Party Steez


I cut her hair, she cleans up my coffee spills, I feed her cake, she makes me laugh. The night that followed us was filled with dancing, champagne, laughs and reuniting with friends. ALL LOVE. Snapshots of the girls in their 'dress to impress' attire. One thing about having outings with these girls is that they're always ready to show off great style. Feel free to admire.




This is Jory (right), formally known as 'jbaby,' simple black -neck dress fits for any occasion, in this case dinner+dancing. I didn't get a shot of her heeled boots, but she paired with them brown studded boots! Very cute. A dress that can be worn for a night out in town or played casual. I don't know if you can notice the pocket on the side, but even that little bit of detailing makes the difference. (L)





Birthday Girl, Hannah, dressed all in white, with bright red lips, love the contrast! And the ruffled dress, made top.

Ariane, in a black Guess dress. I love the fit of this dress. Perfect party dress, or special occassion.
I went pretty cas', I need to update my wardrobe with dresses! Im pretty sure my outfit cost me a total of $50. Yeah, the shirt and shoes were a free deal. Gotta love having sisters.


Nema S: the floral print is so fitting for the season even though it's raining, & you can never go wrong with adding a belt (or having a belt like accessory)-- I love this outfit even more because of the sweetheart top! Bonnie P: Piece by Forever XXI, why is that everyone I know can snag something super cute and fitting, but everytime I go I leave with...earings, I have yet to find something this cute&fun!

Girls of the night with the high-waisted skirts Kayla M: The off-the-shoulder top and chain mini purse is such a cute and classy combo, off-the-shoulder. never goes out of style. Love the detailing of the buttons and the hidden pockets, it may just look like pleating ... but no, you can hide a camera in there ;) Tiffany N: With the high-waisted skirt, for those sexy legs mama! The printed halter is fun and unique, not sure where she got it - but she rocks it.


Told ya these girls have style

introducing, BOB'S BAND: THE BADGERS



After high anticipations for this band (The Badgers) to play, and after listening to them at the store, I am finally going to see my old assistant manager -- as front man -- on May 8.

Agenda: get off work with some mates, and head to good times. Yes, I am excited.

Ice Water Fashion Show

I haven't updated in a while, and I was going to hold off until tomorrow, because I really need some shut-eye, but I have this urge to share what fun I've been having in the last two days.

Malene Grotrian's Ice Water Fashion Show:
Courtesy of www.afootmagazine.com, I was able to attend Malene Grotrian's Ice Water Fashion Show, (check out the website in the next week or so to see my full article), all I can say is WOW. Beautiful, bold and breathtaking designs came strutting down that catwalk.
I met some new faces and was introduced to new names, what a spectacle! Here are a few snap shots!


Corinnee Kessel from Greenscape Silk Designs and the band Los Furios


Chocolate concoction, human dessert platter, now that's dining in fashion


Robin, friend of Malene's with pieces from Malene's past collections. Love the feathered bustier!


Favorite. Mermaid dress gone couture. Love, love, love.


My wearings for the night: Sakura layered dress in champagne and blazer from H&M. (Don't mind my broken-looking leg)

Sincerely,
Kyla

Polyvore addicted: Glamorous

polyvore.com lets you be your own editor, uh, yes please. This is my first compilation, tell me what you think! I have decided since I'm a music junkie, that this is a perfect way for me to combine tunes, clothes, and writing all in one. Clever, ain't it?



Lily Allen's music video 22 was my inspiration for this. Feminine, fun and sparkly! A true girly girl is glamorous.

Hannah's 20.

Hannah, my best friend, turned 20 yesterday. So what better way to celebrate than adorning her with a cute little trinket by Marc Jacobs and mixing her all time favorite past times into one space. We present to you: Raw Canvas.


Eat, drink and make art. This space was beautiful, fun, and welcoming. The people were amazing, and it's not just because my j-school mate Lauren was working, but Scotty too -- to him, I will be known as the girl who stepped on his painting, literally. It was not by cause, but simply because I apparently can't see where I walk. The pictures of our finished products will have to come later. I fail at bringing my camera with me, and Hannah's memory card only had room for a couple of shots, so our BB's had to suffice.

Ben Harper and Xavier Rudd were among the artists that played during our paint session. Love, love, love.

Tip for the day: keep makeup fresh!

It's been a while

Two months later.

First year of J-SCHOOL is OVER. What better way to celebrate than with the ones you spent it with, right? A can of Rockstar Vodka and a shot of tequila later and I'm ready to roll, into sleep, or a deep conversation, about ... about things that my memory will most likely not retain. Oh the wonders of being less than 105 lbs, $3.95 spent at the BCL will go a long way.

It's been a good two months of full on education - now it's time to put that to the test.

Hello, real world.

I'm thinking of starting a new blog, under a new name, strictly about fashion, music, life and beauty. Or stay with this name and continue on with the love, a more devoted love. Which means updates daily, or at least weekly, with pictures. Whaddya think?

I got a new haircut - good bye bangs, adios!

Tonight = smashing good times. Mexican inspired party with taquitos, enchiladas, burritos, salsa, chips and some dancing, actually a lot of dancing.

I've got my eyes on: non-blue jeans, coloured pants!
