Bag has arrived!

My new Asos bag has arrived, and with no customs charges!!

Now I've noticed something about it. It would appear that Asos doesn't know how to use a colour checker when they're photographing their wares. Or their web guy is colour blind.

This is the picture on the website. I was initially a little worried about he peachy, pink colour since it's not one of my best, but it was a nice shade and far away from my hair, so I went for it anyway. And its got anchors on it. Can't go wrong!

 This is the bag I got in the mail. I like red, a lot, so this is pretty awesome! There wasn't an option for a different colour online, and the colour on the website is described as "Cream." I'm guessing that was referring to the base colour, not the design or piping.

And this is to show that while I don't know how to use a colour checker either, I can still see the difference between red and peachy pink. Note the red details in this scene; the emergency parking sign, the no u-turns sign and the red paintings. Note how the bag is the same colour.

Now I just have to find some outfits to go with it.... or at least a time where I'm not wearing my backpack already...

Spring Forward!

And lose an hour of sleep.

Although being up and blogging at what is now 3am, probably isn't helping either...

1. Waiting for my new Asos bag. Got it during their Leap Day sale, combined with a February sale, so it should be just under the amount Canada Customs bothers to work out customs and duties for.

2. We've made some great headway on the Bedford exhibition my classmates and I have been working on non-stop for the past two months.

A Bedford photograph for sale on Etsy! Check out William Johnson's shop for more.

3. New York Trip! I going to the AIPAD show for the first time, but the whole thing will be a whirlwind trip. I got a great deal on a return flight from Porter, managed to find one bed left in a hostel, and will be seeing some of the guys from PPCM: Team Rochester. The downside is that I'll be flying in at about 8am Friday morning, and coming back on Saturday morning to make sure I'm back in time for the exhibition installation/painting.

The good news, NYC carts and restaurants!
I'm scouring Eat Street's website for a running list of what's close to the hostel. I'm trying to work out when is the best time to make the pilgrimage to Japadog, and have one of those glorious hot dogs again!
