Monday Hottie

Roberto

The obvious front runner in this competition, his dimples

and sweet demeanour make you love him as much as Ali does

Frank

At first I didn't know what to think of him, but the

longer he stays in the competition, the more I'm impressed

The Bachelorette with Ali is about halfway through the season, and by the looks of it she's kicking most of the duds off first and keeping most of my favourites!

There are 4 gents that I think deserve the spot for today's MH post because of their personalities and looks combined.

Enjoy :)

Kirk

What a sweetheart, this is one gentleman

I could picture myself loving for a long time

Chris L.

My favourite eligible bachelor. What's not to love about this kind,

beautiful man? He's not afraid to tell Ali how he feels and he's a guys guy!

Yes please :)

After falling in love with the picture of all the shoes in the closet I decided to check out more of the photographers work.

Mark Lund's portfolio is stunning. From delicious pictures of food, beautiful pictures of family and friends and stunning pictures of decor, this is one photographer I have my eye on!

Monday Hottie

It's been a while, but I'm back with another hot hot man.

Courtesy of True Blood (which premiered it's 3rd Season last night!) I give you Jim Parrack (aka Hoyt).

To say he's my favourite TB hottie would be true. Sure he's not a vampire, and he's not super buff, but he's awkward, shy and tall (dreamy), so I adore him.

PS. For those who've been avid followers of my little blog you've already seen my previous True Blood Monday Hotties. If you're a recent follower or just stumbling across this blog here are links to my entries on Alexander Skarsgard (Eric), Ryan Kwanten (Jason, he's Australian... mmm), and Joe Manganiello (Alcide).

The always stunning Kate Walsh knocks it out of the park with her classy style on Private Practice, and she has seamlessly brought over some of that newfound style knowledge into her personal style. Comfort and awe is what Kate is all about.

Alex O'Loughlin.

Saw The Backup Plan last night, and all I have to say about him is ... yum! He's so good looking in this movie.

One more thing to note, he's from Australia... so he comes with an accent. As if he needed to get hotter.

Super Stache Saturday

A friend sent me a link to a wonderful group of pictures titled The Trustworthiness of Beards.

Perfect for a Saturday post :)

Thanks Hugo.

Alexis Bledel.

Known mostly for her role on Gilmore Girls and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Her style is cute and young, reflecting the characters she has spent so long creating on screen.

Matthew Davis.

I just finished watching last Thursday's Vampire Diaries, and I'm quite enamored with Alaric Saltzman.

While he is quite the catch on the small screen, Matt has starred in other semi-well known movies in the past. Like Legally Blonde, and one of my favourites, Blue Crush.

Looking forward to seeing more of this guy.

Bonus shot of the hot Vampire Diaries men...

Now do you see why I watch this show?

Keira Knightley.

This beautiful, and sometimes waifish, actress knows how to dress for her thin frame.

While we haven't seen much of her on the big screen in North America lately, she is keeping her style lovely and current overseas.

Eyjafjallajokull sounds like jibberish, but it's actually the site of the volcano eruption in Iceland.

I came across these breathtaking pictures, courtesy of a few incredibly talented photographers, while trying to find more information about the volcano.

These incredibly stunning stills are captured with such ease that it makes you feel like you're there, experiencing this once in a lifetime event.

There are 35 pictures in total, and the rest can be seen here.

Michael Buble.

This Canadian crooner has such stunning vocals and has been making hit records for the better part of a decade.

Just last night he took home 6 Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent to the Grammy's) including Pop Album of the Year - Crazy Love.

Handsome and talented, can't ask for much more from a Canadian.

Super Stache Saturday

I've been slacking on some recent Super Stache Saturday posts, but this one made me laugh so I had to share it immediately!

Floyd Pepper ... is a Muppet. Yes people, a Muppet with a sweet ginger moustache! Can this get any better? Oh, he's also the bass player for The Electric Mayhem, a band on The Muppet Show.

Is it weird that when I look at his picture I want carrots? Must be the G. in him.

Font, font, font

What type are you?

Take this typography quiz if you're interested in finding out what type of font you are.

I was astonished to find out how accurate mine was!

My result: Marina Script. I would definitely be a Script font if I had to choose.

Jamie Oliver.

Jamie has been a well known chef in England for over 10 years, but it wasn't until recently that he started making a huge change in the way people live their lives.

After finding success in England, Jamie is bringing his change to North America. In his show titled Food Revolution, he campaigns against the use of processed foods in schools by changing unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits.

If you haven't seen Food Revolution, I urge you to check it out. It's on Friday evenings at 9pm for the next few weeks.

Happy Easter!

Jessica Szohr.

One of the many beauties from Gossip Girl. Her story line is getting larger on the show, which can only mean, more clothing options!! Her eclectic style on the show carries over into her personal life where she isn't afraid of layering and bright colours. Perfect for a spring day.

Walk for a Cure

This August I'm walking (with my friend Nina) in the Weekend To End Women's Cancers. It's a 60k walk around the city of Vancouver, over 2 days, and the purpose of it is to raise money and awareness for Women's Cancers, with Breast Cancer being one of the most prominently featured.

I've done this walk before, and the feeling you get from accomplishing this is something I will hold with me for the rest of my life. I am more then excited to embark on this journey with a close friend of mine, and take in the scenery of the beautiful Lower Mainland.

I have to do a bunch of training leading up to it, and I've started walking 3 - 5k 2 times a week. It's a little tough to fit it in with work and school schedule, but I've managed. I know the closer I get to the Weekend, the more motivated I will feel.

In order to partake in this walk, I have to raise at least $2,000 (although I have set my goal to $3,000). If you're interested in donating please click here.

For those of you who read my blog (or those who just happened to come across it), I'm throwing some positive energy out to you. In hopes that you see/read this, and decide to help me towards my goal. If you're not personally affected by it, maybe you know someone who is. Please pass the idea along to them.

I will be walking for my Aunt (who is a 3 time cancer survivor) and in memory of my Uncle and Father (who I miss every day).

Thank you Armani!

David Beckham.

Today's post is in honor of my friend Allegra's birthday, which took place a little over a week ago. I happen to know that this English Footballer is one of her favourites, and I can appreciate beauty when I see it.

Unfortunately Beckham suffered a pretty severe injury that will sideline him for over 6 months, but that doesn't mean we still can't take advantage of his good looks. I'm sure he will be attending a game or two alongside his fashionable wife, Posh.

Super Stache Saturday

Mister Geppetto.

Geppetto plays the main character in The Adventures of Pinocchio, who carves a boy out of wood and brings him to life. While Geppetto and Pinocchio laugh and dance around the screen, so does Mister Geppetto's sweet little moustache. Another Disney 'stache classic.

More like Model Envy... I Love Heidi Klum. The more I see and hear from her, the more I love her. She's hilarious, gorgeous, has a great sense of humour, has the one of the strongest relationships in hollywood, and continues to have a successful career, as well as being a supermodel, after giving birth to 4 kids!

Dear Heidi Klum,

In my next life I will be you.

Love,

Cherry Blossoms 2.0

I love cherry blossoms, and this picture of the sun setting and the lights coming on at the Delta Victoria Ocean Point Resort and Spa is just stunning.

It was taken a few days ago by Benjamin over at Victoria Daily Photo. He captures the most detailed, beautiful photos of things I wouldn't even think of.

Lovely.

Saab Sanctuary

Lebanese designer Elie Saab

Can't have too many candles

Stunning bedroom

Architectural Design Magazine featured my favourite designer, Elie Saab, at his Paris home.

I knew the man had exquisite taste in fashion design, and his home reflects that.

With help from architect Chakib Richani, his home showcases enormous floor to ceiling space, attention grabbing flower arrangements in every room, and too many candles to count. All of which create a romantic and serene environment for one of the busiest fashion designers around.

I watched SNL on Saturday night out of sheer boredom, and Jude Law happened to be hosting. I had forgotten how delicious his accent was, and parts of it were quite funny.

I seriously need to take a long trip to London, and maybe forget to buy a return ticket.

Super Stache Saturday

Last weekend I happened to tune into Saturday Night Live, and I'm glad I did because Zach Galifinakis was the host. Funniest SNL I've seen in a long time.

Starting with the opening monologue and ending with a skit where he has a moustache!

If you happened to have missed the show, I urge you to check out Zach's series of videos for Funny Or Die called 'Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifinakis'. It kills me!
