I'm back from the dead :P

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything in like two months lol. I started my nursing preceptorship in August and then I guess it made me super drained and lazy! The nursing preceptorship is pretty much the last stretch of the nursing program. You are paired up with someone who is already a registered nurse and you work the same shifts as them at whatever ward they are on. They act like your mentor and help you become independent. Preceptorship can be scary for some nursing students because some of them end up failing because they are either not confident on the floor, they are unable to time manage, or they just end up having a bad relationship with their preceptor.

Lucky for me... both of my preceptors were awesome!! 

And..........

I GRADUATED FROM NURSING SCHOOL LAST FRIDAY! 

WOOHOO!

I just have to write my nursing exam in February in order to be a full on registered nurse. I haven't started studying yet but I'm not worried because I have lots of time :P

Lots has happened during the time where I've ignored my blog so I'll have to summarize everything in point form. I'll try to go in order lol.

1. I'm still single... 

and it's been so much fun!! I was planning to keep my options open and savor the single life but now I've actually fallen for this one boy :D He's not my boyfriend but we both said we would be "exclusive". Breaking up with my ex was one of the smartest things I've done. 

2. However...

this other boy who likes me (let's call him A) took me out to the mall sometime two months ago because he wanted to go shopping at Harry Rosen. He ended up spending $5000 on himself (and I thought I had a shopping problem) but he also bought me a pair of flats because he broke one of my watches another time before. I chose Salvatore Ferragamo ones from Holt Renfrew. 

Salvatore Ferragamo My Paris Snake Print Flats

These were $350 ish Canadian at Holt Renfrew but online it says they are only $250? What a ripoff!

3. I've been buying a lot of clothes from Zara lately.

Isn't this shirt so hot? I can't wear a bra with it so I put sticky tape on my boobs lol.

I ended up buyin the leggings in the picture too. I got them in an xs because they had no smalls left. Now I wish I waited for a small because I feel like they are too short on me (I'm 5'7)

(BUY HERE)

One of my fave sweaters because it's covered in sequins. 

Only problem is that it snags like crazy.

(BUY HERE)

Bought this sweater but in light grey. It's mohair so I find it itchy and uncomfortable at times to wear. But whatever... looking good doesn't always mean you are comfortable! I purchased this one online and they only offered it in a size medium. 

(BUY HERE)

Bought these camo pants in size 4 but had to exchange them because they were huge!! I always think I am bigger than I actually am lol. I exchanged the pants for a size 2 and they fit a lot better. They have a bit of stretch to them which is nice. Not comfortable wearing them though. 

4. It was my niece's 3rd birthday in November. She's such a spoiled little princess!

Rayelle throughout the years <3

Rayelle about to head to the aquarium for her birthday with her momma while I'm about to head to the lab to get a chest x-ray done (I was sick A LOT during my preceptorship)

I spent 2 hours building this fricken dollhouse mansion for her...

Isn't she so adorable :D

She's part Filipino, Chinese, and Syrian

4. I guess that leads me to my next point... I was sick for SOOO LONG during the past 2 months! 

First my throat really hurt, then it became itchy, then my nose became runny and I couldn't stop coughing. I went to the doctor and she told me that I had pneumonia in my right lung so I was given antibiotics. Even after I finished those I was STILL sick so I went back to the doctor after a week or two and was given a puffer. They sent me to get a chest x-ray done which came back clear. So back to the doctor I went and it turns out... that I have allergies! Jesus Christ :( I still need to get an allergy test done...

Another sick day. Wearing a Canucks hat, Coco & Yves sweater, and my Tom Ford shades

Waiting at the doctors. Wearing my Jimmy Choo Ugg boots and using my Alexander Wang Rocco.

5. So yeah... I bought Tom Ford aviators. 

I also bought new Burberry eyeglasses the same day (YIKES). I was honestly just walking around the mall not planning on buying anything when I decided to just "browse" through one of the eyeglass stores. BAD IDEA!! I left that store $800 broker!

6. I went out one night to party with some girlfriends.

8. Here are some work-related pictures that I took during the past 2 months 

One of my patients' sons gave me his phone number lol so embarassing 

This is the thank you gift I made for my first preceptor. She loves pink so I bought a Starbucks mug for her and decorated it with pink glitter!! Super easy to do I got the idea from Pinterest.

Goodies!

I went to the post office again with my girlfriend (we got pulled into customs again btw... 3rd time in a row now) to pick up our wonderful online shopping!!

This was on sale online at Nordstrom

Won't these look so cute with a black summer dress??

Sam Edelman Zoe booties

These are similar to these Givenchy ones that I definitely can't afford

I found these on 6pm.com on sale for only $60 with free shipping!

My Kenzo sweater <3

I want to wear this with my black faux fur vest, black leggings, booties, and my black multicolore LV

I didn't order these but my boyfriend surprised me with Chanel jellies!! :D

They feel weird to walk in though

Someone should cut up my credit card

Aiyah. I bought a Kenzo sweater online today!! I am so angry at myself yet happy at the same time lol. Why on earth is it so difficult for me to save $$$ right now!? Anyways, I love Kenzo sweaters and I've always wanted one. Today my boyfriend and I were walking around gastown and we walked by this high end men's clothing store (don't know the name). One of the mannequins was wearing a Kenzo sweater so I was the one who actually pulled my boyfriend into the store lol. I tried on the men's sweater in a size small and I LOVED IT! It was a bit baggy but I didn't mind. I remember looking at last season's Kenzo sweaters for women and they were sooooo tiny. So I was contemplating on buying the men's sweater today for $315 but I said I would think about it. 

So I got home today and searched for Kenzo sweaters online. The sweaters for women are actually not as tight this season! Plus, the prices were cheaper online!! I found ONE last Kenzo sweater in a size small at Forward by Elyse Walker (a sister site to revolve clothing) so... I bought it. I got 15% off for downloading their iPhone app too!

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT!! 

I also stopped by a consignment store in Gastown today called Timeline Boutique. The owner is SO SO nice and polite. I ended up grabbing a terry cloth Juicy Couture summer dress for ONLY $15! And the store doesn't charge tax either!

My boyfriend won't stop making fun of me and my "shopping list" and how I haven't been able to stick to it at all. He thinks that it's just an excuse for me to shop and soon I'll be having a "Halloween shopping list", "Christmas shopping list", "Fall shopping list". WHATEVV!!!
