gifts for under the tree

This weekend is the jewellery show! 

I have 80 necklaces, tons of bracelets and a lot of earrings to view and purchase for Christmas (or treat yourself!)

Make it easy this year, get complimentary gift wrapped boxes to go straight under your tree for those you love!

Top of the morning darlings (for some reason this hat makes me want to speak British, proper and have a horse?) 

I saw Lykke Li, she's gone a little too dark for me on stage, but to my greatest surprise First Aid Kit was her opener. Have you heard of First Aid Kit? They are a mix of country, folk, pop music. They're two beautiful swedish girls. They put on such a good performance and were just loving being up there. Maybe I was just loving seeing them? I think I'm a concert junkie? They're one of my favourite bands, and I was completely left in the dark that they were the openers for Lykke so what a grand surprise. I have to say I think it's one of the greatest feelings in the world when you walk in to a concert and one of your favourite bands is the opener! 

If your looking for something to do this weekend and want to support a local artist come to my Jewellery show (November 26th and 27th at my home) and get some gifts for under the tree, drink some cider and eat some cookies. Check out some of my collections online at www.GotHattitude.com They are all one of a kind, and TONS will be unveiled at the saturday and sunday show!

I've been in the studio working all weekend. Here's a quick little photo, sorry it was taken on my phone, of one of the latest pieces! GAH they are all so gorgeous I don't know how I am going to part with them!

I had a lovely little tea party with two of my good friends. Nothing says winter after a light snow dusting then a spot of tea. Has anyone ever been to high tea? It's one of my favourite things to do around Christmas! I love dressing up in the vintage hats and totes, dresses and fur coats. Plus what's better then crumpets and tea? 

I also just got the news one of my best friends is staying in nepal where she is working for the umbrella organization! She volunteers at an all girls home, helping out children and young teens. The stories she writes to us are astounding, including killing a goat for dinner! She has just had a whirlwind experience and got offered a paid position over there. She has found her niche. I will admit I did have a little tear in my eye when I read that she is staying over there for another year! But I'm really happy that she has found something she is so passionate about. 

Cheers Niamh. I love you wild child! So happy you found something you love doing and are so enamoured with and passionate about!

You can't just walk out of a drive in...sandy!

Here are my halloween photos! a week later! (sorry) I had a halloween bash. Halloween is my favourite time of year. My boyfriend and I spent about 10 hours decorating the place? It was SPOOKTACULAR. We even had a grave, with a body parts clawing out of the ground as you entered my apartment. 

I went as Sandy. My boyfriend was kind enough to go as Danny...isn't it awesome to have a boyfriend who will dress up as a your danny for you on halloween? He's a keeper. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Christmas time is just around the corner. I'm busily working on my  jewels for a show I am having on November 26th and November 27th. Beside the fashion show in the summer, this will be the place to see, browse, view and purchase some of the new brilliant and bold jewels! Check out my Facebook page for my jewellery. Click here.

It turned chilly again! I was in Quebec for the last couple days, on a little family vacation in Montebello (longest car ride of my life) Beautiful weather though...seriously 16 degrees in November? Unheard of. But I like it. I dig it.

Couer De Pirate tickets are on sale. She's playing a few shows in Canada, lucky me, it's close by! Have you ever checked her out? She's beautiful, and very fitting since I just came from Quebec where it seemed all we tried to do was imitate and speak French. http://www.coeurdepirate.com/

I started playing in a volleyball league! I know...me playing volleyball? Sacre bleu! Tonight we are down two girls. Time to pull up my socks and bring my a-game. In all seriousness, I'm probably the worst player. But what I lack for in skill, I make up for in enthusiasm. 

the girls on the v-ball team!

Incase you missed the show, here's a sneak peak of what the Lady Team + Nik (13 of my girlfriends and Nik) did this summer. We had 500 guests, and raised over $27,000 for cystic fibrosis foundation of canada. We were able to start a new 'sponsor a family' program and helped a family going through transplant. It was an amazing night. Not to mention the 8 fashion houses were hot hot hot! 

I'm off to get some halloween decorations for the party on friday. Halloween is my favourite time of year! I thought about going as a zombie....but as my mother once told me...you always want to look cute on halloween. She speaks from experience when one year she went as the three little pigs with her two girlfriends. This year me and my boyfriend are going as Sandy and Danny from Grease. I like to go blonde on halloween (last year I was cinderella) since I probably never will get to in real life.

I'm alive! I'm back in action my friendlies... I took the summer off because I was crazy hoopla busy organizing and running the 2nd annual Couture for a Cure Found Fashion show (I'll do a blog post later this week on it! ) Can I just congratulate the Lady Team on all their awesome amazing fraggle rockin' bomb work they did...we raised over 27,000 dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and had over 500 guests in attendance! CRAZY!

check out this little promo teaser video a talented group of guys from Different Level's production created! If you ever need an event for them to film, these are your men! SO much talent! and SO fast, this was up within a week of the show!
