Birthday festivities

Took my life from negative to positive
And I just want y'all know that
And tonight, let's enjoy life
Tonight I will love love you tonight
Give me everything tonight
For all we know, we might not get tomorrow
PITBULL - GIVE ME EVERYTHING

It was great to come back from vacation to gorgeous sunny warm weather!  Unfortunately I did not make it to the beach this weekend but it probably would not have compared to the Dominican beaches anyway. I had a great time with family and friends: had some great meals out, shopping, parties, I went to so many different bars and had drinks with my girlfriends and all in all it was a great long weekend here in North America.  For Canadians it was Canada Day and of course July 4 is Independence Day in the U.S.A. and somehow it always seems to time out perfectly for a nice long weekend.  I hope yours was great too and here are a few pictures!
On the way out for dinner before my camera died!
Dress - Kate
Necklace - Tiffany's
Cuff - Holt's

At the Albion the night I turned 24! 
Dress - Suzy
Flower - H&M
The glowstick around my wrist was a wristband for the club.  Check out the necklace my girlfriend is wearing, I bought it for her in the Dominican!  
With some girlfriends before we went out.
At the Blue Jays game with my dad!  It was my first time seeing it live and it was a lot of fun except that I was feeling pretty rough from being at so many different bars and clubs over the weekend.  My dad bought me the hat, super cute!  I went to The Keg for dinner and then saw Transformers 3 - I recommend it highly, lots of action but the 3D didn't really do anything special except give me a headache.  I am off to bed have a great week!
I bought a new skirt from BCBG at such a steal and I love it!  Stay tuned and especially for trend updates I have lots!

Cheers to 2011

I drove for miles just to find you and find myself
Only screams all these voices in my head
You gave me strength gave me hope for a lifetime
I never was satisfied

This time won't you save me; this time won't you save me
Baby I can feel myself giving up, giving up

It's a new year and I am taking some time to re-evaluate myself, my habits and my life.
I am loving my new semester at school.  Way more useful and less stressful than last semester.
My job is really mellow and I have a lot more time coming up to do what I love which is writing, fashion, blogging, and promotions-- I really want to go above and beyond for my blog.  I haven't been using my new camera much or utilizing my creativity in the way that I want.
I have been hardly updating at all but I PROMISE this will change.
Expect big things for 2011 from my blog.
Thank you so much for reading!
I will do a belated Christmas post in the next week to post some of my goodies and hopefully get an outfit up for you too.  Fashion trends and tips coming up too!
For now just a few pictures taken with my Blackberry from New Years and my Alberta trip. 
I was visiting with my best friend and dad for two weeks and here are some highlights from my trip.
My Deadmau5 hat!! I found it on a table at the concert my best friend took me to.  Deadmau5 for those who don't know is a DJ from Toronto and he definitely rocks the crowd!!  I've met him before at Guvernment years ago and he kind of creeped me out.  He definitely has skill though!!
Pre-club drinks.  We had champagne and my favourite mixed drink, tequila & tonic.
Getting ready at my best friend's condo!  We decorated a bit as well.
My best friend decorating her condos and some yummy martinis I made.
Dancing up a storm at the club!  The necklace was given to me by my best friend too.
Drunk eyes - love Nat's make up.  She took a make up artist course so she definitely has skills.
Countdown!!!  Deadmau5 only played for an hour and he didn't come on til midnight so everyone was chanting his name at this point.
Cheers!  Happy New Years!!!!!

Wearing:
Dress - Marciano
Clutch - Coach

We went to a hockey game too...and I spent an afternoon in Banff with my dad.  Here are a few pictures!
