Candy Cigarette


Sally Mann is my fav photog of all time.  
Her 'Immediate Family' collection is ethereal, beautiful and bordering creepy, which is just the perfect mix, I think.  The first pic below 'Candy Cigarette' is by far my fav.  Gorgeousss.

Stiletto Fit

Do you girls remember the 'Gettin' In Shape Girl' collection from your childhood???  Every single Christmas for as long as I can remember my favorite family member would buy me the newest work out set. It consisted of a hot pink matt, hot pink dumbbells, hot pink water bottles, hot pink jump ropes....you get the jist. Every time I got a new set I would die of happiness. 
When I first heard about Stiletto Fit - it instantly reminded me of my old 'Gettin' In Shape Girl' memories...
of course - a little sexier...and minus the hot pink hair scrunchies and leg warmers!

Shattered Friday Nights

Have you tried the new OPI Shatter nail polish?  
While a little juvenile (ie. not office appropriate) it is so much fun!  
It's like a 80's dance party on your finger tips - perfect for a Friday night dance floor.
 I scooped a bottle in black.  
Grab yours and get shattering!








p.s. the best song to go along with your 80's dance nail party 
(and should be the soundtrack to your life) is here:

Pretty little piles of plates

I have a pattern that when I love something, I hoard piles of it.  From gold baroque frames, vintage candlesticks to tea cup plates and mismatched intricate dinner plates...I just can't seem to say no.  I search for ways to re-purpose these things to justify coming home with them on a weekly basis.  
Sometimes I hide them and hope AVi won't notice.  




Tea cup plates used to organize jewelry (and I also use them as soap dishes).  
Very essential and totally pretty!  

dishes: head over to your nearest Goodwill
jewelry:  House of Harlow, vintage, Apt. 22, Michael Kors

My No's of SummSummSumma!

My 5 Definite Don'ts of surviving our brief YYC summer

DON'T #1 
The flatform.  Self explanatory.
Just say no.  



DON'T #2
A jean skirt. It's not cute.  In any length.  In any wash. NOT WITH A COWBOY HAT.  It's not flattering.  If you're over 15, it's a definite NO. NO. NO.


DON'T #3
Forcing people to see your underwear while in line at the grocery store.  
I get it.  We are all desperate to wear the super cute summer pieces we have stockpiled in our closets for the (combined total) two weeks of Calgary summer.  But be aware of what you're really putting out there when wearing your cute little white dress.  Not even Audrina Patridge can get away with it.


DON'T #4
Bra straps.  Don't be lazy.  Hide them.  
If they are clear straps, tell your pimp I said hello.


And lastly...DON'T #5
I would say the majority of the fashion world would adamantly agree that Uggs are UGG-LY.  I however, understand as a Canadian woman, the need for them during our freezing ass winters.  While not pretty, there is nothing better than being able to slip on your Uggs as you warm your car up in the dead of winter.  If you hate them, I get it.  I will NEVER defend them.  That being said, Uggs anytime there is not snow on the ground is a gross violation of what is already a slippery slope.  
Uggs with shorts?  And maybe throw in a Coach bag? Shake my head.  
Why do Calgary girls love this look so much?  It is a definite don't!


Happy Summering!
