The Prodigal Grayson Son

Anyone watch Revenge on Wednesday? Spoiler Alert: REJOICE! The Prodigal Grayson Son LIVES!!!!!!

Which means we get to look at Joshua Bowman for just a little bit longer. I don’t mind that. Edit: Who do you think shot Tyler? Amily? Daniel? My money is on the Sensei, you go Sensei! (Get your head in the game, Emanda!!) Is Nolan in cahoots with the Sensei? Comment below! SO MANY QUESTIONS. 

I know this blog isn’t dedicated to fan-girling, but I couldn’t resist. Plus, whoever styled him at this shoot done good. BOYS, take note.

HAPPY WEEKEND :)

RUZE Fashion

RUZE Fashion hosted their anticipated product launch party at Lucid Lifestyles this weekend. One of my good friends from b-school is one of the brains behind this venture so I was there with bells and whistles! In other words, this sh&t is dooooope!!!!! But let me tell you why: RUZE is a line of funky and functional messenger bags, laptop sleeves, and cosmetic cases made from recycled vinyl billboards. It takes ~70 years for vinyl to decompose in a landfill — read: BAD NEWS BEARS for the environment — so thought behind it is, “why not take something that’s supposed to be trash and turn it into something functional that you can use everyday (and save the planet too)?” Everything deserves a second chance!!! Edit: unless you’re Chris Brown at the Grammys. That is NOT okay.

You can read about their awesome story here and buy their products here (Lucid Lifestyles on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, Eleven:Eleven boutique in Calgary, and Angela’s Attic in Bragg Creek). SHOP LOCAL, KIDS!

peachy mint

2 of my favourite colour trends this spring are peach and mint (Ellie Saab’s Spring Couture 2012 line was filled with peaches and mints!) While I’m averse to incorporating pastels into my  wardrobe for fear that it will look too much like a bag of Cadbury Mini-Eggs, I’ll most certainly be wearing some of these colours on my nails.

For some reason, I couldn’t find Essie’s Tart Deco ANYWHERE in Edmonton and so began a 2 year rampage to find a dupe for it (with no success), which means that I’ve accumulated quite the collection of pastel orange-corals. Only recently did I happen to stumble upon Tart Deco (at Shoppers Drug Mart) and of course I let out an audible gasp… and maybe did a little happy dance in the middle of the cosmetics aisle :$

{ “peaches” }

Top to bottom, left to right:
Joe Fresh “Tomato” *favourite
OPI “A Good Man-darin is Hard to Find” *favourite
Revlon “Make Mine Mango”
Essie “California Coral”
Joe Fresh “Coral”
Essie “Tart Deco”
Revlon “Peachy”
Sally Hansen “Snappy Sorbet”

{ “mints” }

Top to bottom, left to right:
Revlon “Jaded” (the only true mint colour in this set)
Essie “Turquoise & Caicos” (robins egg blue)
Revlon “Whimsical” (not mint-coloured at all, haha! Just thought I’d throw that in there cuz it’s in the light blue/green pastel family and yes, it’s a dupe for Deborah Lippman’s “Glitter in the Air”)

What colours are you excited to wear this spring?
