this is my second haul video. it features recent beauty purchases from gosh and mac cosmetics, as well as all the goodies my parents picked up for me on their trip to portugal. i'm a very lucky girl.
as always, i appreciate feedback on these videos and if there are any particular things you'd like to see in them.
i will probably do another haul video after i return from my nyc trip next week, because i'm sure i'll be doing a lot of shopping.
***side note, how good is gossip girl and vampire diaries so far? i'm loving them. it was so sweet when chuck was trying to keep blair motivated on her school domination this week, he's the best. i;m also freakishly obsessed with hell's kitchen, which is weird as i've never watched the show before. i really want dave to win, team one armed bandit. he would fit in perfectly in whistler.
it was one of the best shows i've ever seen and i've seen some amazing acts. it had a lot to do with the crowd/band dynamic. the boys were loving us, calab was smiling the whole time. he said after the first 4 songs we were the best crowd all tour and that coming into hamilton they weren't expecting much (if you've never been to hamilton it's a city of 500,000 and they make steel there so half the city is pretty waterfront and half of it is towers of flames and piles of rock) but they'd never come to canada again if hamilton wasn't on the bill. calab said we made the show an experience the band would never forget. they were joking with us and with each other about how they couldn't even hear themselves, everyone was so loud and into it. they bowed for us forever after their 3 encore songs. i was standing dead center, ten rows in and stared at caleb all night but there was no sign of lily. although the place was packed so she could have been there. as for their reputation of no stage presence i must disagree, they were dancing around, very talkative and rocking out. whoever says that hasn't seen them with a good crowd because they were phenomenal last night. caleb was also drinking gatorade most of the night so perhaps that made a difference. i can't wait to see them again! but if the show isn't as good i'll look to the words of the boys, "if it's not forever, if it's just tonight, it's still the greatest!" nothing can tarnish the memory of last night.
i went with my sister. thanks for these pictures christine! it was her birthday present from me. you can see us above.
i wore my vintage over the knee boots, new hudson jeans. wildfox tank that exposed my mesh aritzia bra, zara scarf, twenty8twelve leather jacket, mulberry brooke bag,and oakley glasses.
the last national park i visited on my utah trip was bryce canyon, about an hour north of kanab. it was another beautiful drive and you knew you were getting closer when you started seeing hoodoos. hoodoos are tall columns of rock that were eroded down by the wind. it's the big draw at bryce, where there's a canyon full of them, as you can see in the photos. it was much colder in bryce so we didn't do the walk through the hoodoos instead i took a horse trip into the southern end of the canyon and my mom did a similar trail but by foot. the final two shots are ones she took from inside the canyon. the scenery was out of the world and the two hour ride was amazing. i have some pictures of me on my mule shamrock and some pictures from our last two days in las vegas but they're on my mom's camera so i'll post them at a later date.
not exactly fashion related but for those interested in my trip to utah here's part one of my recap.
after flying almost 5 hours to las vegas my mom and i hit the i.81 for our 4 hour drive to best friends animal sanctuary, just outside kanab, utah. we drove through desert and canyons listening to xm satellite radio and taking in the scenery. we traveled through nevada, arizona and utah before stopping in st. george for starbucks and groceries. when we hit zion national park it of course started pouring rain. it was kind of scary going through the tunnels and switchbacks through the mountains but soon enough we got to best friends. best friends is in beautiful angel canyon on 33,000 acres. we had to take some pics as soon as we arrived, it was so lovely. the next day after our tour we headed to dogtown to volunteer. that's where we met dixie, our sleepover dog. such a sweetie, we took her out for a long hike and then back to our cabin for some r and r. the next day we spent more time in dogtown walking and feeding the animals before i headed to the horse area to help groom the horses and clean the pastures. it was an absolutely beautiful place, and amazing organization and an unforgettable experience. it was pretty cold at the beginning of the trip so i spent most of the first three days layered up in multiple leggings and hoodie combos. thank god i brought my gloves and toque. i also broke in my new shearling hiking boots and thoroughly destroyed my white chucks in the red canyon dirt.
it's hours away from midnight and i'm about to slip into my green chiffon mini dress and siggie ankle boots and party the night away. i wanted to wish all my readers and friends out there, all the best in the new year. here's some pictures from christmas day where i was lucky enough to have my mom play photographer. she's the the best.
