Xmas Shopping at the Eaton Centre & Photos of the Week #4

Today I was SO excited to hang out with Sachie and go Christmas shopping! (I got a lot of things but can't post them here because I know relatives will be peeking haha) I just hit my holiday break from school, so it was almost a mini celebration to go out and have some fun with her. We don't see each other too often outside of conventions and cosplay, so it's really special!

It was rainy, but not too cold thankfully! I wanted to look cuter than my usual stressed, student self so I ended up wearing a skirt and tights. I need more girly winter clothes I think.. We also went and got food before shopping. I had these delicious bbq pork buns and dim sum! :)

Afterwards we went through the mall. Stopped off at Lush, H&M, Crabtree & Evelyn (I love that place!) and of course Sephora! We tried out a bunch of fragrances from Tocca which I've been dying to check out but never got around to it till now! Sachie is buying me a rollerball of one of their scents for Christmas that I'm super excited about! I never get to take scents with me on trips because the bottles are too big, but this is perfect!

The Eaton Centre in Toronto is all decked out in its Christmas finery too!

The tree changes colours too!

After I got back from shopping today I decided to try out something I've been wanting to do for a while. My common room at residence has been decorated by some of the students for the holidays and the ambiance at night was interesting and warm that I had to take some photos! It's also the first time trying out my tripod and my god are tripods amazing! They let you do things that you wouldn't normally be able to do!

Took these with my Canon T3i and 18-55mm lens.

Wish I could've made the bokeh balls a little better but the room was only so big :'(

Just cropped this one, no Photoshop

I hope everyone is staying warm and snuggly during the exam period. Stay safe!

Photos of the Week #3

Just a little something to break up my Anime North posts! (〃∇〃) 

It was pouring out today! I thought I'd try my hand at taking pictures of rain. 

Below are photos using my glass table as a subject.

And then on Victoria Day recently....

But then the firework flew into our neighbours' backyard のヮの;

I also went for sushi earlier this week. Please enjoy the food porn.♥

We always get red bean ice cream for dessert (◍´ಲ`◍)

Photos of the Week #1

I'm not going to fool myself into thinking that I'm going to be able to do this every week, but every once in a while I'm going to try and take some photos that catch my eye and then put them here. I think it'd be neat to see how my skills develop as a photographer, as well as seeing what interests me (as these things change over time).
