Not so mellow yellow...

I love getting invited to things, any reason to dress up and I am there. I am known for being a little bit over dressed but I would much rather be over dressed then under dressed. I recently wore this outfit to a jewellery store opening at Oakridge Center. I ran home from work and only had about 30 minutes to get ready.

Shirt: Community Thrift Shop
Jeans: Lushuz
Shoes: B2
Necklace: Warehouse Jeans
Earring: Can't remember

Lucky for me I had picked up this yellow silk shirt at the last event held at Community Thrift store. How awesome it it? It has really made me think that I need a few other silk t-shirts, they work for any event! Throwing on this shirt and some fab shoes and I was out the door.

In fact this outfit really didn't get seen by enough people...I think I'll wear it to my friend's birthday dinner tonight.

Modest Goddess

MAC Make-up Madness

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I was in Tofino for Thanksgiving and kind of enjoyed being cut off from the Internet. Now I'm back and in full force.

I got an email today about a special event for MAC at the Bay downtown. I am sharing it with all of you cause it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun. In fact they are calling it a party, you know that means music, and goodies! They are bringing in 35 MAC make-up artist from all across the country to launch their new Holiday Collection, and I hear they are taking over half of the main floor to make this happen!

Now that I am working at the Bay I get to hear extra little bits of info about these kind of events, I hear that the decorations for this party are CRAZY! MAC is going all out. Also those 35 national MAC make-up artist are giving make-overs to demo the new collection looks. If you ask me that is a great way to get your make-up done before heading out to dance the night away!! The make-overs are happening Oct. 22nd till Oct. 24th, so come by Pink Tartan and get an invite from me, I can set you up with a time to get that crazy awesome make-up done, and maybe you can tell me all about what you plan to wear while dancing the night away!!

See you at the extravaganza!!

Off to the Island

This weekend my man and I headed over to Vancouver Island to visit my parents. It was the annual Fire and Ice Festival in my hometown of Qualicum Beach. The festival started in 1992, just after my 11th birthday. I have been to the festival a large amount of times, I have been in the festival with my mom's work a bunch times but I hadn't been in a few years. My man had never been and I figure it was something he needed to experience. Let me explain, Fire and Ice is Chili and Ice Scuptler contest. You get a little cup, go around and try all the chilies and then you vote for the one you think is the best. This year the cups were $3, which is a price hike since it start in 1992 at $1 but inflation and all that jazz. It was a lot of fun, seeing my town so full of people and life, bumping into friends from high school I hadn't seen in forever and sharing it with my man.

After the festival we met up with my parents(who skipped the festival) at Coombs Country Market, or as most people know it "Goats on the Roof". Its a market with a sod roof and goats live up there. Everybody loves it. In fact I worked there one summer as a buser when I was 16 or 17, then later on my brother worked there for a full 2 years...I thought he was crazy.

After the market we chilled at my parents place before heading out to the Shady Rest for dinner with my parents and my step uncle and his wife. I used to go to the Shady almost every Friday with a group of friends for 0.10 cent wings and drinks before a night of dancing in Nanaimo. There are no dance clubs in Qualicum at all! Shady is right on the water and is a great place to get a bit to eat.

The only picture I took of my mom this weekend, she does not do the dishes all the time, I swear.

Sunday and my parents tried to get out on the ocean in my parents boat they just got but the tide was too low and then when we were driving home on of the axles broke. Luckily the boat was fine but we got stuck on the side of the road for a couple hours. We did however make it home in time to have my favorite meal, with my grandparents before heading back to Vancouver on the 9:00pm ferry. It was a great weekend and a long time overdue.

Last Weekend's Rainy Sunday Part 2

Also at the Vancouver Museum is a History of Vancouver exhibit. This exhibit is there all the time so you can check it out whenever you have time. I was not expecting to see a lot of fashion at the museum but there was quite a lot, some from every era.


I am a huge fan of the fashions of the '50s so I mostly took pictures of that time period but there was some fashion from every decade start in the early days of Vancouver.


I would wear these shoes still now, they were beautiful, as were the hats. The amount of time and detail that went into the hats was amazing.


This bathing suit you had to rent at Kitsilano back in the day. If someone wore that at Kits beach these days you would notice them a mile away in the sea of bikinis and bare chested men. I am glad that these suit are not around anymore. It was a great rainy day at the museum, and as we were leaving the sun came out. So we walked up to Cornwall St to Nando's Chicken for some wings and a pint of beer. All in all a great Sunday!

Last Weekend's Rainy Sunday

I know I have been a little bit behind lately so before I give you this weekends update. I'll give you last weekends. Last Sunday my man and I headed out to the Vancouver Museum, I had never been there before and they have the Movers and Shapers exhibit at the moment, I really wanted to see it. Here are some pictures from the Movers and Shapers exhibit.

There were even some fashion movers and shapers in the exhibit.

I suggest that you head over there and check it out before the exhibit is over. It was a great rainy day activity!
