I'VE GOT THE BLUES

Supposed to sleep right after work today but I remembered I have to be a responsible blogger and post a new blog entry. I am exhausted beyond words which is the price you pay when you go out on a Monday night. Spontaneously picked up by Swiss Army who was so excited to have his new GPS (and not get lost around Calgary) and drove by Peter's Drive-In for some good ol' famous milkshake that I have no idea whatsoever until last night. After almost 8 months in this city, all I've memorized are the shopping places. I seriously need a Calgarian who can show me around. Any takers? :)

Moving on, please do not take my title seriously...I do not have the blues. In fact, I am feeling totally the opposite of that. I'm all giddy, happy and excited lately. Look at the outfit and take it literally though.

The house was left to me the whole weekend since everyone went to Banff. I've decided a while back that I'm gonna have ME time all weekend but instead I went shopping at Southcentre with Dee last Friday and got myself these new wedge booties from Spring (last pair + my size = SOLEMATE), oxfords from Steve Madden and a loot from Ardene composed of a new ring and 2 OTK socks as a reward for myself cos im just 5 pounds away from my original weight. WOOT WOOT!!!

I was in my sweats, nibbling on popcorn and watching Mean Girls on TV when my phone rang...It was Dee saying she's coming over and bringing some wine. I thought, "Screw ME time, I always have fun with Dee anyway." A few minutes later, Dee was knocking at my door with a bottle of Astii Martini champagne instead of wine...This calls for a celebration! I changed into this outfit and we took turns taking outfit photos. I know you guys always see the 1st floor of the house but now it's time that you see what is upstairs. Not that this house is mine...I live here, yes but I don't own it (I wish!). I popped the champagne after taking photos, prepared some salami, cheese, pita, challah, guacamole, humus and we sat in front of the TV watching The Devil Wears Prada. When the mouse is away and the weather is shitty...staying in with your BFF is your best bet. 

What did you do last weekend? ;)

TGIF lovelies!!!

This week came by soooo fast compared to last week which is always a good thing. I am sitting in front of my laptop, 15 minutes away from starting my last day at work but I couldn't be more ecstatic! This weekend would be so wonderful. Tonight, I am having dinner and watching Blue Valentine with a real-life Ryan Gosling :) and then tomorrow, I work part-time in the morning and then sushi at night with my friend Chris and maybe another trip to the cinema? I smell No Strings Attached :) Sunday, there would be another edition of Breakfast Club! PACKEDDDDD!!!!

This is what I wore to the Fashion Industry Mixer last Wednesday. Wanted to take my new boots for a spin (sadly though, these boots are not made for walking or standing at a mixer for hours!) and what better way to do it than keep everything neutral. I miss wearing these shorts that I got for less than $1 at a thrift store back home...perfect for winter and for dressier events where you'd rather wear shorts than a skirt. Oh, my vintage top is really vintage! I got it as a gift from my boss' mom. Interesting finds make any wardrobe or outfit interesting, don't you think? :)

The Fashion Industry Mixer was more than I've ever hoped for! It was overwhelming to meet so many lovely people from the industry in just one night! Will be sharing photos and stories on my next post. For now, I must work! Ciao, bellas! x
