With our vodka, pool umbrellas, and slouchy pants it's pretty obvious that we are ready to get this summer party started, baby! Except it's not summer yet, at least not west of Vancouver Island. Anyway. We'll stop whining about the weather even though it's a national sport in Canada and we take our sports seriously. We also take our crushes seriously; I'm still pining for the light blue Swatch watch someone lifted from my locker in grade 12. What are you crushing on? Candace …
Crush and Covet: Beans, Eye Brighteners & Hoodies
Spring has sprung. We survived! Maybe not on the east coast of Canada or the US, but hang in there, friends, you'll be BBQing by August.

Crush and Covet – Apples, Lobsters, Lip Balm and More
Have you ever loved something so hard you'd do anything to get your hands on it? Within the bounds of the law, of course. We're all civilized. Although there was that time…and anyone would have done the same…and really, your best friend was none the wiser that it was you who borrowed her signed Rob Lowe poster.
