Sppppppprinnngsummer.

 First Day of Spring! Suck it winter.

In honour of Spring, even though the ground is grey, the sky is grey...the world is dead (just starting to come alive again now). I thought I would wear turquoise to get me in the mood to see the flowers sprouting out of the ground. Also first time I wore these white pants since september probably. Nice they a. still fit, and b. makes me feel light and airy and SPRINGY

Today's mission after I get home from errands (I am on a mission to find the perfect piece of vintage jewellery to incorporate in to a birthday Hattitude jewellery piece gift), while I'm still at my parents home: check out the Garden after the long winter and see if any buds are up!

Turquoise. Barbados Ocean. My Fav. 

This is probably one of the only times you will see me in heels...if you can even call these low heels. 

Can you tell I have a real thing for bows?

You've Got Hattitude Jewellery

When one has a collar, one must always pop that collar.

Wearing My lungs ring again. The Watch is a one of a kind. It stopped working and no watch maker seems to be able to put a new battery in it, but I still rock it. Accessorize right?

Saturday Night....I like the Way you Move

It's saturday, so I put this oldy but a goody tune on the ol' speakers while I edited these photos, "Saturday Night" by Whigfield. I'm at my parents house for the weekend. So "Downtown" by Petula Clark didn't seem appropriate. 

I am missing the city. My car stalled last night when I went grocery shopping...not cool. In the city no need for a car...thank you public transportation. I dislike driving with a passion almost equivalent to my love for accessories. If you know me at all...That's saying something! 

Saturday night, I feel the air

Is getting hot

heading out...yellow scarf in tow

I wore out a grey blazer jacket so don't worry,
the scarf totally appropriate

 Like you baby

I'll make you mine you know

 I'll take you to the top

I'll drive you crazy

Glasses give the illusion that sometimes you might know what you are talking about

Bracelets and rings are key to any outfit

 Saturday night, dance, I like

The way you move

buttons down the side...my fav

 Pretty baby

It's party time and not one

 Minute we can lose

Be my baby

bows are neat, wacky, creative and above all 

Flats...comfy = ideal

soon there will be blooms!

It's spring...should probably start the ol' sewing machine up again

Saturday night, I feel the air

Is getting hot (Great Song)

Ring: I received a double lung transplant last summer, I dragged my oxygen to the pawn shop down the street and purchased this ring 3 days before I got the call that saved my life...it looks like two lungs :)

Polka Dot Underwear

I have not posted an outfit post in awhile. 

Today was a casual day. Cardigan and comfy jeans. I mean these jeans are so comfy  I think I have worn them so much they have lost all the strength to them. I feel as if I am constantly pulling them up off my butt, but hey, they are damn comfy, so I will continue to wear them until there is a hole in the crotch, and the world sees my polka dot underwear. 

 The lighting was off today. It was overcast, so some of the photos are altered to attempt for the non sunny day. Just as I was beginning to get used to wearing only a cardigan and spring jacket... I heard it's suppose to Snow. Did anyone else hear this? Please tell me it ain't so! Have we not had enough of winter?

 I am counting down the days until summer. Favourite thing to do in the summer time??....okay go.

Mine is swim in Georgian Bay lake, at the cottage, on a TUESDAY afternoon.

This is crazy, wild, behemoth, insane....and a little bit scary, but mainly just absolutely insane to watch. What talent.

The academy awards ladies and gentlemen...

I hosted an Oscar Party last night at my condo. Here are some photos from the evening, snapped by Rachael Grice photographer extrodinaire. 

Sooo the Oscars were last night...I dunno. Kind of a flop if you ask me. Franco I definitely think was smokin' something in the back room, Anne tried to over compensate for his lack of awareness (and eyes) as a host. To start the night off right...we had to get who everyone was wearing...

Prizes from the Oscar Party

They tried to get a cheap laugh by having him dress up in a woman's outfit....real crowd pleaser.

Every year me and a few girlfriends get together to watch the Oscars. We've started dressing up outrageously, having prizes for best dressed, as well as most oscar pick wins. I found my dress at 60 Vintage on Bloor street, originally $120....I got it for a steal of $15.

I thought the Oscars opened, pretty funny with the movie montage from the movies, especially when it got to the part with Anne in the 'Black Swan' part saying " and now...the dance of the brown duck" another perk...we got to see Mr. Franco's backside, but here's the kicker...IN TIGHTS. haha

I wonder where the A team was though? Where was Jack Nicholson smirking in the front row as always? Where was Jolie and Pitt fixing eachothers clothing, looking all cute? Where was the woman who has won the most academy awards ever....MERYL Streep? Hello? Did their invitations get lost in the mail this year?

smouldering eyes

BEST photo ever. We would probably have been invited to ALL the famous parties had we been in hollywood that night for the awards instead of in Toronto

we got some props out...dreaming of being actresses

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

doing what we do best...being goofs, in our high class outfits

Workin' it for the camera

Red Carpet Shots

 I thought the missing celebrities at the awards was not the only thing lacking, for those that did go to the Oscars, the red carpet was also lacking. Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit, takes the cake and the award for best dressed. She blew me away with her elegance, grace and glamour for only being 14 years old. She looked stunning in her dress. I love that it is above the ankles. She even said she drew a dress dreaming of going to the Oscars and then this one was made up for her. Fairy Tale. Here's my best dressed choice for the Oscars 2011.
