happy holidays, round two

Thomas works in a kitchen, where there’s absolutely no time off over the holidays; he’s had maybe two days off since mid-December (poor guy!).

To compensate, they wait until just after the holidays to have the staff party for all the restaurants owned by the same chain in the city. Tonight is the night of the party! I’m really excited to go, and I’ve heard rumours that these things usually get pretty wild. I’ll be bringing my camera and will hopefully get tons of great pictures. I’d also like a shot of me and Thomas all gussied up…it doesn’t happen very often!

I went shopping this afternoon to try and find a dress to wear and ended up coming home with that and a blazer for work as well.

I love the simplicity of this dress, and plan to pair it with some silver tights and plum shoes. Add in my big red Matt and Nat purse (as seen here) and I think I’m going to look amazing! Still flip-flopping on the tights…I wanted to buy some from American Apparel but I didn’t head down in that direction today. Correction: I got lazy today.

Anyways. I hope Thomas gets home soon — he still has to go buy/rent a suit to wear tonight! But I don’t think that’ll happen…

Pictures to follow!

project 365

So after posting about potentially doing Project 365 this year, me and my friends Catherine and Zoey committed to doing the project together! It’s difficult to find inspiration and motivation, especially when days can be hectic and trying (as they often seem to be at the time).

As Catherine wrote: “It looks like we’re all going to host our own photos to develop our blogs, but we’re around to encourage each other.”

I’m going to use my brand-spanking-new Nikon D3100 and my BlackBerry to take photos every day, and will try to make them as interesting as possible. In conjunction with my commitment to love myself more this year, if there’s nothing photo-worthy happening in my days (today, for example) then the photo will likely be a self-portrait. I don’t want to take the same picture of myself a half-dozen times, so I’ll have to find interesting ways to do that as well!

Here’s the first photo:

Not the most breathtaking photo I’ve ever taken, but it’s a start! And really, that’s the most important thing. It’s easy for me to get discouraged when I realize that what I produce may not be the most interesting and awesome thing I’ve ever seen (which is also why I’ve been flip-flopping on blogging for so many years) but just coming up with one thing every day seems to be in the realm of possibilities so that has to be my goal.

Check my set on Flickr if you want to keep up with my progress! And definitely look at what Zoey and Catherine are shooting; I know I will be.
