The December Issue

The December magazine issues are always one of my favorite of the year, Im not sure exactly why but I guess just the whole holiday season is exciting all the glitter and glitz, and all the cute party dresses or yummy appies. One of the main things I like too is its really finally feeling like winter, so all the cozy knits and chunky scarves just look so appealing. So this year I googled the covers of the December issues since I couldnt quite wait until they came out.. and unfortunately this is what I found:

Can someone please inform Elle that its December and not July. Whats with the cover? I obviously cant speak for everyone but I dont like this at all for December, maybe for June or July, but for right now it would turn me off buying it.

Now I know this isnt a magazine cover but these ads are rocking the winter feel, the cozyness even though its snowing, hot chocolate, cute lab dogs, congrats Michael Kors, you are totally making me want everything and just kicked Elles ass!

I cant wait for snow!!

And dont forget about the giveaway!!!

Giveaway!!!

Hello everyone, I hope you had an awesomely spooky Halloween even though it was on a Sunday night! Hopefully you got some treats, sadly my mom has gotten me seriously hooked on english toffee, just the kind of addiction I need. I really didnt do much, I never get very into Halloween, if I do I've got a pair of cat ears on standby to be an easy costume. Anyways now that Halloween is officially over and done with we can just kick all those on-sale candies to the corner because I know the stores are going to be going full out Christmas, I was already listening to Christmas carols in the mall on Friday! I lovee the Christmas season but honestly it seems like they are trying to push it too far. I actually saw 2 rows of Christmas items at Costco in August! Yeah.. August!?

Anyways since everywhere is ahead on the holidays I guess its really awesome that DesignerApparel.com has given me an opportunity to host another giveaway! One lucky winner will get a fabulous early Christmas present, the House of Harlow 1960 Tribal Print Ring, awesome right?

If you haven't heard about Designer Apparel its kind of a made easy online shopping centre. I dont know about you but I could seriously care less about shopping online if its difficult or hard to find things. Plus my least favorite thing is not knowing if somewhere else has the same thing for cheaper. Thats why I think the price comparison, free shipping and sale notifications are seriously awesome tools to have! Be sure to check out our awesome hosts because they do have pretty much everything you can think of; BCBG dresses, I actually just got some really cozy knit BCBG dresses, yay! (plus they always have so many perfect holiday type dresses) Also an awesome selection of Michael Kors Handbags, and Burberry Coats!

Now the rules! Be sure to follow because otherwise I can't include your entry. Basically just leave me a comment, you can say anything, tell me something new or just say hi, maybe something you would like to see from my blog.. But most importantly leave your NAME and EMAIL so I can contact you if you win. Also this contest is only open to readers in the US and Canada!
Goodluck everyone!

Your last chance to enter the contest will be Monday November 15th at 11:59pm where I will randomly select one winner!

Follow me on bloglovin' or blogger for hopefully some more awesome contests!

October 22

So last weekend, I felt all excited because my cold was finally easing up, then just as I think I've gotten rid of it, Bammm full on sick again and worse than the first time around, seriously not fun. I was home for like 3 days not doing anything, not talking, pretty much just sleeping. So tonight even though my cough was still lingering around to choke me I went out for dinner (halls and pepsi, do not taste good together in case you were wondering) followed by a trip to my favorite little town for hot chocolate at my favorite bookstore/cafe.

Our weather has been soo unusually warm lately and they keep blabbing about how this is supposed to be our "coldest winter in 55 years," but honestly I cant remember the last near end October where I could go around with no jacket and not be freezing. But Im getting sick of it, I want my cool weather, I want to wear all my cozy sweaters, toques and boots!
And I loveee this sweater that Tao Okamoto is wearing, perfect colour!

Joe Fresh

Hello everyone I know its been awhile since I've posted but it honestly feels like just a few days ago, time has honestly been going sooo fast its hard to believe. My school week is only 4 days, and it seems to blow by, and before I can even enjoy the weekened its already Monday again! This semester is going to be over before I know it.

I hope you all had a great Holiday weekend and had good Thanksgiving dinners, I know mine was good, although turkey-less ;) I also of course got sick, but at least it was only minor, it seems like there is a really bad cold season going around right now.

So of course I had to do a little shopping on the weekend, one of my favorite spots has actually become the Joe Fresh clothing in Superstore. For those of you who have never heard of Superstore, its pretty much a giant ugly, busy grocery store that I've never liked. They always used to sell clothing, but over the past couple of years they've really stepped it up and come out with this new collection called Joe Fresh, which sells pretty reasonably priced items. So I thought I would share their latest commercial with you guys!

Berries

If I had $30 to spend on lipgloss, I would most definitely buy this perfect berry shade of gloss by NARS, love it!

made by me on polyvore, I've been having a lot of fun with polyvore lately, photos from Simply Susie

Alsoo, check out this song by Bedouin Soundclash! Their new album just came out this week and Im loving it!

Sept.28

Soo its only been a few weeks into school and I already feel really behind, I dont even know how that is, I just feel like I've been procrastinating everything lately, even though I haven't. Its weird. I also feel so insanely drained of energy and I blame it on this annoying weather we've been having, its been really warm yet wet, I hate muggyness, my hair also dislikes it. Has anyone ever seen that episode of Friends where they go to the bahamas or something and Monicas hair goes insane, I feel like Im a toned down version of that.

I haven't even gotten around to watching hardly any of the spring 2011 shows! Although I did catch Burberry and I must say Im in love! I didnt think it would be possible to top fall and the amazing jackets, but I thought the show was amazing, especially the jackets! Real posts coming soon, I promise!

Oh yeah and check out this tat I saw while cruising tattoologist, thats definitely some dedication? I dont know if thats the right word, what do you guys think?

Lovvvve

So happy the weekend is here! Even though its supposed to rain Im really hoping the temperature gets cooler soon, I've been dying to wear some of my fall stuff and today was so freakin warm! Its always opposite when you want warm you get cold, when you want cold you get warm!

Anyways, as some of you may know Im a complete ring addict, they are easily my favorite accessory. So I have to share this picture of Abbey Lee's rings, I would loveee to know where she got that turqoise ring!

*ring ring* h&m is on the phone

As Im sure most of you have heard by now, H&M's latest collaboration is with Lanvin, which Im pretty sure everyone is insanely excited about, no!? The only thing thats keeping me from being too excited is the fact that there will probably insane line-ups, and Im pretty much not a fan of line-ups, meaning if its longer than 20 minutes, nothing is probably worth the wait for me. But I guess it kinda depends on the previews, I cant wait to see them, maybe they'll be so awesome I'll actually break my line-up rule! Collection is out November 20th for Canada/US and the 23rd for the rest of the world!

September

I apologize for being a terrible blogger lately, I've kinda been all over the place, getting ready for school, failing at keeping my promise of not buying anything, and other non fun stuff possibly involving a little something called work.

I thought Id show you a couple of my latest purchases starting out with my newest addition to my rings =)



Another ring by Shablool

Now I have to goto sleep because I have school tommorow! =( How did September come so fast?

Birds, Birds, Birds

So I've banned myself from stores for a couple of days to gather my senses. The fall stuff is just too much for me, the boots, the jackets, the colors, the chunky knits, I want it all! I would say I've tryed to avoid online stores as well, but that would be a lie because it didnt last even a half day.

During that half day I ended up looking on the Tattoologist, which became slightly addicting, its making me seriously want a tattoo, but for now I think im just too undecided when it comes to lifelong decisions like that. Im thinking someone needs to come up with a better temporary tattoo that lasts about a month or two, that would be really cool. Im thinking I would get a bird of some kind or a feather or something else whimsically.




Some of my faves, especially that last one!

I Need these!

Chunky knits, and lots of them!!

Sorry I've been so MIA, its just been insanely hot so I've been really lazy. I also went to Seattle for a couple of nights and got some pretty sweet deals that could never be had in Canada. And Im pretty sure Im actually addicted to Tims Ice Caps.

Wandering

Since getting back into the internet groove I've been really looking into all things fall. I can't help it, this seasons fall stuff has me very excited! I decided to play around with polyvore a little more so I could make some collages.. Im still very much a work in progress, Im very slow at adapting to any new programs.

Anyhow I decided to make a little collage with one of my fave photos from an editorial I showed awhile back and stick it with some of the boots Im most excited about this season. I actually picked up the dark brown Tommy Hilfiger booties in navy blue last year at Ross for only 15.99, so excited to get wearing them this fall!

Back

Kinda sucks getting back into reality, being blissed out in the heat floating on a lake or being surrounded by amazing scenery kinda kicks the ass of work and the reality of being back in the city. Its also somewhat harder adjusting to internet than I always think it will be, weird because I usually spend a lot of time consumed, but once you break free of not having any its kinda nice for awhile.

Since getting back to the internet I've been catching up on all my usual blogs and sites, checking out whats new. And even though Im enjoying the warm summer weather I cant help but be more excited than usual about whats in store this Fall. Is it just me or does this falls items seem even more appealing than usual?

Im especially loving Topshops collection!

So what are you guys most excited about for fall?
