OOTWW

I had an emotionally exhausting week. All I can say is that it was bitter-sweet in the sense that I got things off my chest that was built up, and in quite a professional matter. I was surprised at myself at how I presented myself in that situation. I feel like a more confident person because of what’s been going on. Due to privacy issues I won’t get into details, but a few people have stated that they are proud of the accomplishments I’ve created for myself over the past few months. I’m very proud of standing my ground, and won’t let things go unnoticed. That was the “sweet part”.

As for the bitter part, which I really do dislike talking about, and try not to often but; My Dad has go to back on chemotherapy. Even though he’s had a quite a long break from the “rat poison” as he sometimes refers to it as, it was “expected” but we had hoped that it wouldn’t turn out that way. Regardless of that, he’s a pretty chipper, laid back ol’ Daddio and he’ll do what he has to do. Just wish I wasn’t a three hour flight away from visiting them. Sometimes you’d just like to be there, you know?

I’m ready for the Family Day long weekend, let’s bring it on. I won’t be blogging until Tuesday, so don’t expect anything on Monday — ha ha!

ootwwSorry, no “Fun, Fit and/or Fashionable” post this week since no one submitted anything and I didn’t want to go digging for something to just post.

If you’re in a province where you have Family Day — then have a great long weekend!

Fossil now shipping to Canada

Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of Fossil products. From their watches, to their purses and clothing line. It just so happens that I browsed Fossils site in January and I noticed that they now ship to Canada. The Fossil store that’s in my city right now only sells the accessories (purses, watches, some jewellery and sunglasses) but they don’t sell the clothing!

I’m not sure how often I’d actually purchase from the Fossil.com store, but it’s neat that they’re now offering it. I wonder if I’d get charged duties if I were to order these amazing giraffe shoes?

fossil-shipping-to-CanadaMy co-workers as you know (from here and here, here and even here!) are hooked on Fossil just as much as I am. Well two of them recently purchased a few things at Fossil and let me photograph them for the blog. Hey, I get joy out of the smallest things. I say that’s a good thing!

I’m not entirely sure what this watch is called. But L bought it for her husband as a gift. It’s an automatic watch which means you have to shake your wrist to keep it moving. Wearing it daily and going about your daily activities keeps the thing tickin’, so it’s pretty neat as it doesn’t require a battery. You can search more on the Fossil website for the men’s watches available. Fossil-Vintage-Revival-Fram Vintage-Revival-Frame-Clutc

Jeanne purchased this great cranberry colored cluch. It’s called the Vintage Revival Clutch and retails for $85.

  Fossil-polka-dots

I love it when my co-workers buy Fossil stuff! How fun. They have their new spring collection out now, which is all fun and polk-a-dotty. I spotted this polk-a-dot zip clutch when I was getting the tour of Fossil Canada HQ back in the summer, and I really wanted to spill the beans that some cute collections were coming out for Spring 2013. But I didn’t know if I was allowed to. Now, you can buy it for yourself! It’s alllllll available in their new arrivals section.

I think I’m obsessed with this teal color. Perhaps it’s because I’m partial to their Explorer collection. I already own the salmon colored Explorer flap! Fossil-Explorer-Flat-Clutch

GOR-GEOUS.

It also comes in an Explorer zip, which is alright too.Fossil-Explorer-Zip-Clutch

How often do you buy new purses or wallets?

I go through purses like no other. I have a “drawer” full of them. As for wallets, I like to keep it the same. I’ve had the same Juicy Couture one for a few years now, and it’s definitely seen better days.

This was not a sponsored post. As always, love Fossil so I thought I’d share the love. ♥

OOTWW & TFF #17

ootww

I think I may have to make a trip to the eye doctor soon. My left eyeball has been giving me an issue that I apparently didn’t realize I had until I complained to the Boyf last night. He said it wasn’t the first time I complained about it. Which got me a little panicked because I have a short term memory and didn’t realize it had hurt earlier in the month.

It could also be due to strain on the eyes as I’m at a computer for a good 13 hours a day. Working 8 hours, then coming home and either blogging, or doing something on my iPad. So, I think next week I’ll pop into the eye doc and see what’s going on. It feels like I’m getting a sinus flu. That’s what the pressure on the eye feels like. Know that annoying feeling? Jeesh.

I’ve also been trying out new foundation samples at Sephora this entire week. From Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, Nars Sheer Glow, to Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H. Unfortunately I love all of them. Why did that happen? I’m usually unbelievably picky when it comes to picking out a foundation, and now I happen to love all three? Lame. That makes it difficult to choose.

Here are my fancy smanchy outfits from the week. I’m partially pleased with the colors this week. I have no idea if I changed anything or they are the exact same as last week. Let’s pretend it’s not the latter…

Onto Triple F Friday:
