House of Harlow 1960 by Nicole Richie.

Nicole’s line debuted at Kitson’s online boutique in 2008 and is now available in many online stores as well as Holt Renfrew.  Her pieces are  lively and extravagant. One of my favorite pieces is this 4KT Gold-plated Peacock Cuff, for me is has the best of both worlds- its a peacock (I adore peacocks) and its gold. The cuff itself sells for $189.00 where the price range for jewelry from House or Harlow ranges from $25-$220.

This is the smallest and most adorable hair dryer I’ve ever seen which makes it ideal for travelling-just throw it in your bag and go! The vintage floral design is super fun and makes a bold statement. It is complete with dual voltage circuitry, two speed settings and is lightweight.———————–

Myself, like most females carry their lives in their purses (hair brush, makeup, cell phone) why not throw a mini dryer in there as well! It is practical for many situations, for instance, you just finished getting ready for a special event and its raining outside and you forgot your umbrella…(we’ve all had this happen!)… what do you do? You wouldnt even have to ask this question if you came equiped with your mini dryer- frizz problem solved.

The fashion world lost a shining star yesterday, February 11th as McQueen was found dead in his London apartment. He was truly one of the most brilliant and versatile designers ever. He was recently best-known for his lobster-claw shoes that he presented in his spring 2010 collection in Paris. Lady GaGa rocked a pair in her latest video “Bad Romance” and have also been sported by Kelis at the Data Awards at Los Angeles.

“In a world where every man and his dog is a designer, Alexander McQueen was the real deal,” said celebrated hat maker Philip Treacy. “His talent was supersonic.”

Twitter has been flooded with tributes to the designer:

• Joel Madden: “R.I.P. Alexander McQueen. You were one of the best man. Always hoped to meet you.”

• Donatella Versace: “Alexander McQueen was unique. His imagination had no limits, he had an amazing personality and his creativity was genius.”

• Sofia Nolan “The pink sheep of the family” –Alexander Mcqueen, describing himself. R.I.P. to a very charming man.

• Kelly Osbourne “i am so so sad to hear the news of Lee (Alexander) McQueen! i really just dont know what say im really in shock.”

Alexander McQueen, you are without a doubt an inspiration and one of my favorite designers. RIP you will be remembered. xx

I’ve always had a love for Jimmy Choo shoes but that gradually faded when Jimmy Choo decided to launch a line for H&M this past November. I couldn’t believe that such a well knowen and respected shoe designer would stoop to quality of H&M.
The day of the launch I hit up the Bloor Street location in Toronto to check them out for myself and I was so disappointed in the entire line. The shoes looked cheap and felt like barbie plastic. Yuck.

With that huge mistake behind them (in my opinion) I was totally shocked to hear that Jimmy Choo is now collaborating with Ugg!! Seriously?!..please someone give me permission to vomit now. There are five styles of Jimmy Choo Ugg boots that are set to launch this coming October. I don’t know about all of you, but I really do not know what to expect…but I’m sure it will be horrifying.

A few nights ago I feel in-love with these leopard ankle boots from ASOS and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them. Everything about them sucks me in- from their fabulous print to their height and their style. They are 100% leather and have a hidden platform design to create the ultimate comfort. These are a must for my footsies!

2010 came in with a bang, and it has brought a lot of changes as I’m sure most of you will agree!
I strongly believe this to be a year to focus on moving ahead and bettering myself. With that realization, in late 2009 I decided to pick up my life and move it to another province to get an education. For the next year or so I will be in Newfoundland, and although NL has a lot of great things to offer it is drastically lacking in the shopping department.
Being the shopaholic that I am I’m having the urges to buy, but in my current location I have no where to shop! This would be a problem but thankfully I have my personal shopper Victoria to keep me sane.
The following images are just few of the items she has purchased for me.

The bow sweaters are from H&M, while the necklaces and earrings are from Forever 21
Their boxing day sales are still continuing and I would strongly advise you all to check out their amazing deals and find fab things to fill up your closet!

Blue nail polish?
I was never a fan of blue polish until I discovered “Blue me Away” by Sally Hansen, now I rock it frequently.
For those of you that asked me what color I was wearing in the false lash tutorial, this would be it!

Back to top

I adore false eyelashes and I rarely go a day without wearing them, but they can be a little tricky to apply. If you are new to applying and feel frustrated because you just can’t get it right, don’t give up! Practise does make perfect! Check out my tutorial below:

Tips

● Apply liquid liner along your lash line before and after applying false eyelashes. Doing so hides any visible imperfections and will add a more polished touch to your lashes.

● Before you add glue to your lashes measure them and make sure they are a perfect fit to your eye. Trim access carefully.

● After you have lined your lashes with adhesive let them dry for approx 30 seconds or until the glue starts to turn clear. If you apply your lashes immediately after adhesive application it will be more difficult to place your lashes exactly where you want them.

● When your lashes are in place they can always be maneuvered closer to your lash line with a pair of tweezers or fingertips.

● If you are only planning on wearing your lashes for a one time use, you can apply mascara for an extra fab look! It will make your lashes look more dramatic.

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Whitney Port or her show, but upon viewing this upcoming seasons preview I have a feeling I might change my opinion on both those topics. ”The City” premieres tomorrow September 29th on MTV and I’ll be tuning in to give it a second shot..atleast I know it can’t be any worse than last season, nothing happened!
Check out “The City” Season 2 trailer below:

Judging by the clip, I get a totally different feel and vibe than season 1. It actually looks interesting! For those of you that watched “The City” last year know exactly what I mean… Whitney couldn’t have been more boring. Is she finally stepping things up?
What do you think?

Shoppers Drug Mart is my weakness, whenever I go there I always spend much more than I should on things I don’t necessary “need”. When walking by I often have to stop myself from venturing into the store doors, but I can’t help but wonder what new gadgets and products they have waiting for me. The whole “stopping myself” tactic rarely ever works, and I have my reciept from yesterday to prove it. Thankfully I did’nt go overboard on the spending, but I did come across these two items that I just couldn’t say no to:

The blue case is an eco friendly lunchbox by Fuel. It is the perfect size to fit a sandwich and a small snack. And unlike tupperware containers this clever lunchbox is a one-peice that opens and shuts, so you will never have to go looking for the proper size lid! It also comes in three other fun colors, salmon, orange and lime green. I will be putting this lunchbox to the ultimate test when I pack my lunch tomorrow to go to Toronto Island.

Ok so it’s pretty obviously that the other item that I purchased was a nailpolish (as if I don’t have enough), but I really fell inlove with the color. This pink is a new shade by Revlon called “Sweet Tart” #185.
I am currently wearing it, and to be honnest I’m not very impressed with the outcome when applied. The color hasn’t let me down but the unevenness of the coats aren’t up to my standards for a nailpolish, but then again nothing is better than OPI.

Wearing my denim leggings on set! The pair I am wearing are not the exact pair that is in the garage photo on the left, but are very similar.

Although some people think that the denim legging trend should have never came into existence, I think just the opposite! While hitting up the Eaton Center last weekend I got my hands on a pair from Garage and I couldn’t walk out of the store without making the purchase. Their cost: approx $30. I absolutely love them! However I do agree with many people on the topic of these faux denim wannabes. They do not look good on everyone and you do have to have the right body type to pull them off. Besides the fact that they are incredibly comfortable they also have another bonus-no ugly pant button bulge!

I rocked my denim leggings last Tuesday on the set of a spec Nokia commercial shoot!

Denim Leggings- Love or Hate?

Today while chilling at the lake I spotted a couple searching the beach for something and they seemed very determined to find it. Me, being curious asked what they were looking for and if they needed help. They responded with a “no” and further explained that they were simply “geocaching”. I’ve never heard that term before and was still confused as to what they were actually doing.

Geocaching, that I now refer to as “Tub Hunting”, is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices.

I didn’t know that this game existed and I am very intriged by the whole idea. Geocaching is my opinion is similar to hunting for burried treasure. The basic idea is to find containers, called geocaches, in your area (or all over the world) hidden by other players and claim it’s contents! Geocaching only has one major rule!-If you take items you must replace them with something of your own . The containers or tubs can consist of just about anything, such as personal notes, jewelry and anything you want to share with the world. I was told by the lady that I was speaking with today that she once found a $10 Tim Hortons card in a geocache she found!

In order to play this worldwide game of “hide and seek” you first have to sign up for an account (it’s free!) to be able to access the treasure map. The only qualification required to play is a GPS, as this is how you get clues on the items location ware abouts. If you do not have a GPS you can download the geocaching app for your iphone! Info on this app can be found here.

I have signed up for an account and plan on participating in the fun. “Tub Hunting”… my new hobby?
