Saying Goodbye


For many years you have been there for me, supplying deliciously flavored food at very affordable prices, giving me options to create my own meals in various sizes. You also offered me tasty treats for dirt cheap and you never failed to satisfy my cravings. You were open to me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all I ever really needed was $1.50 to have a date with you. Your breakfast sandwiches…oh what can I say about those? They were completely delectable and will always remain one of my favourites of all time. You were there before school, during breaks, after school, on days when I didn’t want home cooked meals, on days when I had no choice, and any other time to service me. You are international and that warms my heart. I was excited to grab a bite when my flight stopped in Amsterdam and I was even more excited in South Africa. For 2, years you put money in my pocket and allowed me to be comfortable. You even gave me my first position in the management field, and even though the stress was unbearable sometimes, it was a wonderful learning experience. It saddens me that I must now say goodbye because well you’re no good. I gained an unhealthy 60 pounds working for you, creating a body I have to work hard to get rid of. Your foods as delicious as it is, always made me feel gross after and you’re uniforms were very unfashionable. So I am saying goodbye McDonalds’. Goodbye.

Yummy Yum Yum




For those who know my personally, you most likely know that I have a radar that picks up tall guys, tall white guys in particular (please no one be offended, they’re just my preference). So Thursday evening, while I was at work, in the midst of a conversation with my favorite co-worker, Jonathon, my radar went into hyper motion and picked up a gorgeous young man stepping onto the sale floor. It took me but a second to realize that the gentleman was none other than Nicholas "Nico" Archambault, the winner of so you think you can dance Canada. Now I never did watch that show religiously (between school and work, I hardly watched TV) but I had seen enough episodes to know who he was and may I say, this man is completely delicious. For the 38 seconds that I had my eyes on him, I saw the mountains, clouds, the sun, the moon, and every single star in the Milky Way. I wasn’t star struck; I was completely paralyzed by his sex appeal. Oh my. I tried to find some naughty-like pictures of Nico but unfortunately none are up. Yet. Anywho, Nico if you ever stumble upon this, let it be known that you are gorgeous J

Boyfriend look




Spring is right around the corner, and the thing I’m most excited about is the FASHION TRENDS!
Any of you who follow fashion, loosely or closely, know that the trends this spring include well-tailored pieces, romantic feminine pieces and my absolute favorite; THE BOYFRIEND LOOK. For those who know me personally, the boyfriend look has been my personal favorite for years. There is nothing more comfortable than a pair of pants that are a size too big, a wife beater and a button down shirt.
In recent months, the boyfriend look has been made more popular by celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan and Reese Witherspoon. Even Victoria Beckham, queen of ferocious fashion, gave the boyfriend look a try.
To achieve this look in a simple and easy way, grab a pair of jeans a size up (straight leg or even a skinny leg) roll the leg up if they’re too long, wear it with either a wife beater, a basic v-neck t-shirt or a plain button up shirt. Feel free to accessorize it as much as you want (belts, chains and my favourite; fedoras) or keep it completely laid back.
Enjoy this look on a lazy weekend, or any day of the week for that matter!

Welcome


After months and months of thinking to create a blog, I sat down and actually did it. The joke of it all is that, I thought it would take me forever to sign up, but it actually took me less than 3 mintues. Anywho, welcome to my blog. And if you're thinking why in the hell I called it gnomes, its my first names combined; Gloria and Noemie= Gnomes. May not be the smartest thing, but I enjoy it :) My blog will consist on my opinions on everything from books, to movies, to fashion to politics, but please don't take anything seriously, it will mostly just be me ranting.

Hope to see you soon!!!!
