Sunny Days
Woo! First warm day after a long cold winter ^_^ Blogging to you live from a sunny patio.
With lots of summer events coming up, I went to two malls in hopes of finding 6 cute outfits in one go. No luck! This is why D-I-Y is always better. For those of you who are not crafty, D-I-Y stands for Do It Yourself! That is exactly what I did. I spent 2 hours at the Bay and Dundas Canadian Tire with automotive expert Dellon.. and made these!
All you need is the right tools, a good imagination, a vision and a plan… et voila!
These look ultra slick over boots but stilettos work also.

Happening in Toronto this summerHere is what the 2008 winner in Berlin said:
“The 24-year-old office worker claims to not have trained specifically for the event, but apparently she didn’t have to. “I have to run around every day with high heels on, and I’ve always been a good runner,”she spent her prize money on… shoes!

Skeleton Key
Since Obama’s been elected as the President of United States, a new hope really has been sparked amongst all those who are paying attention. In this world where truly anything is possible; how can you not be excited about the path that lies ahead? There are so many things that remind us of our purpose, the motivations and the rewards that inspire us. To me, a key also represents initiation – a trait that overcomes fear of failure.
Ever since I saw Coraline, I wanted a Skeleton Key necklace. Having a skeleton key (master key) means I can open any lock, any door and is a confident reminder for myself.
The key is an object symbolic of opening and closing powers. It represents knowledge, mystery, initiation, and curiosity. Traditionally, a silver key refers to temporal power. (relating to earthly life) and gold keys represent spiritual power. I am eyeing the silver oval Tiffany one. Here are some of my favorites.
According to Dream-Land, this is what it means when you dream of keys:
“The key represents your ability to open and close doors. This dream usually is a message saying that with the logic, intelligence and reasoning you can solve any problems. Looking at a key in the dream means that you will be told a secret or you will find a solution to a puzzle. If you are unlocking something, be careful, you might get involved into a risky adventure. If you are losing a key in the dream, because of your carelessness you might lose good opportunities. Finding a key in the dream foretells good chances in work and love. If you find a key which belongs to somebody else, you will soon find out a secret.”Here is the DIY version on COSMOgirl
