Framed

So I'm finally getting new glasses.
But of course I can't figure out which ones to get.
I only have terrible pictures of me (post yoga class).

So you'll get to see the frames only.
Originally I had my heart set on these pretty ones.

Picture from here and yes the detail on the arms are bows (so obviously I'm crazy about them).

But when I was in the opticians office she recommended these new ones that just came in.
She said they were more current and different.

And I just can't decide.
I only get glasses once every few years.

So should I go with the original ones that I liked or do I lean towards the more trendy ones?
I can tell you thus far that the ones my friends are leaning towards is the Chanel ones.
But as usually I can't decide!

Party Dress

So one of my girl friends from the CanadaCrew recommended a website called ModCloth.
Have you heard of it?
They had this massive 70% sale so I thought it would be a good time to check it out.

And y'all!!!!!!!
I'm such a dress girl...I would wear dresses every single day if I could.
So you could imagine I was having a field day!

I had to narrow it down (so hard).
And these were the final pics.
Also shipping was $14.95 (SO good for US to Canada) and no duty or taxes (score!!!)

The Painted Lady Dress

$28.99

The Goldleaf Glamour Dress

$27.99

The Perfect in Petals Dress

$26.99

The Sea and Santorini Dress

$47.99

I loved this dress because of the back!

Clearly I love bows and polka dots.

And my fav...The Traveling Cupcake Truck Dress

$59.99

So 5 dresses for under $200!
Ummm yes please.
It's going to be a summer full of dresses.
Now only if this weather will cooperate!

Frivolous Loot Fun

Here's some of the things that I got for Christmas...
Let's make this a little more fun and lighthearted around here.
AKA how I'm totally spoiled and should be grateful for all that I do have.
Like...

Owl Slippers

Owl Pajamas...hey at least when my parents find a theme they stick to it!

Owl cup and saucer...

An owl cereal mug...I told ya once they pick a theme they stick to it...

Some pretty party dresses! Y'all know how much I love dresses...

Pick from here

Finally a Kindle which is making my carry on so much more manageable now!!!

Pic from here

Couldn't get a Kindle without a case...I love how it looks like an old book...and the Fleur de Lis (clearly)...

Pic from here

The Clarisonic Aria for my less than happy skin...I've been using it for a week and I'm noticing a difference already.  So in love with this!

Sonia Kashuk Holiday 2012 Brush Set with clutch

Since I left my beauty blender at home I picked up this one from Target that I had read a little bit about...and I HATE it...it is so much stiffer and just absorbs product.  The application is so much worse than the beauty blender.  It is awful and not worth the money.  I should have just stuck with the beauty blender...world's better...worth every penny.  I repeat do NOT buy this one.

Gloves for the gym here...I don't like calluses

It must be the year of the Kate Spade for me! Lol...love!  Actually I think it is very similar to Taylor's bag which I loved.

From TOP left to bottom Right...those pink ones were actually the shoes I was going to wear on my almost wedding day and it seemed like a waste of perfectly good shoes so I brought them out, the Red ones are for Laurel's wedding, my first pair of Hunter's (Tall Original Gloss)...though I LOVED them in Red I went with the black because it would go with more of my coats (and with the sock inserts I can wear them as winter boots up here in Canada), My very first pair of Tory Burch Reva flats, and Michael Kors Flats for practical work reasons clearly lol!

Ummm I have a slight shoe issue (CLEARLY)...

 This find was Target on clearance and $14.  I loved the inside pattern and it is a fun blazer for work or casual wear.

Y'all I found the BEST designer consignment store ever there.
Though I was craving a GORGEOUS fur throw from Bendel's it was $1500 so I set my eyes on things only under $100 and came up with these two fabulous finds.

This LaRok dress...yes (very short mini) dress.  I can't wait to pair it up with tights, heels and perhaps look for a crop motorcycle jacket or a fur through like they had paired in the store.  My first LaRok!

This DVF skirt.  I LOVE DVF (not only because she was featured prominantly in the City lol love Whitney Port BUT because she invented the wrap dress and has fabulous print dresses that one day I will get my hands on but this fun skirt was a great find! and perfect for my shapely hips/thighs.

PS Yes these were all gifts...but a good majority were gifts to myself...Merry Christmas to me.

Simple Things

Probably just me.
But I get excited when I notice certain things.
Like in this weeks New Girl episode "Santa"

When throughout the whole episode Zooey Deschanel's character wore this...

Look familiar...

Pic from here.

How about now???

Ahhh the simple things of life.
When one of your favourite TV characters is wearing your favourite new winter coat.
I scored this lovely Kate Spade bow coat back in Dallas in September (read here if you missed it).

And now I will finish off with a quote from one of my favourite characters during this episode...

Schmidt: "Love is stupid. It is a lie. So bah humbug to you, Cecelia! Bah humbug! Baaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Fashion Week in the TDotO

Y'all I'm slowly starting to get back into the blog groove...
Two nights this week I spent at Toronto's very own fashion week.
So here it is via my terrible iPhone pics.

So excited to walk up to the tent in David Pecault Square.
Even on a rainy night.

Val and I in front of the step&repeat...at least I think that's what it is called.

 Inside of the tent was really quite cool.
Probably the best part was the people watching and the amazing fashion.
I was so overwhelmed I barely got any pictures!

 DJ and cool light fixtures at the entrance to the runway.

 Media lounge sponsored by Canada's newest American addition...TARGET!
So excited when we spotted this.

When Val and I got to our chairs this was waiting which made it fun and exciting.
The show we were attending was Mercedes-Benz StartUp which is a contest for Canadian young designers...very much seemed exactly like Project Runway.
8 young designers...one winner that would get to show next year and get mentors.
So exactly like Project Runway minus the cashola!

I really couldn't get great pictures because of the bright lights...

at the end of the runway...(look at all the photogs!)

 Wednesday night my mum and grandma came into town to share in the fun.
Notice the new coat!

 Laurel came too so that was a great buffer.

We went to the Joe Fresh show.
It was amazing.  Though a TON more chaotic than the night before.
My mum made it clear while she enjoyed it she wouldn't be repeating.
Oh well I tried anyway.

So it was ALMOST a bucket list item crossed off.
Because I am way more specific...on that bucket list?
Fall Fashion Week in NYC and Spring Fashion Week in Paris.
A girl can dream can't she?

Random Picture Post!

Want some random pictures?
Good...hear ya go!

Sometimes I totally have a bachelor pad fridge...just saying.

Seriously.

St. Paddy's Day Beer...I remember they used to use these like puck shaped things when I was younger...now a drizzle of green dye that looks kinda gross!

My St. Paddy's Day go to...Midori and Sprite...and not just because KimKardashian is Midori's spokesperson either I like the taste.  Yummy!
