You're so Vain...

Hi folks,

After intensifying my hair skin-care moisturizing rituals...the harsh winter weather seems to wreck havac on my sensitive body (secrets to be shared soon!)...I have realized that every fashionista needs a designated place that makes her feel even more beautiful as she gets ready to meet her public and/or at the end of the night when she is taking down all of the glamour of the day!

Also I find that it gives a bedroom or a luxurious bathroom that extra PUNCH!!! with a great display of personal items, jewelry boxes and various fragrance bottles showcasing her style personality from minimalistic to over-the-top fanciful:

What I'm Into....Versatile Furniture

Hi everyone!

Lately I am intruiged by how some folks live in a place that's less than 350sq ft. and have so much harmony, raise a growing family and are able to invite house guests.

Below are some ideas of versatile and multi-functional decor that is quite impressive to say the least:

A daybed and with a second bed (trundle) underneath:

Below is a video from a company that has made it their mission to find innovative solutions to creating multi-functional products:

Incorporating these items may be a bit pricey but well worth it in my book, to accommodate a busy lifestyle!

What I'm Into...Cactus Plants

By no means do I have a "green-thumb", however the bloom of this Christmas Cactus plant at the office is taking my breath away. I LOVE its hot-pink hue!

Learn more about this wonderful flora!

What I'm into...Food & Drink: Bon Temps Cafe

Had Sunday Lunch with some great buddies of mine on 2nd Avenue in Saskatoon, SK at:

 Hana (love my shades on you!) and Sharon looking beautiful as always!!! 

Love the decor and the vibe in this place, it's a fusion of French, Latin and Creole cultures from
New Orleans, LA with several seafood dishes and spicy items (just the way I like it!):

We ordered Jambalaya, Crawfish Pie, Pan-Fried Snapper and a Strawberry Margarita...yuummmmmy!!! 

 Met the amazing staff...Leah and Miranda;)

The washroom is covered in colourful mirrors...this one was my favourite with all the detailing!

Check out this unique resto if you are in the city and want to explore more of your adventurous side!

What are your weekends made up of???

A Wild Night!

Hello my pretties!

Over the weekend I was able to host a few friends over at my place for a dinner party with an animal print theme!!! Nothing like your best buddies coming over to make you clean your home and actually use a pot!

Below is a the inspiration picture:

And the rest are the creative visions of the party:

I thought of using real flowers, but then the maintenance is another thing the hostess has to look after, and we all know there are enough details to worry about already, so I went with the fakes.

The "table-runner" was actually two scarves I bought and artfully taped down on top of a white table cloth to get the same pop(!) as the inspiration photo...also I had a tough time finding an animal print table cloth and didn't think about the fabric store till the day of...

Also I was lucky to have such great candle and candle-holders as well as the plastic martini glasses already at home (thank goodness for the dollar store!!!)

Our buffet table with yummy items including coconut shrimp, vegetable noodles, samosas, seasoned potatoes...

With the "place mats" I actually bought a yard's length of mesh mat material and cut it to use for the dinner.
