Friday's Five Favourites

1. Bread bowls/cheesy bread
We like bread. Carbs are delicious and filling. It's basically orgasmic if it is filled with cheese and/or something else. Soup in a bread bowl? YES. Pasta in a bread bowl? Hell yes. 

2. The end of school
The end of term is fast approaching, THANK GOD. Although this means we will be running on coffee, candy, no sleep, and bagels, it also means we are one step closer to being done till January (!!!). We cannot wait to sleep in, enjoy the holidays (k2's favourite time), and spend time with family. The amount of gifts and sweets that the holidays bring are also very welcoming.

3. Soup in front of a fireplace
This goes along with the whole holidays thing. It is cold. We are cold. We have to walk outside all day, so what's better than a nice steaming bowl of hot soup and a warm fire. NOTHING. Well I guess if we had a fireplace, that would be the best thing but, for now the heater will do. 

4.http://fuckyeahgirlythings.tumblr.com/
I stumbled upon this tumblr while looking at Fuck Yeah Cats and Food (also a good tumblr) and fell in love. All of the pictures make me feel very happy and materialistic. It's a joyous thing. It's also just very cute and adorable.

5. Snuggies
Some people hate them, some people love them. We love them. They are warm, snuggly, and great for the winter. Who wouldn't want a blanket with sleeves!?

Since it's hard to actually translate most of our favourites into pictures this week, we're going to share a little video.

Broken English

Broken English is one my favourite films. It stars Parker Posey as Nora, a somewhat neurotic, 30-something living in New York. She meets a Frenchman and the rest is history. It's romantic and smart without being tiring or too sentimental. Melvil Poupaud, who plays her love interest, is also AMAZING. His accent is to die for and it makes me want to go sit in a little French cafe, write, and sip delicious drinks. sighhhhhhh.

If you enjoy indie films and somewhat dark comedy, I think this is a definite must watch.

Friday's Five Favourites

1. Library Days-
Now that school is starting to come to an end, deadlines are fast approaching. Which means, we are going to be spending lots of time at the library. We had one yesterday and spent 9 hours (!) there. Of course a good library day involves lots of coffee and snacks. 

2. Netflix-
We finally got Netflix Instant and it is amazing. Plus it's way cheaper then renting videos. yay! One of the first things we watched was Human Centipede......kinda sick but kinda amazing.


3. Milk Frother-
We also just obtained one of these and it is the best. We actually have been spending less on coffee too! Nightly london fogs with coconut milk? Yes please.

4. Christmas stuff-
BEST time of year. And there's so many fun things to get: tree, decorations, chocolates...

5. Socks-
various lengths, colours, styles - and they keep your feet warm. they are awesome.  I LOVE THEM.

Friday's Five Favourites

1. Fishbowls -
Triples, in a fishbowl.  It's the best ever.  And for $8!  Not only do you get drunk quite quickly, but you get to drink out of a fishbowl.  It's a win-win.

2. Friendship Bracelets -
Fun to make, fun to wear. So many colours and patterns, it just sucks we can only do the basic patterns...

3. Alice Cooper -
Is it wrong that I (k2) am ridiculously obsessed with Alice Cooper?  It's just so sad that he's not single. (he's also extremely old...jus sayin k2)

4. Homemade McFlurries -
Apparently McDonalds is too expensive for us, so we bought everything you need to make a McFlurry at home.  Rolos, Aero, caramel AND chocolate sauce, and ice cream.  Success. Until we run out....

5. Art Gallery Events -
Tonight is "FUSE", where they have performances, tons of people, and this time they are giving out free headbands.  There's something about a really busy, loud, drunken art gallery that is really entertaining.

Friday's Five Favourites - HALLOWEEN EDITION

1. CANDY!
Halloween obviously involves candy.  And K1's mum sent us a BUNCH of good candy (Swedish Fish, Twizzlers, Mike&Ikes, etc) and we've been on a sugar high for... about a week and a half now.  And we still have a lot left, so this high could last a lot longer.

2. COSTUMES!
We will dress up for anything, so Halloween is a definite favourite of ours. We love being able to look and act ridiculous, and totally get away with it.

3. WAYNE'S WORLD!
We're being Wayne (K1) and Garth (K2) for Halloween.  We've got our flannel, and we've got Bohemian Rhapsody memorized (actually, I think we have about half the movie memorized!).  We're planning on SCHWING-ing everybody for the entire weekend. 

4. DEBAUCHERY!
This weekend we plan to get up to some mischief.  It's a write off weekend for school stuff, so we figure we may as well go all out.  3 days of possible mischievous, sneaky kittens?  We'll see what kind of trouble we can start...

5. FREE STUFF!
Free cookies, free candy, free alcohol.  We'll take it all.  And keep it coming.

PARTY ON!
We want you all to participate in your weekend favourites, or ours,  dressed fabulously in costume!

excellently.

Update

We just wanted to pop in and say sorry for the lack of posting! We have been very busy kittens lately and haven't had very many spare moments. However, Halloween is coming up this weekend and we will definitely have an outfit/Halloween post about our costumes. Once this week is over, hopefully we will resume a much more regular posting schedule.

Friday Five Favourites

1. Michael's -
There's a brand new Michael's really close to us now, and we have never been more excited.  A brand new, clean, organized, huge Michaels - perfect.  Plus with 40% coupons every week, it'll take all of our self control to study and not craft.

2. Knitting -
Again, Michael's helped us out with this.  Besides the fact that our hands start to really hurt after knitting, we still like the activity.  It's great to do while watching Don't Forget the Lyrics...

3. Hellcats -
This is embarrassing.  But true.  We've seen this being filmed and we like to watch the show and check out the background.  Plus, Ashley Tisdale "drunk" was wonderful.

4. Chips -
I don't know if I even have to explain this one...

5. Homemade Lattes -
We just bought some 'caramel latte' mix, and it's wonderful.  Sure, we've almost been through the entire thing in less than a week, but for $3 we can afford to have a caramel latte every day.  We can't afford that at Starbucks....

Ode to ModCloth

Ode to ModCloth by crazyeem featuring a vintage dress

One of my favourite places to find clothing online is ModCloth.com.  I'm a big fan of 1960s fashion, (Twiggy is probably my favourite model ever), and this site has tons of cool clothing with a vintage feel.  Their real vintage store is awesome too, but everything sells so quick it's hard to actually get anything. 

I love this purple coat because I'm not a huge fan of the current military trend, but this has just enough of a military feel to be 'trendy'.  And the tights are amazing, I love ModCloth's tights (also another good site is socktheory.com).  And they have a great selection of kitchen/apartment items, kind of like Urban, only better.  Basically I could buy everything from here.

Friday's Five Favourites

1. Half Birthdays
We love a good party and half birthdays are a good reason to celebrate. Today is K2's half birthday. Yeeee.

2. Rainbow Cake
Rainbows are fun, especially in cake form. For K2's birthday, I baked her a rainbow cake. There may have been a point where I thought it was going to explode but, it tastes delicious. k2 looked a tad bit worried when she saw it but, she tasted it and was in love. It'll be great for our fiesta tonight.

3. Beer-garitas.
Corona, tequila, frozen lime juice: what more could you ask for? Preferably served with lots of chips and guacamole.
( fyi - 4 coronas, 1 cup tequila and a can of frozen lime concentrate)

4. Autumn Days
It is finally cooling down here, which means autumn has arrived! K2 isn't as excited for the cold but, I love wearing hats, scarfs, boots, and warm knitted things. I'd have to say it is my favourite feeling to have a nice steaming tea or latte and enjoy a perfect autumn day.

5. Degrassi
True Canadians here.  Nothing beats the extreme (ridiculous) drama on this show.  Plus, it's been around forever, which makes it that much cooler.  And every time I see Drake, I want to ask him how he can all of a sudden walk.

K2's Half Birthday!!

 This post is dedicated to my favourite kitten around, K2. Today is her half birthday and I couldn't be more excited to celebrate with her tonight. We have told many people but, I'm really surprised most don't know what a half birthday is!
We tend to be quite smitten with irrelevant dates, so we are going to milk this half birthday for everything we can get. We are starting the celebration off right tonight with a fiesta. It will have beer-garitas, chips and guacamole, and quesadillas.
Hopefully you all have just as great Friday plans! It is the weekend, so live it up!

We'll be back later today with Friday's Five Favourites.

Favourite Outfit.

 Another feature that we would like to start on the blog is daily/weekly outfits. Basically our favourite from the week or what we are feeling that day.

Today's Outfit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like today's outfit because it's great for running around campus/class. I got my long sleeved dress at F21 and it's a great buy for the in-between weather right now. The back has cute bow cutouts. 

I paired this with a plain grey cardigan (not shown because I got too hot).  My go to black leggings are from AA. In the picture you can't really see, but I am wearing brown suede boots with gold studs. 

I was feeling extra autumn-y today and I can't wait for fall weather!

Friday's Five Favourites

With the start of the blog, we have decided to do a couple features that are weekly. One of them is going to be Friday's Five Favourites. Basically this will chronicle our 5 favourite things for the week! Hopefully once we get into a blogging schedule and get a better hang of this, our posts will become more intricate and all that jazz. Friday is definitely us kittens favourite day of the week, SO it's only necessary to have a great feature like this. So let's do this:

1. Don't Forget the Lyrics.
This is an old show that is now in syndication which K2 has discovered it and is in love. She is bound to learn every song they sing to use as a party trick.  I don't mind it because sometimes it is very entertaining. Minus Mark McGrath who is obnoxious.

2. Cantaloupe.
Some people find melon sick, but we recently bought a canatloupe and it is delicious. Also, it was only $2. We managed it eat it in 2 days while watching Don't Forget the Lyrics.....

3. Patterned Tights.
Kittens are smitten with tights. Tights are our favourite outfit additions and we're almost always wearing them. We both tend to prefer black but, with a little oopmf. Patterned tights are great with any outfit and we are desperately searching for new designs. K2 has this awesome pair that looks like a geometry test.

4. Teal Hair.
Already did a post on this but I can't resist. K2 has a streak of it in her hair and it looks great.
Plus, when it fades, it creates an entirely new colour!

5. White grape vodka with gingerale.

I think this is self explanatory...Kittens like a good drink and good music. End of story.

With that, we are going to get our party on.

October To-Do's

With a new month looming, and the year almost (what?) over, we decided to create a list of things we want to accomplish. Like poor little kittens, we have memory spans of about two seconds. So to avoid this problem, we are making a list!

1. Find cheap pattern tights.
2. Do a few DIY projects.
3. Go thrifting for Halloween. 
4. Work out 3 times a week.
5. Celebrate Kitten 2's half birthday.

Possible more to come, but we are having a memory lapse.

Favourite Pieces

So I'm pretty sure most people who are into to fashion, clothes, shoes, etc know about the amazing-ness of Polyvore. It's a site that I really enjoy browsing for new ideas and pieces. I love creating my own sets as well. I thought it would be fun to post a set on the blog that described my style. Pieces that I'm smitten (haha) with and things that make me happy.

daily by neminees featuring betsey johnson earrings

A big thing with me is floral, I love it so much. Kitten 2 is always given me crap about having too much of it. But I love it so! I also really love my Dr. Martens, they go with anything and are great for extra rainy weather. Finally, I am a big fan of leotards and black. Together, it is the most perfect combination.
I am going to have Kitten 2 make one of these as well!

Crazy Hair

Can we talk about how I much I am in love with brightly coloured hair?

 On Sunday, Kitten 2 and I dyed my hair. I was really feeling a teal colour and ended up having to buy a green and blue to mix. I used Special Effects and the results were fab. (I will post some pics soon).
I am in love the outcome of it.


It kinda resembles a peacock's feathers and surprisingly, the entire process didn't damage my hair. I can't wait to try more colours....I think my next may be lilac or a deep purple.
