photos :: peeks from my day

I didn't do a photo an hour but I took a few shots of my day on Monday. I love doing that type of thing every once in a while. Not as structured as taking a photo every hour but still fun.
After Chantilly's visit Ivan & I got kind of hooked on Netflix. Here I am watching Clueless but our favourite thing to watch together is Degrassi Junior High!
Admiring my suitcase makeover in progress. I'm almost finished!
Comfiest Blowfish shoes ever. I am so tempted to keep them as inside shoes/slippers. But then I wouldn't be able to parade around outside with pretty flowery shoes. I'm sure I will wear them outside.
Peek at the wall in front of my desk. I think I might redo it, things are a little close together. I like it for now though.
Nails!
Vlog editing with a side of Mr. Diva Anakin. He left the room shortly after this photo was taken.

Today I had a hair appointment to start lightening my hair again. I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to do that but...I changed my mind. That's allowed, right? I hope you are all having a great day!

    I really want to start lightening my hair... I've never ever done it before and I have always been so curious! X

      I prefer salons for lightening. I get too scared to go lighter on my own after giving myself an accidental mullet.

    i think dark hair makes you look like Snow White... but good luck with the bleaching!

    I love your nails! You look great regardless of hair color. But to be honest, sorry if you don't care to hear it, but I love your hair lighter! I really really do!

    I love Degrassi Junior high! My favorite show ever. And I think that you look awesome in pink hair. It just somehow fits your happy, bright personality. At least that's what I can see from your blog. :)

      Thank you! I feel very much like myself with pink hair. I think it should have been my natural colour.

    I'm diggin' the shoes! I always lean neutral with shoes so they'll be more versatile, but I'm really dying for a pretty patterned pair this spring!

    Absolutely... it is always a lady's prerogative to change her mind. I do it quite often myself... keeps the fellas guessing. Ok... so you mentioned the shoes either stay as inside shoes or they officially will become outside shoes... and the two shall not overlap. As a fellow Canadian does this confirm that the shoes off rule is more prevalent here then compared to the US? Inquiring minds want to know (been many a discussion on this topic over the years). We absolutely have a no shoe rule... it makes me a little nuts if someone tries to come right on in without first slipping off shoes (not to make anyone feel unwelcome... I just can't help myself). So what is the scoop at yours?

      I do sometimes wear shoes inside, actually I am doing it right now! At other people's houses (except my mom's) I always take my shoes off though. My mom wears her shoes inside almost all the time!
      I guess I can't help with the US vs. Canada thing on this one! ha!

      In Finland we never wear shoes inside the house, so it's really weird to see people wearing shoes while lying on the couch or even on the bed in American movies and tv shows. :) Here it's mostly for practical reasons, our floors would be really filthy most of the year if we wore shoes inside because of rainy & snowy weather.

      Ps. Love your blog Elycia, I visit almost daily but comment very rarely, shame on me.

      lol, no help at all. ;-) I am a bit obsessive about this issue I guess... even watch on TV (home buying shows) to see who is and who isn't taking their shoes off. Interesting about Finland... I too find it mildly uncomfortable to see someone laying in bed with dirty ol shoes on.

    Oh my goodness I absolutely love Degrassi Junior High! I started watching it a couple of years ago after my sister-in-law told me she used to watch it in her health class in junior high, I knew I had to check it out! And I love your nails, super cute!

    You are so smart to let someone else do the dirty work for you! I've turned my dyed black hair into a white/yellow/orange disaster-nightmare-shit storm before. *shudders*

    Oh I've been marathoning Buffy on netflix. It really is an addicting site, isn't it?
    I like your nails, they remind me of candy corn, sort-of.
