Last week I was invited to speak at the monthly Vancouver Blogger Meetup along with 3 other local fashion bloggers. I was honoured to be asked by Raul at Hummingbird604 to participate in the panel. Raul contacted me because he wanted some diversity on the panel and felt my 40+ perspective would be a good addition. [...]
On my way home tonight I finally stopped at the huge Value Village near-ish my house. I came home with a vintage polka dot scarf. Polka dots are hot for fall and I love them even when they aren't. Plus the $2.99 price tag made it an easy decision. Yup feeling pretty proud of my [...]
So my netbook had a mini breakdown during Blogher. I can't blame it really it was a crazy busy trip with blogging on my lap in the backseat of the Traverse and then all those sessions and parties. The unfortunate result was that I couldn't download any of my outfit pictures after the first day. [...]
I have to admit I get a lot of email in my email box everyday. And a lot of that mail was from daily deal emails. And while I love getting a great deal for something I need, the email was overwhelming. Back in April I was introduced to Mydealbag.com. It aggregates all the local [...]
Last week my son was sick, so it is logical that I spent all this week sick. So I haven't had the brain power (head to full of... well you can imagine) to write any posts. But I'm tired of seeing my silly Iggy Pop post from last weekend. So here is a video done [...]
Not sure how I got on the mailing list for Man of Action Figures. But I have to admit to loving this Iggy Pop figure. I've always had just the tiniest bit of a crush on Iggy. Even though I'd likely be too scared to talk to him in person. The figurine doesn't make him [...]
Today I do something I don't normally do on this blog. I celebrate a celebrity's 40th birthday. And a male celebrity at that. But I would not be honouring my anything by "Joss Whedan" obsessed self if I did not mention that this paricular hottie is now 40. So Happy 40th Birthday to Nathan Fillion! [...]
I was only able to attend one night of the Vancouver Eco Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 shows. But I was excited that the evening included one of my favourite local designers Margarita Angelatos. Margarita designs two lines Red Jade and Peridot Kiss. And once again she didn't disappoint. The Red Jade's Fall Winter 2011 line was [...]
@monkeemamanaomi was the winner of the 2 tickets to the Vancouver BC Opening Night of the Cirque du Soleil KOOZA show on July 22nd. She was chosen randomly from the 40 entries. I loved her story so I thought I'd share her comment about her circus experience and a dress that she is going to get to wear again. [...]
Update June 19th - @monkeemamanaomi was the winner of the 2 tickets to the Vancouver BC Opening Night of the Cirque du Soleil KOOZA show on July 22nd. -- I remember as a little girl being so excited about going to the Circus. I'd wear a party dress and my little black patent "mary jane" party shoes. My [...]
