Beauty: blue smokes

feelin blue...smokey eye that is.  

Just wanted to stray from my weekday warm browns smokey look.  Let me know if you want details on how i got the look! :-)

The Crisp White shirt and Oxblood

Every once in awhile i manage to get dressed up for work; today was one of those days.  i guess it doesn't come to often when co-workers sound surprised lol.

The reactions ranged from surprise to funny but flattering comments!

To find out what I wore...

Beauty: date night makeup

Happy Monday!

My makeup for friday night during date night!

Last weekend was fun yet chill.  It started with date night, walking around robson on a chilly night and concluded with KFC lol.  Date night in is sometimes just as fun as heading out!  I still got myself all did even if we were just taking a stroll.  It doesn't hurt to get all dolled up for one night to make an effort!

Houndstooth

The days just seem to get colder no matter what the day brings --rain or shine. 

I felt like wearing a dress but didn't really want to get cold....I know I should have worn leggings but since I was spending majority of the day indoors and a heater handy in my office, I figured it would do no harm to go bare --legs that is lol.

Winter Whites



For the third week of work, the days were quite nice so I decided to wear light hues to match the gorge weather!  I love pastels and any chance I can incorporate it into even winter weather will do for me! I find that anytime you can transcend pieces from one season to another, even if it's not one after another (like fall/winter) then it's a good buy in my book!

What I wore:

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year folks!

I just thought I'd post what I wore for our annual familia NYE dinner.  Unlike the crazy dash last year of preparing for a family dinner and NYE hotel party we decided to lay low this year.  Since most of the 'kids' that went to the philipines were still still recovering from the jetlag, we were glad to have it just be about the familia.

Even thought the festivities were kept to a lower decibel it didn't mean that I wouldn't get ready as I usually would for any other family party!

I also included other holiday snapshots!

2013: Year of the Snake

Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee!

 lol my french comes in handy--whatever little of it i still remember, almost dozing off of Mr. Y's class (sorry, Mr. Y! i really tried to pay attention! haha) In fairness I always thought i was abit weak in languages...I digress...
It's been awhile! I hope everyone had a great holiday and an even better start to the new year!

If anyone in cyberspace has noticed at all (i think life in cyberia went along just fine without me! *tear*) I have been MIA for the last few months --around the exact time I got a new job.  Yes folks, a new job --a day job.  Unlike Superman who rescues damsels in distress but still manages to be a reporter or Batman who crime fights at night and still manages to look dapper and make it on time to work, most mornings I feel lucky if I make it to the door of my work by 7:30am.  I know right!? who is up that early!  My life these days is consumed by numbers and payroll. 

I am finally an adult *groan*. (don't get me wrong, my maturity level is about the same as if i was in highschool lol)

I thought I'd revisit my old stomping grounds, afterall i've been blogging for as long as i can remember...I've evolved from making my own pages in Yahoo to this...I will try from time to time to blog about life, fashion, love and everything in between that happens in my life -as always.

I hope this year will be a better year than last, and I am sure it will be!
