Anthropologie in Alberta!


Wheeee! Such great news on this cold, wintry day. Anthropologie is soon to open a store in West Edmonton Mall in Alberta. If you love Anthropologie as much as I do, this is cause for major celebrations.

They even sell items that are made in Canada, like the cool Nine Pin Earrings above - very cool.

It almost makes going to the mall bearable.

Almost.

Sound Styling

I've taken to carrying copious amounts of food around with me at all times. Part of my healthy-eating, YAYOBA kick. The dusty, beer-chillin' cooler bag just wasn't maximizing my style. So began my search for a cooler bag - focus on the COOL.

Through my search I have deduced that cooler bags fall into one of three categories:

1) Utility: think Walmart, red and navy with plenty of zippers
2) Obnoxious: think Budweiser and Harley Davidson
3) Impractical: think faux-Burberry design, large enough to hold a few carrot sticks and a bottle of expensive water.

The solution I found really has its' own category - Burton.

You know I love Burton luggage. Big fan. Should have known Burton would create the smartest cooler bags too. The Lil' Buddy even has a set of battery powered speakers you can plug your iPod into. The sound's not Sennheiser but it's pretty fun to have music with your cooler.

Good side zip compartments, sturdy zippers and loads of funky prints. Love it.

We're So Vain: Tickle Me Francey


Yes, the fingers (and now toes) are constantly on display. If you're like me, your hands and nails are the hardest body part to maintain. Someone actually asked me once if I was a GARDENER?! Rude! My hands were even clean.....

I've found a nail polish color that reduces maintenance time. It's very close to nude in color so won't show chips and wear as quickly. Tickle Me Francey is from OPI's La Collection de France, Fall 2008 and is lovely for Spring 2009 as well. So pretty.

Now I will paint my nails, sip my latte and dream of getting my butt to France.
