my new best friends.

Thanks Nine west, I've been looking for purple pumps for too long! I fell in love so I had to get the black too. Shoe weakness!

I got new jeggings, I can't stop talking about them...

and so my rants about them continue! I love, love, love them and can't wait to return to Shades of Grey to get some more. Shades of Grey is one of the newest favorite stores in Edmonton!!! Super good selection and a range of prices making it accessible to everyone! The Edmonton shopping scene is finally improving and I am super stoked on this new boutique! For more, visit them here: http://www.shopshadesofgrey.com/

Back to the jeggings: black orchid. 
They are beauties!
They fit great and are true to size!
The color is perfection!
I have been looking for good jeggings for a while now and they have finally been found. I hope you love them as much as I do. Here is a little preview...

Cate Blanchett fails for me.

I don't know what all the fuss is about Cate's dress!! Too much structure to the dress. This is what I think of when I look at it. I can't help it.

Halle Berry literally SHINES.

I expect nothing less from her and nothing less from marchesa.

thank-you Mila.

Looking like an allstar at the Academy Awards

Scarlett Johansson is amazing. I love everything about this look. Her army candy is just another cherry on top. I'm still in AWE. Dolce and Gabbana delivers. See more at JustJared

New Year- New Hair.

Rachel Bilson rocks a new do. Also, it looks like she has  been reading my blog [ie. see shoes ;) ] Looking good like always!

February 22, 2011 Inspiration.

This is going to be a new segment on my blog; 'inspiration', how original, I know. Don't judge too quick when I tell you what my first inspiration is. I am being completely serious, and am super super super excited to start this first post.

Okay first, today I was thinking about how I want my blog to be like a magazine I would read. Full of variety, and able to feed diverse tastes. I am obviously really into fashion and design, but also architecture, art, books, sports, photography, quotes, music, traveling and home decor. The blog was missing something, it was missing sincerity and soul and so here is my attempt to add exactly that.

INSPIRATION.
What inspires you? Everyday I look at something, see something, hear something or read something that gives me inspiration. I always intend to write these things down but being the busy person I am, I never get to it.

Well here goes nothing...my inspiration today is Justin Bieber. Yes, yes, yes, I am a beliber, I have bieber fever and I say NEVER SAY NEVER. haha corrrnnnyyy. Anyway, I went to go see JB's flick tonight and it was unreal. Super talented kid, super inspiring story. I guess I never really realized that in the span of one year Justin Beiber became bigger than the biggest in Hollywood.

His endurance, energy, talent and love is super inspiring. People in their whole lives don't achieve what JB has achieved in the span of a year. That in itself speaks volumes about him and what a sixteen year old can achieve. It doesn't matter if you don't like him, his music or his hair, his story has the ability to move anyone.

We are all capable of living a standard life that fits the the average mold, where we are content and lead cookie cutter lives that we are destined for? Others deviate from the pack and seek something bigger and pursue something bigger. My motto has always been 'don't settle'. Don't settle for anything that you are bigger than, don't settle for a average life, don't settle for average goals. The fact is that we are all capable and usually our capacity starts leaking out through bits and pieces of inspiration. I feel mine leaking. I know I am destined for something BIG in this world, and I hope you know that you are too. Find your own way, make your own luck and set your own standards- starting deviating from that pack.

There's a dream in my soul,
a fire that's deep inside me.
There's a me no one knows
waiting to be set free. 

-Justin Bieber

This has to be one of the COOLEST things I have ever seen. The Wave is located on the border of Arizona and Utah. This formation is not well-known as it is only accessible by foot via a three mile hike.
