Miley Cyrus is the new face of Marc Jacobs Spring ’14

You all know I love me some Miley. My girl is the new celebrity face for Marc Jacobs, and it comes with no surprise. Not only because she got naked for the designer on a t-shirt for skin cancer awareness (which I’m still waiting for someone to purchase for me), but Miley has the Marc Jacobs edge down pat. Totally love the ad (especially the red head who probably made a fortune for just laying down in the same position, lucky girl). What do you think of Miley and Marc working together again?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF 2013! If a new year is good for anything, it’s for clearing your mind from the past and start working toward the future. Anything that has happened this past year is irreverent. It’s old news. Time to start living in the moment. One movie you should watch that teaches you this important life lesson it’s “The Spectacular Now.” As much as I would like for life to figure itself out and fall into my lap, I know it’s by living you live more, by waiting, you wait more. At least that’s what I’ve been telling myself. Sutter: It’s fine to live in the now. But the best thing about now is that there’s another one tomorrow. I’m going to start making them count. That’s my last tad of wisdom for the year. I love you all and thank every last one of you from the bottom of my heart for all the messages and comments you leave me that keep me smiling and optimistic. Cheers to the new year …

This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

2013 Reflections Tag

1. What was the most exciting thing that happened to you in 2013?  There are too many to name just one! I graduated university, successfully completed two AMAZING magazines internships, went to New York City to go on job interviews, freelanced for amazing publications (including my own full page beauty spreads), had my own mini segment on CityTV for Toronto fashion week, made a ton of new friends and started playing volleyball again. Wow. I’ve accomplished a lot this year. 2. What was your favourite video you filmed this year?  New York City trip. Hands down, the best time of my entire life.   3. Best YouTube video of 2013?  I wouldn’t say this is the BEST video, but I discovered Superwoman this year and fell in love with her humour. “People from my high school are like, getting engaged. To like, real people. Not, oh I’m going to marry a Backstreet Boy, but actually progressing in life.”   4. What was your favourite new product in 2013?  I chose five. YSL Manifesto Perfume. Stila …

Doing weird shit

I read this paragraph in Frankie Magazine and it made me giggle. Thought you’d enjoy it as well. “We’re all gonna die; might as well do whatever the fuck you want. Remembering what a tiny grain of sand I am always makes me want to take bigger and better risks, even if they are just entertaining to me in the moment. Because seriously, who cares? It’s all about turning tragedy into funny stories that can’t hurt you anymore, and doing weird shit that you can tell your friends about later, and then you get to see them full-on laughing and it makes you really happy.” – Kathleen Hanna

Stresssssssssssed

I’m guilty of being extremely hard on myself…..with everything.  I’m at a point in my life where I’m putting the entire world on my shoulders. Everything has to be exactly how I want it. The right job, the right friends, the right boyfriend, the right clothes, the right food, etc. If it’s not precisely what I want, I don’t have time to deal with it. This is why I’m stressed, depressed but well dressed. I am stressed because I have expectations. I have expectations because I want to be successful. I want to be successful because I want to be able to achieve greatness, travel and dominate the world…..essentially. I have yet to achieve what I expected myself to achieve at 23 and because of that, I am getting upset over the small stuff. For example, this morning I woke up, went downstairs, poured myself some cereal and found out there was no more milk in the milk bag. My immediate thought: “WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?!” I then put a new milk bag in the …

Peppermint Cake Fail

Yesterday my aunt accidentally dropped my brother and cousins birthday cake onto the floor. So, we did what any logical family would do. Refer to the “Cheesecake” episode of Friends and forward video to 1:52. From the leftovers, my cousin picked it up and slapped it on my brother’s face. Happy birthday dear ol’ Justin! This is why my family and I can’t have nice things.
