One of my favorite looks to do for the summer is a bronzed sun kissed eye. The best thing about this look is that you don’t have to have a tan to pull it off. It’s also a good day look that can be elevated to night by simply lining the lower water line with a swipe of black eye liner. For this look I stuck to cream based shadows, as they give off a more metallic finish and overall dewy look. So go ahead ladies, bat your lashes and let your eyes do the talking.

One of the most unique things about Calgary that I’ve grown to love is how easy it is to drive in any direction and feel like you’ve entered a new city altogether. Such was the case the other night when going to visit friends, and it deemed the perfect opportunity to snap a couple of pictures. While an evening spent in the country is always delightful, I have to say that my pumps longed for the paved roads and sidewalks of the city.
I think most of you will agree with me when I say that there is nothing better in the summer than an icy cold cocktail shared with good friends. I make a mean sangria, but decided it was time to expand my bartending skills when I came across this recipe. I was thrilled with the results, and with the addition of fresh raspberries, it seems almost healthy to me… almost.
I decided after lunch on Sunday that I was really craving the company of my family, and the only way to remedy the feeling was to invite them over for dinner that night. I feel that I’ve really streamlined my impromptu hostess skills, and no longer does it stress me out to have guests pop over last minute. I have a formula of making sure there is a good food, relaxing music and delicious wine for guests to feast on while dinner is cooking. I also never think twice about dressing the table up…how else are you going to use those fancy charger plates.
Whether it’s a night out with the girls, date night with my man or Sunday brunch with the fam, nothing brightens my mood more than sporting sparkly sequins. I found this little number at local Calgary boutique, and it has made several appearances this summer. Dressed down with a blazer or dressed up with shimmery jewelry, one thing is for sure, the sequins say it all.
