Mother's Day on Sunny Sunday

With Mothers Day only a couple days away we thought we would give you some great gift ideas if you're still looking for the perfect present. 

If you haven't purchased a 'Love Shop' scarf for yourself yet then you may need to pick two up so you and your mom can have matching ones! Find a huge selection at Boudoir Boutique in Yaletown (right across from Society on Hamilton & Davie)



I went to Bombay Brow Bar last week (which was very long overdue) and fell in love with threading.  The atmosphere, chai tea, and wonderful ladies working there make the experience every minute worth your while.  Bombay Brow Bar is located on Mainland St. between Nelson & Helmcken.



Another favourite of OS' are the I Love My Muff products.  The products are all natural for the best care down there & come in the cutest packaging.  You can find the products at either Lynn Steven in Gas town or Beauty Mark in Yaletown. 



I will be missing my mom this Mother's Day as she is away in Spain (tough life) but will be thinking about her all day.  Her much loved perfume as is mine is Miss Dior Cherie.  It's sweet, floral, fruity scent always lifts my spirits & puts a smile on my face.  It's the perfect perfume and sure to be a new must have.


The last must have for this Mother's Day is Butter London nail polish.  It's Formaldehyde, Toluene, & DPB free and just so happens it comes in all the hottest colours too!  Butter London also has an amazing line of hand & foot care products - my top picks being their 'Stiletto Stick' & 'Silk Stockings' finishing gel.  You can find a wide range of all the products at again Beauty Mark in Yaletown.  If you're in the Gastown area Ishara also carries the products. 



And of course with the weather forecast saying 'high of 18' on Sunday where else would you rather be than Vancouver's favourite patio...Glowbal Grill & Satay Bar.  Finish or start your day off right by treating mom to a mimosa & brunch or a glass of wine & dinner. 



OS wishes everyone a beautiful day.  Take time away from your busy schedule to sit down and enjoy your mom's company.  Sometimes life gets so busy & there never seems to be enough hours in the day that we forget to enjoy life's simplest things or tell the people closest to us how much we love them. 

With Love,

{Be Inspired}

I've been spending more time than usual in my apartment lately especially since the weather has been ugly.  I was looking around the internet trying to find different things that inspire me for a new blog post.  As I was having a harder time than usual I found myself looking at my apartment.  Realizing I had to look no further than my own home.  Sometimes I find that what you're always searching the hardest for in life whether it be love, a job, inspiration, friends, success...you will find has been right in front of you the whole time.

These are the things in my apartment that inspire me...

{Pictures of my family and loved ones}
{Baroque pillows I picked out with my mom}
{Crystals my aunt gave me}
{The chandelier my dad hung above my bed}
{My coveted magazine & book stacks}
{The fur blanket I absolutely love wrapping myself in}
{Christian Lacroix Evian bottle sitting on my sink}
{Peonies that always brighten my day}
{The small cactus I drove here with 3 years ago my sister gave me}
{Racks & racks of jewellery}
{The geraniums sitting outside my window}
{A collage of pictures & starfish in my bathroom}
{White wrought iron bistro table I love eating my yogurt & granola at in the morning}
{Post card of a girl at the 1968 Venice Beach Rock Festival - newly posted on my image board}

Long Hair Don't Care Starlet - Sky Ferreira

Just this morning one of our favourite Waffles Girls Sky Ferreira released her video '17'.  In the video she reveals a rebellious and racy secret life of an American teenager - It's no Miley Cyrus video that's for sure.  Sky is an up and coming Hollywood starlet that is starting to make her claim to fame.  Her fearless fashion and persona go hand in hand with her sassy image and long sultry locks (which P.S. looks completely 'au natural').  On her new album you can expect to see work from a string of noteworthy producers including The Teddybears, Linda Perry, Greg Kurstin, and Swedish super producers Bloodshy and Avant.  There seems to be nothing but blue skies ahead for Sky Ferreira   Below is a screen shot from the video and a couple more photos The Cobra Snake  recently shot of her on a trip to New York.
