so... call me maybe?

Carly Rae Jepsen's song "Call Me Maybe" has been toted as the summer hit of 2012 and while I've only heard this song a few times on the radio, I didn't realize how quickly the insanely catchy tune had taken over YouTube. A lot of funny lip syncs have been uploaded, done by sports teams, schools, celebrities and my personal favourite, the boys of Abercrombie & Fitch :)


It needs more cowbell. (Sidenote: when did the Roots become Jimmy's house band???)


This is just too funny.


The inflatable monkey just wants love.


0:41 - gets me every time.

1:30 - sooo... how are you going to play baseball with that on your arm?

GAK!

An ear worm for everyone! Glad I could share ;)

how to assemble an IKEA sofa

Step 1: Wait 3 hours for the delivery guys to drop off the packages.

Step 2: Start to put sofa frame together.

Step 3: Swear profusely while wrestling with the sofa frame in an attempt to put the sofa cover on.

Step 4: Attach the arm rests and legs to the sofa frame.

Step 5: Tuck cushions into cushion covers (thank goodness for zippers) and done!

This sofa took THREE hours to assemble. Next time, I might pay someone else to do it. Also, once they've assembled the sofa, they'll take away the packaging. Since, as you can see in the photo below, I couldn't get out of the apartment.

colour me bad

So... after posting the previous colourful bag entry... I might have gone a little crazy with the on-line shopping.

Balenciaga city bag in Glycine from Barney's and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Natasha Petal to the Metal shoulder bag in pink from Net-A-Porter. 

spring shopping for a bag lady

With the weather slowly warming up here in Vancity, it's time to peruse on-line shopping sites for some new additions to my bag collection. So far, colourful purses, especially in shades of aqua, turquoise and sea-foam green have really caught my eye. So much better than your basic black option, it's a great accessory to invest in and still be on trend with the season's colours. Pinks, canary yellows and juicy orange hues are great spring colours while bright greens, papaya, coral and turquoise are great summery colours are a wonderful addition to any outfit. Also, who doesn't like a little bit of obnoxious neon in their accessories?

From Net-a-porter.com:

MJ by Marc Jacobs Natasha Petal to the Metal shoulder bag is in a great punchy pink colour.  

Burberry Prorsum raffia-effect and leather wristlet in turquoise. Love the detailing on this clutch.

Proenza Schouler PS1 large leather satchel in papaya. This is a fabulous spring colour but could also work all year round when you want some colour to brighten up a drab all-black outfit. 

Reed Krakoff mini Atlantique leather tote. This designer has just recently caught my eye, and I like what I'm seeing so far. 

From shop bop.com:

Alexander Wang Donna bag in acqua is a great casual bag. 

The Cambridge Fluoro Satchel in green. LOVE it!

Rebecca Minkoff mini Mac bag in highlighter yellow. Something this small can still pack a punch in such a bright, in-your-face colour. 

not too long...

Before I'm back in blogging mode. I just recently moved out (yay me!) and have yet to get internet in my new place. But, once my shiny new MacBook arrives (just ordered it two days ago) and I find the nearest cafe, coffee shop, or fast food restaurant with free wifi, this blog will be updated on a regular basis... hopefully. For now, thanks for being so patient with me!
