Fresh faced for Spring!

Every so often I go a little nuts with the mark. shopping - today I received a box filled with goodies (mostly for myself).

It Kit (and mini-brush set): 3 shadows, bronzer, and the inside flips to reveal 3 all-over cream shades & 3 lip glosses - perfect for any mini-vacations... or weddings!
Gloss gorgeous: lip gloss that wears off into to a lip stain (in Pop)
Dew Drenched lipstick: pink posy (the tube is so cute... smaller than my thumb, but it's full-size inside!)
and, an SPF face lotion for oily skin. It is actually AMAZING. Not greasy or goopy at all.
So, I'm all set for summer!

I think...

Paish should do her next "what she wore" in this style... what with that handy empty frame behind her and all.

Also, it's official.

I will be attending Moksha Yoga Teacher Training this fall in Montreal! September 13- October 13. My lovely friend Katrina lives there so I'll be crashing at her apartment. (which basically translates to laundry & sleep, because I'll be at the studio from 6:30am- 7:30pm, 6 days a week!)

what she wore- welcome spring edition

Hmm.. perhaps in this image I am staring outside at the glorious 8C weather. It's expected to hit -get this - 25C this weekend! I cannot wait.

I feel like this dress will be a spring favourite. Love the neutrals, and the length. I also got lots of pretty new spring/summer makeup colours from mark. as well... watch for a post soon!

Dress: mark.

As mad as a hatter

Was reading an interesting article about "Killer Fashion" in the paper today, and learned something new about the "Mad Hatter" character...

...hatmakers were forced to rely on cheaper furs such as rabbit. But in order to turn these alternative materials into the desirable hats, hatters had to brush them with a mercury solution which led to mercury poisoning.

"Symptoms of mercury poisoning included pallor, anemia, disorientation and trembling," says Matthews David -- the exact symptoms that Johnny Depp displays as the crazy Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's current box office hit Alice in Wonderland. Matthews David says that Alice author Lewis Carroll grew up in one of England's busy hat making centres in the 19th century. It's likely he saw the "mad hatters" that led him to create the fictional character in his now famous book.

Interesting!
