Lil Somethin'

Just a few lil' somethings I'm loving. 

Appropriate for Valentine's Day!

Our kind of love...

Lovin' my new sunnies!

And something from my current fav's Karmin!

Red Letter Year - OOTD

As brave as I would like to be, public photo taking still brings out the worst in me.  I see fantastic walls & fabulous backdrops but can't quite bring myself to set up the tripod for onlookers. Imagine my delight at finding a random red dumpster in the middle of nowhere...

Blouse/Torrid, Cardi/George, Jeans/Forever21, Sunglasses/Vogue, Boots/Shoe Company

I've wanted to get these boots in their premier debut on the blog for awhile.  Not only are they fabulous, they are magical.  Putting these boots on makes my entire day/lookout/outfit better.

Feel Good Boots!

This super cute blouse is from Torrid, purchased in the spring. I love the flirtiness of it, with ruched sleeves, tied waist & a slight flair at the bottom. I've worn it with everything from mini skirts, shorts, capris & now skinny jeans.

It was so windy out there today that my side bob was looking a little sorry by the end of this shoot (glad I did this AFTER work!) & my sweater & blouse were blowing in all sorts of directions but I'm glad I braved at least the elements to take these pictures today...

Wondering what inspired the title of today's post? Only my most favorite of favorite's, the fabulous Ani Difranco.  I have seen her perform many times including tickets for my birthday TWICE from my adorable husband! Last year she played in Fredericton the night before my birthday, supporting the album Red Letter Year. Enjoy.

Wedding Blog Series - Part 3, The Wedding

So I have managed to get 3 posts out of just one beautiful event, & trust me if I had of been on the honeymoon this might have been endless (which I am sure is just 1 of many reasons I wasn't invited along on that trip...). But today I end it all with the Wedding...

I'm not going to bore you with all the moments of a family & couple most of you don't even know, but let me give you MY top five...

Top 5 Moments

1. Seeing my brother's face as his bride came down the aisle (ok seriously, I'm getting misty-eyed even remembering it!).
2. My other brother, the best man, singing Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' at the top of his lungs on the dance floor, while jumping up & down & fist pumping. True story.
3. My father moving his chair over to the pie buffet for a 'better seat'.
4. Huge fireworks display set off by my cousin during which most of the guests spontaneously started a sing-a-long to Journey.

5. Having the husband drunk enough that he allowed pictures, public kissing & even danced!

Yes I do realize that 3 of the 5 are song & dance related & honestly there were 2 other contenders for the top 5 that were music related. I've always wanted my life to have a musical episode &this wedding might have been it.

I was torn between the Whitney Houston video & this....

I think I made the right choice, as did these two...

I Whip My Hair

Ya, I did it. I once again went for a dramatic change in my hair. Being blonde was excellent but my winter white skin is already encroaching on my look & so I felt it was time for a change.

I put it off a little longer than wanted in order to wait & get back to Ontario & my Vanessa.  I can't imagine making a dramatic hair choice without her. The day after Phil & Tiff's wedding I headed to Toronto so we could brunch then dye. Oh & shop... we totally shopped (that could/will be a whole other post!).

These are some different 'outfit' photos I took, showing more of my 'look' than my clothes.

capris from addition elle, shoes birkenstock



I wanted to to a bit of a shoot on my parent's property without dragging out a tripod etc. the results were different, but I think fun!

Just a little look at my previous Ontario life...

So, what do you think of the new & latest, fabulous look?  Vanessa also turned my husband's shaggy locks into some seriously smokin' hair... but he won't let me show you. *giggle*

If you are in Toronto, or will be & want some fabulous hair, Vanessa at House of Lords is the only girl worth seeing.

Sorry folks, but I just can't resist ending this post with this;
