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!!

Pink Tartan

I recently got a new job working at The Bay for Pink Tartan and have been training like crazy. I am very excited to be out on the floor on Tuesday. I was out on the floor on Friday for a Pink Tartan special event that was held in my area. It was very exciting. The designer/co-owner/president of Pink Tartan, Kimberley Newport-Mimran was in the store giving a mini fashion show, talking about the fall trends, and meeting customers. It was great to meet Kimberley, she seems like someone I could easily be friends with and that makes me job of selling her line easier. I can sell something I love and support. Here are some looks from the Fall 09 runway show. Come by, say hi and check out the rest of the collection on the 3rd floor at the The Bay Downtown.

Lazy Sunday

I have been crazy busy this week, with getting a new job and school work. I am currently trapped inside by a retail math assignment. I am not good at math but I think I am starting to get it. Here is what I am wearing on this lazy day.

Target Market

I am back in school and it is great to be working the brain again. Unfortunately I am busy with projects already and it is stopping me from updating as much as I would like too. So here is a set made from a paper I handed in on my target market. Maybe you're my customer?

DIY Earrings

Sunday night I thought I would whip a new pair of earrings for going back to school. I stopped at the bead store and got these beautiful back beads. They were $2 each, and I love them. The whole process took about 30 mins and cost about $5. I can't wait to try making some more. Lately I have been feeling super crafty and have so many DIY projects in my head. So many ideas so little time! Stayed tune fore the next project!

Tall Socks

Saturday was the final game of Kegball of 2009. Kegball is a game my friends and I put on a couple times a summer. It is as it sounds, a keg of beer, always from the local Granville Island brewery, and a game of softball. There are trophies, a bbq and much more fun to be had. This time I wanted to be a bit more "dressed up" and here is the result!

Man, was it a fun outfit and a great game! Till next year, PLAY BALL!

Mintage Make-Over

After a LOOONNNG day at work I remembered I forgot to get someone to take my photo. Sorry these are not the greatest but I had to show you this dress. I got it at Mintage for $18 on the sale rack, and fell in love with the pattern but I wasn't sure what I would do with it. It was about 8 inches longer and that made it kinda old looking. See what a little hemming or alterations can do. Last night I measured, cut and hemmed it into a really cute mini dress. I love the pattern and I am so glad I gave it a new life.

Puddle Jumping: The French Version

Got up early today to have breakfast with my friend, Ali, before heading off to work. It was drizzling a little so I whipped out the new Hunters. It is starting to get a little chilly here in the city of Vancouver but not so much that I need to be worried about my bare forearms. After breakfast it was off to the Salvation Army, where I got a great beaded vintage clutch that needs a little repair bead work. Then work, which was not fun as it was SATURDAY, but I did get to see my friend, Stephan, who I haven't seen in over 5 years! It was great! Now I am off to have Thai for birthday dinner, then some dancing. Yup, its one of those busy, busy days!!! More photos tomorrow!

GAP Jeans

I recently bought a pair of jeans from the GAP, which is a store I only go in if dragged in by someone else. Their stuff has NEVER fit me well. I do not have hips and every thing seems meant for a more curvy body, which I think is great but does not work for my body type. Well my friend, Jen, wanted to go to the launch of the new GAP jeans so we went. I bought the "Always Skinny" jeans and I am very happy with them!
