Rose Gold

What time is it? It's time to buy a watch! Like many of you, being attached to a cellphone means I rarely feel the need to wear a watch. Now that I've picked up this gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Henry' Rose gold-plated watch, I'll have to get used to looking at my wrist more often. I love that it can be sophisticated for the office and chic for a casual outing and the true beauty of rose gold is that it looks good on everyone. If you've been to a watch store recently, you've probably noticed Rolex, Michael Kors, Burberry, Fossil...they're all over it! I predict this will be a trend to stay.

Olympic Blues

17 days, 14 golds, 1 truly amazing experience for Vancouverites and the world alike. I'll wrap it up by leaving you with a pic of the Olympic cauldron. I'm slowing recovering from the after-Olympic blues and yes, this will be my last Olympics related post... I promise. Back to regular programing this week!

During the games, I met up with the lovely Annette from The VersaStyle. Connecting with amazing people like Annette is truly the greatest thing about blogging. I love how the only picture we got together has a line of umbrellas as a backdrop, classic Vancouver! Hopefully when I visit her in LA, we'll get to hang for more than a 30 min coffee chat!

A Little Sunshine for the Holidays

I'm Back! SO sorry for the lack of posts lately. We got back from the trip on Monday and have been busy running errands non-stop. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years! I'm still getting used to the idea of living in this new decade... the 10's??... it feels like yesterday when it turned 2000!



Our short Cruise vacation was exactly what we needed.  It was very relaxing and involved a lot of eating & sleeping! The Buffets and daily 3-course meals really killed me... I must have gained a few pounds. Other than the food, J and I really loved just lounging around and enjoyed taking a slow-paced vacay for a change! Oddly, I didn't feel seasick but as soon as I got home, I was feeling dizzy & unstable like I'm still on the ship... what is that, landsick??

One of the stops was the beautiful Catalina Island. Avalon is such a charming little town. Only an hour or two away from the California coast, it's a quick getaway and makes you feel like you just flew to Southern France. The breath-taking views really reminded me of Monaco - minus the casinos! I loved that the main mode of transportation there is by Golf Cart. Environmentally-friendly and fun! I may have taken a few sharp turns that scared my dear passengers... but we all made it down the hill in one piece! We took a scenic drive around the Island, visited a few quaint little shops and had a bite to eat. Too bad we only had a day to stroll through the town, I could spend a good week there!



What's a Holiday post without a Tree! We decorated our Christmas tree purple & silver this year. Since we didn't get to enjoy it over Christmas, I'm gonna keep it up for as long as possible. V-day might be pushing it, no?
