To Russia, with love

My roomies & I had a Christmas house party on the 23rd with all our friends. We turned our living room into a dance floor again and everyone brought yummy treats to snack on. After a few drinks, I felt it was an opportune time to test out my faux fur hat.


Everyone kept petting my head and saying I looked Russian. So I spent the night working on my Russian accent! It was super fun and great to see everyone before the Christmas madness.

Bustin a move!

Merry Christmas xo

I'm just at my parent's house in the suburbs and blogging in between presents & dinner. I apologize for my photo's quality lately. I got a new camera and hadn't taken the time to figure out settings etc., but I think I have things sorted out now!

Adam's company took us all to Whistler last weekend for their Christmas party. It was tres fantastic, they put us up at the 4 Seasons and we had a big dinner/dance on the Saturday night. I even saw Queen Latifa & her girlfriend...I only said hello though. My camera batteries had died...oh the irony!

The dilemma every year is what on earth do I wear to someone else's work Christmas party? I ended up playing it safe with a sexy detail like lace, but in a very conservative style. There are always those girls, however, who miss the memo on class and show up in their barely-there clubbing dress (and cheap heels). I think it is more about looking effortlessly fabulous. You have to know your audience!

I call that picture The Craft in honour of its eerie tones and the 1996 movie.

Merry Christmas my lovelies. I hope Santa treats you well XOXO

birthday celebrations

I bought this dress back in August and justified my purchase by saying I'd save it until my birthday. There was one close call when I insisted I had absolutely NOTHING else to wear except this dress, but I kept my promise and saved it for such a special occasion. I can't stand scrambling around shopping for "the perfect dress". It was so much easier having one all ready to go in my closet!

The dress is from Barefoot Contessa (Main St & Commercial Drive) paired with red lips, dark purple nails, simple diamond earrings, & a butterfly ring from Forever 21. The next time you want to go out dancing in Vancouver, I highly recommend Fortune Sound Club. It is a great venue...exactly the kind of club this city was in desperate need of.

It remains a mystery why alcohol makes me think that making ridiculous faces will translate well in photos?!
