OUR VANCOUVER VACATION

We didn't announce our pregnancy to friends and family publically for quite sometime, because we wanted to surprise our friends and family who live in Vancouver. We had a vacation booked for the beginning of July and managed to keep it a secret until we arrived. Here are a few pictures from my iPhone I took for my journal/blog. 

Hello Vancouver!

Surprising my friend, Norma. 

Hiking with family.

Our friends Scott & Tanya are pregnant, and only 2-weeks ahead/apart from us!

Went to visit my Uncle and Auntie at their resort by Cultus Lake. 

Last night in Vancouver. Saying goodbye to Norma. 

Until next time Vancouver!

MEETING CELEBRITIES IN TORONTO!

Last week I attended Bell Media's Fall 2013 Television Presentation. At the after-party I met, Dave Foley!!! I grew up watching Dave on TV whether it was Kids in the Hall or News Radio, I just had to get my picture with him. 

Last night N8 and I attended The National concert here in Toronto. It was a free show put on by, North by North East (NXNE). N8 hooked us up with VIP area passes and we enjoyed the show side stage. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Jessica Pare! I felt bad bugging her, but had to take a picture with Canada's hottest actress and a beloved character of the Mad Men TV series. She was lovely. I thought the night couldn't get better, and then I saw Dave Foley again!!! Didn't bother him for a picture this time, but we did take a picture together for a professional photographer.

MY BEST FASHION MOMENTS OF 2012

This list doesn't account for all of my favourite fashion moments of 2012, but a great list of highlights pulled from my blog/journal.

January 2012

On Monday, January 23rd I was featured on CTV BC's Morning Show asking Randy Fenoli some Wedding Dress questions which also displayed a picture of me. Randy said any dress I wanted would look fabulous on me. With a comment like that, it was definitely a highlight of the year!

February 2012

On my birthday (February 5th) Nathan took me to Buffalo, NY so I could shop the Jason Wu for Target collaboration collection.

Also for my Birthday my bestie, Andrea had given me a Gift Card to one of our favourite stores, ZARA! I used the gift card to buy this incredible tweed jacket (below) that reminds me of both Chanel and Angel Food Birthday Cake!!

March 2012

March 8th I hunted my local H+M down in hopes of a piece of MARNI for H+M that I could own. This 100% silk blouse was a MAJOR score!

April 2012

I refreshed the denim in my wardrobe with 2 new pairs of Fidelity jeans, and my first pair of Franco Sarto leather footwear.

May 2012

For my Bachlorette and Wedding present my bridesmaids and best girlfriends took me to Las Vegas to have some fun. I can't decide which look here is my favourite. The 1st picture I'm rocking my new silk Marni x H&M, patterned skirt, and the 2nd is my H+M ikat maxi dress I wore Saturday night when I decided to get a new tattoo!

June 2012

Wearing my souvenir clock necklace I bought at Marie Antoinette's house in Versailles, France last Summer (2011). We went to Versailles the day after Nathan proposed to me under the Eiffel tower.

July 2012

Wearing a collection of my favourite pieces; my Kara Laricks (Fashion Star Winner) blouse I bought in Las Vegas!, patterned pants from Zara, my Franco Sarto Sandals, and my Longchamp purse!!

August 2012

As our Wedding approached Nathan and I treated each other to some gifts. Here are a few Coach handbags my babe gave to me. 

September 2012

September 1, 2012 I married my best friend and long time lover (9 years dating) and couldn't be a happier woman. Our Wedding was perfection and I'm so happy with my Wedding Dress and Bridesmaid dresses I choose for the big day. 

October 2012

Early October I was blessed to score a few bracelets from Anna Dello Russo's collaboration for H+M. It was a popular collaboration and I was worried I wouldn't get any pieces I liked by the time I'd get to the store so, my friend Andrea came through for me and picked up what I wanted during the morning rush. LOVE...

November 2012

Not being able to attend the opening of Maison Martin Margiela for H+M's collaboration, I stopped by my local store at lunch and managed to buy this dramatic red dress.

December 2012

Honestly the best day, Christmas Day! Nathan and I had a lot of fun shopping, wrapping and giving each others presents to one another. I am a very lucky girl.
