Riding the highs and digging the lows..

My day was full of ups and downs..

I started the day with R making me the most amazing breakfast ever







Curious Kit (kit cat - get it?) came to investigate





We then decided to go for a drive to a jewellery shop in the city I have a gift voucher for (R's dad generously gave to me for my bday).

On the way, the car in front of us hit a duck and didn't bother to stop (grrrr I hate these people) we stopped immediately, picked it up and rushed it to the VET. It was so sad this poor duck was bleeding everywhere and was shaking because it was in shock/scared...we got a call later to say it had been put down because it's wings were broken :( this put me in a sad mood and an angry mood at the stupid idiot that hit it. Why don't people care about animals!? Are you that busy you can't stop for 2 seconds to look after the animal you've hit or better yet break when you see it?!? grrr. Sorry but I care about animals and hate people that don't.

To cheer me up, R bought me (and him) some goodies from the bakery



We ended up going to the jewellery shop later on and I got this gorgeous ring and bangle (what do you think?)



We then went out for mexican, it was soo good!







Now i'm off to play mario kart on the wii with R cause we're nerds lol.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend! :)

The Luck of the Irish

What was intended to be a quiet night last night turned out to be a huge one!

I met up with my friend (who just got back from Ireland) for dinner to catch up. After dinner we decided to go drinking at the irish pub in the city and oh man did we drink haha. We started with shots (1 for me, 2 for her) followed by double vodka redbulls and continued on from there.



Needless to say, we got pretty drunk pretty quickly! haha it was fun though and not at all messy (thank god) we just talked, laughed, danced and had a good time.

We ended up stumbling home at about 4am. Which is very late for lil old me, i'm usually home by midnight at the latest.

What I wore yesterday -







♥ All about eve orson ringer tee
♥ Cue blazer
♥ Jay-jays jeans
♥ Converse sneakers

I pretty much when straight from work to dinner to the pub hehe.

Tonight I'm taking it easy spending the night at home with R, who is cooking us pasta for din dins (yummy!) then we'll prob snuggle up and watch a movie mmm what could be better than that.

The City

I'm not a huge fan of Olivia Palermo, but I've got to give it to the girl, she sure knows how to dress. After watching the most recent episode of 'the city' (love that show!) I couldn't get Olivia's last look out of my head - I love it.

Ladakh Shirt
Modcloth Skirt
Peep Toe Shoes
Urban Outfitters Owl Ring
Emporio Armani Men's Watch
ASOS Rock Chick Wristwear
OPI Big Apple Red Nailpolish

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend :) I'm off to see eclipse tonight, can't wait - bring on a shirtless taylor lautner, I say! haha.
