20 November 10

We woke up at Pia's on Saturday morning to find a thin blanket of snow over Yaletown. Kids were going nuts building snowmen in the park across the street. We decided to go for breakfast at The Elbow Room, which was pretty spectacular. Later I went to Grandview Lanes for Amanda's birthday, and then dashed home to get dressed for Jesse's James Bond vodka-tasting party, photos of which can be found here. We tried nine different vodkas, and I didn't even have a hangover!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday! I love hanging with my family and pigging out. :) I also love the excuse to be cheesy and say what I'm thankful for. Not that I really need one...

I'm thankful that I don't have shoes that remind me of a turkey. Sorry Givenchy, you got it all wrong.

Or these scary beasts...

I am thankful for shoes that use feathers tastefully. Like these by L.A.M.B.

But more than that, I'm thankful for my health, my AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING husband, my family and friends (including all of you of course!) and my cutie little puppies that are trying really hard to reach the turkey on the counter top. Not gonna happen guys.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

All I Really want for Christmas...

...is a SET set, rent money, maybe some new socks, and some time with my family, accompanied by good food. Shiny things are nice, but I think I prefer having total control over where my money goes over having lots of stuff I wouldn't ordinarily buy for myself.

These are beautiful, but I don't even know what I'd do with these if I found them under my tree. Cry, probably.

Weep with me, children.

For All Those with Thick Hair

Thinning shears(or thinning scissors as I like to call them) should be used to thin out your hair. I suggest Massugu thinning scissors as these scissors have been designed specifically with the beginning hairdresser in mind. These are simply gap-toothed scissors that cut only half the hair. These also come with various gap sizes, depending on what you need cut away.

I've seen how many people struggle with thick hair and I can just imagine the pain it is to manage it, hope this helps.

Pia hosted a girls' night/sleepover at her apartment. Heather and Calan were also there. We played silly games and had a few drinks and realised how old we all are when we were ready for bed by 1:30, whereas as teenagers we had no problem staying up til three or four.
This is Heather having a cigarette out the kitchen window.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy eating everyone!

facehunt me

Usually I post my outfits in chronological order, but since the next couple waiting to be posted are kind of boring, I decided to save them for when I have W1Ls to post with them. So this is what I wore to the Face Hunter event, my miniature recap of which you can read at the bottom of this post.

My hair was really dirty so I tried to hairspray and backcomb the ugly out of it, but I ended up kinda looking like I was wearing a wig. Oh well. This is the very outfit that swayed me into my frumpy phase.

I love it.

Sweater: thrifted. Peter Pan collar blouse: French Toast uniforms. Black skirt: hand-me-down. Blue tights: Forever21. Bag: thrifted. Oxford: Payless. Necklace: grandmother's. Rings: estate sale.
