Home is where the art is


I am obsessed with old creeky character homes built from 1910 to 1915.  Our current home was built in 1914 and nothing beats the beauty and character of heritage homes.  The sad reality in Calgary is most peeps would rather tear them down and build cookie cutter infills.  Sigh. 
It will be a fight with the husband but I hope to never live in anything newer!

Totally going to the William Duma Inner City Homes art exhibit at Wallace Galleries showing October 29th - November 13th, 2011.  If you love vintage home uniqueness you too should check it out!

I Dream In Black and Gold

I am now the proud owner of the newest Rebecca Minkoff studded bag. 

I am in lalalove. 

The leather is buttery soft and the studs and tassles combo is a dream come true.

I can't find it anywhere online, so you'll have to skip on down to Holt to grab yours!



I'm also obsessing with my growing House of Harlow jewelry collection. 
My arm party is looking more and more fab!
Bangles $79 & $116 found HERE and HERE
Horseshoe Necklace $113 found HERE

Many Rhianna fans came to her defense with my last post.  I do believe she is trying to gamorize something horrible, but none the less, I appreciate the opinions and appreciate peeps taking the time to read my blog!

We are off to a early Diwali party this eve!

Have a great weekend guys!

Rhianna the junkie.

Rhianna has come a long way from her times of singing about her
Umberella-ella-ella-a. 
A long way, DOWN that is.  The last couple years she has side tracked from being a cute pop star into a decline of her deperately trying to be racey and edgey.  I'm not sure what world she is living in - but trying to glamorize drugs, abusive relationships, being high and overdosing is hardly sexy and hardly cool. 
There are millions of little girls looking up to her and millions of families destroyed by drug addiction.  It's disgusting that she uses it as entertainment.  While the song is catchy, she is disgusting.  If I had a daughter I would be horrfied to have her look up to Rhianna.


Try being a good human being Rhianna.

Hermes Crave or Save?

Ever since I saw Kim Kardashian sporting her's on KUWTK I've wanted my own Hermes Medor Collier de Chien Bracelet.  Unfortunately I can't justify the steep price
aka my husband would have a heart attack!
  Apt22 has a similar bracelet which is gorgeous! I snatched up a dark brown one for a so reasonable price of $58!!!...and since APT22 only carries very limited pieces in the store I suggest you get yours ASAP! 

  APT22's owner Kim Stern does all her buying in LA and the girl's got wicked style!  The store is filled with her handpicked items...super cute blouses, dresses and tons of cute jewelry, perfect for layering!

Top Shop Van

This past wknd was spent in Van with my fav gf's.  We ate lovely dinners and drank copious amounts of wine.  We stumbled home at 6:00 am...I am amazed I could keep up! 







Of course I had to check out the much anticipated arrival of the new Top Shop boutique in The Bay.  While obvs not yet comparable to the Top Shop's in NY and London (it's only a small section in The Bay) it's def worth checking out! 
I scoped a pair of magenta tights and a cute animal printed mini skirt.

  








I fell in love with these scallop over the knee tights but they were sold out - because they were so fab!



I just realized there's a recurring printed animal theme going on here!  I must be on a kick!
