You're probably sick of them by now, but here are a few more. I can't help it, Montreal is just such a beautiful city! I couldn't help playing with my Analog program with them too, to make them look extra special. I want to paint you a picture: right now I'm sitting in my backyard. It's finally sunny and warm enough to strip down to short-shorts and get my tan on. I also had a lovely morning having a coffee date out with Daddy who was in town! Albeit, I had to wake up super early to see him, but it was worth it. Nothing makes my day start happier than an iced coffee. It's literally my favourite thing in the universe. Literally. *Sidenote* is it weird that when I'm nearing the end of my store-bought coffee drink I immediately dash to my kitchen and make a new batch? I feel as though a normal human being would consume one giant coffee and be satisfied. Nope, not me. Anyway, hope y'all are having a lovely Friday! Now, back to my sketching in the sunshine :)

Travel Instas - Quebec!

Follow @caraallover

I'm back! And I'm surprisingly happier about that than I thought I would be. But I'm very relieved to be back in my own province where I know the language and the street signs. Montreal was beautiful, decent weather, and amazing food (as you can see below). The one thing we didn't anticipate, however, was clouds of students rioting for their tuition fees on every corner. That isn't so bad, but when coupled with riot police, buses upon buses of security, and even a few RCMP, it's not the most "relaxing" atmosphere for a vacation. But we made it out alive, and all I can say is - an experience is an experience, you learn something from every one! We learned you can't predict what will happen no matter how hard you try to control the details. I think we'll wait a little bit before going back ;)

In the meantime, enjoy these cool instagram photos from the trip! :)

La belle ville!

Bonjour mes amies. Je suis tres excite pour travaille au Montreal ce moi-ci! I'm starting to get excited travel jitters for my and Justin's trip to Quebec at the end of the month. I have not been brushing up on my french like I should be. In fact, I'm sure there's about 10 things wrong with the sentence above. Sadly, I've taken french for about 7 or 8 years... Needless to stay, I still love the culture. I'm a big fan of the architecture of a city, that's what makes it unique before you meet the inhabitants. Old Montreal has some of the greatest and prettiest views in the world, according to myself. Justin is bummed that he can't bring his bike with him, since that's his way of sight-seeing. But we'll get lots of walking in instead and that alone will probably make me lose 50 pounds! Sself-proclaimed couch potato doesn't benefit here. And lastly, I don't care if we sleep in everyday, I will not be deprived of delicious lattes that are true to their french name. 

Ps. I didn't take any of these photos...just some light day-dreaming <3

I'm eating mini eggs and blogging...

Follow @caraallover It doesn't get much better than that. Well, we all know that's probably not true but let's pretend because it's all I have. Though I am having a lovely Sunday! I had brunch with a girlfriend at McDonalds (have I swooned about their coffee here yet?) And ran some errands. I picked up this amazing green sunflower skirt you see below for only $20 and I'm in love with it already. I'm also excited because I decided to actually put some effort in to my appearance and went to the salon to get some highlights touched up. YAY for light hair for summer! I'm still trying to decorated my room which is a flippin disaster because I have no means of storage for all the odds and ends I've been bringing home from my dorm. It's a tornado! Lastly, I'm antsy about booking a trip for me and Justin to Montreal. I'd really like to go at the end of April, however I am a planner and he is a "fly by the seat of his pants"-er, so I haven't made much progress in finalizing anything. But it would be funner than the funnest of fun! (that's the chocolate talking, I apologize)
