Spotlight...

My big surprise is...... I am a model. Well kinda.

A mild, so far one-time only, clothing store fashion show model.  Well frankly if you model once doesn't that mean you’re automatically a model? hahaha  The fashion show is this coming Saturday, I will do a post on it for sure, but last night was my ‘fittings’ night.  I was able to assist with picking out my ‘looks’ with the store staff; I have evening/dress, work/office, date casual, denim, and denim with jacket look, so many!!!  Here are a few pictures I snapped while trying everything on.  Oh!  Also, thanks to my sister for coming with me and lending me her great fashion advice, she is the first official member of my ENTOURAGE! hahaha

Gripe...

That time of week again, GRIPE!  This week the item comes from {Forever21}, yes what you are seeing is correct, FRINGED LEGGINGS!!  Really?! who designs these things?!  If someone would know how to wear these things please let me know, because I cannot think of a way to make these look good.  Well wait!  Halloween is around the corner, a cowgirl perhaps?! hahaha  Happy Gripe

Adore...

I cannot wait for the new movie “A Day with Marilyn” to come out starring the ever graceful and exquisite Michelle Williams playing Marilyn Monroe.  I am big fan of both ladies talents and I truly do think Michelle will do the late beauty justice in the movie; or at least I am hoping.

VOGUE has released pictures of their coming October issue that has Williams on the cover as Monroe.  Stunning.  Here are a few pictures for you tease you with till the magazine hits newsstands on September 30^th; they are gorgeous works of art.  I cannot wait to read the article and see all of what Williams has to say.

Just Because...

Well not all of my festive-fall furnishings went up this week as I had hoped.  Being too lazy-dazy to clean the house, I didn’t want to display much without a good fall-cleaning first.  However this adorable door handle has been hung!  Welcome to my cottage in the city and welcome to fall!

I have some exciting news about what is happening this week and tonite is the first evening!  I will share it all with you tomorrow!  So look forward to that post.

Inspiration...

Here are some pictures that I am oo-ing and aww-ing over from New York Fashion Week from one of my favorite street fashion photographers, NAM at {STREETFSN}.   

Enjoy, and be inspired.

Fall Fun...

This past Saturday I spent a gorgeous September day out in the sun at Springfield golf course here in town.  My family and I are apart of CHERYL’S HOPE, a charity golf tournament in memory of one of my mothers dearest friends, Cheryl Pollard.  All funds raised go Princess Margaret Hospital to raise money for endometriosis cancer, which after a 7 year battle took Cheryl’s life.

A sold out event this year we cannot wait to hear what the final amount raised will be; last year we rose over $10,000 and I think we beat it this year.  Big thanks go out to all those who volunteered, raised funds, participated or donated prizes or money, the event was a great success only made by those who help.

Spending a great day in the sun, having fun, and for a good cause, I couldn’t think of a better way to usher in the fall season.

Below are pics of me on the course, I wore Old Navy khaki shorts, an Old Navy linen ruffle shirt (same as the one I wore {here}, looks totally different), and my Reebok golf cleats.  The last pic is of my sister and me just chilling on the course waiting to tee off!

Hope you all had a great weekend filled with sun, fun and laughter too!

Finds...

What better way to celebrate the arrival of a Friday then to have a new ice cream flavor!  “Schweddy Balls” the newest flavor {Ben and Jerry’s} is based on my favorite SNL skit and I am sure yours too from the holiday season starring Alec Baldwin!  The official website says this:

“Available in both pints and Scoop Shops, this flavor is Fair Trade vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum and is loaded with fudge covered rum and milk chocolate malt balls.”  

Sounds delicious!!  I hope it’s available in Canada!  

 Here is the skit to make you laugh!

This weekend I have a golf tournament tomorrow for Cheryl’s Hope (will have a post on it next week) and on Sunday I plan on a major FALL YARD and HOUSE clean up and putting out all my fall/Halloween house décor!  I love this season and I will show you all my lovely house additions so you can get in the fall mood right along side me.  Enjoy your weekend everyone!
