Sorry no images

Weekend was too short.

Recap:

• Went to my first passion party on Friday, discovered the perfect recipe for chocolate fondue (Toblerone is involved (I KNOW! Genius.))
  
  
• Had a facial on Sat...I need to stop eating chocolate (hehe), spicy food and get more rest. The pimple popping really hurt this time, had a bowl of spicy ramen right after (fuck!)
  
  
• Went "clubbing" for the first time in a long long time, getting out was fun, didn't stay long...being there was a reminder of why I don't go to these nor do I think I fit in at all.. I have a nice bottle of Pinot Noir sitting at home thank you.
  
  
• Had the most important breakfast of the week this morning, although I now have extravagant breakfasts everyday..the one prepared by and enjoyed with bf is always going to reign supreme :), slept through the hockey game but woke up for the last half hr which I think is really what counts. Woo goo Canada!
  
  
• Love Terry's Diary, a nice scroll through of a day in the life of fun.
   
• Trying desperately to find episodes of Kell on Earth!! GAHHH I'm almost half done her book, its awesome.

I take my apology away...I have to put up an image. Cause its awesome duhh..

scrumptious weekend

So last night dom and i didn't really want to look for a place to eat only to sit for an hr and a half deciding on and waiting for our food. Instead I had this brilliant light bulb appear and thought what if we went to Pimentos, I knew of this place from scanning through food blogs and when i called to see the where the exact location was..I realized its really in a van! So we went to the vans location and the chef invited us in and watch him make a real legit homemade pizza from scratch in 5 minutes while chatting with us. It was honestly the best pizza i think either of us have had...and the most dream-like experience ever. I had 3 slices and was ready for some dessert at Nectar.

MMMMMM homeade roasted peppers, sauce and sausage, fresh fancy cheese, basil imported from hawaii on fresh dough! 

chai ice cream

and for take out we have macarons! MMMM the last 2, which were black sesame with salted caramel, were my fave and the only ones I tasted cause I share/care. btw LOVE KELL ON EARTH

the first & the last

ring i'll ever make... its 4 yrs old and so silly looking

this is not shopping

 

 today was really productive...not at work but in acquiring useful things afterwards:

• Got black moccasin fringey boots
• A JEWELRY STAND and 5$ panasonic in ear headphones (Winners baby)
• Received doms jeans in the mail and my Amazon order!
• Just ordered the last one of this Erin Wasson x Low Luv Armour Knuckle Ring SO RAD!
• Amazing Korean food..forgot how good that tasty red shit was
• Figured out what camera i want. $$$

non productive:

• It felt like christmas up until the point when i received my jeans and the zipper is defective.
  boo hoo hoo i've never sent anything back 
• I don't know html enough to modify things that tick me off, therefore settling down with this horrible spacing before bullets situation. URgh

stunning

RIP McQueen

ha!!

...worrrrdddd...Happy Friday

totally uncalled for...totally neccessary

got two things i really really needed today..its always a good pick me up to find what you want convieniently

 

  

YUP after 10 stores I finally found it randomly.

& I got hooked up with a sweet super fat braided bead bracelet from club monaco!

Hope my mood is able to pick up this weekend, always feels like a freakin' roller coaster.

got the blahs

This is exactly whats been on my mind lately, why can't everybody take a chill pill and just enjoy what and who they have at the moment instead of constantly longing for the endless things that are currently out of reach. This applies to me as well..sometimes I don't know what to even talk about anymore, I miss not caring/not wanting just living, doing what I think I'm supposed to and sharing laughs and shitty moments along the way. I guess in a way I'm still doing that now, just feels more robotic.

So I'm keeping myself busy so that I don't have to think as much and hopefully at the end of the day be gratified somehow. Simple is really the best. btw this is not a goody its a baddy!

QUATCHI TIME

At first I wasn't that big of a fan of the Vancouver 2010 Mascots...vectored characters just seemed so random.. but they kinda grew on me, and then somehow I started to looking for something with this big fellow by the name of Quatchi on it! Now hes on my back, knitted styles...I love my new sweaterrr so much and back to work I go now on this Tuesday that feels like Monday.

happy chinese new yr/valentines day

I feel lame smiling in pic by myself so um heres my awesome look.

I just received the ring today, its a friggin piece of art..kinda bummed that I won't be able to wear it later as we are going to visit multiple grocery stores. I was looking at good alternatives to uggs and some jewellery..not much luck in both. 

Last night I decided to make some cookies last minute, which turned out to take up the whole night. But at least it was a success, I wasn't sure how to get creative so I looked up "valentines day cookies" on google images so BUM cookies came up. Being the inappropriate person I am, I devoted 1/3 of my batch to these awesome bootylicious blue underwear only cookies. Anyways I'm just bored waiting for dom to pick me up, so glad we have tomorrow off, its been such a great & relaxing weekend so far :)

ya i kinda got lazy with the slr...for now

heck ya

a weekend in being lazy

1. I had my first legit spa experience this weekend, and i must say now i know why its so pricey and so indulgent.
2. Food: Loungeburger - a bit overrated, menu is super appetizing but the actual food doesn't live up nice environment tho. Spoon Me - Omg i think i need to set up a weekly budget to visit this place, me and mel inhaled our matcha and acai fozen yogurt not to mention the interior of the store, the branding is so cute and super super healthy!! Very not Calgary-like...
3. Movies: Valentines Day movie next week Yay! I love my all-star cast-romantic-mini-stories movies, it really all started from Love Actually. and after i shower i will be watching I love you New York, I'm so redundant! Also saw The Cove, very powerful movie I recommend everyone to watch it, its pretty shocking and carries some very valuable messages.
4. I've been seeing all this crazy stuff i want to buy (aka this crazy skull striped shirt, apc leather bag, big patterned sweaters (but now i like to call them jumpers)), but theres no way i can spend the money right now...my theory is that there's always going to be a million things i'll want to buy. saaaadd and there is a too much...i saw that video on perez with lindsay lohan being a hoarder, I was a bit jealous but also relieved.

anyways heres just an image recap

HAHA i'm an awesome stylist

I love this sweater, saw it on boxing day had no money...it was worth the wait since now its 50% off, i decided to style tray in it and take a really crappy photograph and do a half ass edit. :p So glad that the weekend is almost here, I am so due for massage on Saturday with the bff!

Anyways can't wait to wear this awesome slouchness on!

The ring obsession continues/phone pic diary

I've been wanting and admiring an agate slice jewellery forever, when i was in Banff a few weeks ago i was reminded of how awesome they would look on my finger and since i don't wear large bold chunky necklaces or earrings (ouch, not that i've seen any giant agate ones) i'm patiently waiting for this piece of art to make its way to my finger :D beautiful!

Also today at lunch i finally made it out for some fresh/foggy/really cold air, went to Giuseppes with some friends and had this awesome eggplant, zucchini, provolone, lettuce and tomato sandwich that was so rich you didn't care there was no meat. My only "beef" (LOL) with it was that the bread got so oily i had a plate full of broken pieces of soggy bread, the solution for this is to toast the fricken bun. I'm definitely a believer in toasted buns.

This is a snippit of my attempt to pimp up my work area in a ghetto way, I am basically at the moment infatuated with scripted type. Having these with me for the 8 hrs only makes things better, it inspires/reminds me to take time to sit down and personally explore type more by hand.

finally my two fucking favorite desserts, but recently I've discovered how nice it is to have Yogen Fruz fruit toppings rather than it mixed into the yogurt...sprinkle some yogurt chips on top and...its gone before i know it.

Can't get u out of my head

I've come across these images from the prada spring/summer lookbook so many times yet i'm not sick of them, particularly these. They are just so captivating to me, the designer in me can't help getting warm fuzzies from the awesome colors, oh and the clothes/styling can speak for themselves.

identity

• still crappy at photo taking, esp when i work during good opportunities of natural daylight
• i'm getting worse and worse at dr. mario :(
• need to come up with a schedule to start do what i want, i am inspired to do something almost everyday..no results yet
• i love how this bracelet defines me, and was put together by D-block :p i butchered it with this photo 
• breakfast is so essential to kick start my days
