The Greatest Show On Earth












Photos Courtesy of: Madame Figaro Greece




With threats of yet another winter storm and the threatening clouds forming, my brief "spring fever" has been wiped clear of my system. I guess those bright sunny days will come along eventually. I love these photos because they don't just include my favorite neutral color, but the looks show great examples of combining your winter woolens with a lighter flair as we approach the season where flowers bloom.



... do these photos make anyone else think of Water for Elephants
I cannot wait for that movie

love, love, LOVE....
listen, download & love.



The whole CD is absolutely amazing and I cannot get her off of repeat; I simply want to belt every song out at the top of my lungs... who am I kidding, I DO!!
Adele is my winter
as Robyn was my summer.

Lately I have been super obsessed with The Glamourai
These are some snapshots from her amazing New York apartment which is everything I aspire to have in a home. I love how she makes clutter "stuff" look eccentric.

MC Gets LYX'D

Make Up by Kristen Mrazek



I was so excited when I met Lynol; finally there is a person as fashion obsessed as I am. LYX has been all over the world studying & perfecting his artistic photography. When we first met I didn't plan on being the subject for his work.

We threw together a quick shoot to get to know each other better and see how we worked together. I had an absolute blast! These are the final photos from our shoot and I hope we work together again soon.

To Be Taken Lightly
















Gone are the days of sending Blue Mountain e-cards to all your junior high besties. Never fear, I recently had a friend show me a grown up, crude version called BLUNTCARD . This website has several cards which reminded me of the terrible sense of humor my friends & I share.


The cards are NOT to be taken seriously; nothing is meant personally. Their intentions are meant in a very sarcastic, lighthearted way. I did find some cards take this over the edge and I apologize if they are found too offensive.

I've had enough....
I'm moving away from snow; well I'm at least booking an escape to the City of Sins.

Trending






My love for owls started a while back; before wearing an owl around your neck was cool. My first owl necklace was a DIY project; created out of boredom. Suddenly owl necklaces started showing up everywhere and I was relieved that I could spare myself a strenuous evening with my metal jewellery pliers.


I also love owl decor. When I find a "new thing" I go all into it; story of my life. My surprising find came when I was walking along the streets of Gastown in Vancouver. It's a store called Parliament and it definitely struck up my need to buy anything & everything owl.

Lusting & Loving








Burberry: FW 2010



Ughhh...I know it's way past its time in the fashion world but this collection still makes me drool. It's everything I want to be and more; oversized, military, earth tones, cozy couture & leather. I've been trying to find a fashion house that I could peg as my style wrapped into one; well I found it. I am Burberry right down to the Burberry Brit that is currently being soaked up on my skin.

New Year - New Shoe




HAPPY NEW YEAR
...& what a better way to start this year off than with my new shoe-a-day calendar.



A new year always means Facebook & Twitter status updates about "a new year, a new me"; well I call bullshit. I don't make resolutions because I am always the first to break them.


The first day of the new year is always viewed as a chance to start fresh with a clean slate but what about the other 364 days you have to get through. I'd be really screwed if I lived with that mentality because I mess up daily and if I had to wait a full year to start fresh, I would self destruct.


I take my new year seriously in the fact that it calls for me to pick out a new calendar; something that I will have to stare at for the next 12 months.
