Lilly Pulitzer Backgrounds

My office loves to celebrate.  We love to have fun.  We take any opportunity to work as a team, have fun together, and celebrate moments.  One of our biggest annual activities is Movember .  We do Movember BIG.  Last year our office raised the second most of any marketing/advertising agency in Canada.  Many of our clients are Non Profits, so we take fundraising for great causes seriously. Each year we make an official TrojanOne (or team MojanOne, as we've dubbed our Movember team) video.  This year is no exception! I'm sure everyone has seen Psy's Gangam Style video.   Our MojanOne team leader enlisted us all to make our own version.  I bring you  My Movember Style: Unfortunately I, too, am in this video!  But thankfully I play only a very small part.  In the end it was actually a lot of fun to make, and it was great to see the entire office come together for one great cause. We also celebrated the start of Movember with a fund...

I absolutely love the myriad of affordable eyewear websites that have sprouted up online in recent years.  From Warby Parker and their get-one-give-one policy, to Eyebob's  ridiculously extensive collection of fun frames, to BonLook 's made in the USA designs, there are so many options available these days for under $100.  This year has been so much about personal change, and personal appearance ( note the hair !) and style have not been left out!  I decided it was time for some new frames. I loved F.E. Castleberry's tortoise shell frames and was thrilled to see they were from Lookmatic (read: under $100).  So I searched the site and came away with these two pairs: I really wanted to get something a little different. I usually don't like clear frames, but these Hobbs frames had just enough old-school charm to them and still incorporated tortoise shell (my forever classic).  Plus, confession, I have a large head (thanks dad).  So these were a great f...

It has been a shamefully long time since my last post.  To say that I fell off the blogger bandwagon would be a gross understatement.  The last year+ has been quite the whirlwind as I made the transition from student to young professional,  moved cities, and struggled to find out who I was and who I wanted to become.  As someone who has always had plans for everything, had checklists for life, and found uncertainty debilitatingly frightening (still do!), the last year has been life-changing in so many ways.  So what have I, CanadianPrep, been up to since last year? (source) I lost a job before I even started - The summer I worked as an intern for The Emily Post Institute was one of the best summers of my life.  When I graduated I had an opportunity to return to work in Sales/Marketing.  However, due to immigration issues, working in the US was not feasible.  It was devastating to have to pass on that job.  Doesn't my old desk look lonely? ...
