I'm Back!

I finally got my internet all hooked up and ready to go! I can't believe I actually survived more than 2 weeks without it!

So unless you have been living under a rock you know that the Winter Olympics have taken over my city. I thought that I was going to hate it, the people, the hassles, and such, but I LOVE IT!! This city is so alive right now! I kind of wish it could be like this all the time!

There has been a lot of late nights and a lot of hard work but this time is so much fun! The Canadian pride alone makes my heart sing, but on top of that the world is getting to see my beautiful city and I love it!

When: Tuesday, Febuary 16, 2010

Where: All Over Vancouver!

What: Jacket: H&M $50

Shirt: Joe Fresh $20

Top: Old Navy $20

Pants: H&M $50

Boots: B2 $300

Scarf: Free from work

Gloves: Dollar Store

Flag: Winners

Purse: Thrifted $2

Hairband: LuLuLemon $10

Why:While wandering all over Vancouver on an Olympic tour for the day I wanted to be warm, stylish and show of my true colours. The layering really helped with the bit of cold on the sunny day and while watching the Canadian Men's Hockey game the red was helpful in cheering for my country!

I find I have been trying to wear some red every day to show my love for my country and even at work I am rocking the red lipstick.

What are you doing to show your support?

Olympics

Hey all!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Olympics! I haven't had a chance to update in a long time as I do not have internet in my apartment and trying to get it when the World is visiting Vancouver is basically IMPOSSIBLE! Check back soon as I will be back by the end of the week. Till then ENJOY!

Global News

Last night I was on the news. Global news did a story on how polite and helpful Vancouverites actually are to tourists. I was walking past the art gallery when I notice a gentlemen with his maps out looking around. Now when I first moved to Vancouver I got lost all the time and if it wasn't for the kindness of others, I would have never found anything. Eight years later, I like to helps other now that I know where everything is. I ask the man if he was looking for something, gave him directions and then was on my way.

6:30pm rolls around and I get a text message from my friend, Shawn. "I saw you on the news, nicely done." Turns out the gentlemen was undercover for Global news and I never guessed.

Check it out at the 22 min mark.

And remember you never know who might need your help next time.

Resolutions?

It is raining in Vancouver today, which is not a surprise, but having today off I haven't felt the need to leave my house yet and have been reading blogs all morning. I wasn't planning on making any resolutions this year as nobody seems to stick to them. I know I don't. I always end up with more of a "To Do" list. However, I am feeling a bit inspired by all the other resolutions I have seen today. So here it goes:

1) Don't buy anything unless I truly LOVE it and it fits my style.

I have bought many things and then gotten them home just to realize that I will never wear it, ever. So its back to the store to return said item and really I just need to not impulse buy the things I do not actually want.

2) Take risks with my clothes.

I see things that I know I love but am scare to buy and wear around Vancouver. This year screw it! I'm wearing it and if the city can't handle it too bad!

3) Use my gym membership.

Hahaha..if this happens I deserve a metal! I HATE the gym but I should take care of myself so there it is.

4) Make my life happen.

...not so much a resolution but more of a motivator!

5) Take a trip that involves a plane and my passport.

6) Take Ballroom lessons.

I have been wanting to do this for years... at least 10 years by my count...and I am officially not waiting for someone to take them with. I'm doing it!

I think 6 is good for now but I am sure the "To Do" list for 2010 will only continue to grow as this year moves forward. Good Luck People!

2010

Welcome to 2010 everyone! I hope you had a great New Year's Eve and recovered well yesterday. I've been super busy with this holiday season but I'm back now so look for new posts very soon.

To my classmates.....

Hi guys!

Just wanted to welcome you to my blog. I really hope you like it. I have been working on it for roughly two years now and it is one of the things I look forward to working on everyday. It started as a way to express my fashion creativity and a way to challenge myself to dress fabulous every day. It has since taken on a life of its own, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Now get back to studying and those massive projects!

See you in class!

Love,

Girl

Where I will feature a different store every week that I think you all would like or should check out. Also as I am a make-up artist, have been for the last 6 years, 3 of those in film, I am adding a make-up tips feature.

So if you have any make-up question or have a store you would like me to feature send me a message and I'll do it! Keep your eyes up for these new feature in the next week!
