German news gives FB thumbs up!
I’ll update this if something mind blowing happens like Facebook breaks the internet or the stock market crashes.
Exciting week just passed and I am SO ready for a getaway! Tomorrow I’m scooting up north to the countryside with Barbie to a friends cottage. Give me nature, lake, silence and sunshine. YES PLEASE.
Ate pretty healthy this week and went running a few times. Feels good to hit the pavement.
Got a haircut at Darren’s Studio and had my first spring picnic in the park.

Discovered the spot where my next Dear Photograph submission will be taken from. Turns out Mum used to hang out exactly where I like to hang out now. Her photo is from the ’70’s I think. Mum, can you confirm? Check out the skyline, or lack there of!
Please be careful this weekend, wear sunscreen, don’t drink & drive, and play safe. May24 is the kick-off to summer, make it a good one! Next weekend is Memorial Day in the USA and I’ll be in the sunshine state soaking up Florida rays. Can’t wait!

Spring is my fav time of year, there’s nothing like flowers, fresh cut grass, and fashion. I love digging out the box of summer dresses, rompers, and shorts that hide under my bed most the year.
I’ve partnered with Sherway Gardens to share my favourite spring trends and help style up a lucky person like you. Here’s three of my favourite trends this season. Contest entry details below!
Sheer – I’ve been picking up sheer items since my last trip to New Zealand for fashion week. Long skirts, drapey blouses, sleeveless shirts and anything that flows nicely in the wind. I love the way something sheer has a certain innocence while being slightly sexy.
Look for lots of bright colours & prints and have at least one skirt in rotation. You’ll find a great selection of sheer tops & bottoms at American Apparel. They have the maxi skirt in a selection of shades.
Short Shorts – I’m a big fan of short shorts because they’re fun to wear and make your legs look long when you throw on some heels. My tip is to make sure you don’t buy them too small, try the next size up when you’re shopping. You want to be cool & comfortable not stuffed in!
I got a great pair of denim cutoffs from Victoria Secret. When you’re at Sherway Gadens try VS and American Eagle. AE has a ton of styles including drawstring and white denim.
White Lace/Chrochet – Did you notice this trend at Coachella or SXSW? I’ve got my eye out for a cutesie white crochet number. I’ve seen this on Pinterest in collars, bathers, blazers, tank tops and platforms. Chill out, it’s the 70’s! You’ll find this look at Guess or Costa Blanca.

Quick note! A former colleague contacted me last week about this SUPER huge online lottery called The Bille (bill-eee). I was like, WHAT? An online lotto? That’s ABSURD! We used to work together in online gaming so I know there’s lots of red tape around this kinda thing but it is TOTALLY legit. First draw is June 7th, more info at thebille.com.
Tonight I’m 1/10 Canadians to co-host in the Bille’s online ‘Twitter Party’, hosted by BlogWest Media. Party starts online at 10pm EST. AKA the pants free zone where you don’t have to leave the house!
During the event they’re announcing a HUGE search for a blogger to be their full time Community Manager and there is a huge salary involved. Blogger contest is only open to Canadian’s at the moment so, if you’re not from here, you better marry a Canadian real fast.
Tonight’s online event is your opportunity to win some moolah in the form of Visa Gift cards.
What else are you doing on a Wednesday night? Oh, that’s right, you’ll be online just like me.
Something pretty exciting happened today. It’s to do with Coral TV and involves the internet and a friendly, little, blonde blogger you know. Ok, that’s all for now.
I shall leave you with this AWESOME cover of LMFAO’s Sexy and I know it. Enjoy!
Get up, put on your shoes and go outside. Hit the pavemet. Feel the sunshine. Soak it up. Let your mind wander. Sing. Smile at strangers. Breathe, let go. Be productive. Work hard. Drink water. Give thanks. Be positive. Relax. Rinse, repeat.
This is what I call productivity, Ultrabook, Macbook, iPhone, coffee. Huzzahhh!
Having my hair done this afternoon then heading to a talk for 6pm.
Was at the beach this weekend soaking up sunshine and taking in the breeze from the lake . I’m so ready for summer to get here. Sunnies are the best accessory a girl can have, after sunscreen. I recently picked out three styles that I totally love: cat eye, high fashion, and vintage feel. They were gifts, thanks Lumette and Clearly Contacts. Took these photos yesterday, enjoy!
Derek Cardigan Sun 7005 – Brown Tortoiseshell – $59.00
Cat eye is so hot right now. I love pin-up girl style, they remind me of the 60’s. A fav style of Nicole Richie and designs by Tom Ford. These ones are designed by Derek Cardigan from Vancouver, I interviewed him a couple weeks ago.
Lumette, Vedrina – Storm Cloud – $220.00
Based in NY, Lumete is a fav of Dita Von Teese. Sunglasses are handmade and the lenses are hard coated CR39 to avoid scratches. The hard clutch case is shaped like a butterfly. These ones are so beautiful & stylish.
Perry Ellis Demi Blonde – $135.00
These ones remind me of a vintage pair of Ferrari glasses I had years ago. They’re a an aviator shape with greenish grey lenses. Frame is tortoise acetate and matte gold metal.
Top – Audrey from Bicyclette, Jeans – Cheap Monday from Peacock Parade, Converse ‘Dainty’ in Banana
