new things!

New red lips courtesy of M.A.C - I often feel I look like a clown with red lips. My lips aren't small and red tends to amplify them to the umpteenth degree - and make my teeth look a beautiful shade of yellow while it's at it, but with the help of my friend Ashley I found a colour that works and now get to rock the festive holiday red with the best of them!

Color: dubonnet
Store: M.A.C

Another fun find. What time is it? TIME TO ROCK (obviously) - mad cheesy guitar-shaped watch for like $8.00 (2 for $15). God bless the mall.

Store: Ardene

Training at my new job pretty much every day - so forgive the lack of posting - I'll be back in action when things settle down!

Why does shopping hurt so good?
Spent waaayyyy too much money this weekend on pretty things. It's been FOREVER since I've had a little money to spend on myself. I may have overdone it, but I'm so happy with my new possessions!

Some treasures from my weekend shopping excursions:

Boho top.

Black lace gloves.

Gucci-inspired studded heels - oh how I LOVE THEM.

We should play a little "price is right" - you'd never guess that the most expensive of these 3 items cost only $29.99! Oh Winners, I adore thee...

This happy camper is going to sleep now - to sleep perchance to dream of pretty trinkets and bobbles that make a day less dull.

Goodnight, darlings!

Big Time - I'm on my way I'm making it

There are very few things in this life that are more satisfying and entertaining than a trip to Costco. I had not been to this magical retail wonderland since I was a kid... but Sunday the Mom and I took a drive to London and boy did we have ourselves a time!

Observe the abundant glory of COSTCO:

Holy stomach ache batman! Who gets THIS sick?

For the fish lover in all of us...

this thing weighed as much as an 8 year old child...

Dirty hair much?

A homeless man's dream. (The Listerine, not me... or maybe both...?)

**

Another great thing about Costco is the fact that there are about 15 sample stations throughout the store. I got to taste some guacamole, some roasted red pepper hummus (bought 2 tubs - YUM!), a 3 bean salad and a blueberry turnover! Free lunch!

We also went to Value Village. There is nothing better than non-Toronto Value Villages because they're not picked over by hipsters. I found THE MOST AMAZING DRESS. Black suede (genuine) figure hugging with fringe... for $9.99 - Just have to find a place to wear it. I cannot wait!
