16 - 19

Well this month has been quite busy, and it's only just begun!

One of my best friends and I decided months ago that we would get tickets to the Nicki Minaj Concert that was playing in a city near ours. So we got the tickets, and we got REALLY nice ones. I have never been so happy with concert tickets since I saw Lady Gaga at the Monsterball. We had the best weekend ever, it was our 'Summer Vacation' and it was awesome. The best way to spend a weekend. I only had to take 1 day off work too, which was an added bonus. =)

It was out first trip as 'adults,' we (meaning me) drove down to Vancouver and stayed in a hotel, went shopping and went to the concert of the YEAR!

LOVE her face



I know everyone fancy's her so I am not going to try and convince you that your should listen to her music, I get that you all have your own music interests. I know mine are a little spread out. But quite honestly it was a really well laid out concert. She got you up on your feet with the fast paced club songs, let you catch your breath with a couple ballads and then picked you up again with her original music, the reason why I love her. I say original because it's all the stuff that not everyone knows. Well everyone at the concert knew. We knew all the words to her mix tape raps and feature raps. The look on her face when the audience retorted the lyrics was brilliant, it was heartfelt and genuine. It was a look of "Wow, my fans are awesome." And she ended on such a high note, Superbass.
T'was AMAZING.

I had the time of my life, and more of a work out then what I thought. (!!!)

So I expressed shopping before, I am going to explain my shopping to you, but here is a little inside info.
Have I mentioned that I have worked my ass of this passed year? (maybe once or twice.. haha)

she is so pretty, omg.

Well, because I have worked so hard I have been saving almost every penny I make. Leaving myself an allowance so that I don't go insane. But I haven't made a super big purchase, pretty much all year. Other than the Gaga HeartBeats that I bought for like $160. If you can take care of headphones I suggest investing in a good pair, it is worth it. 

ANYWAYS, I spent a ton of money on clothes and make up and jewelry. I know it was probably not the best idea, but I did need some new clothes and I would like to get rid of some of the ones I have, plus I can take fabulous clothes with me to the UK!!

Bra-let, Topshop
Jean Vest, Vintage
Disco Shorts, American Apparel
Leggings, Joe & Secret
Bag, Steve Madden
Shoes, Jeffery Campbell Knock offs
Barbie necklace
Sarf in hair, Vintage

We shopped downtown Vancouver, the Metrotown mall in Burnaby and the Aberdeen mall in Richmond. The Aberdeen mall is like going to Asia for a couple hours, AND everything there is inflated in price by like 60%.

I got at least 7 new outfits with all the clothes I bought. I cannot wait to shop at Topshop, they had a little boutique in The Bay downtown, and I bought shorts, a sweater, leggings, some jewelry and a cupcake bra-let that I absolutely love. Got some things at American Apparel that have been on my wish list, some jeans and leggings at Forever 21 and finally got my mascara from Sephora and my foundation from M.A.C. I accomplished a lot and it felt REALLY good. It was the retail therapy that I desperately needed.

Most recently though, my Visa, so that I can enter the country and live and work there, is probably going to arrive tomorrow. I AM SO EXCITED!

This means that All that I have worked for, the highschool courses, the gap year, the stress it's all paying off!

I am finally breathing a little bit easier now. All that needs to be figured out is my flat, not all the details have been laid by the men, we're waiting to hear form the mice.
