Thanks For The Update, Big Ben...

Summer is almost over and the smell of fall is in the air. I'm a little sad to see the warm weather go but on the other hand, I am looking forward to seeing the fall fashions and bringing out my jeans, knit sweaters and scarves. With every season comes a new chance to reinvent your look or try out something new, and not just with clothes or makeup.

I am currently reading the book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and so far it is pretty interesting. I have been slacking with my summer reading this year and have only read White Oleander by Janet Fitch and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. I usually at LEAST read all four of the Twilight Saga books during the summer plus a few others. But, this year I have been lazy and watched more movies than anything else. Wah-wahhh. Fail. At least I can say I have read almost three now... That's good right?... :(






On Sunday three of my best friends and I traveled down to Toronto to see my favourite band perform at The Molson Amphitheater. It was my third time seeing Incubus live and it was even more amazing than I had remembered. I started to tear up when they opened with Pardon Me. This might come off as melodramatic but it was one of the best experiences of my life thus far. The audience seemed to be mirroring my feelings towards the band because they were the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a concert. Ever. Even Brandon commented on how loud we were singing. The audience cheered with such vigor I thought the whole place was going to rip apart! They put on a great show and it was definitely a highlight of my summer.

This was their set-list:

Pardon Me
Wish You Were Here
Adolescents
Anna Molly
Promises, Promises
If Not Now, When?
Circles
When it Comes
Consequence
Vitamin
In the Company of Wolves
Defiance
Dig
Just a Phase
A Crow Left of the Murder
Drive
Thieves
Nice to Know You

Encore:

Megalomanic
Tomorrow's Food

All-in-all it has been a pretty low key but awesome summer. I have done many things including but not limited to, beach hopping, tanning, pub crawling, reading, movie watching, laughing, concert going, new trend shopping, wedding attending, fingernail painting, restaurant eating, make-up doing, pizza making, boyfriend cuddling, music listening, and many more.

I can't complain about my summer but the thing I can complain about is the ever looming cloud of cold, icy, annoying, can't-seem-to-scrape-you-off-my-windshield-fast-enough thing that is sure to come our way soon enough. But before that happens there's still a lot of cool (pun intended) things up and coming. Including my 25th birthday, Halloween, The Norwood Fair, Thanksgiving, and hopefully a new job opportunity or two as well.

Things are looking up.

Cheers,

Becca

HAUL!

So, I am addicted to www.lookbook.nu, and I recently made some purchases that were inspired by certain looks I have seen on that website.

I am really loving long necklaces at the moment so I decided to go a head and pick some up. I also have been feeling the 60's and 70's trend that has been recurring this summer. I have taken pictures of some of my favourite items bought this past week.
