Zara shoes

These shoes are gorgeous...and everywhere! I know Zara is on sale, so I'm trying my best NOT to walk by a Zara store. I'm really trying not to go shopping right now, but all of you aren't helping me! I mean, look at these beauties:

Tag

I'm honoured to have been tagged by a wonderful girl, B, from Playground Love.

The rules: “List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.”

1- James Blunt - Same Mistake This song was in the soundtrack of a novela (Brazilian soap opera) I was watching recently, and now it's one of my favourites
2- Alicia Keys - No one Alicia Keys has such an amazing voice, and this song just makes me sing...I especially love singing it while driving LOL
3- Daft Punk - Around the World This song will always reminds me of one of my best summers, and I still love hearing it
4- B - Morning A beautiful love song to listen to while lying in bed in the morning and the sun rays coming through the window
5- Enur feat. Natasha - Calabria I looooove this beat. Sad that she passed away last year (I believe)
6- Eu sei que vou te amar / Tu sais je vais t'aimer A beautiful Brazilian love song (with a French complement)
7- Belo - Tua Boca Another beautiful Brazilian love song featured in one of the best Brazilian novelas I've seen.

Now I tag YOU! (if you haven't yet been tagged)

One minute it's here...the next minute it's gone!

I hope I learned my lesson! I was sooooo excited 2 days ago when I did my daily check of the Canadian Forever21 website, and found a beautiful straw fedora for under $13! Here it is:

It was perfect...now I just needed to buy another $60 worth of stuff to get free shipping (makes sense, no? LOL).
Sure enough, yesterday when I got home, I went to buy the hat (and the other stuff)...and IT WAS GONE! :(
Next time...maybe.

Out and about...

Hello everyone!
So I haven't had much time to blog in the past couple days. My mother-in-law is visiting from Europe and staying with us for a couple of weeks, so we're out doing stuff all the time (which is great!).
Yesterday we went down by the lake for a stroll, and today we went strawberry picking. I'm exhausted but enjoying myself...we're hoping to get lots of different activities going in the next week or so.
Here are a couple of random shots taken yesterday and today of my daughter and I:

I want that hat!

Not everyone looks good in a hat...I've always heard that, and thought it to be true. So can anyone tell me how come all the examples I found look stunning? I really want a straw fedora hat - I know it's very trendy, and I probably wouldn't get much use out of it, but sometimes it's enough for me to just own something (WOW that sounds so bad, but it's my reality...I have more than a couple of items that I've bought and have never worn, but feel great just looking at them). I'm definitely a consumer!!!

So here are some of the girls responsible for my NEED for a straw fedora hat:













And these are only a "few" of those responsible...YOU may also be to blame my friend, so don't look all innocent!!! Tell me the truth now: do you own one? Have you posted one in your blog? If so, then I think it's your responsibility to pitch in to buy me one :)

Have a great day!!!

What I'm wearing today

Hello everyone! I'm soooo excited cause I got my Canon xti yesterday evening!!! Yay!!! I've taken soooo many pictures already, that when it was time for today's outfit picture....the battery died! NOOOO!!! So I had to rely on good old Canon Powershot (2 megapixels LOL):

I like how the front picture looks like I have short hair, but from the back you can see its true length :)

Here are a couple of random pictures of my closet that I took with the new camera:
