Single Ladies

I had a great time dancing my ass off on New Years Eve with my friend, Ali at Library Square. Yes, I go there a lot, A LOT! This year Ali and I decided why make huge plans that are going to be a let down and why not just make simple dancing plans. Because let me be honest, there are three things I want to do on New Year's Eve!

1) Wear something awesome..Check! I wore this super short sequined black and gold dress by Ark and Co that very much reminded me of the French Connection dress I saw on Diane Kruger.

2) Dance...check! Danced for hours at Library Square to the best DJ they have had there in the 3 years I have been going there regularly! She should be there at least once a week. The mix of music was everything I wanted and NOTHING I didn't. It was amazing and yes, I told her!

3) Kiss a cute boy at midnight...check! True, I didn't really ask him, I just found one and planted a kiss on him at midnight. And that was all I wanted from him so it was back to dancing.

But there were other awesome things about not having high expectations for the night, I had a lot of fun! I wasn't thinking how it could be a let down and at about 1am we head over to the Winking Judge Pub for one last beer(that I did not need) and this photo shoot happened! Then it was off to bed. I think next year I am going to go low expectation again because it was so much more than I wanted!

Ice Skating under Robson St

One of the main things I wanted to do this holiday season was to go ice skating at the renewed Robson Rink. I got to go this week with my friend's Jen and Serg.

This place is amazing. I am telling you, you have to go! It was so much fun! I brought us a thermos full of hot chocolate and I think this really adds to the whole winter wonderland vibe.

It was full of skaters, and it was beautiful. I think it would be a great date place, if you like to skate. Skating around, holding hands, drinking some coco, ahhh. But it is also a great place to go with good friends.

One of the cutest parts was the mini Zamboni that looks like a killer whale! I think they should make the one at GM Place look like one too!

Jen and Serg

Here is what I wore:

Where: Robson Rink

What: Jacket: Hong Kong $20

Sweater: Aritzia $80

Jean: Lushuz $40

Toque: Mintage $20

Skate: Mine

Why: It can be hard what to wear to something where you have to be warm but you still want to be stylish. The solution, I am wearing long johns under my skinny jeans and a long john top under my sweater! I used to work in film and would have to spend hours standing outside in the rain and cold while filming. I quickly learned that long johns and wool sock are your best friend and will keep you warm!

Fancy Nancy Wine and Cheese

Every year just before Christmas I throw a Fancy Nancy Wine and Cheese Party at my place. Its really an excuse for my friend's and I to dress up and be festive. This year it was a little last minute so not a lot of people were able to make it but it was as fun as always.

If you have not heard of the Fancy Nancy books you should really check them out. They are all about a little girl who wants everything to be fancy, I love her!

Here is just a few of the fancy people who showed up this year.

Jen and Serg

Aren't they cute? Jen was working the who 40's film star look!

Jenn and Matt( New Engaged!)

I love that they are wearing matching red! I asked and no they didn't do it on purpose.

Here is what I wore:

Where: My apartment for Fancy Nancy and then Library Square

What: Crown: Christmas Stocking last year

Shrug: Estate Sale $50

Silk Dress: Estate Sale $30

Shoes: H&M $40

Why: I insisted that everyone be a bit fancy for this party so I have to show them how its done. I didn't actually wear the shrug for long, it was too hot in my apartment. And when we went out dancing I was afraid it would get dirty. I did however wear the crown out dancing, and it was AWESOME!

Tiger Dress

Last saturday my friend Minh started a new job at Au Bar, so in support we headed over there to check her out. I must say she was looking hot, a good thing for bartending. After a couple drinks a few of us decided to head over to Library Square for a little bit of '80's music. I finally got to wear my vintage 1960's tiger dress that I got a True Value Vintage. I love it, at first it just looks like a print  but if you look closer you will notice it is actually faces of tigers. So amazing! It is made of crushed velvet so it got a little hot while dancing but who cares when the dress is so awesome!  

Dress: Vintage, $50

Shoes: Aldo $60

Clutch: Gift from my bro

Earrings: Le Chateau $10

Beer: MGD

My two friends, Marlise and Talyor are also looking fabulous but I don't what they are wearing or where they got it. If you want to know, let me know and I'll find out for you!

PS Thanks for the picture ClubZone!
