New Look: Sweet Faerie Designs

Readers of this blog will notice the new look, all courtesy of Carrie at Sweet Faerie Designs.  Carrie is amazing -- professional, quick and totally creative.  I can't thank her enough for giving my little blog such a gorgeous makeover.  You can also check out her blog here.

Of course, this new look would not have been possible without the wonderful Helena of A Diary of Lovely and the giveaway I was lucky enough to win on her blog.  Helena was one of my first friends in the blog world and I can't say enough great things about her.  Not only is Helena kind, but she also has one of the best blogs around. For anyone who hasn't read it yet I would suggest you run--don't walk--to check out A Diary of Lovely.

So, the Olympics are over.  Congrats to the U.S. for the most medals over all, and a big thank you to the Canadian athletes for all their passion and talent--and for bringing home the most gold medals of any country. Of course, the gold medal game between the Canadian and U.S. hockey teams was a big part of my day.  Parise's goal with only seconds left--holy heart attack, Batman. I'm so glad the men pulled it together for the win.

The true North strong and free...

"To the athletes of theses games, we say you have made us proud. These were excellent and very friendly games." - Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee

As for the closing ceremonies, there were some funny parts, but I didn't catch the whole thing, mostly because a girl can only take so many giant beavers and flying moose.  I did spot Alanis, though, and I was pretty blown away.  She looked great!  Kind of like Elisabetta Canalis.  (Okay, this isn't the best picture, but on TV she looked good. Beautiful jewellery, too.)
 

 

And did you catch the teaser for the 2014 games in Sochi?  Natalia looked beautiful.

Back It Up

Its always great when the back of an outfit holds a little surprise - whether it be a dramatic scoop, buttons, or colourful heels.

Olympic Colours

How have you been enjoying the Games so far? I much prefer the winter Olympics to the summer, although I haven't been watching as much of the Olympics as I would like. There have been several wonderful moments that I have caught, two of which happened last night--Joannie Rochette winning bronze and the Canadian woman's hockey team winning gold.  Go ladies!  (And I think that the "scandal" over the hockey team's celebration is just ridiculous.)

If anyone can make the traditional HBC coat

She looks so adorable I almost want one of my own!

Body of Missing Actor Found!

This afternoon Vancouver police reveal that a body has been discovered and they believed it may be the body of missing "Growing Pains" actor Andrew Koenig. CNN.com is now confirming that the body is indeed that of Koenig. Koenig has been missing since Valentine's Day and sources reveal the body was discovered in Vancouver's Stanley Park, which so happens to be an area that Vancouver police were heavily searching in the days since Koenig's disappearance.

Koenig's family and friends decided to do their own search of the area and that is when the body was found. Koenig's father "Star Trek" actor Walter Koenig revealed in a press conference that his son "took his own life".

Koenig's disappearance was first reported after the actor missed a return flight to Los Angeles, after visiting with friends in Canada. He was said to have been in a depressed state leading up to his disappearance and stopped taking anti-depressant medications a little over a year ago.

And congrats to Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie. I guess the trend of starlet's getting engaged to Canadian hockey players is continuing. Can Elisha Cuthbert be far behind? I think Mike and Hilary make a cute couple and get a load of the $1 million rock Mike sprang for. Dang.

Mary-Kate Olsen Splits with Boyfriend

Actress Mary-Kate Olsen is no longer dating her boyfriend Nate Lowman. The pair began dating in 2008 after meeting through mutual friends. A rep for Olsen confirmed that the couple has broken up. They reportedly split right before Valentines Day even though they were seen walking together in New York City on Feb. 4.

However Olsen does not seem to be too devastated by the break-up because she was spotted kissing actor Josh Hartnett last week at Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures post BAFTA party in London.

"They were making out in a dark corridor of the party," a source told People. "Everyone danced all night." Olsen's rep denied that the two were kissing.

Whether or not she kissed Hartnett, she is not sitting around crying about the split because she was seen with sister Ashley attending shows at London Fashion Week.

Happy Anniversary Ajay-Kajol

Beautiful Home: 02.24.10

Gorgeous home of Mayer and Beau Buisson designed by Barbara Howard in Buckhead and featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.

For the living room the designer aimed to create

a space perfect for entertaining, but also comfortable

enough for a quiet night at home for the couple.

I love the fireplace and the natural palette, which

makes the roomcalm but also elegant and sophisticated.

I think this eating area off the kitchen is great. The

look of the varied seating really lends added interest.

I adore the zig zag settee in the dining room,

I'm pretty much a sucker for unique and mixed

seating. I also think its pretty great that the fabric

chosen is not only chic, but functional.

“They’re a young couple and have lots of nieces and nephews, so they were a little worried about the fabric holding up,” says the designer. “It’s just a cotton, but it actually has a thin vinyl coating. You can’t see it or feel it, so it still appears very elegant but is also durable.”
