I'm Officially Crying of Excitement

The Rocket Summer is coming to my home city.
I can't explain to you what this means to me...unless you know what it feels like to just let your entire heart out whenever you hear someone's voice sing. Because that's how I feel about Bryce Avary. I wrote about him in another post a little while back, and his band is something I've been passionate about for years. Every single song is like a little connection to my soul and emotions. Relatable, catchy, stunning, perfect, amazing, fantastic, beautiful, and any other good descriptive word you can conjure up is absolutely fitting for the wonders that are this man. This lovely, lovely man. Voice of an angel.

But please please please go listen to his music if you have yet to hear him!! These are a few of my favourites!

And this was the first song I heard by him which made me fall instantly in love.

And now I'm going to go listen to him nonstop until May, which is how long I now have to wait to see him! Sigh. I will barely be able to focus on anything else before that!!

Night!

The Perfect Places of Sleep

Current music: Disney! All of it, just have a flashback and enjoy yourself.

Had a great afternoon with my little sister! Here's the proof!

Too tired to type tonight...so night!
Hope you all had a great weekend, I sure had a lovely birthday filled with smiles!
Oh! And have an even lovelier Valentines Day tomorrow :) I'm already planning my outfit...yikes! It's funny how nervous I get about wearing something just right.

The Love Kick Starts Again

Music of the day:
Some of my friends had been posting links to this artist's website for a couple weeks now, and I finally decided to check it out. Have not turned it off, literally listening to it whenever I get a chance. It's so catchy and well strung together, and puts you in a good mood! The sunshine outside doesn't hurt either :)

Anyway, visit this page and listen to all of it!! You will regret it if you don't!

Ps. Tomorrow is my birthday :) I'm pretty excited to spend the day with my mom, go out for supper with my close group of friends and then go dancing all night! We had a family supper, cake and presents last night because it was the only night we were all free! My brother's girlfriend and I share the same birthday (just 2 years apart) so we always celebrate together. 5 birthdays in a row...crazy how time flies! Here's some cake pictures :)

And now here are some Instagrams to tie you over until the next time I take actual pictures!

And That We Were Nothing

Mmmm I can't turn this song off...la la.

New music:
I just downloaded the Jason Castro self titled album and it's pretty adorable! "Let's Just Fall in Love Again" is my favourite by far, so catchy and happy.

Anyway, one good picture from today really, haha. But a couple of my little sister modeling my clothes (minus the boots, not a big fan of Ugg's!)

Enjoy :)

What a Wicked Game You Play

I wrote a letter today, worked a lot more on my play, and made some special gifts with a pen and paper for some lovely gems in my life. There's something about writing that is just so peaceful to me, sitting in a dimly lit room with some soothing music on...it just doesn't get better!

Music of the day:
Another Gossip Girl soundtrack one for ya! This song relates to a very recent person that was in my life, and it's like every word of this song drips with a little of my sadness of the loss of someone so important. The funny part is that when someone abandons or betrays you, you don't always miss the person as much as that closeness with someone, just being able to have that person on duty for you all the time. But again, my friends and family are the loves of my life, so really? What else could a girl ask for to be happy :)

(Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye ft. Kimbra)

It's my birthday in a week and two days, and I am again...excited beyond words. I'm sort of obsessed with birthdays, I just love the joy that surrounds them! Plus I can be a bit of an attention addict, haha :) I just did a few webcam pictures for today, doing a photo shoot tomorrow so we'll get some good pictures hopefully! This is THE most comfortable bandeau I've ever owned, Forever21 really has the most perfect items!

Frozen and Can't Breath

Posts two days in a row! Stoked :)

I just got back from Beauty and the Beast 3D, can't wait to go again! Everyone that knows me is aware of my serious Disney addiction. Just can't seem to shake it ;) It was like -40 out today...a nice Disney pick-me-up is just what I needed!

Music suggestions of the day:
Anything from the Gossip Girl soundtrack!
It's even better if you're an addict to the show like me, but even if you don't watch GG the music from it is amazing. A lot of it is very beautiful and unique, with some extremely talented musicians. It's all mood music, happy/sad/excited/mellow/excited, it's got a song for every occasion!

Favourite:

I'm sort of doing a repeat of yesterday, but pictures of my massive collection of sunglasses and headbands! I didn't realize how many I had until I laid them all out. And I'm positive I'm missing at least 3 pairs of sunnys, possibly more. My headbands are from when Blair Waldorf wore them all the time in Gossip Girl, and now that she has stopped so have I! I didn't notice what I was doing until someone pointed it out, and now I'm proud of myself for following one of my biggest inspirations for fashion! The last few are just showing the ridiculously small amount of space I have for my clothes, which is over flowing. I'm going to be selling/giving away a lot of them soon :)

Have a great day!

Light Up My World Like Nobody Else

Reading through past blog posts...and majority of them start with my favourite music at the moment, so? Another new music addiction? I think so! The boys of One Direction are like 5 little balls of joy and adorableness. And I know it's predictable of me to like these young cuties, I just can't help it!  They have a great sense of humour, they're cute, they can sing, they have radiant personalities and charm, annddd...did I mention how precious they are? :) Anyway, I've been listening to them a lot lately and their music is catchy, fun and the lyrics make any girls heart melt.
Oh, and the new Black Keys album is honestly amazing, the music is so...I can't think of a word to describe how great it is. Hold on, thesaurus here I come! Words for...perfect? Results: Beyond compare, supreme, out-of-this-world (an actual result, love it), faultless. They all work!

So big news that I completely forgot to share!! I'm writing and directing my very own play in the Potash Corp Saskatoon Fringe Festival this summer! Absolutely ecstatic, I feel like I've really been  pushing forward with theatre this past year and it puts a smile on my face when I think about it. I'm also nervous beyond words, considering I've never written a play before...ha. Oh dear. Cross your fingers for me? Please? :) I've got the entire story line done and am working on the dialogue currently! Character development has always been my favourite part of writing, so writing a play should be right up my alley, at least I hope so haha. We'll see how it goes!

I decided to do something a little different today, as it has been freezing outside and there have been no chances for pictures of me wearing outfits...it's my outfits! Hanging on my door! My two favourites right now are the ones I decided to snap this time, enjoy :) And have a great week!

Love, Hope
xxoo

PS! Christmas and New Years were the loveliest I've had in years, seriously. I love my family, and had a great Christmas with them. Had a week to myself as my parents went off to Ontario on Boxing Day, things got a little crazy and out of hand, but sometimes that's just how I like it! Being busy and having a crazy schedule every day can make time fly, but it sure does bring in some great memories and new adventures. Got to see some of my favourite people who came home for Christmas and there are one or two whom I miss with all my heart <3 Great people, great reunions, great memories...and great food :)

I love these buttons on the back of this amazing H&M lace top :)
