Not really

Most of the time, I put pictures like this....
old Hot Topic top and  LEI jeans, Blondo boots
And you think, "Isn't it November in Canada? They must be having nice weather over there." Guys, this picture is a lie! Being from a country with bitter winters, I just get sick & tired of seeing myself in jackets all the time . Hence, for the blog, I do this.

This is really what I'm usually wearing as soon as the weather gets cooler:

As bloggers, we have control over what we put out. I choose to blog mostly about superficial things in life and the happy moments, but obviously, life is not always honky-dory. It is not always great weather, happy get-togethers, hauls, favourite clothing items... but for now, I choose to have this blog as my happy corner in the universe:)

I've trying to allow myself a little permission to be more real these days. Because you're right, it's not picture perfect MOST of the time and I don't have enough energy to pretend that it is

I hear you on that. Sometimes you just get so sick of taking pictures in massive coats and boots. It is nice to change it up!

Winter outerwear can be such a drag sometimes. I don't blame you for abandoning it. We've had a crazy warm autumn in NYC and I hope that means we might get a mild winter.

November has been strange for us down here. It feels like all four season depending on the day

You are so right about the blog being a happy place; my blog is my own happy corner too.
Lovely outfit; the boots are so chic.

The grass is always greener on the other side! I am always feeling hot and can never wear jackets or full sleeved tops for that matter because I can't stand the weather in India. However I totally agree with you about everything not being awesome all the time. And I too treat my blog as my happy space :)

I love your boots! And I totally agree with you. I have my blog to write and show whatever I enjoy, so even if life is not always fantastic, at least I always have control over my blog.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
