Christmas in July DOES exist!

I got totally spoiled yesterday!

One of my best girlfriends brought me a little "wonderful smelling" surprise, wrapped up like a Christmas Pressy.


L'Eau D'Issey Florale roll-on eau-de-toilette.

It's now my new Summer scent.

Thanks Girlfriend!  :D

Have a great day and remember:

Stay Gorgeous Darlings!

Oh CanaDUH!!!!

Every year, my hubby and I like to hang our Canadian Flag on our balcony to celebrate Canada Day.

At some point over the past year, in a cleaning frenzy, I put our flag some where "logical" .....And now I can't find it.

So in lieu of our usual tradition, I'm simply going to post a picture of our beautiful flag and vow to put it somewhere even MORE logical when I eventually do find it during my next cleaning frenzy.




HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE!!!!

I ♥ U "Sassy"

Does anyone remember reading "Sassy" Magazine back in the 90's?

I LOVED that magazine!!!

I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for this wonderful publication.  I really have to give my younger Sister Monica, credit for introducing me. I was about 16/17 years old at the time. She would subscribe to Sassy and each month I would patiently wait for her to finish so I could enjoy reading each wonderful page.

I vividly remember my heartbreak when I learned that Sassy Magazine would cease to exist.

Where was I going to get my inspiration to change a pillowcase into a dress? How was I going to learn about John Fluvog, sex, drugs, and alternative music?

Being a very girly Rrriot girl, the transition to reading "Alternative Press" was musically satisfying but the absence of "Sassy" still left a void in my punk DIY fashionista heart.  I was still too young to fully appreciate Vogue and anything else left me feeling empty.


I will always love "Sassy" Magazine for re-assuring me that different is awesome. No one did that better and no one probably ever will.

I would love to get my hands on some back issues so I could show them to my Nieces when they get older. I don't know if they'll appreciate them like I did, but I hope to be the kind of role model to them that Sassy was to me.

Return of the Doc!

Doc Martins are BAAAAAACK!!!!

I said they would return this time last year and slowly but surely, I have noticed little black-8 hole versions creeping onto the feet of young girls everywhere!

Of course, me being me, I have chosen instead to go to the next level and found THE most adorable two-tone pair for work!
 
Stay Gorgeous Darlings and remember you heard it from this Rude Girl 1st!

To French or not to French?

My little Sister treated her Bridal Party to Mani’s and Pedi’s the day of the rehearsal last Friday.   

SCORE!! 

We were so spoiled where we went!

I could have sat in that massaging chair while getting my toenails painted allllllll day long!

As per usual, the dilemma of what to wear on the hands and what to wear on the feet came up.  All the girls were unsure about what colours to go with, long or short, round or square? Bright or Neutral?  And so on, and so on........

As always, I think the choice is yours.  You have to wear it, so you should love it!

Now, most Brides usually go for the classic French Manicure.  It makes sense!  It looks elegant, hides any dirt under your nails and makes your diamond ring shine, shine, SHINE!!!!

But me, I changed it up a little.  I went for a very light pink shade by Essie for my hands on a round tipped and shorter nail. Since I work with my hands,  I like my them to look clean and this is the best way to do so.

For my tootsies, I went for a bright fuchsia by O.P.I. to match the Brides Bouquet.  Although my shoes were closed toe, at some point I knew I would be changing into sandals.

Et Voila! Elegant hands, fun toes!

I must say, the Salon we went to was wonderful!  They were so busy but made each of us feel as though were the only clients there and that we had all the time in the world! 

I will definitely be returning there in the future!

URBAN NAILS is located at Broadview and Danforth.
Appointments are highly recommended!

Stay Gorgeous Darlings!

The lobby of the nail salon is so nice and peaceful.

Fuchsia by O.P.I. on my toenails, baby pink by Essie on my hands.
