I hope it will be worth what I give up

We went to see the Virgin Suicides at the free Harbourfront movies on Tuesday, it worked out better than the previous week where Annie Hall was rained out. I had forgotten how much I like that film, I felt like I was in a dream for 2 hours. It made me want to be young and in love...

Speaking of films, I am now officially an employee of the Toronto International Film Festival! I will be a Front of House Assistant at the Scotiabank Theatre so I will pretty much be a glorified volunteer except that I get paid and get a staff pass for all the films! I'm really excited, it makes me feel like all my time here has totally been worth it.

So today I got the new IKEA catalogue in the mail and it got me all excited for when we move to Melbourne and have a fabulous house together. I have an good idea of what I want my room to look like and I want a really cute kitchen to bake cakes and cook delicous meals in. I feel like such a grown up! Life is going to be fantastic when I get back to Australia.

I'm really into Santogold today, its awesome.

Friday Shopping Adventures

Well I'm not doing anything exciting with my life right now, so I can't tell you about any awesome bands or great parties at all! I did go and see Off Minor last weekend at the Hydey and they played really well, even though all of their equipment failed at some point.

I have to buy a ticket for Against Me! this week but I don't know if anyone else is going. I'm trying to convince Laura but it's a slippery slope...

So in the past three days I've watched almost 2 seasons of Six Feet Under and yesterday I went shopping with my mum. She bought me a great silk dress (from Target..!) with an awesome ruffled scoop neckline for work, and a pair of DECORATIVE ANTLERS that I really love. We went into Freedom and had a look at all these great homewares, I almost drooled on a desk. Seriously it's gorgeous.

But on the fashion side of life, I am still hunting for the perfect pair of flat slingbacks. I think slingbacks look good with dresses OR pants, and all my flats stretch after a few wears and fall off while I walk. Slingbacks with an elasticated strap hopefully will avoid this problem!

I found a great pair by MIDAS that I can't find an online photo of, they're oyster coloured leather with three big clear jewels on the front. Cute almond toe too. Nothing beats these though...

Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, about $450 from net-a-porter.

I also am experiencing a crush on a boy, I added him to my myspak (before even talking to him, what am I, 15?) so I could lurk his profile. Good times.

Here are some pictures of things I saw in Freedom yesterday:



I also saw a daybed that was like a huge armchair. I loved it.

So today I plan on actually doing some study in my study week, avoiding the Subway DC sale, watching more Six Feet Under and recovering from this ungodly cold. I may convert a floral dress I opp'd into a skirt though! Wish me sewing luck...
