I haven't been myself lately.

I went to the bank not once, but twice this week to deposit my pay cheque and only realised it wasn't in my bag when I was at the front of the queue. Normally I achieve errands sans problem and give myself a little pat on the back for being organised and putting the cheque in my handbag in advance. Third time we got lucky though.

This evening, upon waking from my post-work nap (love!) I wasn't in the least bit hungry. Usually I am ravenous after my naps!


These might not seem like much to you, but for me these little exceptions have really spun me out.


I may not be posting much this weekend because my Dad's in town for a whirlwind visit. Hurray!

Daily Outfit: Job training

Not in costume today.


Loving this military jacket that I picked up from the Red Cross the other day.

No, I don't speak Spanish...

but I'll do my best to help you when you speak it to me anyway.


Off to wash my hair. Tonight's concert was a success! I banged those rocks good.

Wednesday Wrap-up

Well well Wednesday. How nice to see you again.

This week was all about planning for my end of year orchestra concerts (awesome!) and planning the next few weeks and months to come. I've been cranking out the usual 35 hour week, and fitting in a social life on top of that.

Saturday night was delicious pumpkin soup at a friend's apartment then a party in an antique store after a bottle of vodka. New friends and new near death experiences (Velib' in heels..)

You say gross? I say nom nom

My days off were otherwise very productive and I crossed a lot off my to-do lists. I also smashed some books (get ready for my literary summary of 2009!)

I really enjoy cooking a nice meal for myself with some music playing. Just moi, home alone, with a novel for company.

Gosh I love being silly.

I've also started my Christmas shopping! By that, I mean: started buying presents for myself.

Gosh things are really great at the moment! I was able to make it to the library during the week so now I have new things to listen to and read. Yes! Hope you're feeling similarly joyous while it's raining outside.

Daily Outfit: Work special

I'm so excited about the uniform I have to wear for work!




The colour scheme even matches my style.

No, my name's not Marie.

New film

Oh France, you've done it again.

Daily Outfit: Cigars and champagne

Riding bikes, sweaty dancefloors, cigars, champagne, sushi and vodka in bed.





Don't mind the chocha shot; I was trying to show you my shoes.

My brain

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. Yknow how it is.

Daily Outfit: For internal use only

An outfit that didn't leave the house and definitely shouldn't be on the internet.

Wednesday Wrap-up

Holy moly! On est mercredi? Déjà???

How time flies when you're having fun. Otherwise known as: how time flies when you're working full time (and aren't used to it at all).

Apart from hanging with the Mouse himself, I attended a wonderful thanksgiving lunch, met some new friends for drinks, enjoyed open-mike night at the PopIn (some serious talent!), tore through more novels, wrote in my diary and rehearsed for my upcoming orchestra concerts. I've received my first pay cheque and think I may spend it on shoes and booze. Pourquoi pas?



Hope you're all having wonderful weeks. There's lots to look forward to this month!
