Back From the USA

Hello Urban Women,


I have just returned from a wild trip to the U.S.A. I took the time to record some urban trends into my hand held recording device so that when I got home I could share them with all of you!


I felt totally at home in the U.S because a lot of the Americans like wearing Disney Ts and putting stuffed animals in the rear windshield of their cars. I have a few Disney Ts myself, but instead of leaving them in their traditional style I usually jazz mine up with a bit of puffy paint, a pair of scissors, and my bedazzler. I think Walt Disney would be proud of how his characters provide me with such inspiration. I also have a few teddy bears in the back of my car and I am sure to rotate the little guys around so their rich fur doesn't fade with the sunlight. Once I put SPF on a couple of my faves thinking it would stop the damage from the sun's rays, but instead it just made all of my teddies look like pre-teen greasers. Totally embarassing.


The other top trend that I noticed was toe nail decals. As many of you know I am a major fan of toe nails in general and I especially like the creative ones. I seen a few encrusted with jewels, and a few with nail art designs and funky decals. Obviously my top style pick were the toenails that were shaped into a point. It is sort of like Twilight meets Teen Wolf. I tried it out but while I was waiting for an appointment I noticed the point starting to poke through the little eyelet hole in my Crocs-so I filed it down in the waiting room.

I think I am going to relax now and crack open a bottle of my favourite designer wine (Barefoot Rose-you should all try it! The price point is very reasonable). Sometimes to make my evening drink a little special I add in a touch of crystal lite powder or a dash of Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Usually a glass of vino helps me get over my jet lag-I use this trick a lot when I come home from Edmonton.


Until next time,


Urban Woman
