Swarovski Pen...

The crystals are stationary, and are packed tightly.

USB

Detail:Tiny Swarovski crystals, sparkly in the light...

Velvet pouch

All photos taken without flash, will update when I get a chance in sunlight...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. On a recent work trip I had the opportunity to tour the Sparkling Hill Resort Spa. Simply breathtaking, even in the dead of winter...
For a souvenir I popped in to the store, and was mesmerized by the sparkles! So many things to choose from, but I settled on the pen. Practical and Pretty!
They had 3 designs, one wider width pen in white and black, and one thinner pen in a pink/purplish, and a grey/taupe. Lastly there was the beauty you see above in white or black with usb.

Nadja was so kind and helpful and mentioned she was the buyer for the store. Definately check it out if you have a Swarovski near you. Or maybe one day book a weekend at the hotel, I hope to do that soon!

Chandelier in the lobby.

They have 3.5 million Swarovski scattered around the hotel.

Crave Cupcakes...

4 Red Velvet Elvis and 2 Dark Angel

The Red Velvet was to die for as always, but the Chocolate I pass...

Thanks Linda!

Red velvet with cream cheese buttercream icing

Mouthwatering Moist! Plate from Homesense...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. You have not tried cupcakes until you have tried CRAVE Cupcakes!!! I've tried many in my years from New York and LA and have come back disappointed.
I first had the opportunity to try these when my friend brought them back years ago. OMG I've had dreams ever since! Calgarians are LUCKY!

NOTHING we have here in Vancouver compares to the divine taste of their Red Velvet cream cheese cupcakes!

Try one or 6 and you will not be disappointed. Unfortunately they do not deliver to Vancouver, trust me I've tried!

Crave Cupcakes

Say what???

On a work trip this past weekend I came across this in the elevator...

I did a double take, and laughed while I tried to catch it on my iPhone. Thank God no one else was in the elevator. *chuckles*

Readers, ever find hilarious advertisements???

Recent Finds...Aritzia

Leopard belt from Aritizia on sale $32

Real Hair and leather XS. 3/4 inch wide

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Finally found a leopard belt, still with the hair issue but I prefer this one much better than the J Crew one, and it's on sale! This reminds me of the Ann Taylor leopard belt that I wanted. Perfect as a waist belt.

Aritzia

Massive sale going on right now, and so many nice pieces for spring too!

Happy Valentine's Day! Stay tuned for more giveaways, will be giving away cosmetics and skin care in future!

Iphone Cover...

Grey Chevron Iphone 4 Case with Petal Personalization

H&M flower clip

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I love anything personalized and pink! Customize your own phone cover here. I usually purchase my covers from the Asian malls, $5 for anime or plain cases. For $5, you're obviously not getting the best quality. So for 2012, I decided to splurge and get a personalized Iphone cover! Found out about DaniNotes from IamKhatu, if you like anything personalized that's fun and colorful definately check out her Etsy.
