Since We Last Chatted in June...

I went to Toronto for a fortnight (heh heh , always wanted to use that word in a sentence)  to celebrate my mothers milestone birthday.  It was so fantastic, especially since my then boyfriend (yes I said boyfriend) flew out to join the festivities for a week.  (more on this in a later post)  Bet you dyyyying to know the deats about that huh?  Well, you'll just have to check back wont cha ;)
On the fashionable sidewalks of sunny TO, I fashion stalked this lovely lady.  Oh, of course, I don't remember a lousy detail about this fab fashionista, but, thought I'd give her a showcase regardless.

Don't you just love this!  I adore the color of this dress

with her gorgeous chocolate skin tone and it fits 

her like a dream!  Bag is cool and those shoes rock!

Effortless!

Since I can't remember her name, I'll call her Jackie.  Actually, now that I think about it, I just might be right.  Jackie...or something like that.  

I think the dress is from Zara.  Ugh!  I'm so bad!

I promise I will write down the info and put it in a safe place so I 

can report back to you the next time I do a stalk!  I mean, the next time I actually take out my camera.  Cause, um, I actually have several to show you, in which I, uh, can't find, well, you know...

You look great Jackie!  Or was it Janet?  Hmmm...

And looove your shoes Jennifer, er, Janet?

Whatev, YOU ROCK!

Now, go get you some:)

Since We Last Chatted...

I'm baaaaack!!!

Wow!  Has it been since June??!!  I can't believe its been so long since we've chatted! Its been a FANTASTIC summer!  Since June my life has totally changed! Thank God!

Spent a lot of time making love to the sun.

And I got a great heat rash to prove it! :)

It didn't just happen, I decided to re-carve and create a new one.    So much was so sucky, and I was fed up with so many areas that I really thought I needed to take some time off and really focus on making major changes.  Thank God it was Summer because the sun made all the difference and just turned out to be the best time to do it.  All that sun is energizing and inspiring.  I tell you (and I've told you a zillion times) I LOVE THE SUN!  Why the heck do I live in Vancouver?  LOL!  I know you've been wondering where I've been and what I did to re-carve. Honestly, thats a long post, but I can tell you that I went hard core, looking at 3 main areas that I was mostly unhappy about and needed to change immediately.  I believe that our life is OURS - no one elses, and if we want it to be great, - our definition of great - we have to roll up our sleeves and make it great OURSELVES.  No one else can do it for us. The areas I concentrated on were Money, Intimacy, and Fun/Joy.  Did not have a lot of any of these areas in my life and that, my friend, was unacceptable.  So I developed a daily program, which I called "The Genesis Project".  I used goal setting ideas and concepts, some from experts and some tools I've learned or created myself.  My program had me completing tasks and reaching daily and weekly goals with the intention of going from 0% to more than 100% (in some areas) in 6 weeks.  And it worked!  Actually, I went to about 150% in some areas in the first week!!  Now I'm happier, more grounded, and excited about getting up everyday and have new hope for my future.  Soooo stinking much has happened this summer, friends, sun, new expeirences, I just can't share them in one post. So to catch you up with Suzanne living in the fabulous city, I've decided to do some posts that will let you in to what your girl has been up too.  Man, I missed you guys!

My favorite Summer picture.  So freaking happy:)))))

Now go get you some!!

The coolest 80's New Wave revisited couple EVER!

My friend and I were sitting in my new favorite Non-Greasy Non-Dive Diner (more of this place to come) and I looked over and saw these two connected lovebirds vibeing over breaky and mac & cheese.  They looked so perfect together my friend Wendy nudged me to do a fashion stalk.  Glad I did.  How cool are these two?  So Grundge meets, aRtsY, meets Blondie.
