the dubai sky

My fellow sour-candy loving, period-film adoring, mini-wheaties consuming, and beautifully-designed-things appreciating friend, Lisa (click) shared this short film with me.
She thinks its awesome, and I equally, think its awesome too. I love how literally every single still could be a (pretty darn amazing) photograph.
The filmmaker shot this in Dubai throughout 5 days and nights. 
Doesn't it make you want to go and see it all for yourself?
Dubai seems so incredibly gorgeous.  

catch up revamped

Personal Fact #139274107410.
I love ketchup.
I'll eat it with almost anything and everything. It is definitely my #1 sauce choice.

And I have just discovered that Heinz has revamped their packaging. What?



You can now dip your food IN it. You can also now squeeze the ketchup ON your food. AND it comes with three times more of the sauce.

How brilliant.

but the snow is so delightful

Last weekend, a couple of my girlfriends and I went to Blue Mountain to go boarding.
Besides the fact that it very well could have been the coldest day of this winter yet (-24 or something insane like that), we had a fabulous, fabulous time. 
Black clothing was immediately turned into snowy gray. Faces were a painful red due to windburn. BUT. Beaver Tails were served on top of the mountain.
Frostbite... what? 



There is a new espresso bar bakery in the village there called Royal Majesty. It was actually love at first sight. Interior decoration was adorable. Food was immaculate.
If this place was in Toronto, it'd be my 'it' place. As in, I'd be there all the time. For serious.
Go, if you're ever up there. 



Snowboarding. Sigh. We seriously have a bittersweet thing going on here.
Sometimes, you hurt. But, I'll always like you.
Because when its sweet, it is sweet.

{P.S all these photos were taken on my friend Yury's iphone. I want this camera on my blackberry. I DO.}

"they f****** forgot my birthday"

Sixteen Candles.
Just watched it for the 15th time? What an awesome movie.
I love 80's chick flicks. Pretty in Pink. The Breakfast Club. Sixteen Candles.
Come on.
And don't lie - you know the fashion in the 80's was wicked!

the dresses, oh the dresses part II

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.
I thought Carrie Underwood and Lea Michele (thee GLEE chick) looked gorgeous. 

On another note.
Dot dot dot...



I'm trying to decide if I think this is brilliant or just straight-up weird.
I think, I think its both.
