I usually bake when I’m bored and this delicious pear bread from Deb over at Smittenkitchen.com is quick, easy and delicious. Yes, the Christmas tree was still up, I made this bread on New Years eve.
Also, I discovered “Blush It Off” by L’Oreal and it’s the perfect natural pink hue for my nails.
On another note, I’m sad to say that I am physically and emotionally exhausted making it hard to feign happiness through this blog. I need a good cry, sleep and a meaningful hug. However, seeing my cutie Gloria with her tongue out makes me slightly happy.

If there is any designer out there who knows perfectly well how to construct basics, Alexander Wang easily takes the gold. Can’t you just feel how soft that zip-up is? Take that American Apparel!

I know it’s 2010 already but I had forgotten to post my Halloween costume from a few months ago. I was a Louis Vuitton inspired bunny but pretty much the entire night I was mistaken as either a “sexy bunny” or the evil bunny from Donny Darko. I suppose when you don’t hang around with fashion nerds such as myself, no one would really point out that the costume was partly inspired by Marc Jacobs.
Excuse my “dark” arm pits and super tan right arm, they’re really not like that. This photo was taken under such poor lighting, I had to fiddle with the exposure in Photoshop.
P.S. Vikings just lost to The Saints 28-31! :(

I am so jealous of her bone structure! I mean, how gorgeous was she when she shaved her head for V for Vendetta? As well as that faux-hawk she sported for V magazine? Damn. I’m sure she still looks like a goddess when she hasn’t showered in days, has greasy hair and boogers hanging from her nose.

I’m ten days into 2010 and I have yet to greet all of you through this blog a very Happy New Year and very Merry Christmas! Forgive me, that’s just how I roll.
Wade and I decided to stay in Canada for the holidays. We kept a low key night by having dinner at home (with my killer homemade bread rolls) followed by the exchange of presents. A couple days later, we braved the mall for the boxing day sale. I managed to snag a few things including that star printed jacket from H&M but Wade was the real winner that day when he walked away with a $99 peacoat marked down from $300!
Even though we weren’t able to see our families this year, it was a really sweet Christmas we had together. I hope all of you had an amazing holiday no matter how small or big it was. :)

I give H&M props for being on trend but most of the time I walk out of the store empty handed since the price to quality ratio usually disappoints me. However, their Garden Collection is definitely turning my head back towards their direction. It’s made of recycled and organic garments and that red dress is going for an easy $40! Now this is something to distract me from this winter weather.

Since I naturally incline towards wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, figuring out how to “layer” for the winter months is still quite a task for me, which is why God blessed this world with other women who naturally has this trade down. For once I’m intrigued by cable knit cardigans even though I’m pretty sure in the past it hugged my baby fat in all the wrong places.

As much as I wish to be in a clean bill of health this holiday season it is just never the case for me whatever time of year it is. I can now add “vertigo” to my unfortunate list of predicaments. My days are filled with excessive tea drinking, mind numbing TV and Oreos.

Happy three year anniversary to me and my baby croutons! He got me Ray Ban wayfarers since I could hardly afford to put down over a $100 for a pair of my own. Of course, it’s also tradition to open up Photobooth and take some obligatory grainy snaps to commemorate the special day before heading out to 7 West for dessert and coffee. I know, I know, Gloria looks the coolest between us three.

Remember when I said that I gained about three pounds during my trip to Minnesota? Well, I wasn’t kidding. Part of the reason is due to the annual Minnesota State Fair. The entire day pretty much consisted of eating. We started the day with corn dogs, followed by deep fried pickles, spaghetti and meatball on a stick, a tub of Sweet Martha’s chocolate chip cookies, 1919 root beer float, deep fried cheese curds, barbecued steak sandwich and the list goes on.
Since I am up here in Canada and I celebrated Thanksgiving around Halloween, this is my tribute to you Americans! Go and be with family and make sure to don on some stretchy pants for extra helpings at the table. Happy Thanksgiving!
