Happy Friday.

try a little tenderness

A Friday night viewing of Pretty in Pink reminded me how much I love Duckie Dale, Otis Redding, and how badly I want that army green Korea jacket Molly sports throughout the film.

freebie

While being an unpaid intern is rarely glamorous there are some perks in working in the wonderful world of magazine publishing. This morning a spanking new lipstick in a vampire just bit my lip shade of red landed on my desk courtesy of my editor in chief (by way of Chanel). I have been meaning to pick up a fire-hydrant shade of lipwear for a while now but I always seem to make a last minute decision that pinkish beige is a much more appropriate choice. This little treat has brightened my day and will be brightening my mouth all weekend long (assuming I can pull it off that is).

Just around the corner in every woman's mind - is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her.

Time for some fun!

bonne fête

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you.

Katie darling turns twenty-five today, and since she made such a lovely birthday list pour moi I thought it only polite that I return the favour. Without further ado, my top 10 reasons why Miss Merch is worth celebrating …

1. She understands just how much love (and work) goes into producing dense cappuccino foam.
2. She knows how to bust a move during a 4am electro (or occasionally, a Britney Spears) dance party
3. The woman can pour a real glass of wine
4. She always gives in to my Hamilton nostalgia whenever I (used to) pay her a visit – you’d think there would only be so many times one would put up with window shopping at Pure followed by bean bar pesto – but Katie’s happy to indulge.
5. She’s managed to land herself one heck of a man…anyone who wakes me up with a non-fat latte and a blueberry white chocolate scone after an impromptu sleepover is a keeper in my books
6. She loves books…good ones…and she’s always happy to recommend/let you borrow her inspired literary choices (the same goes for movies, music, fashion – the woman is a pop culture savant)
7. She leaves hysterical and completely unintelligible voice mails that have me howling with laughter every time
8. She totally supports the universal truth that leggings > pants
9. A total class act in the kitchen, Katers has culinary skills that put the rest of us to shame – she has come such a long way since her signature dish from university days: frozen chicken fingers
10. She’s full of adventure, from her covetable wardrobe to her latest move off to Korea she never ceases to amaze me, if not make me a wee bit jealous.

And while I miss her dearly I know that she will have an absolutely wonderful celebration today. So raise a glass of champagne for me my dear, and toast your fantastic self. Happy 25th!

it takes two

Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock said it best - it does take two to make a thing go right (music-wise anyways). And tomorrow I will be going to this music festival, to see two of my favourite electronic duos: Toronto's own MSTRKRFT and Norway's Royksopp. Both are pretty outta sight in my opinion. Weeeeee, I'm so excited to dance! Hit it!

thank god it's friday

It's the weekend! Put on your party outfits & celebrate the warm weather, while it's still here. TGIF.
