Question
If you’re wearing something vintage, and someone compliments you on it, can you say “oh this thing? I’ve had it forever.”
Here's a Question:
When you’re staying at someone’s house is it ok to wash your underwear and hang it in the bathroom?
No?
Didn’t think so!
NYFW
The thing I really miss about not being at NYFW is all the fun parties where I get to network and meet bloggers I’ve been reading. The rest I might be able to catch online anyway.
TIFF
Going to a Toronto International Film Festival party tomorrow night - think I want to wear my new grey silk dress and so the nails will be navy I’m thinking… Choices were: Butter London’s Big Smoke, and OPI’s Russian Navy… right now I’m leaning towards Russian Navy because it’s dark and a more complex shade than the Butter London’s. Sparitual base...
Argh!
Sometimes I want to KILL whoever invented Flash! When I’m on a website, I’m not there to watch a slideshow or annoying butterflies flit across the screen, I’m there for information and I need it soon!

Meet the Friends
It’s fun meeting friends of friends for the first time - there’s the instant reaction to trying to be super-friendly because you feel like you already know them, in a way. And then there’s the let-down when you see that you don’t already know them, and oh yeah, you don’t know any of the inside jokes or the relationship between them all. But all in all, at the end of...
Share
I always share my lipgloss and always have. Sometimes it’s just fun to use something that’s someone else’s and really, what connects girls more than lipgloss?
Want...
I really want to interview some celebrities about their makeup… I want to chat with them about the things they like and why they like them. This needs to be done in the coming weeks..

Prada is making some movies to help launch their new fragrance. Hopefully the fragrance will have been worth all the trouble.
Take Care of Your Guests
I went to a highly disorganized party on Friday where there were 300 people and nobody in the family gave a monkey’s about any of the guests. It was, of course, catered, and the food was good except that it was cold when it was finally served and there was nobody in charge taking care of things. I stood in line for dinner for an hour and when I was near the front, the lady of the house...
Blueberry Nights
The other night I started watching “My Blueberry Nights” and after 20 minutes turned it off because it seemed to be rubbish: one of those movies that quietly prods along without gathering any momentum and thus not going anywhere.
Then today I went to the video store: walked by it and noticed a little Cannes label signifying that it won something or was nominated.
So, of course,...
What a Day
Yeah, I’ll admit it, once in a while I royally f*ck up and this was one of those days. I went to meet a work associate at the wrong location of a store and didn’t realize it until I got there, called her repeatedly and realized that we were both technically standing in the same place and couldn’t see each other.
And yes, she was pissed on the phone but ever so sweet when I...
Penelope
I’m watching Penelope right now, and I have to admit that I only wanted to watch it because Russell Brand is in it. OH yeah, and I watched St. Trinians last night for the same reason.
Media
Tomorrow I get to see and mingle with all my media friends! I’m going to miss those guys.
I Am Out of It
After years of reading blogs religiously, and I mean, daily keeping up with some great writers, being on the pulse of whatever was going on, it’s all over. I don’t read anything online these days, not even the news, and you know what, I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
On the one hand, I know that it’s because I’m really busy these days and that is...

Even Chocolate
Seriously, everything is better fresh. I’m eating chocolate from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate company where they actually make the chocolate in house. I have never tasted better chocolate in all my life and it is amazing! It’s so soft and full of flavour and I just want more and more. Mmmm, I’ll never go back to Lindt after this!
Addicted!
I tried really hard not to have a coffee today - just lost that fight.
The Girls are Over
So, the two girls who came over are absolutely adorable. Not that I didn’t expect them to be. But I mean, I adore them, and want to spend time with them. And they are very clear about what they want to do while in town which is Shop. That makes things so much easier because you can think of good shopping centres or malls for them to go to so that they can get exactly what they want.

Spending $400 to fast is beyond ridiculous to me.
Perhaps for people with money to spend, that amount of money isn’t such a big deal.

Guests!
This week means that there are a bunch of guests coming to stay with us which is great. I mean, it’s great because it means that something fun is going on, but what sucks is that they’re all coming at the same time and that some of them are coming on short notice. Stress!
Of course, this time we’re more prepared - I’ve stocked up on food of all kinds, and all I have to...
I Love The Kids
So a couple of weeks ago, I was a special makeup guest as part of this program for young girls. My job was to do their makeup, and because I have so much of it I decided to give a lot of my makeup away too!
A lot of the girls were super-shy and had never worn makeup before so it was fun to make them look all grown up. They were so cute and one of them couldn’t believe that she was getting...
gap to incorporate subbrands into main stores →
Damn right it won’t affect the consumer - the consumer doesn’t shop at the Gap!
sarazucker:
the economy is taking a toll on many major brands, and this is just another example; gap is closing some of their baby gap and gapkids stores, along with their other subbrands. this change shouldn’t affect the consumer.

SATC
Yes, I watched the show but I will see the movie on DVD. Anything that’s so hyped will only under-deliver.
New York Look
So I’m watching “What Happens in Vegas” (I know, I know, but I wanted something lite!) and it’s funny how each city has a look. They made Ashton look really “New York”. I mean, he’s still Ashton, but the bad haircut that’s just a little too long, and him being really laid back and all… as soon as I saw him I thought “Oh, ok, this guy is...

“There’s a 250 in every business.” ‘250’ is a term that’s used in tech circles...”
– Patricia Handschiegel Haha, this is so true! I always try to explain it to people and end up talking about the “bubble”. You live in this bubble where you know certain people really well but outside the bubble nobody really cares. And there really is one in every business.
Regis and Kelly
lolliblog: I have only watched the Regis and Kelly Show a couple of times so it’s not like I’m an expert or anything, but the two of them remind me of an organ grinder and a monkey. Specifically, they remind me of a long-suffering organ grinder and an epically annoying self-absorbed anorexic monkey. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that Regis’s role...
Smart Women
I had lunch last weekend with a really smart woman. She knew her shit inside and out and tried to make it to as many events as she could. She also had a new job that she was proud and excited about. What she really made known to me is that your time is valuable and if you’re doing work for someone, make sure that it is recognized in some way. Don’t let people walk all over you and...
I Hate Telemarketers
I just answered the phone to a telemarketer and instead of saying anything after the initial Hello I just remained silent. The guy stayed on the phone for a minute just saying Hello. And his Hello’s got higher and higher each time he said them.

Getting Old
I had a late night last night and this morning had a difficult time getting out of bed - this never used to happen! Previously every time I had a late night I would be up at 6 or 7 the next morning no problem! A cup of coffee later and I’m finally just beginning to feel more like myself.
Whateva.
If I mention Jake and Amir and people give me a confused look, I totally judge them.
That Ain't No Couture
Today I was looking at Indian designer clothing online with my mom and was appalled to see almost every one use the term “haute couture” or just “couture” to describe their collections. Anyone who knows anything about fashion and design knows that you don’t just throw the word couture around. To even use the term haute couture to describe your work, you have to be...
Beauty Tip #2
Clinique makes some of the best moisturizers on the market - whether you have dry, normal, or oily skin, you should check them out. They’re unfragranced which makes them perfect for someone with sensitive skin and they don’t clog pores. The Moisture Surge, Anti-Redness Relief, and Antioxidant ones are some of the best.
Really? Best?
I was talking to friends the other day and at the mention of Lars and the Real Girl the words “best movie I’ve seen all year” left my mouth. Even I was surprised to hear them, but you know what, it really was the best movie of the year.
I Know Some Nice People
Family friends heard about good news and stopped by today to give me a little present! It was so sweet, and completely unexpected. They have three little kids - 2 of whom are so sweet and the other one who can be a terror but is hilarious and adorable in his own way. What was great is that they are like family. Me and the little kids cooked together and had fun in the kitchen and we all caught...
