I rocked it.

I have played competitive hockey since I was 6 years old, practice 2- 3 times a week, games 2-3 times a week, weekend tournaments up to 5 games in two days...this went on for 14 years. Seasons typically go from August training begins; this usually consisted of dry land training, weight training and on ice training, then the season begins October and we will not quit until Provincials end in April. This doesn't mean I get the summer off to relax, it simple means I go to try-outs in May for the next season, then soccer and summer hockey camps for the rest of my summer...and don't forget the Volleyball, Basketball, High Jump, Sprinting, Long Distance Running and school hockey team in between all of this...so you ask me, what's my point?...I'm an athlete.

When I finally decided to quit hockey in my early twenties it was one of the hardest moments, it was my passion...my life but I never gave up on my strength, my abilities and my will to want to stay healthy and fit. I continued to run...not just a light jog up the street and back, I was into long distance running, 12k, 13k, 14k....22k? by the end of it, my knees were done...I was injured. The worst possible thing that could have happened to an athlete especially a knee injury. So I slacked off for a year and the best advice I can give someone is do not give up completely because it is harder to get back in shape then it is to stay in shape.

My 30 day challenge is complete!....I rocked it! It was self motivation, self control and my abilities that got me through each and every day. I know throughout this entire challenge I've had support and a lot of questions such as what kind of exercise am I doing...what diet am I on...was this all my idea...? So I'm here to answer all those questions so you can get out there and do it yourself!

My goal: to lose 15lbs and 6% body fat.
My Plan: to work out every day for 30 days and then work out 3-4 days a week after the challenge.
Advice:
get a gym membership...take advantage of the classes!
get a gym partner and do workouts together to push eachother
drink LOTS of water (5-6 bottles of water a day) add lemon for a change!
print out the class schedules and post them in a place where you will look at them everyday
atleast one hour a day....that's it!
buy the women's / men's health magazine training guide...it really works! ($12.99)
keep your goal in mind and remind yourself that it won't happen overnight...but you are on the right track!
try on a pair of shorts or jeans that you don't fit into anymore and every 2 weeks try them on again...see if you feel a difference!
get a pair of sexy stiletto's on when you go out with your girls and dance!!

the world is your runway.

Seasons...they are always changing, from summer to fall...fall to winter...winter to spring and spring to summer, it's constant but never consistent. We have concreate days that notify us that 'summer...fall...winter and spring begin' but in reality it has a mind of it's own, it is unexpected and free.

As the seasons change so does fashion, it follows the pattern of nature, designers set out organized plans, patterns, fabrics designed for us to dress to impress. As much as I believe that fashion is out there to steer us in a direction, a direction known as 'trends' I still strongly believe that fashion is free, independent and unexpected. It gives people an oppurtunity,a choice and a chance to express ourselves in various ways that we may not be able to describe when we first open our mouths to make that ever so,daunting, first impression. The greatest part about fashion is the diversity, it is represented all over the world. The reason I have found such a passion and love for this industry is the fact that no matter where I travel throughout the world Paris, London, Milan, Toyoko, New York, L.A and not to say just the major cities even small towns across the world. I am always inspired by the presence of fashion...Im also shocked by some fashion but that's what I mean by unexpected. It is an art, an emotion and a way to represent not only ourselves but it can also represent a sudden change in life or even the economy. For example, during the Recession women wear mini skirts and bright colours are in every store across North America...coincidence?...I think NOT! You may underestimate the power of fashion or the people within this industry, but we are smart.

"every day is a fashion show & the world is your runway"

I've recently been inspired to really start to consider my options, I'm 23 years old and like I stated, the world is my runway. I would like to make a plan for myself instead of staying within this box I created for myself, I would like to give myself an oppurtunity to travel the world...look at the different seasons of life and see what can come from it. I'am not the typical back packer, I will not venture throughout Europe with my clothes and personal belongings strapped to my back in hopes of seeing it all at once while staying in hostels. Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything wrong with it, I encourage it, but after that movie "Hostel" I only encourage others to do so...I'm entirely way to scared of horror films to do it on my own. I also have my own style of travelling the world...one step at a time, comfortable, effortless and fun; even though the Amazing Race seems like SO much fun, I'm going to have to pass on the million. Don't worry, Im not going to jump on another plane and take off any time soon, I will plan this right and in a timely fashion...even though there is one stop I plan to make sooner than later! I want to enjoy life and what it has to offer me, I don't want to settle for anything less than what I deserve and I would like to continue to gain knowledge from this world and this industry that I have willingly put myself into...because of the love...not because of the money or the status.

I've been labelled 'Holt Renfrew style'; or princess but I still have no idea where that comes from!; so I embrace who I am knowing that I love Toronto, it is a great city to return to and call home, it will always be here. Seasons change, they come and go, they are unexpected, free and in every city around the world, they are ever changing but always the same. On to the next chapter...

how the rich get thin.

you can never be too rich or too thin...or so I hear.

When I moved away from home I lost both of those aspects in my life...I would say the two worst things a girl can lose from their life...forget the ex-boyfriend...I gained weight and lost all my money! Wow, how incredibly...mind my french...STUPID I am to let myself get caught up in the stresses of life.

So I forget the past and start my new journey, the 30 day challenge, sounds scary or some might even say terrifying but to me it's just one major part of my life that I lost for the past 4 months and I want it back!

Today, is day 5, spin class which I can say I happily completed this morning, piece of cake...or extra lean turkey...which fits better because for the next 25 days that is all I will be eating. 'A diet' one of the most petrifying words in the girls dictionary (yes, we have a dictionary, many other words in the dictionary come to mind such as douche bag and asshole but that's another topic for another day) my diet is called the calcium diet, it consists of low fat cheese, fat free plain yogurt, green veggies, extra lean turkey or fish and A LOT OF WATER. It's not so bad, I deserve it after all the partying, eating out daily and days of not exercising. Well those days are behind me and say hello to the Get it Done phase! So let's get'er done, 15lbs in 25 days...isn't so bad after all...right?

We are going bow crazyyy!!

breakeven.

what am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you? Well...that's been a question I've been asking myself for a few months until the day I decided that I've got time...and he's got freedom, so I'll take that time.

"I hear that when the hearts breaks it don't break even..." I can say from experience, that statement is true but who wants to be the person with the lesser half. I can confidently say that I am simply happy, no complications, no stress, no drama, I left that all behind me. I have learned a lot from the experiences, I would never say it was a waste of time, because time isnt for wasting, its only there for us to build moments and live by those moments.

My first thought when I ventured back to my home, was it is all mine, nobody else's, I have space. Space is to seperate or keep apart, it is also this massively big place above us that is totally unknown to us in so many ways, which in both ways kinda sounds like my life. I like the feeling of unknown, the feeling of independence and freedom, I dont want my life to be mapped out, where's the excitement, the suspense...the risk. Unfortunately, the risks I take don't always go in the right direction but I stay positive and always remember that one day it will all be mine...he will always be mine.

So...Hello Toronto! I am back, don't let me down again because this time I may not be able to forgive you. Thank God, Toronto is a Canadian Fashionista's dream city because if it wasn't...it wouldnt be so easy and there is only two things in the world that I can forgive that easily...no explanations needed.

I have many dreams, goals, ideas that throughout the summer I will put into action...with no attachments...and not only will I be busy with this entire business plan, I will continue to write and inspire others to do the same because it's never too late to make something happen. Always have a back up plan...and never forget what inspired you at the time to make this all happen...it was the last song.

mj.

Chapter 2: living the life of the classy and fabulous...coming soon.

accomplishment. what a great feeling.

my wish for you, is that this life becomes more than you want it to; your dreams stay big your worries stay small; you never need to carry more than you can hold and when your out there getting where your getting to I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too.

Inspiration.Passion.Commitment.

A Fashion Rememberance.

"Death sometimes initiates hyperbole of praise. This is not one of those times. Alexander McQueen was an artist. That distinction makes him a rare breed in fashion, one of only a handful of modern designers whose names even make it into the discussion.

Yet while identifying him as an artist, it is essential as well to celebrate McQueen as an extraordinary designer of fashion, one who not only could, but did, make beautiful clothes for women to wear. His career-long struggle to succeed commercially involved numerous factors, but definitely not on the list was a lack of interest in, or the inability to create, clothes for life beyond the runway"


Lee Alexander McQueen will always be remembered in the fashion industry as a great artist and designer. His Gucci line will be shown in Paris, so the world can see his final collection. RIP Alexander McQueen.

Rough, Rugged and Hollywood.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned...my last confession was a week ago. I'm sorry to my fellow bloggers, family and friends because I have not written on here since the move to Vancouver. I am currently living in my new place with no internet, furniture or TV but I stay positive and say one day...it will all be mine!

So I start off my arrival in Vancouver with a hockey bag, a large suitcase, a carry on and of course, Marc who is always by my side. As I struggle to cart around all of my belongings throughout the airport trying to find where the pick up area for the arrivals are in this airport and may I add newly renovated and much bigger airport I see my new favourite walking towards me! What a fantastic way to start a chaotic day. I finally arrive at my place, eleventh floor, underneath the penthouse, not too shabby, my view is absolutely gorgeous, let's just put it this way, while I cook I will enjoy looking at mountains and their snowy peaks, it sparked a sudden interest in cooking.

For the past couple days, I have been organizing, decorating and enjoying my new city with new friends who go out of their way to help me. Remember, we aren't in Toronto anymore, people actually want to support you so you can be happy, what a nice change. In Van, I have inspired myself to believe, to set some goals and focus on what I truly want, which is happiness. Is that too much for a girl to ask? To be happy; it is your own interpretation and mine consists of being focused on a career path, a path that I can see starting here in a company that is continuously growing, where I can express my thoughts, use creativity and be passionate about my true love; fashion.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being in love with fashion, I have tried with men, but I seem to fall in love...and fall out of love a lot quicker than a pair of Chanel pumps would break, fade or simply go out of style. So as I always say "husbands come and go but Chanel pumps are for life!" Okay, I didn't say that but it is a quote that most women who are fashionable and independent always stick too because it is true, Chanel is quality...always remember quality over quantity right?... Anyways, back to it, sorry guys...I think most of you are great. Fashion is not “just clothes” I strongly dislike people who say that, why?...because fashion is culture, art, expression, inspiration, colour, it is a way to show others your sense of being an individual. Hey, I like to throw on a pair of leggings, slouchy boots, a sweater and a comfy scarf too and go out, there's nothing wrong with that but fashion isn't just about the clothes we own in our closet. It is my passion for a reason and I will stick by it’s side no matter what it brings to me, even moving across the country won’t stop me.

So as I insist on only looking forward and never looking back, I continue to stay positive and never to forget what goals I have set for myself. This is my life and I only get to have one chance to make it right, if you want to call me selfish…I will agree with you, I am selfish because I strongly believe that my happiness is the most important . I appreciate everyone that has been apart of it and who are supporting me with my dreams and I will forget the ones that are not.

I officially live in Vancouver, I am currently working for a fashion company, I have my own place and my own friends, I love to do creative writing , play sports, yoga, styling , photography and shopping. I am not tied down…maybe later, I just do my own thing!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason
people change so that you can learn to let go
things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right
you believe less so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”

Destination Vancouver, BC

Finding my Birkin, it is going to be difficult, I will feel stress, but I will never give up on Hermes. You can call me Miss. Sherlock Hermes; was this title inspirational, yes. If you love fashion as much as I do you would know that this is not only a book but it is also the most exclusive hand bag in the world and not only
do I want one...I want atleast five styles that I can call my one and only collection. Expensive, fabulous and unique; Hermes Birkin Handbags; its like finding love that you can call forever, literally forever, Birkin won't break, fade or even say good-bye, he is yours truly. <3 you. xo.

Bringing Home the Birkin (Older writing, before I left to go to Vancouver)

It's a time of a new year, as I sit at my favourite retreat in the entire world and look out the large window, sipping on a grande caramel macchiato and thinking this is exactly where I want to be. When I finally come back to reality, I realize that Im actually sitting in a chapters, looking out a dirty window at a town that I have lived in for the past 17 years and I think to myself, is this really where I want to be?

As I stare out the window, there is about a million things going on in that town but the one object I can not seem to take my eyes off is the no trespassing sign sitting in the middle of a frozen pond and it only wants to make me do the exact opposite, is it because its dangerous?...is it a risk?...or do I finally want to live my life without constant boundaries. I have never been on my own long enough to know the true meaning of'alone', I have been living a safe life with money, shelter and protection, therefore, I haven't left.

The most common word in my life is most likely the second most commonly used phrase in the world; good-bye. When I was sixteen, it started, when I was eighteen, it happened, and when I was twenty one, it changed the meaning of good-bye forever. Now, at the age of twenty three, it has once again been used...and I have had enough. So this time, I am the one saying good-bye, not to a person, but to a number of people and a town that has only ever been home to me; I am too comfortable here and I have let too many people go without a word being said except good-bye and their response..."you'll be okay".

On Tuesday, I will be leaving this town, will I come back?...that't not the question I want to answer right now. I have learned to let life be and if it is meant to be, continue to let it go in that direction, you only live once is what I've been told and sadly, I've seen, felt and experienced it. So I will live like Audrey; Hepburn that is and get out of this small town to live in a city where I feel represents my self...by myself. To marry rich? ofcourse not...to find love?...never...or to feel free?...no but to be free.

Knight in shining croc.

I have come to realize that this title only directly relates to the black patent crocodile Dooney and Bourke handbag sitting at home in my closet than it does to any man in my life. D&B will wait until I get home, D&B won't be mad at me for leaving to Vancouver and it will most definitely not lie to me and leave me stranded to fend for myself on a joyous occasion. We have an agreement, a relationship that means more than any man has ever given to me because it compliments me, it doesn't bring me down and my handbag will always know that I will come back for it and I will not choose anyone else over it, not even a birkin.

My love life came to an abrupt halt today when I realized that the past year and a half has been a lie. Not only did I believe everything that I was told but I also took a dive "head first, fearless"...what a rude awakening it was to me when I realized that I made a huge mistake. Good thing it happened a month ago and I was already over it but what I don't understand is how can a person be so selfish? I will never be able to answer this question because I fell for a person who was; so does that mean I am a victim too or does it mean I am a person who cared too much about someone else and forgot about myself.; I actually lost myself. In the end the only word that comes to mind is betrayal; it is the only way I felt over the past couple of hours but I keep forgetting you warned me.

As I continue my journey, young and free I remember the past that has made me into the person I am today. I stay positive and always remember that the only people that matter are those who treat me right and I forget the ones that don’t. I believe that everything happens for a reason and the reason that this happened is because I encountered a case of wrong identity; he in fact was not my knight in shining armour. I don’t regret ever meeting him, since in my new life, I thrive on being positive so I believe that he has lead me on the path to something great. From now on I will only be inspired by fashion, people, art, music and culture by the way I see it, I will not interpret something or someone based on other opinions because everything in my life should be seen through my eyes; an individual, trying to make something of myself in a world filled with great opportunity.

So as I begin a new life in Vancouver I will devote my time to finding myself because I know that my knight in shining croc is out there waiting for me to find him to complete my perfect outfit...or even to complete me! Until then I will focus on my surroundings, grow within the company of choice and prove to myself that life on my own really isn’t so bad once you get your priorities in line. So for the next few days I will be travelling to Ajax, to do a major cleaning of my past to create a fabulous future for me, myself and I. Actually…let’s call it a tidy…not all of it was so bad, I reunited with a friend who I now realize I couldn’t live my future without and we vowed in the future to never touch a crack heads hand ever again, to smoke cigarettes (not really), to make a complete mess and chase pirates; in translation; have fun!

Knight in shining croc, was inspired by the one and only Marc Jacobs. I watched his show on the plane and his interview has taught me to see everything in my own perspective, have your own interpretations and be successful by simply being yourself and not being so concerned with if people like who you are or what you have done but to be happy and do your own thing. Thanks Marc.

Post Secrets.

This book was recommended to me by someone, a person who appreciates art, music and thoughts of others. I decided to head over to the Vancouver library this evening and see if I could find it...as I slowly flipped over each page I realized the secrets of people who by their decision sent in a post card to a man named "frank" who printed their secrets in this book.

Some I could relate to, others were funny, some sad and a large percentage of them were simply unbelieveable. The art work was fantastic and the idea was unique. If you are looking for inspiration, always look beyond your comfort zone because you never know what you could end up finding and it may help you to realize your secrets or that "I have given away all of my secrets...and I can feel so free"

Career Chop Suey.

Hello...Tory?... Tory Burch? that's all I kept thinking as I sorted through my suitcase, not in a neat and organized way because come on if you know me you would know I am not an organized and neat person when it comes to getting dressed. So after the mess was made, Tory, Marc, Theory and my Citizens reunited to create a fabulous outfit. "Perfect!" I would say so for a day in the city.

In the past week, Vancouver has been good to me, it has introduced me to yoga classes; hot, flow and yin, it has showed me that burberry rain boots are put to good use once you leave the boundaries of Toronto and that dreams can come true...one step at a time. I found myself in a confusing state today, something even the "chill out" classes of yoga couldn't save me. I've talked to various people, thought to myself and came to a conclusion; I will fly home. Why?...a lot of people have asked me, I thought you loved Vancouver?...Correct, I do LOVE Vancouver but I have one suitcase, no personal belongings and a car sitting at home, not wanting to be left behind while I go explore these new territories. Therefore, a whole week at home will cure this mass confusion going on in my head right?...

If I miss Vancouver, I will return but this time not alone, boxes of clothing will trail behind me with UPS and I will wait for them to arrive anticipating being able to put them in my brand new closet. On the other hand, Toronto is a great city too...right? I've lived in Toronto my entire life, well east of Toronto so technically I've never lived IN Toronto, so why am I judging a city based on living around it? Probably because I applied for jobs there for 6 months and got nothing...talk about feeling like a failure...no wonder I am so against it and jumped on the first plane I could to get to Vancouver.

So...I am going back to Toronto, this time with a much more positive attitude. Hey, if our relationship doesn't work out then I know Vancouver will be waiting for me with open arms and a trendy job. Believe that everything happens for a reason, if you get a chance;take it, if it changes your life; let it. Nobody said it was going to be easy, they just said that it would be worth it.

you can call it your own...

Anthropologie. Creative, artistic, elegant, vintage & individual...the one of the kind store that has characterized their store to the country it is located in. What else can a fashionista ask for in a store; with the exception of low prices and an abundance of sale racks?
Thank you Anthropologie for making my closet that much more interesting.

The Vanouver Way.

It rains here, is that so bad? So far rain is the only negative part of this city. I arrived in Vancouver Tuesday January 12 2010, why should I share the date with you, well because it’s the middle of winter in Canada and its raining. Warm temperatures, green grass, mountains in the distance and beaches all across the coast, this is what surrounds me; so why wouldn’t I stay?

I ventured around the city today, to Kits and UBC, it’s indescribable even for someone who likes to write, its potentially the best place for me to be. I had a feeling that my life was headed in this direction “west’” and the best part is this time it was for me. Inspiration, I’m always looking for through books, people, places and simple what I surround myself with, BC is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, hence the license plates “beautiful British Columbia” they only speak the truth, honesty it s a great start to a relationship.

“Not tied down…maybe later” I found this quote on a Hollister t-shirt, lame, but it was a quote that I have been saying for years and never followed. I lived my life for everyone else except for myself, I was scared to live my own life and experience it alone. I believed in being independent, I believed in being strong, I believed in a lot of things that I didn’t actually do. Therefore, as I continued my tour through Vancouver, I realized MY life is the only thing I want to focus on and I discovered this because of some else, ironic?…maybe.

I introduced myself to a friend yesterday and again today, we had great conversation, epic food, and still as I sit here writing, am I laughing about all the crazy and ridiculous things we said to one another. I did say that I introduced myself, it was the first time we have seen each other in about 3 years, even those years ago we didn’t hang out, we simply just knew each other from school, it was a great feeling to have someone put so much effort into helping me out and taking interest in my life, those guys don’t exist anymore. Vancouver has opened my life to things I never knew existed, is it love or lust?…I guess we will find out as I continue the search to find my Birkin.
