SEVENTY-ONE/ best of 2013 (albums)
I know what you're thinking, I don't run a ~music~ blog. But like I've said many many times in the past: music is extremely important to me. Many of the albums on this list have received poor reviews and aren't that highly acclaimed. I'm sure a lot of you are going to stare directly at the page and let out a huge sigh or question, out loud, the reasoning behind my choices... so I'll just tell you: these albums mean something to me. They're all pieces of music that I've grown attached to and that I find either speak to me, speak through me or just albums that I've found myself listening to on repeat.

THE 2013 THEORY/ part two
You may remember my post at the start of this year explaining how 2013 would be the best year of my life. I'm not going to pretend like it hasn't fallen short of almost all of my expectations, but I'm not going to wallow in self pity about it either. Truthfully, the only reason this year hasn't been great so far is because I haven't allowed it to be great.
Maybe it's because I'm so negative by nature, maybe it's because I'm in a rut, who knows. I can "blame" it on a million different things but the reality is that only I have the power to change it. I was talking with my friend a few days ago and I briefly mentioned how this year wasn't going how I expected it to go and he just simply told me that the year isn't over yet. That sparked something in me. How could I throw in the towel while there are a few good months left?
So I set another goal for myself. As of September 1st, this year will be reborn. Think of it like a second New Years, if you will. I'm going into the last stretch of this year with nothing but positive thoughts and wishful thinking. I'mhoping going to make every moment count, and when 2014 rolls around, I'll aim to make that year even better.
A few personal goals are: carrying my camera with me more often, updating my blog more often, waking up earlier and eating a proper breakfast, regulating my sleep schedule, getting back into some of my old hobbies (photography and writing), going on new adventures and welcoming new people into my life.
I'll be sure to update you all on my progress.

FIFTY-TWO/ fall wishlist
I'm sitting here writing this in the heat waiting impatiently for fall to come. I absolutely love autumn; there's just something about that crisp chilly air and the brightly coloured leaves. Not to mention the fashions. Fall fashions are by far my favourite. I love layering, dark neutral colours and boots. I'm so happy to see burgundy back on the shelves in full force as it is one of my favourite colours to wear. I have been stalking my favourite online stores ever since they started to debut their fall collections and I can't wait to go on a shopping spree. Here are some key pieces I've been lusting after. A few of these items are a bit of a splurge, but hey this is a ~wish~ list, right?
1. Acid washed skinny jeans from ASOS Curve 2. H&M+ blouse 3. New Look bodycon skirt 4. See by Chloe black booties* 5. MAC lipstick in Dubonnet 6. Forever 21 necklace 7. American Apparel shawl cardigan in "truffle" 8. Marc by Marc Jacobs silver watch* 9. Zara black leather city bag 10. Lulu Guinness red lips bag via ASOS*
* - splurge items
