label whore




"if you depend on labels to make you look good, you have no style"


As much as i love buying expensive things, they dont define me. Besides combining more than one print is tacky to me it just says " hey look at me i can afford all of this and i decided to wear it all at once". Although i must admit when i was younger i fell victim to being a label whore and looking at old pictures i had to look away in disgust.
One time i saw this girl who decided to wear her louis graffiti monogram speedy, loubs and a christian audiger shirt with shorts *finger in throat making gagging noises*. Yes your things are nice (minus the CA shirt) but must you wear them all together?

okay im not saying if you're wearing a chanel bag all your accessories should be chanel. Just dont wear your louis vuitton monogram bag with your burberry scarf and a gucci belt thats all. But if you do keep at most one item that stands out and the others subtle or you'll just hurt my eyes =)

btw this picture was done by photographer Massimo Gammacurta dont they look yummy?

my carrie necklace



thanks to my lovely boyfriend (and my sneaky brother for telling him) i finally got my name in white gold =) Ive never been much of a gold/diamond/silver or whatever precious stone kind of person, id rather stick to costume jewelery and save the money for other stuff. But this i love and was definitely surprised, he told me that he has something that wont be in time for my birthday, but it was definitely worth the wait.

i can see again!



If you remember i told you that i broke my glasses a few weeks ago therefore i was sporting the harry potter look for a couple of days. As much as i love harry potter i dont think i want to look like him. So i finally got these to replace my other chanel glasses. I love the case it came with, add a chain it'll probably look like a really cute wristlet huh?

Done and done





birthday was a total success other than the fact that i had to leave at 1 am because i was no longer coherent or standing for that matter. Thank goodness my brothers and my bf were there to help escort me out, leaving is one of the things i don't remember that night. Im actually pretty good at holding down my liquor for my birthday celebrations after what happened on my 19th ( dont ask just know that at the end of the night my lovely friends decided to draw obscene images on my face with eyeliner) but i guess all good things come to an end because i woke up the next day with a huge hangover and completely embarrassed.

birthdays: love em or hate em

(jan 14, 2009)


what can i say i have a love/hate relationship with birthdays. Sure who doesn't love celebrating the day you were born but if the day is less than perfect doesn't it seem like the day is ruined? or is that just little ol bratty me?


Well whatever it is its stressing me out to the point where i just want to get it over with. Anyways aside from my total emo rant I'm in the midst of finding the perfect outfit for the day. At least if the day goes to shit ill at least look good.

hello new decade

(photo in backround and above : H&Msweater, TNAjacket, NUDIESjeans, BRAVOBROWNSboots)

How was everyones new year? while i spent nye with my family (which i haven't done in 7 years btw.) I spent the first few days in banff with my bf and then joined by a few friends. Summary of that weekend? lets see... :

  • ate at Giorgio's, where we luckily sat upstairs in a private booth by a window, if any of you decide to stop by suggest to be seated upstairs, it has a cozyimathome kinda feel to it
  • walked around banff ave where we purchased weird candy like , beef flavored mints and bear droppings.
  • ate at grizzlys, i absolutely love their food, if you like fondue go! but the portions are small we ended up eating at our hotel after where they had the most amazing appetizer, truffle fries! shoestring fries drizzled with white truffle oil, parmigiano-reggiano cheese and duck fat gravy. I'm kinda drooling thinking about it (btw with dr loosen wine that all cost 20 with tip so if you're craving for a snack go to Banff Park Lodge)
  • Amy taught me a few things about using my SLR ... I'm still a little confused but ill get the hang of it .. one day
  • i finally took my first ever designer bag out of deadstock , my bf was happy i put his first christmas gift to me to use
  • and i broke my glasses which i had to resort to good ol tape, i look ridiculously stupid right now but i booked an appt asap so it wont be long ( if you're wondering why i don't have backup glasses or contacts, ONE i haven't got my eyes checked in 3 years due to laziness and TWO contacts and i don't agree with each other)

so i hope all of you have an amazing 2011 and actually complete all of your new years resolutions =)

love kat
