Weekly Favourites

See by Chloé leather keychain. Deborah Lippmann's Some Enchanted Evening, a gift from my mum! ♥ Emerald blouse by Sparkle and Fade | S'well Water Bottle | Deborah Lippmann glitter polish | See by Chloé keychain

Some things from this week. I spoiled myself on Friday before meeting my mum up for lunch by getting this See by Chloé keychain. I didn't even go into The Bay to pick anything up, but was wondering around downtown and I saw it and ahhh the kitten is so beautiful, and I love tapered keychains, even if I only have it for one key, so I got it for myself to replace the Miu Miu keyholder I had lost/mugged/RIP around this time last year.

The S'Well water bottle is some insanely amazing invention. If you know where to find one near you, or are in search of a new beverage bottle, I seriously recommend checking this one out. Normally, I ain't a big advocate of beverage holders (who cares), but this is seriously amazing. I poured hot tea into it yesterday at 5:00pm, and when I woke up at 7:00am this morning my tea was still hot. I kid you not. Science is amazing.

On Saturday, David and I went out to see A Dangerous Method, which, while over priced, was one of the better movies I've seen in a long time at the movie theatre! Sunday we took photos at the Westmount Greenhouse and went to a local café for a late hot chocolate.

Yesterday, I started my first jewelry course. It was three hours - from 7:00 - 10:00pm! So nerve-wracking! I made a really horrible looking star keychain, which I am not going to share because it's seriously horrendous and hangs off my pencil case like a trophy of how long it takes for me to produce shit material, but next week I get to design and make a simple sterling silver ring.

I think - David better not be reading this - I think I'm going to try to make a set of rings for us. Is that cheesy? I always wonder if I'm cheesy. Or creepy. Like taking a photo of him while he's asleep in my bed. That's creepy. That sounds creepy. Especially on the Internet. Damnit, Internet, it looks cute when you see it on Tumblr, but when you do it yourself, it's damn creepy. It was one iPhone picture! Forget I ever said anything. Anyway, on the topic of my creepy affections, January 30th is our 2-year anniversary, and I'd like to make him a ring. Not necessarily that he will wear it, but just as an object of affection, I suppose. I have already planned out what I'd like for it to look like, and I'm extremely excited by the notion. Hopefully it'll come out looking nothing like this shitty keychain I made, especially since I have over a month to make this ring. Cheers to that!

I purchased it at Indigo (Canadian bookstore), but you can buy them online directly from their website too if you don't live in Canada or can't find them!
