Go shorty, it's your birthday

In the past my birthday would be a insistent weekend long affair.  Like most girls, it would involve a fancy supper, a Tiffany box, excessive wine, and a head splitting hangover.  Avi was out of town, so my 29th bday weekend was much more low key.  I re-arranged my workspace (a huge task!), re-vamped an old dresser, scoped Kensington for Open Houses, dog parked and slept in until noon.  


The perfect birthday weekend.

Re-vamped OLD dresser 

(And from Av...a GIANT elk head...THEE BEST GIFT YET!)

And a somewhat organized workspace!
(dark snaps, I know...but I'm a tired girl!)


Happy MONDAY!

So happy I could die

Happy in the club with a bottle of red wine

Stars in our eyes cause we're having a good time

So happy I could die

I have a little bit of a girl crush.  
Or maybe it's a boy crush.  
Or maybe it's a he/she was born this way crush.  


Love her or hate her, she's breaking world records and Lady GaGa just doesn't give a f*ck. 


While I may not understand the meat dress or her insistence that Jesus is from New York City, it's pretty damn hard to deny how fab she is.
The world loves the new Madonna.

AFW 2011

Alberta Fashion Week is here!  

AFW 2011 takes place May 16-21 and is being held at the Nat Christie Centre, the home of the Alberta Ballet company. We pre-viewed the venue this past Monday, and I think it will be gorgeous. Think Black Swan ballet bars and mirrors minus Mila/Natalie.  I'm most excited to scope Apt. 22's summer pieces, as well as the featured designer Lilly Maks O'brien's ethnic inspired designs.

AS WELL, the wonderful Kim Flanagan is hosting the Opening Night!  Don't miss it!

AFW Tickets range from $25-$28...awesome price peeps!  Get tx, sched and more info here:  http://www.albertafashionweek.ca/events

I’m just a speckle of dust in this gigantic world

It rained today, and I discovered black tea with honey.  Life changing.  

And, there is nothing more romantical than a sad song, when you're not sad.  

  

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Death by Marchesa

Finally.  Wedding dresses I would die to wear.  

I would fall asleep, dream of and wake up with a incessant rotation of boring dresses stuck in my head...so for my sanity, I stopped looking altogether.
Wedding dresses/Bridal Shops/Say Yes To The Dress = What nightmares are made of.  

Then along came Marchesa.  Each dress is so detailed and delicate and dreamy...

And SO un-wedding dress-like.  

I have fallen in love.  Over and over and over and over...

Which ones are your favs?

LiLo in Blank Magazine

Everyone's favorite train wreck is in the May 2011 issue of 

Blank Magazine.  

She looks gorge and I am a definite sucker for headbands, gold sequin rompers and fake smoking shots.  

Here's to hoping she gets her sh*t together...

I could def use some more *sober* Lindsay Lohan in my life.  

Check out more pics in this month's Blank Magazine.

Dust and Sunshine

I have spent the day drinking mass amounts of tea and hanging with my d-o-g Bentley...the last few days have been pretty mucky outside, so Bentley smells like dust and sunshine.  I am madly in love with him!  

Our house is pretty eclectic...when I decided to paint our walls black, my almost-mother-in-law looked at me as if I were crazy, but was too polite to say so.  The end result is actually quite pretty and suits us just perfectly.  Who wants beige walls!? 

I am posting a few of the many things I love in our home...from my mass sequin dress collection to my Grandmother's Book Of Mormon with her beautiful handwritten notes...

I hope everyone enjoys their Easter Weekend!
