birthday | Ruby Nite

Outside the comfort zone

♦ Lace Vest: Clothing Swap ♦ Leopard Top & Fishnets: Torrid ♦ Shorts: City Chic ♦ ♦ Boots: Fluevog ♦ Necklace: Forever21 ♦ This year I decided that I would give shorts another shot at winning my heart. We had broken up some time in the early 90′s during the era of grunge when all I needed were some ripped jeans to feel sassy. And honestly, the shorts available in Canada for an inbetweenie teenage girl were pretty unattractive. Over the last few months I have seen...

Sean’s birthday!

Last Saturday night was Sean’s birthday party and after some pre drinks and pub grub at Disgraceland, we headed for some Karaoke in a private room. I find we are starting to do this more often for birthday’s and it is always a blast. I do find it a bit intimidating sometimes though when we go with people who play in a band for a living. Luckily our friends encourage the good, the bad and the cheesy so it was a great night. Originally I had a completely different outfit planed...

Turning 35 is not so bad

This first outfit is what I decided to wear on my 35th birthday kicking around Amsterdam with the man I love. Which was the perfect way to celebrate a significant milestone for me.

Normally I would be in a quiet...

Little bit of grandma ~ Little bit of sass

I have to say that I pretty much hit the jackpot when it comes to my in-laws. They are amazing people in every sense of the word and I love them dearly.

So I can say with all honesty that when it came time to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday in November I was pretty excited. I knew that I wanted to really get dressed up and rock a bit of a vintage...

A birthday party for my love & my outfit

Back in April, it was my husband’s birthday and we celebrated it with some of our family and friends at the Cadillac Lounge, a local bar. Back when we first started dating, I used live across from this fantastic pub and it became a regular hang out for us, especially for birthdays. As you can see from the slideshow above, we had a great night hanging out and having a fabulous time. I probably do not say it enough but we are lucky to be surrounded by a talented, loving and amazing...
