Fun Thing to do in Kingston

Here’s a new one for the list – the Wolf Island Corn Maze! I hadn’t heard of this before, but some members of the Herch Social Club are organizing a trek out there on Sunday and it sounds very cute. The maze actually runs from July till late October, but it seems like a “fall” thing to do, non? If you want to spook it up, you can try a nighttime trip with flashlights (and zombies??!)

Used Book Sale in Kingston

I’m a little slow on the uptake on this one (it’s already half over!) but the Kingston Symphony is having their annual Used Book Sale this weekend. It’s happening at the J.K. Tett Centre, 370 King Street West. Admission is free and it runs today from 10-5 & tomorrow from 10-4. Oh, and all books are half price tomorrow!

Colouring Pages from Photos

Here’s a fun tool I stumbled across – use Photoshop to make a colouring page from a photo in three easy steps!

Sure, you can have a little childhood throwback and make your own colouring book, but how about making some cheap yet chic wall art from a photo you’ve taken? Ooohhh, very mod!

Very Nice – Vero Moda

There’s no better way to forget the fact that it’s getting colder outside and that the leaves are changing colours…than to go shopping! One of our favorite sports, Blueprint (246 Princess Street) has got tons of new stuff on the shelves and it’s definitely worth a look. As usual, they carry a huge selection of one of my favorite brands:

Vero Moda – which I think is totally affordable, fashionable and unique.

Happy Shopping!

Sugar rush

I’m always looking for different ways to save money; recently we cut our cable (it has been three months and to be honest, I haven’t really missed it, except for the odd re-run of Sarah’s House) and now I’m trying to cut back on the number of magazines I buy each month. The first ones to go: Celebrity Rags…we all love them – but I find that there’s so much juicy star gossip online these days that I can’t really justify picking one up every time I hit the drug store. My new one-stop-spot is the collection of “sugar” blogs that talk Celebrity, fashion, beauty, home, music, entertainment and more. My personal favorite is the Celebrity blog popsugar.com, and you can get to all the others once you get there.

Have fun, and feel a little less guilty

PS on the shoes

Here are the sassy shoes I picked up at Catwalk:

I’m certain they will absolutely murder my feet at the wedding I plan on wearing them to but I don’t care. They look THAT hot.
