It is amazing how fast time flies! It saddens me to say that I had stopped contributing to the blog for a few reasons, mainly the other areas in my life had become quite overwhelming that by the time I had the free time to do what I please I had no will power to sit down write, post pictures and just generally speaking, be creative. As we all know though life goes through many

Outfit of the day ~ Business attire

2012-11-30T12:01:00.001-08:00

So I must admit I allow my outfits to reflect my feelings. When I am tired and fed up with work, my clothing usually looks the same... but some days just to get through the monotony of the work week I like to 'dress up' for the office. My outfit today is a beautiful white silk top which I found at Spree and a fitted high-waisted black skirt from Jacobs. I paired it with Enzo Angiolini open toe

Christmas Party Time! It was a fun filled night with good food, great drinks and fabulous entertainment! Acrobatic Performers! Yes... we all wish we could do this! The beautiful center pieces that complimented the decor. Christmas Party Outfit! I was looking to do a simple black dress (so that I can wear it again) with red accessories. After trying a multitude of dresses on, I

~ Christmas Sparkles

2011-12-12T22:39:00.000-08:00

I was having one of those lazy weekend afternoons and thought I would spice up my red nails with some OPI sparkles! I have a love/hate relationship with sparkles... I love how they look but they are a killer to take off, so I will hold on to these as long as I possibly can lol I really like how this polish has many different coloured sparkles: red, green, blue, silver, and gold!! They

2011-11-30T08:56:00.000-08:00

It's that time of the year when certain items we have been wishing for all year long may possibly become ours!... that is, if you've been good and Santa is feeling generous ;) I decided to break down my list into categories: Wants, Wishes and something I have been wishing for, for a long time now.... 1: Wants Pandora Charms I resisted the whole Pandora craze for a good while, but once I got

Christmas Decorations!

2011-11-26T12:09:00.000-08:00

Nothing makes me more excited then decorating for Christmas, there is no comparison to the warm, cozy feeling that the Holiday Season brings! As you will see I love snowman and penguins... and traditional Christmas colours. I love warm Christmas lights and unique Christmassy pieces. I am still looking to find a Snowman Cookie Jar, a pair of Silver-ish (or similar) Reindeer and also some type of

2011-11-16T12:07:00.000-08:00

Men are like gorgeous shoes... They make you so happy when you first put them on, you feel beautiful, confident, secure and admire how great they make you feel. Then after awhile they start to pinch, they get uncomfortable, they betray your beauty, and before you know it you're either chucking them away never to fathom the thought of them again, or hobbling like a cripple because you

Outfit of the day~Leather & Jeans

2011-10-25T11:15:00.000-07:00

My weekends usually consist of resting (after long hectic work weeks), running errands and catching up with friends. This look of casual sophistication is achieved by pairing the 'casual' jeans with a dressier leather jacket, a silk shirt and of course cute heels. Purse: Michael Kors Leather Jacket: Laundry Black Shirt: ZARA Cigarette Jeans: J Brand Necklace: Forever21 I found this leather

Outfit of the day~Pretty and Polka-dots!

2011-10-22T10:50:00.000-07:00

Saturday afternoon, decieved by the sun, decided to dress cute... Only to soon realize how cold it actually was outside... but the adorable feeling of my outfit made me forget about the cold and prance around in my flouncy skirt! Nude Tank Top: H&M Polka-dot Skirt: H&M Purse: Chanel To add to the 'look' of my outfit I chose cute t-strap ballet flats... Black T-strap Ballet Flats:

Outfit of the day~Black & White

2011-10-19T15:13:00.000-07:00

BLACK & WHITE A stylish work outfit for a beautiful fall day! I love this shirt and have dressed it up with a skirt/dress pant or casualized it with skinny jeans and boots. I love the detailing and the gauzy fabric, it definitely polishes off any look. I have been on the hunt for a pair of black cropped skinnies all summer and finally last week found a pair I liked at Aritzia, they felt

~ Hockey Date!

2011-10-12T11:21:00.000-07:00

Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin & Alex Burrows! So now that this busy long-weekend has past, I thought I would share with you a few pictures from Thursday nights hockey game. You may think, "April weren't you watching the game at Earls?"... Nope! the bf surprised me with tickets to the Season Opener!! And what a surprise they were, 1st row seats right behind the Canucks bench. (So if you did

With each new season comes new wishes! For this fall season here are the current items that are on my list. I am sure I will come across new wishes, but I would have to say for the moment these are my must-haves. What items do you have on your Fall Wish List?? Camel Coat: I have had my eye on this style of coat ever since I tried one on at Nordstroms last year. Considering the Wilfred

~ It's Friday Night!

2011-09-23T18:32:00.000-07:00

I am beyond excited that it's Friday night... As I am sure the rest of you are. I was counting down the hours at work until I could head home pick up a chilled bottle of wine and curl up on the couch in my comfies (meaning boyshorts and nothing else... lol) and unwind. After an unbearably slow week I could not wait for it to end and be free from work. On my way home I stopped by my favorite

~ Book Review... Boo!

2011-09-22T14:58:00.000-07:00

So I came across this little guy on Facebook one day... I adore pomeranians and the moment I laid eyes on this litte guy's face I was in love!! His name is Boo and he is such a cute little creature, his face exudes personality and no matter your taste in animals you are bound to fall in love with Boo! On Boo's facebook page you get a glimpse into the life and times of Boo. What he likes to do

2011-09-21T12:29:00.000-07:00

We have all been there, whether it be with your bank, phone company, or cable company at some point in time you have encountered that automated voice greeting you on the other end of the phone line. It always asks you a string of what you deem are stupid questions and in doing so states them very slowly and methodically so that it takes almost 10 minutes to just clear up the fact that you want '

~ Aritzia Summer Haul

2011-08-31T12:23:00.000-07:00

Summer sales... No matter how hard I try to resist them I never can! Spent a lazy Sunday thinking I would just go wander around, see what's new on Robson Street, and before I knew it I was caught up in a flurry of "OMG everything is on Sale!!"... After a whirl-wind impromptu shopping spree at Aritzia I came to a conclusion that I should seriously consider freezing my credit card in a block of

2011-08-31T11:04:00.000-07:00

It's a given that your average female will feel a high of excitement when a brand new, much loved purchase is made. Whether it be a shopping trip to Sephora for whimsical colours of eye shadows and lipsticks or a drop dead gorgeous dress you find on-sale at Marciano, the rush of excitement is all the same... That feeling of anticipation walking up to the till... heart beating faster... card

~ Summer Random Haul

2011-08-30T14:21:00.000-07:00

Summer finds from all over! I thought I would do a collective haul from all the items I found over this past summer... The weather may have been pitiful but the shopping sure was good!! BEBE Found 3 cute tops, all were on sale. My favorite so far has been the Pink Leopard Print wrap top, it's versatile, breezy and can definitely amp up a boring black outfit! Purple and grey one shoulder

~ Summer Shoe Haul

2011-08-30T11:27:00.000-07:00

I had a week off of work with nothing to do so I decided to once and for all find a nude pair of shoes. It has been on my "list" for a few months now and I could not seem to find a pair that fits the image I had in mind. I finally came across a pair of nude heels that just may do the job. As you can see this summer, I found many other cute shoes along the way... Enjoy!! Guess T-Strap Nude

~ Sephora/Revlon Haul

2011-08-30T10:50:00.000-07:00

I find that I go through make-up stages, at each stage a certain beauty item will be on my hot list. A few months ago it was concealer, before that it was mascara and currently it is lipstick/lip gloss. I purchased one of those gift packs from Sephora earlier this year and it contained a Buxom Lip Gloss. The color wasn't the best for me but I loved the gloss itself, it has that tingly sensation

~ Revlon Crazy Shine - Nail Buffer

2011-08-23T12:23:00.000-07:00

I was perusing my local Pharmasave to pass some time before I had to go back to work and ended up finding something amazing... I picked up some necessities and some not-so-necessities and while making my purchase at the till the cashier introduced me to the most amazing nail buffer I have ever seen. I must admit I was very skeptical that the young cashiers nails were really that shiny from a
