Making it Sunny through the Rain
Somehow, each time it rains all options of fun things to do go out the window, the excuse being… “It’s raining”!
CP24 is saying we’re looking at a few days of this stuff so instead of letting it put a DAMPer on having fun I’ve compiled a list of ‘Stuff that’s fun without the sun’ lol… njoy· Get lost in a good book – to name a few… ‘A year in the Merde’ by Stephen Clarke & ‘Remember Me’ by Sophie Kinsella
· Download some new itunes
· Paint ur nails a sunny color – I love coral or electric fuchsia
· Exercise – hitting the gym always gives me a fresh start to the day
· Clean out your closet – this way when the rain dries you can easily grab your cutest ensemble and enjoy the sun
· Check in on heydoyou.com – xoxo 😉
· Shop… shop… shop – malls are always a warm, dry place
· Start a ‘to do’ list – of all the fun things you want to do this summer
· Have a spa day – complete with a facial, manicure, pedicure & massage
· Hit a museum or gallery – you don’t know what you’re missing until you get in there so hit up your most creative of friends and check it out if you never have… the galleries of Africa & Greece at the ROM are a few of my favs
· Have a film fest at home – I’m in love with TCM (Turner Classic Movies)
· Bake yummies – cupcakes, cookies, croissants, cinnamon buns… mmmmm
· Lastly… as an English chic by origin I still see the fun in putting on a pair of Wellies (Wellington rain boots) & trenching around outside… to each their own!xoxo[above: Marc Jacobs Wellington Boots ($145) below: Jimmy Choo Hunter Wellington Boots (£235), Burberry Stud Trim Wellington Boots (£225), J Crew Men’s Wellington Boots ($115)]

Dog x Honda Element
New York Auto Show 2009 unveiled the new ‘dog friendly’ concept car for Honda Element. I personally think that it’s a great step towards the new age life style.. but I don’t want to be the ‘dog lady’ – I don’t want the Element to have the same Minivan stigma from the 90’s. Who knows? I personally see me and Jacob in drop top but that’s just me. It’s funny because I always shy away from guys with ‘fancy’ cars because I know he probably won’t take a muddy/wet Jacob and me on a hike anytime soon. I found this commercial that made me laugh:
In Japan (where Honda is from) there are more dogs and cats than there are children under the age of 15. No wonder. I travel a lot on the subway and streetcar with Jacob but I think having a car + a dog is definitely a plus. You can leave your dog in the car when you are running errands, he can sleep in the car when you are shopping and you can go to more places that are far away together.Man’s best friend’s best friend. Now friendlier than ever.
Dogs agree: The Element is one of the most “pet-friendly” vehicles ever. Now we’re taking a good thing and making it even better with the new Dog Friendly™ Element concept coming fall 2009. The specially designed collection of accessories will include pet restraint systems, a folding ramp, pet bed, water bowl, electrical fan and more—all designed for the safety and comfort of your beloved canine companion and you.The Dog Friendly™ Element made its public debut at the 2009 New York Auto Show.
The Dog Friendly™ Element Concept is likely to include:
- Pet restraint systems
- Cushioned pet bed
- Load-in ramp
- Dog-pattern second-row seat covers
- All-season “dog-bone” rubber floor mats
- Spill-resistant water bowl
- Electrical fan
- Tote bag
- Dog Friendly™ exterior emblems
- A leash, collar and dog tag ready for custom engraving

Soooo SAD! Photo faux pas!!!
Went to two of the most anticipated parties in Toronto this weekend… took photos galore of gorgeous Torontonians… Went to upload them to the blog this morning only to find photo dilemma after photo dilemma…First and foremost; NEVER lose an Olympus camera’s USB cable because “GOOD LUCK” if you think you’ll be able to find another one that fits… IT’S NOT A UNIVERSAL SIZE & neither is the only memory card that’s compatible with it! So (two hubs & a flea market later) I decided I would take logical option number two; burn to disc at blacks… and that went fine… except for the fact that when I got there at 5:15pm I discovered that blacks is the only store at the Common Mall that closes at 5!!!! :SNeedless to say…uber sozz, photos will be up tomorrow… I PROMISE!!! xoxo - Uncategorized

Red Sunglasses
There is something about sunglasses that really add that pow to your summer outfit. Besides adding mystery, rock star quality and blocking UV rays – sunglasses really allow you to check guys out without them ever knowing. Red sunglasses are the ish this summer. Red can mean so many things, you can use the color red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Use red when you don’t want to sink into the background. Use red to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of red goes a long way. Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of red and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette. sourceBold red plastic frames: from Jessica Biel to Lindsay Lohan to Paris Hilton
LiLo looking fly in red sunnies (Photo source: Shefinds.com)The best place in Toronto hands down for trendy unique sunglasses is none other than Kensington Market. They have at least 5 stores with a huge selection. Over 100 different types easily and not more than $5 a pop. Kensington Market is on Spadina Ave south of College, north of Dundas. Go get yourself a pair or ten. ^_^
Here are my red sunnies + my dog Jacob
