THE CHARLOTTE ROOM IN TORONTO

Last night a group of our friends meet up to play pool and hang at one of our favourite bars (in Toronto), The Charlotte Room. I didn't get pictures of everyone but luckily got these beauties snapped of "Andy" and I, with a cameo from "Tysow!"






BOSK AT SHANGRI-LA HOTEL TORONTO

Yesterday Stephanie from Oh Heel No! and I lunched with our work colleagues at Shangri-La Hotel's Restaurant, BOSK. It was a fabulous lunch, the food and service were superb! I hope to go back in the near future even if it's just for drinks, I really enjoyed the lighting and laser cut wood decor.

DOWNTON ABBEY SEASON 3 BEGINS!

Tonight Season 3 of PBS' Masterpiece Collections TV series, "Downton Abbey" premieres! I found out about Downton Abbey from European interests I follow on Twitter a few years ago. I bought Season 1 and 2 on iTunes, and enjoyed watching every episode it truly is a must-see story. Season 3 begins in the 1920's among many, many other details (i.e. Shirley MacLaine joins the cast), that I don't wish to analyze here but wait to see tonight what happens, and what is yet to come!  










FASHION FEBRUARY 2013 ISSUE

This past week I received my copy of FASHION Magazine's February 2013 issue. Here is a glimpse of fashion, accessories, beauty moments I really enjoyed.




Nathan gave me DOT by Marc Jacobs fragrance for Christmas, it's a beautiful scent!
Below, another memorable presentation for Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection. Designer behind this collection for LV? Marc Jacobs, of course! 



Above: Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2013 look above is to die for. I want!!
Snakeskin patterned magnetic nail polish by Essie. I really want to rock the blue colour shown. It's called, "Snake It Up."



Above: Bedroom Dressing designer fashions, I do adore this look. Dries Van Noten is one of my all-time favourite fashion designers and the look above which I would wear in a heartbeat is from the designers Punk-inspired, Spring 2013 collection. 


Pictures from FASHION Magazine's 35th Anniversary celebration. I also attended this event with colleagues/girlfriends of mine. It was a fabulous party and everyone in attendance was in the best of moods. Check out my pictures, CLICK HERE.


I would love to try on the H&M blouse below. I like mixing prints and this blouse makes a fun statement. I wonder what it would look like on..





Patterns, statement jewelry, dress up it's a beautiful life!

FRIDA + DIEGO AT THE AGO

Today N8 and I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario to see the latest exhibit, Frida & Diego. We had recently watched the documentary, "Frida" on Netflix so went into the gallery with a fresh idea of what to expect. The exhibit was set up in chronological order and it was extremely thrilling to see both of their work evolves over time.  



Frida Gingerbread Cookie! It was really delish!



Coming soon to the AGO, "Revealing the Renaissance: Stories and Secrets from in Early Florentine Art." Showing March 16, 2013 to June 16, 2013.



ANTIGUA HONEYMOON + BIRTHDAY TRIP!

4 weeks from now N8 and I will be vacationing in the Caribbean! We pushed our Honeymoon Getaway until Winter 2013 for a few reasons, beating the "Winter blahs" was one of them. We also choose our getaway at the beginning of February because my birthday is February 5th and because it's my 30th, it was excited to hear N8 suggest celebrating it in Antigua! I have been doing A LOT of research and only because I love discovering new places and having some understanding of the streets and locations people may refer to. In addition to using our $100 Spa Credit with the resort and my plans to book an ATV Adventure in the Rainforest, I have read a lot of information on Antigua's English Harbour which is another activity that was just added to the list.. The list isn't a MUST but just ideas so we don't let anything slip our mind if we are in the mood to be adventurous. I wonder what we will end up doing... Looking forward to it!
