After seeing Maegan's DIY for adding fur to your shoes (and boots), I immediately jumped in my car (okay, I showered first) and headed out on a mission to get some faux fur from Fabricland. Maegan used faux fur trim for hers, but unfortunately the only trim at my store was white and dark purple (which I contemplated, but passed up). I really wanted a tan coloured fur, or as a second resort black or grey. I left the fabric store feeling defeated but then remembered Walmart sold faux fur rugs. I took a chance and amongst the hot pink, lime green, black, white and dark grey there was (woohoo!) this tan colour. $20 for the rug makes it cheaper than buying faux fur by the meter at the fabric store ($38/m) too - score. Excited, I ran home and started cutting apart the rug and voila. Head to Meagan's blog to check out the full DIY.

Yesterday while at Walmart I couldn't resist these two Revlon nail polishes. Now it should be known that I'm a bit of an OPI snob. Since starting to purchase the brand over two years ago, I've rarely bought anything else (except the odd Wet'N'Wild and Rimmel colours here and there). Now that's not to say I'm constantly buying nail polishes. Au contraire. At $10 a pop, I have to be selective of which colours I purchase because it's like a treat when I purchase one. All that to say, I bought these ones for $4 (we'll see how long they last).
When I buy nail polish, I always look at the brush. I like fat brushes (aka, less swipes per nail) and was immediately turned off by Revlon's thin brushes. However, I said to myself I shouldn't discriminate (haha) and decided to purchase. With freshly painted nails, I'd say the brushes aren't terrible, the formula goes on very smoothly and offers great coverage. I also found it dried a bit quicker than OPI. I did two coats, plus a base and top coat (Rimmel 60 second top coat). I love the pewter colour, and did my left ring finger in a more silvery colour. Know what I love even more? The price.
PS - Hand shots are soo awkward. Seriously. I'm like, 'Are those my hands? Ick.' Also, I'm definitely a nail biter but have been on-and-off letting my nails grow for the last year (I even had long nails at my wedding - and they were my own!). However, I've been stressed lately and in turn, ruined my nails. Bah humbug.
Just a few random snaps I've saved while perusing the 'net.
{ love him - how fab is he!? }
I was shocked to receive an email from MTV saying they wanted to feature me
in their MTV Style section - what an honour. Check it out here.

This sweater has been getting tons-o-play. I bought it on Boxing Day (50% off for $50) and it's definitely been a go-to... funny how this is the first time I've photographed it (blogger fail).
So it's about that time of year: I'm seriously craving a winter vacation right about now. Everyone is going away down south to get away from this frigid weather and I'm stuck here. I guess it's getting more and more mild but I can't help but daydream about going somewhere sunny. Even my parents are on vacation saying things like, 'You're sure you can't just fly down?', and, 'It's not the same without you'. Seriously painful.
However, we aren't taking a winter holiday this year as our friends (and former roomates) are getting married this summer in British Columbia and we will be traveling there (side note: so excited for this as I've never been and have always wanted to go), fun 'eh? And get this, the bride and groom are staying in town after the wedding to play tour guide to all of us (aka, the friends) before heading off on their honeymoon (um, thoughtful much?!). Are any of you going away this winter? (Or are you one of those lucky people who live in a warm climate year 'round? PS, I hate you).
