a variety of candy coloured pastels
- High(ish)waisted shorts (I don't think I can do extreme high waist, again a rack problem, but at least high enough so bending over won't reveal anything)
- Floral blouses, tiny floral print, probably in sheerish fabrics.
- Plain coloured button down shirts, kinda Ralph Lauren style but not as expensive.
- Floral skirt, subtle floral though...

Ok thats all I want to share right now, and I haven't even talked about accessories! But for now I think thats all I want. I'm also planning on buying an interim perfume, something kind of cheap but still nice, to hold me over till my parents come. I want to smell like flowers because I'm really into that right now... So I'm deciding between Maybe Baby by Benefit or Amazing Grace by Philosophy. They smell kind of similar so yeah.

Tonight, Kania and I are going to see Beach House, I am very excited. Tomorrow I have a job interview at a hostel, I hope it goes well because it would be super fun to work at a hostel over summer. I have tried to think up a good outfit that will take me from an interview, then to work at h&m and then to karaoke. While I was thinking about this, I was checking Style Bytes which I just added to our blog list. I have been looking at her blog for a while, she has gotten very glamourous lately and I'm always like shit how does she do it! And then I saw this outfit and realised all I need is a tshirt, a pencil skirt and cute accessories and I have an outfit!

Loves it.
