Keepin' Quiet

I never know what to share or not share on this blog because I know that no one likes a debbie downer but sometimes I have not happy things like body image or budgets on my mind and I can't think of a light and fluffy way to talk about them. So I'm going to follow the old saying 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all' and I'm going to wrap myself up in my grandpa sweater and keep quiet. 

But seriously... body issues and budgets suck.

Another shopping party meant another opportunity to snack on some treats, get my hair braided by Blo's Braid bar, and chat with some of Vancouver's very fashionable ladies. Each member of the Style Spy styled an outfit using the gorgeous pieces available at the Gap right now and someone was lucky enough to win one of the outfits! I have always been a fan of the Gap so browsing through the holiday collections was right up my alley. I am now in desperate need of colored denim.

PS, Yes I have noticed that I am wearing a lot of blue lately... While I'd like to say it's on purpose and that I know something about the color blue that you don't, it is really just a coincidence.

PPS, Do you like the idea of seeing my embarrassing photo outtakes? Hop over and "like" Miss Melissa on facebook and you can see a few of my latest outtake gems.

On the weekend I attended the Le Chateau and Flare Magazine Shopping event.

I used to shop at Le Chateau all the time but for some reason haven't shopped there in a few years. I was pleasantly surprised by their selection of outerwear, shoes and accessories. Their scarves came in gorgeous colors (I picked up an orange one for myself).

I have a few more shopping events to share but seriously, after all of these amazing events I will never be able to shop regularly again. I will walk into a store and demand champagne, a hair touch up by Suki's and to get my nails done.

I will also ask to have models walk around the store with Luisa Rino from Flare talking about all of the latest fall trends that store has to offer. I've officially been spoiled.
