GGG Consumer No. 2: Ugg Australia Ear Muffs

classic tasman vs. marquis knit, all $75usd

...which ones, which ones? I need to order them online asap so that they'll get here in time! I'm just really having a hard time deciding: I really love the printed band of the Tasman ones, although the knitted ones are textured all over, which I love. Should probably eliminate the lighter colored ones (nooo) since knowing me - I'll have them dirty in no time. Let's see here. The color "scheme" for most of my snowboarding shit is white, gold and black so really, any of them would match and look dope on the slopes. Another factor swaying my decision is the fact that Stoneridge has the below shearling ones and I can have them ordered to my house by the end of the week... HELP! HELP! HELP! What's a (cold-eared) girl to do?!

Speaking of cute sparkly frocks, that Jimmy Choo x HM tank that I was fangirling over a couple posts back is going for $200+ on Ebay... alright c'mon it's cute, but not THAT cute. =/ I guess I can easily let go of it considering I just found out that this year we're not even having a legit staff Christmas party (nor will I need it for the anniversary, where we're going I need to bundle up)! The previous years we've done them at Calgary's ultra chic resto-lounges Velvet, Blink, and SeVen - this year (wait, this is my 4th Aritzia holiday season?!) we're just doing a little dinner, and we're not even allowed to bring our significant others :( Boo, although I'm sure the company has bigger and better ideas to spend their money on eh? As IYBC says, big things poppin' over here.

This is definitely one of those non-calendar events that help me judge that the Holidays are nearing... kind of like the arrival of Christmas cups at Starbucks only sexier. This year's annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs on Tuesday, December 1st at 10/9C on CBS.

GGG Collabo No. 1: Jimmy Choo x HM

{fashionbits&bobs}

Need this exact little sparkly number in my Life... really, this is all I want from this collaboration. It would be perfect for your staff Christmas party (Dec. 6th), your outfit to meet Gabe (Dec.12th), your 4yr anniversary date (Dec.18th), your New Years Eve par... shoot, somewhere in there I made it all about me, huh? Well, special occasions aside, lately in the mornings I've been looking into my closet, only to be staring at everything - completely uninspired. And unsparkly (hmph). I feel like it is a famine of beauty in there right now... A FAMINE OF BEAUTY, HONEY! Hmm... the wallet does seem to be "full-er" though, however. Are we making the appropriate causal connections here? Yay, go me.

The Weekend:

Work * Payday! * Ezap's 20th + Kristia's Debut = Zapata Celebrations * Saturday morning belated birthday brunch with my family * Work * Lil Bro's birthday present in action (Dane Cook tickets) * Work * 25th Anniversary sale chaos * Work * ...Monday.

I wasn't lying when I said there are sooo many October/November babies!

Sometimes it's smart to step back and take a look at where your money goes. Personally, I'm guilty for never doing this, even with the technology to do so in the comfort of my own home or via miPhone on the go... then all of a sudden I'm buying a coffee and my card declines and it's embarassing and I say "It's payday tomorrow, OKAY?" and I run away with the latte without paying for it. No, I'm not actually that broke but I am beginning to be THAT addicted to coffee...

So let's see here, in the past couple of days: a boyfriend flannel, two pairs of Happy Socks, an early birthday present to myself from the bookstore, paid off my speeding ticket, pulled out the cash I owed my Dad for tuition, the madly addictive LineUp (the Boyfriend kindly gave me a loonie so I could buy the Pro version), and a handful of grande Caramel Brûlé lattes. Extra caramel toppings - which are free, thank God.

Hey, I guess that's not too bad... besides I'm working six shifts next week (top secret shit), so all that labor will eventually make up for it all, right? Enjoy the rest of your weekends everyone!

GGG Birthday Guest No. 12: Raymond, 21

My Boyfriend^ turned 21 over the weekend! Now he's allowed to drink, smoke, gamble, and watch strippers legally anywhere and everywhere around the world. Hmmm.. let's go for pho and see who's down to watch a movie tonight? Sounds good, haha. I've been a fan of being a little low-key lately. But man, do I love just being here to hit Life's milestones with you.

AFTER, 11.03.09

Finally Tako can see! He got home and he decides to sleep right away... I wonder if dogs understand irony? Or do they have other things to worry about? Like being so frikken cute? PS: I need some bloglovin'!

Spotlight On The Bunny

So I bought this long-sleeved "waffle" dress the other day... turns out it's "basically a thermal, Babe". This is true. Oh well, the better to stay warm during snowboarding season my dear. Hmm, I'll show you guys my board one day. That was my dope birthday present for my 19th and I really want to just use the shit out of it (with TLC) this year. :) Speaking of birthdays... my Boyfriend's, his brother's girlfriend AND my Mom's are all this coming Friday. Life is full of coinkidinks, guys. I love my Madeline for taking my shift for me (since somehow I totally forgot to book that night off) so now I have alll night to spend with them. Anyways, enjoy the silly pictures! This little bunny is off to go study.

Oh No She Didn't

Black Leather YSL "Tribute" Pumps //
Someone's selling them here on SAYM, $500 US

Purpose of this post? I dunno, maybe one of my readers has a) itty bitty size 5 feet like me b) the money to spend on these beauties c) an undying love for Tribute's d) all of the above... personally I'm lacking the b) option. Thought I'd share just in case, you know? Nothing would make me happier than to play Matchmaker and have one of you girls set-up with these. Pay it forward!
