All that's gold...

Finally back at it. Ie. I have a remote again. I really do miss my friends that used to take my pictures... things went so much fast having someone to take my photos compared to a tripod and remote setup. Thank you everyone, I miss you.

I am an infinitely lazy person. Weekends are do nothing days for me. I lounge around, and if I really feel energetic, I go for brunch at the local cafe (honey, camembert and olive paninis are amazing) to get some social interaction and hopefully get some reading and work done. Normally, I also make my friends take the blog photos after, so I have a reason to get dressed (it's cold, and getting out of my fuzzy pajamas isn't exactly high on my list on priorities).

Now, being the lazy person I am, and having most of my brunch crew out of town, last weekend, I decided the best thing to do was change out of my pajamas, into some not quite pajamas. 

Boxing Day Shopping

Oh Boxing Day, Canada's Black Friday. I'm the biggest sucker for sales, and needless to say, I spent a ton in the past two days. I purchases these Rag & Bone jeans for $100 off during a pre-boxing day sale, and I might have a little (very expensive) something else to show off in two weeks. 

Happy Stampede!

A Bit of Lace at the Lilac Festival

Happy Friday everyone! I'm a little late posting this outfit as the Lilac Festival took place on Sunday. The Lilac Festival is probably Calgary's largest street festival/market, and there are plenty of vendors to buy jewelry from. The sole reason I go every year is to find new, local Etsy stores and designers. There are plenty, as the festival stretches for 13 blocks.

France at Global Fest 2013

 Hello summer! I swear it's just the sun making me this pale. Globalfest has finally started and I headed down today to see France's show. It's the first time France has competed in the fireworks competition, and they did wonderfully! Check out below to see a few of the fireworks, the different cultural pavilions, and my outfit.

TOPSHOP Opening Up in Chinook Centre!

TOPSHOP will be opening in Chinook Centre here in Calgary! Needless to say, I cannot wait! I really hope they offer as good a selection as their British stores though, unlike when Scotch and Soda opened here. I also hope the markup in price won't be as bad as it is at The Bay. TOPSHOP is just so much cheaper to by in England... perhaps I'll go soon. The store will be opening in the fall.

Calgary Coats - The Puffer Jacket

Armani Exchange Printed Peplum Puffer Jacket

The weather has been mild lately, thanks to a few chinooks, but I know Calgary weather will be getting to be pretty brutal soon. So what better way to prep for the chill than to look at some new jackets!

Free People Opens at Chinook Centre!

Free People Clothing Boutique opened today at Chinook Centre in Calgary with cupcakes and Perrier water! As usual, the clothes were gorgeous, as was the decor. It's the second boutique to open in Canada, the first being in Toronto. Now I have both the boutique and the Free People section at The Bay to tempt me at work!
