Cartier de Panthere Look-a-Like

If you remember I posted a few months ago about my love for the gorgeous Cartier de Panthere ring as seen on Rachel Zoe, Cameron Diaz and Kristen Stewart. This beauty is made of gold and precious stones and has a hefty pricetag of $20,000 plus...Not so much within my humble budget....but oh so pretty!

So imagine my delight, when I stumbled across this great Cartier look-a-like on ebay a few weeks ago:
I know it isn't exactly the same, but for a mere $30, I am pretty happy. It is big, chunky, a little obnoxious, with tons of character! I love it! Now I just need a fabulous place to wear my new fabulous ring. Hmm...Here is a link to the ebay seller if you're interested: http://myworld.ebay.ca/msn20082008/ They were really easy and friendly to deal with. I would definitely recommend them. :)

Oh How I Wish I Was This Creative

Stephanie H-F is a friend of mine from high school. She was always super cool, creative and a little kooky. She was/is an amazing artist. Whether her medium is oil paint, digital photography, fabric, or yarn, she creates the most amazing, unique pieces. If you are looking for a little amazing inspiration go to her website/portfolio: http://www.stephaniehf.com/index.html Steph is also doing a 365 day photo project in which she takes a photo of herself every day for one year. She comes up with some really neat photos! Her downtown Vancouver loft was also recently featured in Wester Living magazine. She is an interior designer by trade, so it's no wonder her place is gorgeous! Check it out for some amazing creative inspiration!

Tickets are Booked!

My parents retired this summer, and are embarking on a 6 month road trip across North America with our two doggies later this month. Over Christmas, they are going to be in Guayabitos, Mexico staying at their friend's house. They kindly invited my sister, Cael and I to come and join them over the holidays. I am so stoked! I haven't been to Mexico in a while, so I am really excited to go. Here's a pic of the beach in Guayabitos, a sleepy little town an hour north of Puerto Valallarta:

I Loved This Movie (and still do!)

Did anyone else love this movie when they were a kid? I absolutely adored this movie growing up! It's Thanksgiving Monday here in Canada today, and Cael and I are having a relaxing day. I was channel surfing and came across Babe. I had to watch it and reminisce! So cute!

I Got Them!

Yay! I finally got my gorgeous Frye boots! After careful deliberation, I decided to go with the Frye Engineer 12R's. They look pretty much exactly like the Veronica's I wanted, but are $60 cheaper. This isn't my pic, but a pic the seller took for me. I am so excited to rock these in a couple of weeks!
