We went out to one of our 'all-you-can-eat' sushi spots the other night and had a great time. We thought it'd be cheaper because it was a weekday (whereas weekends are more expensive). As it turns out, it was $1 cheaper (one dollar). Oh well. It was delish and I discovered my new favourite: rhe rainbow roll. Okay, second favourite because I'll never love anything more than the spider roll.

Outdoor outfit shots! Finally! I took advantage of the amazing weather last Friday and snapped these shots after work. The sun was shinning, the wind was blowing and most importantly, the snow was melting. It was a balmy 10 degrees Celcius (that's 50 degrees F for you American folk) which is ridiculously unheard of for here. People were driving with their (car) windows down, walking around without jackets and even wearing open-toed shoes (okay, maybe that was just me - but for the record, I did have boots with me but they were so unnecessary). However, Mother Nature came to her senses the next day and snapped back with temperatures of -10 C. So much for the heat wave.
See, I told you these jeans were long! Woohoo!

Look! My new boots! I finally wore them. Yes, you read correctly, I haven't worn them despite receiving them for Christmas because I was a little wary about the height of the heel on these. I'd begged husband to get them for me for Christmas but had only coveted them from afar (aka online). When I opened the box, I was ecstatic... until I saw the height of the heel. Definitely five inches, maybe a tad more... Being 5'11 I try to draw the line at 4.75 inches. No, it doesn't make a huge difference for most, but I'm tall enough as it is and I can certainly feel insecure when I'm towering over everyone and have people commenting left, right, and centre about how tall I am. That said, I love heels and won't give them up, I've learned to love my height (I can't change it so I embrace it) but I have to draw the line somewhere and that line is at 4.75 inches.
However, I love and loved these boots so much I couldn't return them. I decided the perfect opportunity would be to wear them out while with my tallest friend and it worked out well because she wore heels as well and we were the same height. Love it. Not only that, they were pretty comfy despite the narrow sole pad and I shopped till I dropped in them (with back-up flats in my bag, of course, which I didn't end up needing - score).

Update: my outfit ended up being feature on MTV! Check it out HERE.
My girlfriend and I went shopping on Saturday night and had one hell of a successful evening. Among several other things (which I will share soon), I found some new jeans. Jeans are something that when you find 'em and they're fantastic, (personally) you should get them (if you can afford it). It's not everyday that you find awesome jeans and when you're looking for awesome jeans best believe you won't find them (so frustrating).
Onto the jeans! First off, I found both pairs at Winners (Canada's TJ Maxx, for all you US readers). So I first found the Foxy jeans and while I don't mind this brand, I've never owned a pair nor found ones that I loved. I tried them on and they were super long. They are a straight-leg skinny and so long that on my toes they go past my heels (so rare for a tall chick like moi - 5'11). They came with chain and elastic suspenders, which might seem cool, but I will be removing them as they're just not for me (with jeans, at least). I bought a size 9, 35" length and they were $25 (amazing!).
The second pair I found in the clearance section and they are almost a fancy denim as they have some sheen to them. The brand is Laguna Beach Jean Co., which I've never heard of before (upon further research, they are the 'Crystal Cove' style and you can buy them here for $159). They are hand stitched with great stitching details around the waistband, pockets and down the legs. They are a straight-leg skinny and even longer than the Foxy jeans, by a tad. I bought a size 29 and they are super snug at the waist but it was the last pair and I was in love. I paid $46 (regularly priced at $60).
