Super FUN Times: Shopping The Store with @_CostaBlanca
I got a lovely invite to “Shop The Store” from Costa Blanca recently, and finally got to go in on my day off. I haven’t been to, never mind shopped at Costa Blanca in ages, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how bright, and colourful their clothes are now, plus there’s so much selection. The Costa Blanca I remember had lots of neutral colours, pastels and a lot of the same stuff year after year. But things done changed! I saw lots of neons, floral prints, tribal prints, cute flowy skirts, colorful maxi dresses, gorgeous onesies, oh it was fantastic! Totally up my alley. Things have definitely changed for the better.
decisions decisions…
l-o-v-e!
I was in loooooove with this maxi!
These bangles were giving me LIFE!!
lol the face…
After scanning the aisles (yes all of them), I finally picked a few items and went to try on different looks. After what seemed like an eternity of trying on clothes (totally not complaining, I loved it!) I finally settled on a turquoise maxi dress, a cute neon yellow sweater, and two sets of awesome bangles. The best part about it? I got to take my look home!
Thank you to Costa Blanca for having me, and for the lovely gifts! If you haven’t been to Costa Blanca in a while, I suggest you go because it has some… no A LOT of awesome and amazing stuff!
peace and love

A night in the Icing Sugar Towers! @LeDolci
I was invited to join a Chocolate Truffle making class over at the Le Dolci studio (The Icing Sugar Towers) recently, and it was a wonderful and sweet experience. Let me start off by saying just how lovely it is in there. It’s so pretty; there’s cute cakes and cupcakes everywhere, pretty balloons, everything is pink and white… just lovely. I didn’t want to leave; it was like wonderland, but with cakes, sweets, chocolates, and cupcakes galore. Heavenly.
Cherry giving us the 411 on all things chocolate 🙂
The class started off with Cherry giving us the goods on all things chocolate, then it was time to get down to business. Although I have loads of experience eating chocolate, I haven’t worked with chocolate since Chef school which was years ago, so I was totally excited to go back to my “roots” and get my hands dirty… and eat some chocolate!
It’s so lovely in there! A fun foodie studio indeed 🙂
before things got deliciously messy 🙂
Coconut and Chocolate. A match made in heaven.
obviously very proud of myself at this point lol
Can’t touch my piping skills! lol
mmmmm…
Are you drooling yet? yes. yes. It’s okay.
Seriously though. How awesome are these cupcakes?!
I totally need to take a cupcake decorating class!
Focused!
Got a little bonus lesson on drawing using chocolate 🙂
Then it was home time for me and my 20 truffles!!
Le Dolci offers sooooo many other classes, so if your into sweet treats, but chocolate isn’t your thing (how is that possible??), there are lots of other classes you take. There are cupcake, cookie, and cake decorating classes, Parisian Macarons making classes, pie making classes and more! The classes are also taught in small groups so you get that one-on-one attention 🙂 You should go.
Thank you so much to Lisa for inviting me, and to Cherry for an awesome class!
stay sweet 🙂

Event LOVE: Blogger Day with @VWCanada
Still one of my favourite cars of all time!
We were invited to the first-ever Volkswagen Canada Blogger Day at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre a couple weeks ago. This was Volkswagen’s way of treating bloggers to let us know just how much they appreciate all our hard work, and it was also an opportunity for them to give us an inside look at the 2013 model line-up. The event started with a yummy breakfast and then we were given the goods on what Volkwagen has in store for the future.
I need you in my life… yesterday!I don’t know much about cars, but I do know that I love and have ALWAYS loved the Beetle. The highlight of the event? Getting to see and feel the new Beetle Fender. It. Is. EVERYTHING, and needs to be mine now. It’s the first car in Europe that can be ordered with a sound system from the guitar and amp makers Fender! Don’t get me started on the dash. The dash comes complete with the chrome-plated Fender logo AND it’s finished in the two-tone ‘Sunburst’ wood design of many of the Fender guitars. It’s awesome-sauce!
Looooooooove!
Miss Lolitta and friends 🙂
les bloggers 🙂
This car is beyond cool!
noms
gotta keep it healthy after all the pastries…
Quite possibly one of the sexiest cars i’ve ever seen…ugh I love it!
Mr. Peter Blackwell giving us the goods on what’s in store for Volkswagen in 2013 and beyond 🙂
me 🙂
Another favorite 🙂 Hybrids are looking mighty FINE lately
One tends to get a little thirsty after drooling over beautiful cars…
Be still my heart… I love love love this car!
Style and functionality. Win.
This baby made me go “ooooh-weeeeee”. So sexy and sporty.
We also got a free ticket to the Canadian International Auto Show (which I hear was great, but couldn’t go to cause I was working… *sigh*), AND we also have a chance to test-drive a Volkswagen for the weekend… now to find someone with a license so they can drive me around lol. Any takers?
I wish I could’ve stayed longer, but unfortunately I had to go to work, it was fun times regardless.
Thank you for inviting us 🙂
peace and love
Bella
ps: If you’re looking into getting a new car, I’d definitely suggest taking any of the Volkswagen cars for a test-drive(s), cause from what I hear and have seen, they are all kinds of awesome!

Event LOVE: @NellaBellaBrand 2013 Fall/Winter Expo Preview
On Thursday night we hit up the Nella Bella 2013 Fall/Winter Expo Collection Preview, and it was lovely. Tarek never disappoints, and I always leave needing at least 4…okay 5 bags from the collection. I kid you not, I wanted every single bag from the Nella Bella London collection. As usual the quality was great, nice clean finishes, pretty colours, totally functional and fashionable, did I mention that the quality is amazing?
We also got to see the new NB Knits Collection- Dylanium Knits (by Dylan Uscher), which felt like heaven. Need them. Please and Thank you.
Can I just have them all? Please.
It was great to see everybody out supporting Nella Bella, I had an awesome time snacking on the appetizers, sipping on the never-ending Appleton cocktails and catching up with people I haven’t seen in forever. It was a great night 🙂 Now for some pictures!
Whatever your style there was something for everyone!
Always a pleasure catching up with Sonya 🙂

Event LOVE: #FordBlueTO
Ford Canada, had their annual Blue party a few weeks ago, and even though it was SNOWMAGEDDON outside there was no way were going to miss it. And after last year’s fun times (and great food), we were definitely going to be there. It was a nightmare getting around downtown with all the snow, slush, and angry people, but once you walked into the blue lit hall, all the troubles were soon forgotten. There were shiny brand new cars everywhere, lots of people, and the sweet alluring aroma of good food.
t’was heavenly!I’ll admit that I pretty much parked myself by the food station for the first part of the evening, and got my eat on. After that it was time to socialize, get familiar with the cars, and have a good ole time. We played games, saw a few awesome dance performances, got our hair and nails done, saw the unveiling of the new 2013 Ford Fiesta, and just had an all round awesome time!
Pretty in blue
loved this car!
always a pleasure 🙂
you know I had to get involved with all the props!
the best fish tacos of life!
the sweet bar 🙂
Green is the new blue! The new hybrid

Green is the new blue, so… that’s why I wasn’t wearing blue? My shoes and earrings were blue though 🙂
