GIFTING DAY 6: baby it’s cold outside

I’ve never really worn ear warmers (muffs?) before, but the other day it was snowing/cold and I didn’t want to ruin my hair. So, I took the 180s I goti n the mail out for a spin. My beautiful yellow leather bag is by Canadian designer Nella Bella. I wasn’t sure at first if they were my thing but they’re cute and they kept my ears super warm. The ‘not ruining my hair part’ was also quite important. I find it pretty rad that they have ones like this WITH  earphones. I need those. I have another pair that are brown suede, kinda dressier. I wore with a long coat and a hat and I was super warm. In Canada you can get them at The Bay, Sears, Mark’s Work Warehouse and Zeller’s or online at 180s.com. Today there are five winners. Each person gets a pair of holiday ear warmers in Rhododendron Red, Snow White and Kelly Green. These 180s make good  presents/stocking stuffers. Shipping is included so you might get them in time. To win today’s contest, leave a comment below with Twitter, Facebook or DISQUS and tell me: If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? Contest includes shipping and is open to anyone in Canada.

GIFTING DAY 5: you thirsty?

Earlier this year I went to New Zealand for New Zealand Fashion Week. It was an amazingly awesome trip. Words can not explain all the fun things  I did, the photos and blog posts will give you an idea but you need to ask me in person to really know. Thank you to Patty Huntington, Anna Jobz, the whole NZFW team, designers, sponsors and people I met for making it so freaking awesome-never-forget-fun. Today I share with you a story and a something from my little wee wine library. My most anticipated show for NZFW was Stolen Girlfriends Club.  It was the show I knew I’d like. This pic is me after the show w/ Venus who was my totally awesome Minder for the week. The fashion show ended with a cannon of confetti and roses. A cute boy caught a rose and gave it to me, there was glitter in my hair. I sat front row and centre and we were all in  an old theatre. Someone pointed out that the girl on the poster for the show looked kinda like me. Pretty neat. This was the final outfit.  The models all lined up then the ‘couple’ came out last.  That’s when the cannon went off. I love the clothes they make, the jewellry and how they put on a show. So hot. You know who else was there that night? And who had been tweeting away becoming friends before I even arrived on the scene? Kim Crawford Wines. (Found out the other day K.C Wine is Mum’s fav from NZ!). The people were all so nice and it was a pleasure meeting them. Everyone drank out of  little jars, it was fun.  The other day I recieved a case of Sauvignion Blanc and Pinot Noir from Kim Crawford…

GIFTING DAY 3: let’s play.

I love it so much that I own the men’s one for myself. Ladies, the Play for women is also quite lovely. I have it too, been wearing it lately. I’ve been helping people smell great with products from Parfums Givenchy for the past three years. THANKS GUYS! To see all the goodies check here. The bottle for Play is designed by french artist and designer Serge Mansau and the celeb spokesperson is Justin Timberlake. That’s sexy.

stylus for iPad is real neat guys

Yep, its way easier to cut copy paste which I was having issues with before. I feel more creative now. Is it the ipad or is it the Mac product with my stylus and accessories that make using it a pleasure?  I reckon both. Sitting across the row is an older man, about Dad’s age, business suit, writing notes on a pad of paper. I glance over and think, “Man, what are you going to do with that paper?” the pages are ruffling and he’s got all these papers and they are in a stack on the seat beside him. He sips his wine. I drink my beer.  He is clearly not enjoying this trip as much as I am. It’s neat the difference in age and generation. Never had a job where I would write things down like that. I’ve always had a laptop or blackberry. It’s five years ago, six in January, that I started my very first full time job. That year I also started blogging.   We arrive in San Juan later today. I don’t think I can give up Internet for a few days. I’ve got to many exciting things to share. This IS my life and I am “L.I.V.I.N”. iPad makes me wat to write more stories. 2011, I’m gonna write more. Well, more than I do already!  Love you. Bye xo P.S. Porter doesn’t have tall cans anymore. Probs a good idea. Last time I went to Boston I got wiki-wasted.  Posted from my iPad at over 30,000 feet!
