So........

I have been very busy and I have been neglecting my blog. I am sorry, I will work harder on that starting now. The great Christmas Season is upon on us and I have a ton of parties coming up so expect so festive outfit posts to come.

Here is a quick update of what I have been up to:

Thats right, I am finished. I graduated from Fashion Merchandising at Vancouver Community College.



My proud parents even came over from the island for the ceremony, and stayed for the party I had with my friends. It was a lot of fun to have them there. 

As a gift my friend Uldis got me a pair of hockey tickets for the Canucks games on Sunday, November 21. It was hard to choose who to take, Uldis told me to take someone. I ended up taking my friend, Brittney, it was her first game ever. We showed up wearing matching jersey and we had a great time!


Hockey Twins!

Other that that I went to a couple job interviews, got covered in snow, tried to stay warm, and having been working A LOT! Hope your winter is fun so far. Now bring on the eggnog!!

Fashion Royalty

Last Tuesday I got the chance to meet someone I have watched, admired, and wanted to be for years. Yes my friends, I met Jeanne Beker! The host of Fashion Television, who has been the only host for 25 years! She is fabulous! I read her autobiography this summer while hitting up the beach, so when my invite to meet her at the Bay came I jumped on it. She was just as fabulous in person.

First talking about her new collection, which she did not design but edited. I love that she was the first to say that, she isn't a designer and it was refreshing to hear someone admit what they are. Jeanne then went into a questions and answer period. Answering question after question and all with honest answers, that were not just a push for people to buy, buy, buy.
Jeanne then got comfortable at a booth for a meet and greet. She was signing things and getting her picture taken with people for a good hour or more. I was impressed. This was not something she had too do, especially knowing she had been at The Bay since 8am, a 12 hour shift.


I waited in the line with my friend, Jen and both of us had our pictures taken with Jeanne and I got her to sign the autobiography. She laughed, couldn't believe I had that one. (Its about 10 years old.) Then told me to be on the look out for the new one coming in February. I told her to come back for a book tour. (I can be such a dork.) After looking at all the clothes in her collection, smartly called Edit, it was off to Trivia. It was a Tuesday after all.
