A Once-in-a-Lifetime PhotoShoot

It was for this photo shoot on Trenton Air Base with my bff Suzy.  Still can’t believe she pulled this off.

Beautiful, eh?!  It’s Trash Couture [site plays music].  It’s heavier than you think.

We had a _lot_ of laughs on this project.

I turned the photos into a video.

Then the photos ended up on the walls of here.

Neither of us have made photo albums of the photos, bad, I know. Click here for a couple collages, that’s it.

It was by far, the most expensive thing I’ve ever worn, almost 5 digits.  Second most expensive dress.

 

I Love to Sew

Have since I’m very young, single digits young.

Gotta work out what to do with the sleeves.  I think the shoes on the right are more correct.

I also enjoying quilting, look:

That stitching is quite intricate, and gold, so beautiful. And just to say it, that’s a difficult pattern.

It’s made out of handkerchiefs, and NEVER again don’t do it; the material is too thin and very tough to work with.  Click here to find out why the photo of said quilt is so bad, and here to meet Andy, who I gave it quilt to.  Ahhhh the benefits of having had a blog forever, that last link is from 2008!

Oh wait!  Just had a great idea… I’m gonna go grab some embed code, one sec…

Kay – here’s the video that’s playing in the above photo…. so meta.

I recently lost my miiiiind over this song. It’s Skrillex and I’ve been OCDing out.

The break at 0:40, listen to at least that, because when have I ever blogged about music? Only once before.

 

 

Some Things

In no particular order, here we go.

I want to drive the crap outta this thing. Played cars with my 6 year old BFF, easily the kid I like the best in the world.

He mailed me a portrait recently, see how he’s really highlighting my esophagus.

Here’s my esophagus in real life last week.

Quite like this outfit I put together; you already know I love skirt pants and fanny packs.

Then I got all dramatic in my hood.

Drove many many kilometres last week, stopped in a playground along the way. Sometimes you just have to escape your car, eh.

You’ve met this pal before, James. He’d told me his latest invention moments before this was taken, and it’s one of the best online business idea I’ve heard all year.  It’s so simple.

I can’t say anything more, for obvious reasons, but we laughed hard over it, you will too. If you need to hire a solid webshop, he’s your guy.

Great photo of Casie and I.

Look how mooooody  (I did not mean for this post to be so car-centric).

I was sitting on my hood watching the stars, thinking about dogs.

One of my top three favourite places in the world is getting one. I’m taking the change harder than the family living there, I think.

I wouldn’t call myself an animal fan. I recently randomly was in charge of a black lab for a couple hours, this is the first time I’ve walked a dog in ohhhhh seven years at least.

Lastly, last night I cheered on my fellow blog girls at the Crystal Light Purse Challenge Fashion Show, congratulations ladies! Looking terrific! Sorry about the grainy photos, they all came out like this, I don’t know why.

Held in the Design Exchange, which was originally Canada’s first Stock Exchange, learn more about this Art Deco wonder over at The Canadian Explorer.

Do you even know HOW many Canada facts I have stored in my head?

I can do this All. Day. Long.

Kay I gotta run, TTYL! xo Keri

Hope You Had a Great Weekend, Too

Friday night game! Hooow great does the top of this blog post look.

I accidentally end up here at least once a year.

This is the Jay’s star player, Marc Rzepczynski.

I’ve never stayed longer than 4 innings.

Yes it’s busy, but our feet need these, so much stomping.

Oh get THIS!

Stella Artois asked, “want a shot at hosting a party for 200 of your pals downtown?”. YA I do!

I’ll let you know in a post tomorrow what we have to make happen, but really, if anywhere a party for such thing should happen, it’s right downtown.

First time I’ve ironed in a year and half.

It’s nice to not have to drive, sometimes.

Took a break from the internet, my phone… I hope you do that, too.  It’s important to disconnect.

Peel back the plastic and go inside.

The outfit far right I’ll wear again.

Note my fanny pack in the middle; here’s an old blog post – why I like fanny packs.

Left is a joke between Casie and I.

And here’s Casie and I at dinner last week.

For mostly my files: I had the nearest thing you can get to a perfect weekend.

Here’s to a great Monday and start to your week!! TTYT Keri xo

dermaglow and the Lightbox and NO Scent

dermaglow is a decade-old Canadian company that produces skin care products really well.

Last week they threw a party to launch their latest line, and I helped celebrate!  It was a sunny afternoon, at the top of the TIFF Lightbox, look how beautiful.

Hiya Casie!

Click here to read her post, especially the meta part, ahaha oh I love meta.

I’d love some, thanks. And it was SO good.

When have you ever heard me talk about or recommend food here…. never, exactly, THAT good. Oliver & Bonacini.

I accidentally matched the decor.

Meet Solen, Product Development Manager, the lady on the right. Her accent is so pretty, and during her presentation the Twitter stream was filled with such comments. There’s a lot of science in action; they’re inserting molecules into other ones, so the inside ones don’t touch your skin. I know.

Did you know some companies add wax? Dermoglow has no parabens, articial frangrances, dye or soap.

Yup NO SMELL. You know how I feel about smells.

Now meet founder Jerry Smith, welcome to my bloooog.

60% of their products have anti-aging agents, and they have SPF products, so important people please: remember to wear a lot of sunscreen this summer.

This is their The Essential Line – 6 core items formulated as the first step in skincare. 4 cleansers and 2 moisturizers, 3 of which ought to cover you just fine… 1 exfoliator, 1 cleanser, 1 moisturizer ($45).

I ran a test this weekend, just their stuff. Conclusion: my skin is happier, bouncier, if you will. And my skin is sensitiiiive, I have some bad stories.

Coming soon is their newly re-designed packaging, keep your eyes peeled around early fall. Minimal, white and blue, I like it ;)
