Got no diamonds, got no wealth. I got no man, but I got my health.

Love this tune. How great of a movie is Beaches? I remember watching in in the basement on a Saurday morning, early, with my sister. Sad but so happy their friendship those two. The shirt above is Cybelle from NZ. My fav Orly nail polish in shiny Black Out and Joe Fresh matte lipstick in Poppy.  A couple of my recently acquired  new favourites.

Went to Shopgirls Gallery Boutique the other day and got some Yoga Jeans. Great little shop it is, located in Parkdale and carries all kinds of Canadian designers. All the staff are artists and they have gallery space on the walls. They have a blog, Twitter and are on FB too.

Michelle the owner took me around and we perused all the Canadian designers. Look at her in the gorgeous collar. I want!

These are the Yoga Jeans I picked, signature limited edition made for Shopgirls exclusively, down to the last couple pairs ones. Check me out, Shopgirls logo there.

This is the standard lunge test. It works, they are SUPER stretchy. Wont lose their shape. Retail around $110 which is totes reasonable.

I never wear jeans and wore them all day yesterday, deff Casie approved. The best pants I’ve worn in a while. Go to the boutique and get some of your own it is at 1342 Queen Street West. They are probably open call 416 534 7467 to check first.

It reminded me of a little shop I might see in Ponsonby, Auckland filled with New Zealand designers. I love all these kinda things with feathers and lace and leather.

This table was so cool. Made from bicycle parts as you can see. I’d love to see Dad make one of these. Hey Dad, can you make this? I know you can, I mean can you try one out?

You can rent the space out. Pretty neat. Easy to get to. Might be good for a gathering little smaller than GenYTO. Something where we serve wine around the room.

Love the ceilings.

Queen Street in Toronto is such a great place. This board at Portland/Queen always has the best little quotes. Ones to make you feel cute for sure. Oh Natalie! I just can’t decide either! A life of freedom is sooooo appealing!

P.S Took all these photos with my Motorola Backflip, pretty good camera/phone if youre looking. Mine is with Telus, it’s an Android. I dig it. Google ILU, FTW!

eye spy with my new litte eye

Good Morning Saturday!! It’s lovely out. I got a new camera yesterday, Cannon PowerShot SD1300 I 12.1 mpx + 2 year warranty. If you have been reading this blog for more than six months, you will know exactly why I need a warranty. If you are newer than that, search camera here and you will understand.

Let me show you around a little, welcome to my house…

My girls – Gwen, Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Smellin good.

Mum’s fav passage by Billie Jean King “there are no shortcuts to achieving your dreams” thanks Mum. Love you. Gold angel for good luck and love. They are everywhere around my house and Mum’s house. Thanks Julie, rest in peace, I love you. Tiffany’s silver bracelet from a boy, white gold diamond ring from a different boy (both who now have kids and might be married? Oh memories.) The septum piercing I took out last month, vintage earings. The gold thing is from an award my Dad won for a hot rod he built in the 80’s. Love you too Dad!

Me and frog magnet. A penis magnet. Morgan & I at George Strombo‘s party, Carly, Brock & I at the Diet Coke party all during TIFF last month. I love photo booths. I’m sure that does not surprise you.

Sabrina is whiping up a quiche for brekky. She really is quite a darling. Makes a wicked quiche! Imma eat you SOON!

This does not need explaining, I’ve shouted from the rooftops already.

My girl Barbie, one of many around the house. She is special because she has a video camera in her chect (kinda jealous) and an LCD screen in her back (not jealous) for recording videos. Thanks Mattel! Her and I need to spend more time together. Perhaps we will take a walk later today? Those files need attention.

Lookin’ pretty clear across the water, not much traffic either. Not that I have a car or a boat but y’know. Good to know.

Hello beautiful! Clear blue skies and my fav tall tower in the world. HI! Remember when I was inside you last week?

Ridic amount of clothes in my room and this massive bag is full of ones I’m finally parting with. Going to a clothing swap today and pretty much swapping all this jazz for more space in my closet.

This right here is sweet as mate! Warm and sunny FTW ILU! This is my TV it’s LG. First big electronic purchase of my life. I felt like such a dude when I got it, kinda like oh yeah, I’ve got a big one.

Scored this Yacht CD when I worked at MuchMTV. I totally love it. Rock it on the ipod too. There are heaps of good songs on this album and they are on Twitter too @teamyacht. The EP under it is a cd I got at a fashion show during New Zealand Fashion Week, Kiwi’s make some pretty rad music. SO much talent over there. Shame the wee islands are SO far away.

Sabrina’s lovely indoor garden. It’s been really expanding. I got a money tree earlier this year and y’know what, with lots of sun and some love, it’s growing.! This makes mama happy happy.

My netbook on a Belkin laptop fan. Joe Fresh lip gloss (love). Charlie Mars free download from Morgan that I’ve not used yet. I hear Charlie is a big dealio, dating that girl MLP from Weeds. I love that show. Crappy Gaga inspired ring from H&M that needs to be silver not scrap metal. Doh! I hate that.

That’s all for now. What are you doing today?

This song has been stuck in my head for days! Ahhhh. Go outside and enjoy the sun! It’s so beautiful out. Haven’t got much time. Must get to a meeting. No word yet on the Virgin thing but as soon as I know the whole free world will know, well, unless …nevermind. You will know!

Happy Friday! Make the most of today. You are the youngest you will ever be!!
