New Obsession ~ Garnier BB Cream

I am not one to wear a lot of make up especially when it comes to foundation. I hate the heavy coverage look and feel. But I feel as though I have found a miracle product thanks to my make up artist Kaeli Chelle! Garnier BB Cream - it offers some of the best coverage yet looks very natural and feels like I am only wearing moisturizer! It truly is a miracle cream as far as I am concerned! Even better - it is only $12 at Target!

COLOR: OXBLOOD

How To Wear Oxblood in Summer

You may have noticed as I have, that the color Oxblood (deep burgandy/red) is hitting the stores like crazy! So how do you wear it now during summer? Pair with neutrals or if you are feeling gutsy try hot pink!

C Wonder ~ SOHO New York

I was recently in New York and of course shopping was on the top of my priorities. While strolling around Soho amongst the boutiques and street vendors was a familiar looking shop with an unfamiliar name - "C. Wonder".

It is fun, bright preppy store that is a cross between Tory Burch and Kate Spade.

Retailing everything from women's handbags, shoes and clothing

to jewelry

home decor

to pet accessories

and fun, colorful gadgets, gifts and knick nacks

What a great store but I learn that it comes with a scandal - it was opened but Tory Burch's ex husband, Chris Burch and co-founder of her brand, who still sits on her board. It's all too similar and retails at a slightly lower price point. I decide not to purchase anything but if you are in the area, in the market and aren't bothered by it's rumoured replication, there are great buys to be had.

August Long Weekend in Calgary: What's Happening?

Calgarians use the long weekend to go on out-of-town trips and to spend time with family and friends. Activities include camping trips, hiking tours or quiet retreats. Many families and tourists plan to stay in town and visit museums such as Fort Calgary, which celebrates Alberta’s Heritage Day with interpretive tours, movies, crafts, face paintings, a treasure hunt and genealogy presentations or the Glenbow Museum which hosts a free Heritage Day celebration.

Below are three activities to partake in this weekend if you decide to have a "Stay-Cation" in Calgary.
