The thrill of the hunt...vintage hunting that is March 23 2011
OY! no Glee last night. Re-run. Now I do love Gwenth Paltrow so I guess I shall let it slide, since she is so ridiuclously fabulous, and it would be a crime NOT to re-run that episode.
I'm now on to Brothers and Sisters season 4...not sure I am not as smitten with this season as I was the other three. 
Perhaps the best part about yesterday though was the most fantastic thrift store expierence. It...
Florals, oh how I missed you! March 22 2011
Yesterday I had a clinic appointment. Today, is all fun, finishing my book club book, The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. Breaking out the sewing machine, and fixing up some vintage finds.
For those of you wondering, I'm followed at a hospital in Toronto. I was born with Cystic Fibrosis, which is a lung condition that has affected me my whole life (but not my love of fashion or accessories! ha). Last...
Harvest Festival March 21 2011
Today I wore one of the most fabulous finds in my wardrobe. I wore it downtown, back to the city to a clinic appointment.
Here is a most flirtatious, wonderful vintage dress from a store in Guelph which the name has decided to allude me for the moment.....ah just remembered.... Wild Rose. Suits the dress lovely because it's is wild. Wild Child.
I'm pretty sure this dress was hand made by someone...
First Wedding of 2011 photos are in! March 20 2011
Brides, Babes, Weddings, White....Magical.
My first wedding of 2011 photos are in.
For those of you who don't know. I create and design one -of-a-kind jewellery. Click here.
I designed this young woman's necklace, earrings, and bracelet for her special day.
She got married in Mexico, so she asked for something unique, boho, turquoise, green and beachy.
This is actually my first bride that I have...
Sppppppprinnngsummer. March 20 2011
First Day of Spring! Suck it winter.In honour of Spring, even though the ground is grey, the sky is grey...the world is dead (just starting to come alive again now). I thought I would wear turquoise to get me in the mood to see the flowers sprouting out of the ground. Also first time I wore these white pants since september probably. Nice they a. still fit, and b. makes me feel light and airy and...
Saturday Night....I like the Way you Move March 19 2011
It's saturday, so I put this oldy but a goody tune on the ol' speakers while I edited these photos, "Saturday Night" by Whigfield. I'm at my parents house for the weekend. So "Downtown" by Petula Clark didn't seem appropriate.
I am missing the city. My car stalled last night when I went grocery shopping...not cool. In the city no need for a car...thank you public transportation. I dislike driving...
Polka Dot Underwear March 19 2011
I have not posted an outfit post in awhile.
Today was a casual day. Cardigan and comfy jeans. I mean these jeans are so comfy I think I have worn them so much they have lost all the strength to them. I feel as if I am constantly pulling them up off my butt, but hey, they are damn comfy, so I will continue to wear them until there is a hole in the crotch, and the world sees my polka dot underwear.
Japan...devastation March 14 2011
On March 11, 2011 Japan was hit with an earthquake, that was rated a 8.9. One of the worst and most devastating earthquakes in our history.
Immediately the Canadian Red Cross immobilized and started raising funds and sending teams over to help in any way they can.
From March 14th to April 15th, 2011 when you purchase a one-of-a-kind Hattitude jewellery from the website by clicking here. Your...

This is crazy, wild, behemoth, insane....and a little bit scary, but mainly just absolutely insane to watch. What talent.The academy awards ladies and gentlemen... March 01 2011
I hosted an Oscar Party last night at my condo. Here are some photos from the evening, snapped by Rachael Grice photographer extrodinaire.
Sooo the Oscars were last night...I dunno. Kind of a flop if you ask me. Franco I definitely think was smokin' something in the back room, Anne tried to over compensate for his lack of awareness (and eyes) as a host. To start the night off right...we had to get...
Peace of Mind February 28 2011
Do You remember the tree by the river....New Iron and Wine album is out. Perfect for listening to on a 'spring is in the air' walk this afternoon. It's getting warmer. The sun was BEAMING today. I went for a walk, and had to stop at a store to purchase some sunglasses....I was wearing a red coat, so of course I accidentally bought red sun glasses, since that is what I happened to be wearing...

Real Raw Righteous Beauty February 26 2011
This is a really powerful trailer for a movie coming out. I think the finished documentary will be stunning.We look up to, we embrace, we copy, we admire, celebrities and models. We tend to forget about beauty and perhaps our perception of beautiful has become warped, from magazines, movies and television ads.
Ladies and Gentleman...the Documentary : On Beauty.
Once upon a time February 25 2011
Once upon a time...there was a cowboy, a woodsman, a fishing town, and a scottish lady....They all fell madly in love and created this ensemble.

musical flavour of the week February 24 2011
I woke up this morning...to SNOW! Spring was suppose to be coming, but huge brilliant vibrant amazing snow flakes were crumbling, tumbling and falling beautifully from the great white sky.I will try to snap a photo of these amazing snow flakes if they come back this afternoon.
Although I'm dedicated to blogging, I feel the dedication wains and fades if I have to run outside in the cold in my...
It looks like a purple people eater to me... February 23 2011
It was the one a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater. Remember that song, once upon a time from our Childhood.

Golden Eye February 22 2011
I love this outfit. I think it is so geeky chic.
 |
| The sexy nerd is back in style? I like to think so. |
 |
| I got a new prescription for my eyes, since they changed a fair bit since my double lung transplant. I got these new glasses. |
 |
| I like the glasses because they are really BIG so when I wear them I don't see the frame, much less annoying then my other glasses, where the frames are always in my face.... |
Little Red...Riding Hood. February 21 2011
Here's me on a lazy Saturday afternoon going to visit a friend and her and his one week old baby boy. So please excuse the lack of...mmh "pulled togetherness" in the face and hair area shall we say haha.
Baby Boy GG is what I call him.He was so incredibly precious. I was in awe of him. Most newborns, I'm not so much a fan of the way they look, all wrinkly, red and well...ugly, but this little...

Hear me Roar. February 19 2011
Spring is in the air. I have been keeping my condo door open and letting the fresh air waft in! How refreshing. Spring may be my favourite time of year, ONLY because it means Summer is right around the corner.Last night I had a dinner party for 4. Splendid night. Here is what I wore for our dinner party and night out.
Animals usually start resurfacing to the world come spring, which is why I...
boots make my heart go boom February 18 2011
I love public transit, since I grew up in the country and never got to experience it. I think it's ingenuous, maybe though because I hate driving. Here's me heading out for dinner at my brother and his girlfriends house thursday evening.
You can see my untidy condo, that I have to clean up before my dinner party tonight! Check out the detail on the shirt. A little lace flower with sparkles and...
53 Grammy awards February 18 2011
Last Sunday was the Grammy awards. I love that awards show almost as much as I love the Oscars. As a drama major in highschool (oh so many years ago) the Oscars will always have a special place in my heart. Although music seems to feed my soul these days.Lady Gaga...HILLARIOUS woman. She showed up on the red carpet in an egg...an EGG...a freakin' egg! bahah being carried by these "greek" almost...
a little bit of plaid is rad February 17 2011
A little bit of plaid can really take your out fit from meh...to wow! It can make a little navydress go pop!There are a couple AMAZING elements to this dress; it's navy (always a hard colour to find), it has pockets (such a thrill), AND it has 3/4 length sleeves (to keep me warm in this winter weather)!

Weddings are lovely.It's amazing that two people can find each other in this crazy world and actually think, you know what, yes I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

Nomination catch up. February 13 2011
I just saw True Grit. Ever since the Oscar nominations came out, I've only been watching (with the exception of Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, the Office and Glee....ha) the nominated films, which you can check out by clicking here. As for movies or rentals, nominated movies are only allowed to be rented or seen in theatre until after the awards ceremony.Total thumbs up for True Grit. I...
Do it Yourself Design February 11 2011
I've been thinking up a "make and take" or "Do it Yourself Design" jewellery party. Where the jewellery party consists of you getting a chance to make your own necklace. Helping design the style, pick out the colours and beads and bringing or choosing what old brooch or earring you want included in your piece.
Hattitude at a home jewellery party the end of January. What a lovely afternoon.

bargain. $5 ice figure skates. January 23 2011
I got a bargain deal. $5 for a pair of skates! It cost me more then that to sharpen them for the weekends festivities. Another whole $7.
It's been SO cold in Ontario these last few days. I went skating last night and it was the epitome of what Canadians are all about.
My neighbours have a farm, and this winter they have slaved away at making a rink in their field. They have created a homemade...
Have you seen my ghost today? January 13 2011 1 Comment
I've got an addiction. And the addiction is going to my brain. I'm craving everything vintage. Not that I wasn't already before, but now especially I can't get enough of the high you get searching through thrift stores, and finding the perfect item.
I am also loving the sexy geek look. The big framed glasses, the high wasted skirts, and the knee high socks with a cute pair of closed toe thick clog...
