Funny Friday: Epic Split

Launched last week and viral within minutes, Volvo Trucks put out a video starring Jean-Claude VanDamme to demonstrate their precision steering. It's one of my most fave videos and I can't stop watching it! It's a combination of funny and cool. My best guess would be that most have seen it but in the off chance someone hasn't I posted it below (and if you haven't DO watch it - it's that good), BUT that's not what today's post is about... it is about the second video I have included. That video, is 100% humor. If you're a fan of 21 Jump Street and/or Channing Tatum, I think you'll agree... enjoy!



Have a great weekend!

Funny Friday: Batdad

Added to YouTube 2 weeks ago, and sitting with more than 7 million views, there is no doubt that "BatDad" has gone viral. In the off chance you've not yet seen it, it was an obvious choice for today's post... and if you have already seen it, I'm sure like me, you're all to eager to watch it again! I wish I could pick a favourite part but there are TOO MANY! Enjoy and happy Friday!!!

Funny Friday

So I saw this a little while ago and thought it was quite funny: What if Cher from Clueless had Instagram...

I loved Clueless, and I love Instagram so this touched a special place in my heart, haha!

Funny Friday: For Us Gals

A little Friday humour for the ladies... 

Have a great long weekend!!!

Funny Friday: Sharknado

It's real. Sharknado is a real movie. I'd heard lots of buzz about Sharknado on social media sites, in passing, and then I finally saw the trailer for it. After ALL THAT it never really dawned on me that Sharknado was a real movie. Maybe it was that I saw Ian Ziering (of original 90210 fame) and Tara Reid in the trailer - that almost made it more likely to be a spoof or an SNL digital-short or something of that nature. Nope. It has a real script, a real cast, real money went into it and a real TV network aired it. The best part maybe? That there's already a sequel in the works. Yup. So anyway, in case you've not seen it, I am making sure you see the trailer in all it's glory.



As if that's not funny enough, click here to see what The Weather Network did to acknowledge Sharknado. Not just the video, check out the commentary! 

On that note, wishing you all a happy and Sharknado-free weekend! :) 

P.S. I still can't believe this is real, haha!

Not your average outfit post

This outfit post is not going to tell you how to look long and lean, or how to flatter your silhouette, nor will it tell you how to wear the latest trends. What it WILL tell you is how to be cozy and a little bit majestic at the same time!

Let me introduce you to my unicorn onesie. Like most girls, as a child I found myself rather infactuated (obsessed???) with rainbows, pink, and unicorns. Yes, I was the epitome of a girly girl, and still am. Fast forward to my adult life: I still do everything possible to embrace those things I onced loved so very much, but perhaps in a more mature and subtle way. This is of course until I stumbled across these beauties online. And by stumbled, I mean I typed something the likes of "unicorn adult onesie" into Google. There she was. A beautiful pink unicorn one-piece just waiting to be worn by me. It was meant to be. Of course when I saw a blue one and showed my roommate, she was all to willing to become the blue unicorn to my pink unicorn. 

The day they came in the mail and I pulled them out of the box, I just remember hunching over and laughing so hard. They were exactly what I envisioned, if not better! The heads too - they were a bit more sturdy and stuffed than I thought and that is what was killing me. I have nothing bad to say about them - they're awesome. Wearing it just makes me feel so happy and like a kid again! I definitely don't feel like a professional career woman, but who wouldn't like a little vacation from that by simply putting on a unicorn onesie?

P.S. These are just as comfortable as they look, if not more. 

P.P.S. The above pictures were taken by a friend of mine who JUST SO HAPPENED to come over unexpectedly the first night we wore them. And she never does that! It was one of those right-place-right-time moments for her. Imagine a unicorn answering the door? Haha! :)

Funny Friday: Fashion Insultants

A couple of weeks ago I was watching Jimmy Kimmel and there's a segment he did with Guillermo and his Aunt Chippy called Fashion Insultants. I just tracked it down to share because I thought it was hilarious and I hope you do too! It's about exactly what it sounds like it's about, and it's so good. Happy Friday!

Funny Friday: Female Reality

Let's not pretend that this isn't a little bit true! We really can be complicated little creatures and I just thought this was too hilarious not to share. Sometimes this is just the way we are...  :)

Funny Friday: Oscars & Jennifer Lawrence

To cap of this week following the Oscars, I thought I'd share some funny things not just having to do with the Oscars, but also having to do with Jennifer Lawrence. I have said it a million times (or twice) and I will say it again: prior to seeing Silver Linings Playbook I really didn't like her much but now - after the movie, seeing interviews and her awards show flubs - I'm kinda loving her!

The first thing I want to share is a photo The Platform (best known for personalities such as P'Trique) posted on Facebook yesterday, with the caption "Who else thinks this should be an actual ad in the next issue of Vogue? Tumbling is SO chic right now."

Here are a couple of Jennifer Lawrence videos that have been making their rounds on the internet this week. The first, her hilarious press speech after winning her Oscar:


And when she met Jack Nicholson for the first time after he crashed her ABC interview...


Have a fabulous weekend!

Funny Friday: Celebrity Tweets

If you happen to have a few minutes (and I really hope you do!), please take a look at this little YouTube playlist I've put together. 

I happen to think that Jimmy Kimmel is HILARIOUS and browsing through his YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon these gems. In these 3 videos he has celebrities read real tweets that were either directed @ them or about them. Seriously funny stuff here! (I put them in order but I'd say 2 and 3 are the best) Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend! 

 

Irrational Fear

I saw this humorous little picture on Pinterest the other day and it totally rang true to me! Anyone else? Anyone? I hope so! I’ve already shared that I am a serious outfit planner, but this adds another element to it all...

You know when you've just bought a new outfit or a new piece of clothing and you're so excited to wear it! But you don't wear it just yet, because the right opportunity hasn't presented itself: the opportunity where you will be with a few of your peers, or in a public place, or a special occasion of sorts? Well this happens to me more often then I'd like to admit. In addition to this picture someone on a TV show recently mentioned this fear, and I laughed at how silly the fear is BUT also how I definitely experience it. Does anyone else "save" their outfits so that they can be premiered appropriately? I can't imagine I'm alone on this one! I think part of the fear comes from how excellent it actually feels when you DO wear a fabulous outfit to the perfect occasion!

I've noticed a lot of people are making it a resolution to shop at stores less and shop their own closet more - I'm hoping to do this as well - I happen to think that will help the issue some by getting those great outfits into circulation more. Hopefully... :)

It's a Shoe! It's a Chair! It's a Shoe Chair!

I am not normally one to show off presents that I receive, but this one is WAY TO COOL not to share quite frankly! After Christmas dinner my family all gathers together and the presents get passed out to the appropriate people, then we all open together. Pretty standard stuff. Until this GIANT present lands at my feet - so big in fact, it's wrapped very carefully (and creatively) with a red table cloth! It's from my Gramma. First, it's huge. Second, it's kind of triangular in shape so I don't even bother with guessing! 

When I start opening it, it's wrapped in cellophane so it's still hard to see but I can make out what I think is leopard print... yup, it's leopard... it's a chair... that is shaped... like a... shoe? It's a shoe chair! How cool is this?! Apparently she found it in the summer and immediately thought of me. It's pretty perfect! And it fits in really well with the overall decor I've got going on at my house! (My house is not what's pictured - that's still at my parents.) Shortly after Christmas a few girlfriends and I got together for a snacks and games night, and as a joke and a way to show off my new present, I pulled the shoes chair up to the table while we played. No joke, that thing is incredibly comfortable! I couldn't believe it! Anyway, like I said, I couldn't help but share my latest and greatest addition to my home. 

Thanks to my Gramma, my passion for shoes has now been translated into the most unique and fun piece of furniture ever! :) 

Best Moments from the 2013 Globes

By "best" moments, I really also mean funniest moments! If you're like me and you did not see all or most of the Golden Globes on Sunday, you were probably online trying to get brought up to speed with what went down. The majority of research was probably dedicated to who actually took home the awards, but knowing that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hosting, I knew I was looking for the laughs that I missed! I was not disappointed. In addition to their awesome opening monologue, I also found another share-worthy clip from the awards with two of my favourite people, Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig, presenting an award. If you haven't seen either clip, this is what today's post is for! They are not to be missed. Enjoy!

Must See TV: Girls

One of my newest favourite shows is premiering this weekend for it's Season 2! The show (if you haven't guessed already) is Girls. If you have not seen the show yet, you've likely heard about it. Girls is an HBO show that kind of popped up out of nowhere (another show recommendation from my mom) and I just think it's so great. To describe this show it would be easy to first think of Sex and the City, but that's probably because it's about 4 very different girls living in New York City. Other than that, it is a very different show. The girls are younger and they deal with very different, very realistic problems. Like Sex and they City, you have your favourites but you can't help but root for all of them. Each character is brilliant and unique. This includes the guys too! There are some brilliant actors playing some interesting characters on this show. The writing is unreal too. Mostly funny, but also serious, dramatic, heart-wrenching - all of it! The shows creator and writer, also happens to be the shows star, Lena Dunham who plays Hannah. What talent.


Needless to say, I'm pretty excited for it to be back. And if you've not seen it for yourself, I recommend you do!

Bonus: Only if you like Girls AND indie movies do I recommend the film Tiny Furniture. It, like Girls, is written and directed by - and staring - Lena Dunham. I saw it not too long ago and loved it! Very her. Very brilliant.

Waking up... on a Monday

I came across this cute quote from Zooey Deschanel and I couldn't help but share it... especially on a Monday! I can certainly relate to this from time to time. More so in the cold winter months. The only thing I might amend is hugs before 10am, or the second cup of coffee, whichever comes first! :)

Decorated! Gangnam Style

It took several hours of hard labour but my roommate and I finally decorated our house. We even had time left over to make a quick video of what it looks like! 

Ok, just kidding (obviously). But in the spirit of our decorating festivities last night I wanted to share this video! There always seems to be one of these every year... :)

Facial Cues

With Facebook, Instagram and other social platforms, it seems like there are picture everywhere of everything. Including you! Are you conveying what you want with your facial cues? Or are in need of a little guidance? Well, today is your lucky day. I'm sharing with you P'trique's guide to speaking with you smile. Don't you just love him/her?!?!  

Throwback Thursday: Bridesmaids

One of the best (comedy) movies ever created is Bridesmaids. Hands-down. One of my favourite scenes was everything that happend with Kristin Wigg on the plane, so when I stumbled upon this meme I thought it would be perfect to take us back down memory lane!

Also, Happy American Thanksgiving!

A Poem Before the Weekend

This weekend in Ottawa is the annual Wine and Food Festival! And what a festival it is. It's essentially a trade show where people wander around in search of sample food and drinks. I like that you can always see your staple vendors - whether a favourite local restaurant, or your favourite brand of wine - but also, it's a great place to try new things out! It's also an excuse to get dressed up and go out (in the afternoon) and have fun with friends. This year a friend of mine is making it her birthday celebration! I anticipate lots of wine and good times. Before signing off for the weekend, I wanted to share with you a quick poem:

Sh*t Fashion Girls Say

This is one of my favourite videos ever on the internet ever!  Starring P'Trique (who is now a viral/internet sensation) this is play on the popular Sh*t Girls Says (in case you couldn't tell). This is part two, but I think it's the better one. It's hard to pick a favourite part or line but one of them is definitely "I'm just going to have a personality drink before we go". Enjoy!
