Everything's Old In The World Except For The Baby...

Hello!

So as it stands, Christmas is almost here and like an idiot, I've once again forgotten to post. I'm with my family here in New York. I got here Friday and so far it's been a whirlwind. Dinners out with my the fam, afternoons shopping or other holiday like activities not to mention my parents' annual Christmas party which they threw on Saturday and after which I was so exhausted that Kae had to put me to bed like he would Oscar or Marley. To me it just further proves that I have the best big brother ever. You may have thought you did but no, I have him!
Okay, enough gushing for now. I hope you guys are ready for Christmas (or whatever it is you celebrate) and are having a great time.
-Bea

There's A Key On My Piano That I Play For You...

Hi everyone!

So, we're home now and Vancouver is just as beautiful as I remember it. I always like the first couple days home from a holiday, I'm always really grateful that this is my home. Of course I'll miss my family but I just love being in my own house.
The day before our last day in New York was Ben's 28th birthday and to celebrate he and I went out to dinner and had a couple (*cough* a lot *cough*) of drinks. It was really fun and after I'm done here, I'll be posting what I got him this year, so look out for that.
The next night we had a farewell dinner with my family at home. It was a really good time and I shed a few tears (of course). We flew home the next day and had a quiet night at home, unpacking and doing laundry. On the 26th we went and had dinner with Ben's family to celebrate his birthday belatedly. And since then I've just been doing end of summer things... re-organizing our closets and getting ready to go back to work. Ben is flying out to London next week for work for I'll be alone in house for a couple weeks. I don't really mind. The first few weeks of work is always a bit stressful so it's probably safer for Ben if he's out of the country.
Anyway, below is the outfit post you're actually here for. I got a few days this time but not as many as have become the norm around here. Promise to be better in the fall. Look out for Ben's birthday loot post and just generally enjoy your day.

Don't They Love You In Mysterious Ways...

Hi guys!

Man, okay... where to start?... I've been having such a good time just hanging out with the fam and relaxing that this here blog has completely slipped my mind. I've done a lot of shopping this week with mom and Willa but then what else is new? Kae and I took Oscar to see 'Maleficent' on Sunday which was pretty awesome. I'm not ashamed to say that I got a little choked up in parts and also can I just say that Sam Riley is a bit of a babe? I loved him in 'Control' too. Dad finally broke out the projector which took a lot longer to happen then I expected. We watched 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' per Ruby's request the other night... they just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Anyway, as I said, just normal hanging out stuff... oh! Dad is getting some sort of award next friday and mom can't go to the dinner so I volunteered to go with... it's a gala like event so I get to dress up! That's pretty exciting. I'll let you know what I decide to wear when it gets a little closer. Ben and I are going up to Manhattan on the weekend as some friends of our are having a party so... that'll be fun. We'll go in Friday and spend the whole weekend so I'm sure I'll return with an armful of bags. So yeah... Below I have a big back log of outfits for you. I'm also working on something I plan on posting either tonight or tomorrow so keep an eye out for that. Hope you guys are well and enjoying the early summer.
-Bea

The Last Time I Run Away, Well I Hope It Is With You...

Hi there,

Well, Ben finally got back yesterday after having to extended his trip in order to finish up his work. He will now resume his usual between projects routine of moping around the house and annoying me to no end. I'm only kidding, he only annoys me a little.
I am happy to have him home though, the weeks when he's away working are somewhat lonely, especially since we got the new house, it just seems so big without him here. So, that said, on Monday after work, we're going to the animal hospital to pick up a new kitten. I was very reluctant to get one until now because I was really sad when our cat Mysteri died last year. However, we both decided that a new kitty would be a fun experience. I'll post a picture as soon as I can.
For now, I've got a new outfit post for you! I hope you enjoy it!
-Bea

(Ps. Tomorrow, Orla Kiely Spring/Summer 2014 will take London fashion week by storm! So freakin' excited to see what wonders they come up with this time)

(Pps. I also just realized that the last three outfit posts I did all were labeled as August and not September. Yes, I am an English teacher with my masters in Children's Literature. I am also, it seems, a tard. I apologize!)
