CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
I had a rock collection when I was a kid. It was a great one at that, since my neighbor is a geologist. I should have brought back some of my rocks to form something neat like one of those Himalayan Salt Lamps. I’ve seen those around in stores lately, they’re sort of pretty. Right? Maybe a nice Mother’s Day gift? Eh eh?!
I mentioned before that I had a hair appointment coming up with my new favorite stylist for a new cut and crazy colors put in my hair.
Well, that needs to be put off yet again because I received a phone call from another salon that just opened up… and I freaking won a free hair cut and treatment! (Treatment!!???)
One day after my running class ended, I was a sweaty mess and walked back into the gym — in the atrium they had a booth set up presenting a new hair salon and new makeup. I filled out a ballot thinking nothing of it, and they called me on May 6th to say that I had won. How crazy is that? Happy early bday to me, wha?
I feel sort of bad for accepting it, because what if she sucks? I know that’s a bad thing to think about. But you have to understand that I really scope out new stylists years before I end up going to them. I stayed with one stylist that I didn’t like, for two years only to get the courage to go to a new salon — which I did, and I fell in love. Now only after going there just once, I’m switching again (only one time though). I love male stylists, I think they’re the best. So don’t worry Dan! I’ll be back in July!
I made my appointment the same time as I originally had my appointment with my favorite new stylist. Guess I won’t be seeing him til July. Whoooops :)
Winning a haircut, getting a raise, new friends, birthday celebrations. Could last week be any better?
I don’t know how I ended up stumbling upon Life is Short…Buy the Shoes blog but I did and I’m happy I did, because on May 5 — cinco de mayooo ow ow margaritaaaah day. She posted an outfit that she was wearing and also where it was bought from. What the store is like is similar to an Anthropolgie store but with a lot lower prices — it’s called Francesca’s Collections. I only browsed through the site quickly, so I don’t know if they ship to Canadians
Here’s a list of things which I think are cute:
Reminder necklace $18 [ x ]
This whole outfit [ x ]
Kinda love this sweater. Do I have to hold it together though with my arms? I’m not sure if it “closes” properly. It’s so hard to tell since there’s only one view of it. Best yet? It’s $28!! [ x ]
The store even sells cute little jeans! [ x ]
Yellow purse!!! [ x ]
