Happy Monday Morning everyone!  Hope you had a fantastic weekend and were getting your holiday party on.  Just 12 more days till Christmas and Santa, I cant wait!


Let's all start to think a little brighter in clothing choices!!  The Pantone Colour Institue named "Tangerine Tango" as the top colour of the coming 2012 year.   What a fun colour; you cant help but have a smile on your face I think if you were to wear "Tangerine Tango".  I need to add a piece of this into my closet too!


 

I put together some items that you can get NOW so that come 2012 you will be all set!  
And of course on trend!  Just click on the clothes to see wear to purchase them.
Tangerine Tango!

Adore...

The movie NEW YEARS EVE comes out tonite and I am very excited to see this star studded casted movie in the coming week.  Its done in the same multi storyline way the movie Valentine's Day was done; so if your a fan of that movie I am sure you will enjoy this one.

On Monday at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the movie had its California premiere and some of the lady stars of the flick came out in their cocktail best!  It can't help but get me thinking of what I will wear this New Years Eve?  It also made me realize that I got to start making some plans!


Enjoy the dresses and your weekend everyone!

Winter Fun...

I do so much blogging sometimes I forget to post on events and outfits I have worn in the past weeks.  This is one of those posts.


Three weeks ago my girlfriends Cindy (right), Shannon (middle) and I attended a casion night themed Gala hosted by {CarStar} to raise funds for {CysticFibrosisCanada}.  The event was held at {Carmens} in Hamilton and we got all dolled up to attend!  Cindy is wearing this great maxi from {DorothyPerkins}, Shannon's LBD is from {leChateau} and mine is Michel Antoni for {AdditionElle}.  A combination of accessories from {leChateau}, {Aldo} and {Payless} round out the looks.


Shannon and I playing with our hundreds!  All of us were 'KILLING' it at blackjack!
Best part we got to sit all night and not stand on our heels for hours! lol 


All girls need a little bling right?  Check out all three of us were sporting some MA-JAH cocktail rings.

This night is one of my favourite of the entire year!  Not very often men wear tux's or great three-piece suits and we get to pull out our fanciest outfits for a night out.
I am already looking forward to the next gala and what we will all wear!

GRIPE...

This Wednesdays GRIPE I just can't imagine these VELVET leggings working with anyone.  Although somewhere in my heart of hearts I can kinda see how these 'might' work for a very adventurous fashionista!

Leave it to {AmericanApparel} to not release these in black (the most feasable colour) but in, woodsmoke, burgundy, plum perfect, royal blue, fern and metal!

Oh AA, what will you bring us next!?!  HAPPY GRIPE WEDNESDAY!!!!

Two weeks ago I received my NOVEMBER EDITION of my new monthly cosmetics sample box from {LooseButton} and again I was not disappointed!  and from the friends of mine who got their boxes they were thrilled as well!  Here is a recap of what I received and already excited of what else is to come in the December box.

 

Lise Watier Plumpissimo Le Gloss:
recap: for those of us who want a little AMP to our lips without the needles.  It is a Dehydrated Hyaluronic Filling Spheres penetrating small vertical lines and instantly expand on contact
usage: I already love LIP VENOM by Sephora so I look forward to trying this one for a night out for a perfect pout!

Mereadesso, Beautiful Body Balm Lotion:
recap: high performance, non-greasy, all over body balm.
usage: perfect to throw in your purse for easy hydration.  However on a sad note, although I am still using it I am not very fond of the smell. 

Lise Watier, Couler Folle Mineral Loose Powder Eyeshadow:
recap: a loose eyeshadow is always easy to apply and control the intensity of colour.
usage: This colour is very fun, so I would mostly use it for 'events' not typically everyday use.

Benefit Cosmetics, B.Right! Moisture Prep Toning Lotion:
recap: apply to skin before moisturizer to help absorb and get the benefits of your daily moisturizer.
usage: who doesn't need a little extra help with hydration? Everyone!  So this is a perfect addition into your daily skin care routine

TEAOPIA, Cactus Fig Tea Kit:
recap: Organic Sencha Green tea infused with fig pieces, aloevera, sandalwood and orange flowers.
usage: It is tea, do I need to explain usage?!  Will say this, I could smell this tea from outside the box (when I didn't know it was tea), the smell alone made me open my {LuxeBox} faster then I normally would have!



Now for all of you are wondering what this is all about!  {Loose Button} deals with deluxe samples from some totally amazing companies and when you sign up for $12 a month (ridiculously awesome I know) they send you a box full of goodies!  The boxes are all slightly unique based on a quiz  you fill out based on your likes etc, so its always a surprise what your treats might be!  I love this monthly service and think its a stellar idea, and I encourage you all to sign up!

Winter Fun and WIW...

Cindy and I were lucky enough to win tickets to "The Time is Now" fashion show hosted by model Liis Windischmann and her new endeavor, {OnTheCurveEvents}.  Her mission is to bring curvy girl fashions to the fore front of what is happening in the fashion industry; well she did it.  The event was attended many bloggers and industry folk, the models were from {BenBarry} and stores like {GussiedUp}, {Toni+}, {LolaandGigi} and many more supplied all the fashions.  We had a great night out in the city so big thanks to Lise for having the event!  Not to mention it was fantastic to meet some other bloggers that embrace their curves!!

Winter Fun...

Happy Monday Morning FimC readers!


As most weekends go, they happen way to fast!  This weekend was full of lots of fun things for me, especially on Saturday.  The ladies in my family and I spent the day in Toronto shopping at The Bay, Eaton Centre and of course the new Loblaws in the old Maple Leaf Gardens.  We had tons of laughs, each got some great items and by the end of the almost 12 hour day we also had some tired feet!

While at The Bay I got to meet Jessica and Ashlee Simpson who were there to promote their new tween line!  Not a bad day when you get to meet a mogul I think!

 
What I Wore:  swing coat- Old Navy, jeans- Pennington's, top- Forever21, oxfords- ALDO, bag- H&M 
This is mum and I trying on shoes, what else!  Notice my new hair colour; 
I went darker for the winter season.

 
And to top off the post the gorgeous Swarovski Christmas tree in the middle of the Eaton Centre.  Beautiful.
