A little surreal.

This week has gone by so fast it's almost surreal. 

It's Wednesday night and I don't know where the time flew. I didn't really do much of anything this weekend other then to veg out. Went shopping on monday with my gf.  Went to Carrefour Lava [as my gf's auto correct says]. We went early morning around the time the stores were opening. Thank God. By noon we were both ready to kill a few people. 

I swooned. They opened a Vans store in Carrefour Laval. I'll have an easier time getting my favourite Vans. I know there is one downtown and I went once or twice, but their layout was really not conducive in me finding the right shoes. I wonder if there will be a boxing day sale at the Vans store.. Swoon.   I can't explain why I like skater wear, but the past 10 years or so, I wear Vans running shoes and the past 5 years it's been Billabong dresses.  And last summer one of my favourite combo's was the Vans with the hot pink laces, and a Billabong dress with hot pink detail, seen in the scenic photo below.

In August 2013, at the lookout on Mont Royal.

Old Navy had some of my favourite long sleeved cotton tops for $5 a piece. I took 5 home of different colours. The purple, burgundy and hot pink one were v-necks. the Monet blue, and charcoal grey are extra stretchy and scoop neck.

Work has been so busy for me. Usually the week between my interns I have to set up equipment for them.  Anyway I'm realizing many of the systems don't have windows 8.1 on them.  It's quite the task to set them all up.  But trying to make sure each intern has 2 systems available to them fully configured.  Dunno if I will succeed. Maybe they will just have 1 that is and one that isn't that will get rotated out once I have others done.  I have work for weeks, doing it between other tasks.

Summer dresses

Dress season is almost here and I'm ready. Ive added a bunch of new dresses to my wardrobe and recycled a whole bunch of them as well. 

My favorite place to shop for dresses this year has been American Eagle outfitters, and Maison Simons, though not necessarily their Twik house brand, but Billabong, which makes some really neat dresses.  

Though I bet the person at Billablong designing the dresses was seeing an 18-25 year old skater girl wearing it, not someone approaching 50. :) 

I've added photos of my 3 new Billabong dresses in this entry. Only one I purchased today. The other two are from previous shopping trips. 

I did also buy a Twik dress today and so did my eldest. We bought the same dress, hers in a subdued brown, mine in a subdued green. It's sweet we have overlapping tastes. It's also great that we each have our own styles.
