Philip Sparks FW 2011 – fashion week begins @burroughes

Models look prettier when they smile.

Burroughes is good for parties, not as good for fashion shows.

He did this pose for me and smiled right after. Eye contact.

Glitter, Julio.

I looked like a Nana. Vest knitted by a nana.

Yannnnnnnnnnnno you giant, you totall missed Puma Social. Duh!

Hi Tristan, nice hustle.

Daniel and I worked together at Gap in Kitchener when I was 16. First job ever and to this day one of the very best. I made connections there that will last a LIFETIME.

Work it gurllllllllll.

Hey Hawley.

The end.

How much of a difference does my new camera make? Like a zillion. Thanks Olympus!

Canadian Olympian @Maelle_Ricker and me! #video

Wha, you don’t know who Maelle is? Lemme remind you.

Maëlle Ricker is a Canadian snowboarder who is awesome. She won Gold in snowboard cross at the Winter Olympics in Van last year and is the FIRST Canadian woman to win a GOLD at home in the Olympics. Majah win. Way to go sista!

Thanks Maelle for answering my questions 🙂

If you figure out how to harness the power of female customers, you can rock the world.

This article I read on TechCrunch called Why Women Rule the Internet is very interesting. It kinda make it seem that women do all the buying of pretty things however, I firmly believe that women play a huge part in building relationships & spinning the social web.

Some things I found interesting:

  • Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and Twitter …the majority of all four properties’ users are female. Make that “horsewomen”.
  • Women played a key role in the early days (of Facebook) by adopting three core activities—posting to walls, adding photos and joining groups. (Why the guys came!)
  • The average social gamer is likely a 43-year-old woman.
  • Women follow more people, tweet more, and have more followers on average than men.
  • Women are thought to be more social, more interested in relationships and connections, better at multi-tasking.
  • Women are the routers and amplifiers of the social web. And they are the rocket fuel of ecommerce. The ongoing debate about women in tech has been missing a key insight.”

those shoes are pretty sexy

Can you guess where they are from? No really, guess.

I don’t usually shop there but it’s super affordable. I think my darling Sabrina will be proud of me for these babies. I don’t wear heels that often. They look so sexy  and I love that feeling but got damn sometimes they kill your feet. We’ll bust these out when it get’s warmer.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING.

The shoes are designed by Christian Siriano for Payless, the youngest winner of Poject runway. Yay Generation Y! I don’t watch the show but I deff know someone who does. When we were coming home from Puerto Rico in December we met a guy from the show and Ellen got her photo with him. What was his name E?

Popular for designers to do a line for less ex. H&M, Target, KMart. Remember how crazy everyone went for Lanvin H&M? CRAZY.  I went for the wildest & highest heel I could find!

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.

Title is a quote by Cyril Connolly an English intellectual, literary critic and writer. I learned this today while watching Criminal Minds. I was working on a couple blog posts for my .com while publishing tumblr, posterous, twitter & facebook. I have ADD. Hey tower.

I really like that quote. I’ve been writing this blog for a while and although I have written for many other companies in different voices, the one I am most true to is my own. I began this blog to keep more memories and it started getting more popular as I got better at it.  We grew together and we are forever growing & changing. I find I’m my best when writing about something I really love & believe in. This is my life.  I can hear my Mum chuckle in my head, I’m reminded of her telling me how I loved myself and used to stare into the mirror for hours telling stories. Some things don’t change, I love me and life and I’m happy to share that light with you.

I’d like to share this too. Optimism is contageous.

i’m switching teams.

No, not like that silly, computer teams.

I haven’t got one YET but I’m going to, I really want one. One of these things  below just doesn’t belong… (and no it is not Justin Bieber!)

I’m ready to make the switch to a MAC, I’ve been curious for a long  time. I’m stepping up my game with new cameras and more work. I really want to do more video editing and fancy stuff with photos. My little Netbook baby Robert has been my sidekick for the past two years.  I’m ready to give him a big brother.

Oh, and I touched an ipad 2. It’s pretty sexy. Imma stick with my Andy for a while, he won’t be getting replaced until 3rd gen comes out. Oh, me the men the machines. <- read this.

it’s players like these that are the future

Last year about 20 people like you who ready this bloggy  joined me for a TFC soccer game.  It was so much fun. My friend Jonathan hooked it all up and if I’m good maybe we can do it again this summer.

I’m going to my first game this season on May 7th, the daye before my birthday (mark that day in your calendar and set a reminder). I kid I kid. 😛

The TFC just signed four kids from their youth academy. Check out this special video just for me from 18 year old Matt Stinson. Am I a cougar yet? Actually, I’ll stick with Puma.

Remember that other time Lights gave mama a shoutout. Love her too.

In other news, loving the new camera. Took 206 photos last night, deleted them all by accident. I need to work on this ‘being a photographer’ thing. I feel very NEW. Really looking forward to the moon tonight. Read more about it here.
