Nomadic Vixen Thoughts

 There's been a minor misconception about me on trips. A lot of my family members and, what I can presume, my friends as well, think that I'm "stuck-up" when traveling. That's not that case, I tell you ! First, let me say that, the more I travel, the more I realize things about myself that have never noticed before. I'm not that big into "sight-seeing" or " activities". I'm also very quiet at times when I have a lot racing through my mind. Which I usually do have when I'm traveling for the sole fact that, I am trying to retain and take in as much as I can. I'm a multi-tasking but I do need to focus for certain things. I don't like being seen or known as a tourist in places. I want to meet the locals. I want to blend in with the crowd, acting as if being there is absolutely nothing to me, like it's just another day. When, in fact, it is everything. I'm a calm, relaxed person. You can call me a chill traveller. I never really freak out over things and I'm usually just along for the ride. The things that I enjoy most about traveling is just being emerged in a different surrounding, a different atmosphere. Taking the vibes from the city and the city's people in, feeling the change of energy. The right side of my brain tends to take over. The thing is that I like to explore new things and create my own adventures. Why let someone else show their idea of a perfect day in a city when I can create my own. My ideal day traveling anywhere in the world would be heading out to the lunch and then seeing where the day takes me. Letting fate take the wheel of my day and life, directing me into the arms, or places of that I need to be in. The most beautiful thing about traveling is that you're no one. You're literally creating you're own steps in the world. Physically and figuratively, leaving your footprint in a city. Wandering the streets aimlessly isn't always a bad thing. I'm not wandering because I'm lost. I'm wandering because I want to see the places that aren't on my map. Isn't that the point of traveling, seeing the world ? But I mean, REALLY, seeing it, and not just seeing what The New York Times deems worthy of visiting. Seeing the roots of the city you're in. The small cafe on the corner that started the annual poetry slams and, the people who are daily visitors. Going the park that someone met the first love at. To go places and not just say that I've been there but, to say that I created a memory there. It's one thing to go somewhere, it's another thing to do something somewhere. That's the traveling that I like to do. Maybe I say this because I am right-sided. Maybe I say this because I am artistic, even a little bit eccentric. Or maybe I say this because I see the world a completely different way than what others do.

A week of outfits

When the sun is actually shining in Vancouver, I pull out some nice summer outfits. And since it's been gloomy and rainy, thought I'd make a post about some summer outfits. I'm feeling nostalgic and want the sun.

You gonna hate her than want me ...

Seventeen Candles

It's my birthday today guys ! Seventeen years of living. I'm only seventeen, I am so young yet I feel as if I need to figure my stuff out and, get my life together. I am so blessed and lucky to have the family I have and the friends. And I had a hard talk this weekend that told me to be more grateful and appreciative of what I have. I think I'm going to try that more.  I had a quite amazing birthday weekend. Sunday, I went to sushi dinner with my famjam and my best friend Marissa. We ordered too much ! I passed out early and my alarm woke me up at 12 am on the dot for my birthday ! My phone was ringing off the hook with calls and text, everyone is so sweet ! My family then put on a HUGE brunch for me. (I am a huge Gossip Girl and Blair Waldorf is my queen. So it was a  "Upper East Siders Brunch") Beyond amazing.  I was full all day. I then headed downtown with my friends and did some shopping. I love my city ! Vancouver was amazing to me today. Oh, and I got the best presents.(Not trying to brag or boast, I genuinely love my gifts) My Uncle and his family got me a visa master giftcard, which I spent at Urban Outfitters today on Rookie : Year one book. My aunt and her boyfriend got me a Brandy Melville wallet, Brandy Melville Giftcard (which I bought a red maxi with)  Zara Cape Town perfume and, Style Feed;The Best Fashion Bloggers book. And my parents are giving me money to go shopping on the weekend. All and all, a very fabulous birthday ! Pictures from my birthday weekend are below.
Cheers !
