summertime

Above: my trip home to Van, some shopping I did there, mint polish + gladiators on my way to work, my drive up to Shawnigan & just how insanely beautiful it is, Swan Lake, dt Victoria, the view of Lion's Gate Bridge from the seaplane, Victoria harbour at sunset, school in summer, cookies to get me through school in the summer, Parliament, family dinners, and Ed Sheeran in my kitchen (all in no particular order). A little representation of one of the best summers in a while : ) I feel like I have been able to breathe. 

I know I've been a little MIA, I've been insanely busy in the best way possible and sometimes priorities adjust themselves accordingly. Here are some pics to make up? My camera has decided to be fussy (another reason posting hasn't been happening all that much) so all these were taken on instagram (@sarahkassam if you're interested). Looking forward to the last month of summer: classes end, and I am going to be visiting so many people I love: Vancouver, San Fran, and Mexico City here I come! Hope you all have the best sort of busy happening for you and are getting to enjoy the weather! 

xx,
Sarah

Just discovered this (isn't it lovely to have in-the-know friends?) and HAD to share. Please check the link above out! These songs are absolutely breathtaking. Had the most wonderful night yesterday-a (friend) family dinner, and then baking cookies with the girls. You know how sometimes it hits you how lucky you are? That's how I feel right now, so grateful for the people I get to have in my life. Anyway, Happy Thursday!

Loving how these looks are still so summer appropriate! I'm sitting in my apt trying to work up the effort to do something productive...not happening easily let me tell you. Hope you're having better luck, or just relaxing before the week starts up again. Happy Sunday! : )
