Well it's official: I have lost my (winter) legs.  That's right, the tights have come off and I'm so excited!  We are officially in spring (in my books) and I have put my tights away till the fall.  It's been six long months of wearing tights almost every day and I'm more than ready to go bare-legged.  I have to smile when I read about other bloggers (who live in generally warm climates year 'round, ie. LA) who get excited to put on tights due to cooler evening temperatures.  It's like a treat for them, which is nice, but here, it's a neccessity.  I'd look ridiculous running around with bare legs in the dead of January (ie. when the temperature drops below -25C).  Regardless, spring has sprung and tights are done... well, for a few months at least.







I received the Sunshine Award (for the second time! Woot!) from the beautiful SOPHIASA.  As an uber cool mom, she showcases her style and sometimes we even get a glance at her adorable daughter (aka mini-sophiasa).  And of course, I cannot forget that she was the first person to put me in their blog roll.  Thanks SOPHIASA.

Since I am to nominate some favourite bloggers, I'm creating my own theme and going with (my favourite) ladies who have the word 'fashion' in their blog title:







{ golden raisins, craisins, unsalted cashew halves, unsalted almonds, walnut pieces }

One of my great friends JM had me snacking on her awesome trail mix last week while we were 'patiently' waiting for our dinner to cook.  It was so delicious, and the best part: home made.  She combined the above five ingredients for a great tasting, healthy, trail mix!  I couldn't resist, and of course took her idea and made myself a batch.  Now I have a huge tub full of it that should last several weeks.  Thanks for the great tip, JM!

It really seems like summer is finally here!  I've been blogging and blogging on and on about how it's getting warmer and it seems it's staying that way.  This weekend was fabulous weather and even in the evenings a light jacket wasn't necessarily required.  We went to our friend's house for a fantastic BBQ (the first of the season), some drinks and played some board games.  A great way to kick of the s|s 2010 season!

It's been a fantastic weekend and I was lucky to have today off as well, making it yes, a four-day-weekend (amazing!).  It's been a great weekend filled with BBQ's, two Easter dinners, wonderful weather, and lots of chocolate.  Inspired by a couple things, thought I'd put together a list of current things I'm lusting, loving, looking for, listening to, etc.

Lusting for...
{ Spring's Ferdico sandals, $50}

Saw these on my girlfriend HC / future brother-in-law's girlfriend at Easter and fell in love.  Deep.  They come in black as well and just looked so good on her feet.


Listening to...



Loving...

... some of my recently thrifted items:

{ black patent clutch }

{ silk scarves }     


{ navy blazer }      


Watching...


My fiancé and I have become verrry hooked on this show about a middle-aged chemistry teacher who turns to a life of drugs and crime without his family having any idea.  Anymore would give too much away, but needless to say, it's worth the watch.


Workin' it out with...

{ Zumba }

I've been doing Zumba for a year now and still can't get enough.  It's a high-intensity cardio work out that includes salsa, meringue, hip-hop, and more latin-inspired dance.  If you know of a gym or rec centre that offers this class, I high recommend it.  It's a great way to sweat it out while having a great time.
