some media friends at #lgfw

Shots from my comp in the media tent (which is not actually a tent at all). Liana Saadi. She’s a total babe and a fitness model who shoots for Elle Canada Magazine.. We’re also from the same hometown. This is Fouj, she’s the greatness behind the Social Media for LGFW and the blog of it all (aka the good stuff). She’s a hot babe with great style AND she’s super smart/good at social media. I always find the babes. If you’re at Fashion Week, find her and she’ll snap your outfit photo! Barbie is up later and I scored an extra pass so I can bring Sabrina. She’s my roommate but also my very own Barbie. I play with her hair, do her makeup and sometimes make outfits for her. She’s a jem. LOVE YOU Beans! I made her post for these photos at home. Gawd, she’s cute.

:: work it out baby ::

Last week I tweeted that I needed a trainer, this week I downloaded 2 apps for that! Thanks Google. I love you! ♥ App #1: Cardio Trainer [free] Weightloss Trainer Outdoor & treadmill modes (pedometer & GPS) Voice output & music integration Records path, pace, calories, etc. & uploads to website/FB share Race Against Yourself It’s pretty cool, been tracking my walk to/from work this week. Takes me anywhere from 9-14 minutes depending on shoes/lights, I burn about 50 calories and it’s about 1.2 km and my speed averages 6-7 kn/hr. I’m gonna race against myself, see who’s the biggest loser! ha. Interested to see what days I walk fastest on & how shoes/lights impact me. It charts it using GPS and talks to me when the workout starts/stops/pauses. App #2: Body Fitness [free] Exercise journal with clear pictures, detailed instructions, clean UI (user interface) 320+ exercises, separated into Core, Lower Body, Arms,Chest,Shoulders, Back Yoga Cardio workout :: beats putting a real human in your pocket :: BTW, my tumblr’z got it goin on’!

ahoy matey, this ship’s a sailin’

I was really excited to get it and now that’s it’s done, I’m so happy. I was super picky and we put the stencil on three times before I was ready to go. I knew exactly what I wanted and when you know, you just know and since you’re gonna have it forever, you better get it right. It was done by Stephen Shaw aka @illustratelife and yes, it hurt. I was nervous and excited, my favorite feeling ever. The part near your elbow is so sensitive, so is getting inked on any part that covers a bone.  My last couple were done by Robb Coutts at Bobby Five, he’s amazing but getting in there is near impossible these days. People always ask “is there like, some meaning behind it?” DUH! Of course, like I’d do something just for no reason. All my tattoos are some type of reminder about something special in my life, as well as pretty decorations. I don’t feel like pouring my heart out about why I got each one but feel free to ask me IRL, I’ll tell you. I can’t imagine just walking into a shop, unplanned and getting some random thing off the wall, I gotta think my stuff out. What am I gonna do next? Hmm… just kidding MUM! haha. Ok, bye for now!

smell you later hot stuff

Last year, about this time, I wrote about Givenchy Play, it was brand new and no one had it yet. Last night at the Buckler show/party for LGFW I got a mini size  in my giftbag and I really hope more dudes start wearing it.  Buckler link goes to the FB page, their site plays music when you click on it and I hate linking to sites like that. Great style for men though,  I recommend checking it out. It’s made for a man but it smells oh so good, I’ve had it in my own rotation. I rewarded Ryan, one of our interns at work with a Play giftset recently. He’s starting out in the music industry and I’m happy to help smell extra good. Keep up the good work & enjoy it RYAN!! You can get yours at The Bay if you wanna smell really good too. Ok, busy day today, heading to Allstrem Centre to catch a  bunch of shows LGFW today. Ah! Exciting. Tattoo pix coming right up next!

it’s more fun to see you smile

Welcome to a brand new day. What’s new? everything. Exciting times ahead in the world, in my world and probably yours too if you think about it. I’m getting a new tattoo tonight. I’m going to fashion week everyday for the rest of the week. It’s a short week! Testing out two new-ish social media tools for blog & work  SocialTalk and Keen Kong; one if for publishing and the other for engagement & listening. This stuff makes me happy. I could barely sleep last night. I’ve got heaps to do but I figure as long as I keep working hard everyday it will all get done. I always wanted to grow up and be the girl who works at MuchMusic and even works on evenings and weekends because she has an agent and her own business and cool friends who are smart and do the same kinda things and lives cool condo downtown Toronto by the water. This is my life and it’s got it’s ups and downs but I choose to make it as exciting as I possibly can. I hope you do too. Damn rainy AGAIN today so I wore bright garden legs!  Kick kick that gloom right outta’ sight. Have a wonderful day and thank you for reading my blog. I love you.
