Chanel: Spring 2010

Inspiration - "Neon Baroque"

"It's the first time in my whole career 
I've done a collection without black or navy.
There's not one gold button," said Lagerfeld.
"I saw it in a dream and I made the sketches 
. . . at five o'clock in the morning."

Spring come sooner

I want spring to come...
Not because I want it to be warmer...
Not because I want school to be done...
Not because I want to be back home...
I just want spring to come
 

so I can kiss in the rain and not the snow <3



The song that makes me melt

For some reason this song gets to me. 
It is just so pretty. You would probably remember it from the 'Time Traveler's Wife' movie trailer.
I feel like crying every time I hear it. And if I could actually relate to the song I would just ball every time I heard it. 
But I can't figure out whether its about breaking up or dying? What do you think?

love can be shown in the simplest ways




"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
--Martin Luther King Jr.

Song of the Week: The Maine - Into Your Arms

So these guys are kinda dorky looking and all, but the lead singer is kinda hot and I'm really starting to love this song. Usually I don't like these kind of boy band kids but I don't mind these guys. Yet. The song is kinda catchy though.


GG 2010 Best Dressed


My Faves of the 2010 Golden Globes:














Emily Blunt looked amazing.
Not to mention the hottie beside her helped. haaaa
Sandra Bullocks really made you look twice. I think it also looked better on TV than in pictures, but I love the subtle yet sexy leg showing. 
Dianna Agron. Wow. Just everything, hair, makeup, dress. Wow.
I just love Fergies dress for some reason. I think the color looks so good on her. & it is simple but really elegant. Lots of people would probably disagree with me but I really like it.
Ginnifer Goodwin really stood out to me with that royal blue dress. LOVE.
Oh and don't forget Kate Hudson in her gorgeous white dress. I would have chosen different shoes for her becuase I think the pumps are a bit much. I would have done a strappy pair of silver heels, but that's just me.
And I didn't put up a picture butttttt I have to mention Drew Barrymores too because it was gorgeous. It fit her beautifully.

Who was your favorite?

I'm in Love with dexter!

Dexter is suuuuuch a good show. I'm in love. I love it because you can't just tune into any episode and know what is going on. It really is just like a 12 episode long movie. So many twists and turns and you never know what is going to happen. I highly recommend it!

I am on season 3 episode 6. It seems to always be on the sixth episode of every season that you get hooked and need to watch all at once. If you want a really really good website to watch it on go to this website. It is high def, yu only have to wait like 45seconds for it to load and there is no limit to how much you can watch! Doooo it! & then let me know what you think of the show!! =) I promise you will be hooked too.

Have Youuuuuu Been Rollerskating Before????




I was better than I thought I would be. But I still kinda sucked. I didn't fall though!
I would probably recommend going with a huge group of people...because a bunch of little kids speeding by you and then laughing is not so fun. Love you girls <3  

Good Or Bad?

Sooo I've been hearing a lot about this Dear John movie & after watching the trailer I can't tell whether I will like it or not. It could either be reeeaaally good. Or horrible.
What do you think?



And really? They gave him a comb-over? Whatever... Channing Tatum is sexy.
Im predicting this movie will be total cheese but I'll probably still go see it. lol

I had a good week with these girls =)




<33333

Lookalikes




These hot shoes are by YSL. Anyone wanna buy them for me? ;)

Love This Song

Byyyy the way....i always think he says 'all the right boobs in all the right places' but dont worry its moves i believe. Haaaa.
Im in love with this song right now.
And the video is hot too. The dresses in it are gorgeous and the choreography goes well with the song. LOVE

Designer Spotlight: Black Halo




This line has some really cute dresses. A little more sophisticated than your typical going out dress but still sexy at the same time. I love these. I wish I didn't live somewhere where I can only wear stuff like this for 3 months of the year!

My Christmas Time Indulgences




christmas time was full of indulgence for me. & none of these are gifts. HA.













Floral skirt, floral dress & purple shirt --> Luv It Boutique- Victoria, BC
William Rast Jeans --> Addicted Boutique- Victoria, BC
Tan Belt & Black Dress --> Aritzia
Studded Shrug --> Pusch
Black Vest --> H&M

One thing Calgary is definitely missing is a boutiquey area. Ya ya ya, we have 17th ave but considering Calgary is such a fashionable and chic city, we should have a better area. Downtown Victoria is amazing. I was down there for a little during Christmas holidays and so many places to shop! They have this area downtown that has everything! I was so impressed. Yes, I love shopping. Anywhere. But shopping in the mall gets old after a while. Especially since every girl is wearing the same thing nowadays.

I got those William Rasts for $100. I was so pumped. So if we could have more boutiques with deals like that I would be a very very happy shopper ;)

Tip: Calgary City Planners -- Invest in a shopping area downtown!
