Daily Wears: Mad Men Collection

There’s something about this collection that just makes my heart pitter patter.

My success at Banana Republic is fairly hit and miss. I can have a day where I want to buy everything in the store, or a day where I can find nothing I like.

The Mad Men collection has saved me. I’m head over heels in love.

When I spent a week in Toronto I bought one dress and an awesome pair of shoes (not from BR).

I’m totally in love with this dress.

The cut, the detailing, the colour. Everything! LOVES it.

If I could be anyone on Mad Men, it would totally be Betty Draper Francis. Probably because I’m in love with January Jones (speaking of, does anyone know who her baby daddy is?).

Truthfully, I’m way more pumped about Beyonce’s baby announcement, but when it comes to celebs and babies, I’m totally in!

I’m now seriously considering renewing my Netflix membership (that I cancelled a month ago) so I can continue catching up on Mad Men. The Cowboy and I were too busy during the summer to watch much, so we cancelled……now that fall TV will be starting up soon, maybe I’ll wait and proclaim Summer 2012 the Summer of Mad Men.

Are you a Mad Men fan? What about the BR Mad Men collection? Love it as much as I do?

Feels Like Fall

It’s not officially fall, but Starbucks sure makes it feel that way!

Waking up to rain this morning also made it feel a bit more fall-ish.

Oh, typical Calgary. 30 degrees yesterday, followed by 14 and rainy today (and let’s not talk about the 10 degrees and rain forecasted for tomorrow), at least I got to wear my fancy Lululemon rain coat (pictures coming later today).

I was pumped when Starbucks announced that Calgary would be able to order the PSL (aka – pumpkin spice latte) early and even marked it in my day planner so I’d be sure to make an extra stop on the way in to the office.

I find the PSL is a love it or hate it drink.

I also find that with pumpkin pie.

The Cowboy hates both – all the more for me!

Are you a PSL lover? Or would you rather leave it behind?
