Today is my second day of recovery after my tonsil surgery and I'm really feeling it. I thought I would spend more time blogging and tweeting but really I just don't have the energy to do so. I haven't spoke a lick of English since yesterday at 10am and have to communicate to everyone around me through Microsoft Word because writing is way too slow.
So, in the essence of feeling blue I've decided to put a lighter spin on it and dedicate my outfit post to blue! I'm in love with this outfit and wish I had it in my own closet.
The soft pink really pops against the electric blue tones and the accents of gold give it a touch of chic!

The Oscars at Cinema Public House
Today is the day! It's the 84th Annual Academy Awards and all I really care about is who's wearing what!? I don't really watch award shows...I feel secondary embarrassment during acceptance speeches and poorly constructed (extremely awkward) jokes. However, I seem to always watch the Oscars!
Tonight I will be spending my time at Cinema Public House with a few lovelies dressed to impress, sipping on cocktails and ogling at Ryan Gosling in a suit and yelling out "Oh my gosh! I love her dress!" or..."Oh my gosh!...who dressed her?" The night will be hosted by The Donnelly Group, Booje Media and The Doctors Closet!
If you haven't purchased your tickets yet there still may be a chance! It starts at 4pm, $25 gets you a 3 course meal and $35 will get you a three course meal and 2 signature cocktails! Hope to see you!
How will the rest of you be spending your Oscars night??
PS. If you're following on Twitter you can see what happens throughout the night with the hashtag #OscarsAtCinema
prepping for surgery
Happy Weekend!
I bet you guys have some big plans this weekend, huh? I do too! I also have to cram everything on my to-do list in 3 days (which would take about 5 days) and drive all around Vancouver to do them! I'm going into surgery on Tuesday morning to have my tonsils removed (nooooooo!!!)and will be outta commission and on bed arrest for almost 2 weeks.
So... if you have me on Facebook or Twitter, you'll be hearing A LOT from me because it's the only way I can communicate! Unless I'm in a comatose state from all the meds I'll be taking.
What will I do with my time you ask? That's what today's post is about! Besides watching the hunky Jax on season 1-4 of Sons Of Anarchy it's the little necessities that can tie me over during a hiatus on my daily routines.
1. Creating I See Noise prints and filling orders
2. Sex & The City Movies 1 & 2
3. Only eating frozen treats
4. Self manicures
5. Blogging incessantly
6. Tweeting, blogging, instagraming, pinning and texting from my iPhone
7. Reading my new book "I've Got Your Number" by Sophie Kinsella
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can pass the time? Let me know!

Snowy Yellow
I'm in a bit of an odd mood today. I'm dressed completely in black and tan with touches of silver (which is rare). There is a snow storm happening outside of my windows. As I'm putting together today's Look Of The Day all I can gravitate towards are cheerful pop of color and Summer silhouettes. My mind doesn't really know what's going on!
But now about the look... this is the perfect outfit for the woman at work. You can stay feminine, classy and have fun with your outfit with the flow and the color of the top. Stay chic and business with the cut and texture of the skirt and add a bit of an edge with some spikes on the wrist and heels!
I'm meeting with a new client today for coffee and will be helping her put together some work appropriate outfits. I can't wait!

Look of the day
some sparkle, a commercial and some glitter
I've been super busy lately filling orders for I See Noise that I haven't had much time to blog - I'm sorry! Which sorta makes for today's post to be extra juicy because I'm going to pack in a little bit of everything!
But not to worry, I'll be posting everyday as per usual after today's post...and if I don't... you can't get mad at me.
LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN!
Shopping Finds:
Since being busy I haven't had much time to shop, however on Monday it was my mom's birthday and what does every woman want any day of the week? Jewelery!
Eric and I got her a great set of pearl earrings and a simple necklace - which I will be borrowing from time to time.... OK, often.
Must Watch:
I came across this commercial for the fashion blog Cheyenne Meets Chanel and am obsessing over it! I haven't been to Shea's blog before but became an instant fan. I've also never seen a commercial for a fashion blog before - so ingenious!
Must Read:
Tuesday was a great day - I must say! The Glitter Guide featured the home of Monika Hibbs of The Doctor's Closet (you'll die when you see it) and it just happened to also showcase one of my I See Noise Prints! The Chanel print sold out TWICE and is re-stocked today so make sure you place in your order by tonight to have it shipped tomorrow!

6 squares of a weekend
It's back to the Monday grind for most of you - I have a ton to do this week. It's a big hard to prioritize so many to-dos throughout the weekdays but luckily I have my pretty "Things To Do" list that keeps me on track!
I got accepted to partake in the Portebello West Market March 24-25 to showcase my I See Noise Prints! If you're in the area make sure you stop by to get your own print and some other great items from the market.
Also, today Erin from The Sparkle announced the winner of the I See Noise print giveaway! Congrats to Kristin Brophy :) I will be sending it out this week for you to drool over! For those that didn't win, don't worry! Leonie from The Signature Bow will be having an I See Noise giveaway of her own!! Stay tuned on her blog to watch out for it.
Anyhoo.. How was every body's weekend? I had a fun filled one myself! I thought I would share some snippets of the pretty things from my weekend for those of you that don't have Twitter or Instagram!
Enjoy! xoxo

Last Friday marked the grand opening of CB2 on Robson street and I must say, this was very long awaited! For the first time in a long time the uppity Vancouverites of downtown can now have an affordable and trendy home decor store just blocks from where they live.
A big thank you the entire team for putting together such a fun filled event! With Eric as my date, plenty of food and drinks, great people / familiar faces and music to
The merchandising team has done such a wonderful job on putting together all areas of the store to make you feel right at home and eager to grab everything in sight, prices range from $3 - $3000 making it affordable for everyone!
If you're not familiar with CB2, it is the sister store to Crate & Barrel. While C&B offers trendy and classic styles ranging up to $6000 for a couch, CB2 brings in the trendy with the lower prices.
Make sure you stop by their new (very large) location on Robson Street! You can receive $10 off your purchase of $50 or more at the door and prizes of $500 gift cards given away!

Crossing the lines
This look is a little bit out of the ordinary for me. Typically I would gravitate towards all of these items except for the maxi skirt. Once I saw it, I had the entire outfit figured out. This outfit took me outside of my comfort zone and is still set on my inpsiration for the Spring transition outfit.
I particularily enjoy this shillouette, the skirt nips in at the waist and creates an ultra long leg. It's casual yet put together and appropriate for day and evening.

Shopping Finds - first time items
Ever tell yourself you're not going to shop, and yet, without fail you purchase more than you intended? How about when you tell yourself you're not gonna shop - and you don't! But then a week goes by and you say "I've been good" so you purchase something, and yet, without fail you end up in a downward spiral of shopping!
So ya, that sums up my past few weeks! However, since last Wednesday I've had some great days for finding great items that were extremely inexpensive that I've never had in my wardrobe.

Beauty Tips w/ Tamar - Lashes, Liner & Lips (& the finished look!)
Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!
Today is the last installment of Beauty Tips w/ Tamar! So far we've gone through contouring your face with foundations and powders, creating an eyeshadow look for night and shaping your eyebrows.
Today we work on wing tipped liner and mascara.
Step 1: Liquid liner should be a one step flowy motion. Starting at the mid section of your lid work your way out to the end of the lid with an angle upwards. It may take a few tries if it's your first time!
Step 3: Depending on your mascara wand you can create volume in different ways. With a volumonous mascara lay the wand on the top side of your lashes moving left to right, seperating the lashes.
Step 4: This time, lay the wand on the bottom side of your lashes, move upwards.
Step 5: Apply the gloss!
TA-DA! Finito!
Products used today:
(Plā) Beauty Bella lip gloss

Are there any looks you want to see? Let me know and Tamar & myself will get right to work!

Today's Shopping Finds post is JAM PACKED!! YEEUPP!! You know what that means right?... I'm broke! Not really.
Today is probably one of my favorites because it adds in a little bit of everything. I've got home decor, beauty, clothing and accessories to show you.
So, get out your charge cards, take one more look at your bank statements, clear your calendars, grab your keys and head on out the door! (But wait till you finish reading this post ;) ) I've also got a fun announcement at the end!

A great pop of color with some animal print! Orange silk tee from Winners $39.99 / Michael Kors belt $17.99
Leopard oversized duffle, perfect for a carry on or a long day out of the house! I've had my eye on this bag for a few months at Winners and nabbed it for only $20.
A gorgeous 24k Gold Dipped Quartz pendant Necklace gifted from Simona Van Villet of Magic Loot Designs - you may remember her from her great giveaway of the geode necklace. To purchase this necklace for yourself click HERE.
I've been on the hunt for the perfect self-sharpening eyeliner pen - this one is great! Avon Glimmersticks $2.99 each (on sale).
I'm sure you all know my love for Voluspa candles by now. They retail between $20-$40 and I grabbed these ones from Chapters for only $5.75 each!! They were on sale for 75% off.
During my trip to Lynn Steven in Gastown I fell in love with these Patch NYC candles! They're 100% soy and have a 20 hour burning time - perfect! 2 sizes available, this is the smaller one for $17.
I've been looking for a mirrored tray to fit all my perfumes (and room for more) but it's been a bit of a struggle. I purchased one from The Cross Decor and Design and loved it but unfortunately it wouldn't hold all of the bottles. This one works perfectly! Winners $16.99.
It's always nice to get organized for the day with pretty items - this to do list keeps me on track on for only $7.99 from Chapters.
During a speedy trip to Ikea with my mom last week I made sure to hit up the "as is" section to see if there were any steals of a deal. There was! This large white coffee table (although basic, still functional) was only $30 because of some small scratch you can't even see. It works perfectly as a book shelf since I've moved my shelf into the office and have it packed with my supplies! To the women we had to fight off for this table - ya snooze ya loose!
Have you found any great deals lately? Do tell!
So, now for the exciting news. Lynn Steven in Gastown will be the first Vancouver retailer to carry original I See Noise prints! They will be available on Friday February 10th so make sure you pop by and grab a few!

Office Essentials
As I've mentioned before, I am renovating my home office! Just the other day, out of the blue I decided to paint it and give all the existing furniture a new look. You can see the paint color of the walls in the post below. I spent my day yesterday spray painting my workshop table and floating shelves white with a lacquer finish - I love them!
It's important for me to have a great space to work in considering when I'm home I spend the largest portion of my day in my office! It's comforting to be surrounded by beautiful and fun pieces and not the typical stuffy office feel.
It's a definite work in progress and I'm doing a little each day, below are a few items that I'll be adding to my office to make it feel a bit more special!
Small Storage Boxes w/ Label Window - Ikea 2/$6.99
Opal Glass Mini Lamp - Chapters $60
File Holders - Ikea 2/$7.99
Hand Cast Triangluar Sculptured Bookend - Chapters $25 ON SALE $10
Large Storage Boxes w/ Label Window - Ikea 2/$14.99
Voluspa Laguna Candle - The Cross Decor & Design $39.95
I See Noise Chanel No. 5 Print 24K Gold Glossy - $20
Pull Out Storage Units - Ikea 2/$6
Burnt Toast 7 Day To Do List - Chapters $7.99

Shopping Finds - and a quick office change!
IT'S FRIDAY!! I hope everyone is doing something fabulous this weekend! Today is another edition of "Shopping Finds & Favorites", one of my favorite posts to do every week!!
If you follow me on Twitter and Instagram then you would know that I'm currently re-doing my office. I've taken the plunge on a whim and painted my office "Echo Lake" blue - a bit of a bluey-green. I first saw it as the logo color for The Glitter Guide and it always made me feel inspired. So...I painted it...I hated it (it was so obnoxious in this big space)..and now I love it! I'll be adding accents of white furniture with silver and gold accessories. Exciting!
During a stroll through Winners the other day I came across this beautiful photo frame in 3 different textures for only $7.99 and had to have one of them. It adds a bit of shine and sparkle when the light hits it and goes perfectly against the new wall color.
I also spotted a large gorgeous white porcelain vase - perfect to hold pink peonies flowers. It gives some life to the office and adds that touch of pretty. It was only $12.99!!
A favorite of mine for some time now has been re-designing my old furniture and accessories with a simple solution - spray paint. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend it. Spray paint comes in a huge array of colors / shades and also different textures / shines. I recently took an old white lamp and painted it gold (will show you soon), remade old photo frames into lovely gold fixtures and now will be turning my dingy work station table in a fab white lacquered table as well as my floating shelves!
It's cheap, simple and makes for the perfect quick fix! Have you spray -painted anything to make it new?

If you follow me on Twitter and Instagram then you would know that I'm currently re-doing my office. I've taken the plunge on a whim and painted my office "Echo Lake" blue - a bit of a bluey-green. I first saw it as the logo color for The Glitter Guide and it always made me feel inspired. So...I painted it...I hated it (it was so obnoxious in this big space)..and now I love it!

Available in just a few areas of The United States this is a product that NEEDS to come to Canada and beyond - it's the type of makeup we've been looking for! Besides helping all of us women look fantastic and simply gorg all day we get to do it while being friendly to the environment and we get to give back!
(Plā) Beauty makeup is environmently friendly and is in support of the Children's Hospital of Atlanta, a portion of the proceeds to each purchase will be given to the hospital. By using magnetic casing and refillable products you too can help cut down waste. The story behind the line is close to Stephanie's heart and once you read it, it will soon be close to yours.

The line consists of everything you could possibly need to look great! All products come in extensive choices of color making it the perfect choice to find what you need.
A big thank you to Stepanie and Jessica at (Plā) Beauty for gifting me with a pretty Bella lip gloss (officially my favorite) and a pallet that I simply can't get enough of! The application of all of these products is effortless and just what I've looking for. Thanks ladies!
