Tiptoe Through The Tulips…

Spring is here finally *crosses fingers*, and as I sit and write this blog entry, I am greeted with the sweet sound of robins singing in the sky just outside my window.  Hoping for the day when the crocuses and tulips start to break the earth.  It is still cool outside, too cool to take my early morning coffee to the balcony and enjoy the morning sun, but I know it’s coming, and soon.

No complaints though, we had such a mild winter (in Toronto), and I couldn’t be happier that we didn’t have massive amounts of snow, and bone chilling cool like we Canadians are supposed to be “used” to, so for that Mother Nature, I am thankful.

This post was inspired by a wonderful Shop*gasm reader who answered my call about being stumped for something to write about.  Her name is Ashe Anthony, and she listed a few stores that I had rarely visited before she mentioned them.  One being Sand Shack Surf Co.  

Today I bring you lounging in the grass :)  When you have had a stressful day and everything has gotten on your last nerve, nothing is better than getting in a nice comfy pair of yoga pants, putting on that shapely but still oh-so-comfortable and still sexy shirt, some roughed up boots and heading to the backyard to just lay in the grass, toss your cares up to the sky, and let it all dissipate from your body.  I know completely almost zen-like, but it’s what I think about after a day from hell.  Thankfully all these amazing items can be found at Sand Shack Surf Co.  Their clothing is amazing, I bought a few more items than the ones I am blogging about, but make no mistake, their vision for sexy yet comfortable clothing is what caught my eye. 

So if you are looking for the perfect lounge wear, or something to dress down, or go to tai-chi in, or just want to be comfortable and sexy at the same time, it is completely do-able.  So head over to Sand Shack Surf Co., grab some items, and lay with me in the tall green grass as we welcome spring, and shake off the cold of winter.

Strike a Pose, Revive & Revitalize!!

You know...running a shopping/fashion blog can sometimes be construed as a rather big ... job.  You want to put looks together that not only express your personal style, but also want to bring things to the general public that are palpable.  And in doing that...you end up spending ... a lot. And sometimes, you can't go and get the latest outfit...or sweater, dress, jeans...what have you. So you have to pimprovise (as a RL friend of mine likes to put it) by reviving an old look and revitalizing it with new accessories and/or new hair.

So...while pimprovising my favorite free kimono from an old hunt at Sassy Kitty, I found in my inventory some Native American-esque jewelry that I bought ages ago, put them together and even nabbed my brand new Kalnins just to round out the look and see if it worked out. While I did that...I surfed the web and came across a plus sized teen model that won some competition on Tyra Banks' website.  Well in looking at this stunning young lady, her scroll had some very cute poses I hadn't seen before, so I figured...oooh....let's find new poses too!! LOL

Enter Kurt Mortensen, owner of WDK, a new pose maker whose star is clearly on the rise.  This guy makes couples poses...good couples poses and while he has a few indy poses, he focuses more on his couple/group shots.  When I first happened upon his store, I immediately fell in love with it.  I mean c'mon...his group tag is called "dork"!  How can you not love a place like that? ^.^

Anyway, I asked if he did customs and ... HE DOES!! So I sent him the link, told him what I wanted and off he went.  24 hours later....he tells me it's ready. Forty eight hrs later, he was gracious enough to ask me to shoot with him for the ad and I got to bring one of my besties, specifically...the wifey...with me for the ride!! Such great fun!! Thanks Kurt for the pose...and the pick...and extra time w/ the awesome Quinny aka "Wifey".  Style notes below...
