    What I Wore : New Year’s Eve

    nye outfit 03


    As mentioned yesterday, we went to a party at a nightclub for New Year's Eve. I would say that this venue is more casual rock-and-roll than fancy, although anything goes there.

    I decided to go with this sheer polka-dotted shirt, pairing it with a short black skirt, tank-top, and leggings. I glammed things up a bit with a big red cocktail ring and a colourful necklace. Also worn is an elastic belt (that I made and posted about here) but you can barely see it in the photos.

    There's a nightclub that Nick and I have been going to forever, even before we met one another, called The Bovine. Together we have rung in quite a few new years there and it has always been a good time. They do a great job and we are grateful to have it nearby.

    This New Year's Eve 2013, The bands they had on the bill were The Downbelows and The Mahones. Both were really good, keeping the party hopping.

    Eddie and I Have Been Treated Well

    ed having a treat 04


    My parents' dog kiki, who visited at Christmas, brought along a gift for Eddie. It was a bag of the best treats he has ever tasted. He loves them.

    Until now the only ones he really went for, were the kitty equivalent to a McD Happy Meal. His nose was turned up at the offer of the nice homemade ones from a country market, and the gourmet ones picked up at the fancy pet-supply shop. I was actually contemplating making him some myself, but, um, no.

    What's great about him loving these treats is that they are a healthy choice. Which makes me happy too. It is now a lot more fun giving him a treat, because I don't have to worry about what I am giving him.

    The treats are My Mighty Lion and are only available in Canada for now. Their site has a list of stores and there is also mail order too.

    So thanks mom (I mean Kiki), from both of us.
