Jak & Jil

Jak & Jil blog is hands down, one of the best fashion sites I frequent. What is up with all that gorgeous photography? Makes me want to barf my face off. I need to go shopping.

Jak & Jil

As usual, Tommy and I were out shopping today when he took me to a place that totally blew my mind...like blew my brains out of my head. Teatro Verde is a one stop shop for flowers, home decor and gift items all at a slightly over priced pretty penny. This store is so insanely gorgeous and filled with the most special and exclusive items. Next time you're in Yorkville, take a gander.

Teatro Verde: 98 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto

It's raining, it's pouring, wtf am I suppose to do now? It's the end of July, we haven't had sun, we've been to the cottage once (and it was cold) and we've been to the family pool once. Rainy weekend days are hard when you live in a 200 sqft place with someone because you look to each other for entertainment. I can't even imagine having children right now...what would you do with them? Oh well, at least these poster planters will benefit from the ridiculous down pour.

Mike&Chris

Mike & Chris leather jackets are something I seriously lust over. Fall '09 sounds like a good move for new look fashion. $$

Love what you do what you love.

Solid graphics over at Banditos Design Co. Oh, I'll take two.

Lookie Lookie.

Oh, how great are those dress? I wish!

Homesense.

I know this place can be a TOTAL pain in the ass to shop at but to be honest, sometimes you come across gems that make the visit so worth it. This beauty above blew my mind, I bought two (retailing at 79.99 each) and placed them at the end of my bed. They are bigger then the usual stool and I'm totally in love with them.

Books & Chachkas.

Happy Monday morning. Before I headed off on my mental day, I thought I would share the bedroom that Linds and I styled last week. Dressing the empty bookshelves while incorporating the clients personal book and chachka collection was a challenge but I think it turned out pretty nicely. STUNNING!

Stan.

Tommy brought his dog Stan into work today. This was the cutest, softest little pup I have ever encountered in my life. I know, I'm dog obsessed but I can't help it! They tug at my heart!

Built-in Drama.

So, last week my one of my clients had these GORGEOUS custom built-in's made to cover one of the walls in her bedroom. This week, Linds and I have to prop them and honestly...I'm pretty pumped. Because Linds is up north for production, I have to do all the shopping myself. Kinda nerve wracking but kinda fab, I wonder what I come up with? Will post before and after shots later on this week and I'll probably fill you in on where to pick up some cute accessories too.

MSTRKRFT.

MSTRKRFT: Heartbreaker

I am SICKLY obsessed with this song right. Maybe because the video is so good? All I know is that I listened to it on repeat the drive home from work today ...and I was stuck in traffic.

:::

Ohhh props to Qwyn to posting the video. Instant love at first listen.

Hermes Hugs.

What I would do to get my hands on one of these gems. To bad I live in a place about the size of a bomb shelter, it just wouldn't make sense. Kind of like when you see a crack head carrying around a Chanel bag. Well...you know what I mean.

100 Layer Cake.

For someone who isn't exactly ready to walk down the aisle, I am sickly obsessed with this gorgeous blog. Couple of talented chicks who love putting together insanely stunning weddings and parties alike. Worth taking a look, even if you're far from it.

Succulent Love.

It's weird but I love succulents, a lot. I'm looking at one right now...in my room.

Hot Shot.

Love this shot, better yet...love those boots. Yah Fall!

Jme.

Super cute packaging over at Jamie Oliver's website.

Celeb Tweets.

My cousin Bec over at www.batlashes.blogspot.com recently made a post that kinda changed my Internet life a little. Following celebs on twitter without actually being on twitter because really, wtf would I tweet about? I kinda love checking on Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port. Love those twitpics. Thanks Bec!
