ONE TEASPOON

Incase anyone has missed my many talks about how rad One Teaspoon is...here it is again.

One Teaspoon has just been brought over to Canada from Austrailia...we (Heads or Tail) have brought it into the shop because we were pretty sure the Austrailians would jump all over it considering we have ALOT of 'em in BANFF, and did they ever!! I havent been to Aus but I know how to spot one. They are always dressed to impress and they adore One Teaspoon so it's about time N.America has jumped on this great fashion and has imported it...FOR CHEAPER!!! howwww they have done it? i have no idea....but they did and we should all benefit from it!! Fergie sure is ;) My celeb crush is Josh Duhamel and he's married to her...so DAMN maybe if i wear One Teaspoon Josh will come running? hmmm ....a girl can dream :)

check out her shorts...yup, we got 'em.........in a white wash as well ;) come hither my loves!!

our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

WE REALLY HOPE YOU CAN JOIN US FOR OUR CELEBRATION!! COME GRAB SOME GOODIES, A DRINK AND EVEN HAVE A DANCE PARTY WITH THE DJ'S THAT WILL BE SPINNIN' LIVE!! HELLOOOOO GOOOOOD TIMES!! JULY 1ST. 1PM-5PM. BOOM.

Weddings? yay?! or ugg?!

Well depending if your excited to attend a wedding or not this season, your gonna wanna look good. Chances are your returning home and will see old friends, ex boyfriends, best friends, family..whaaaaatever, either way you wanna make people go "damn, she's doin' goooood"

so ... here's some tips:

1. get a nice glow on, some people like tanning beds, some like spray tans, some like lotion tans...i wont judge how you do it.

Recently i discovered this "body tint" lotion from LUSH! it's fantastic. and the worst news is, they have discontinued it!? WTF? so if you can hands on some "charlotte island" lotion. it's a life changer. non streaky. doesnt rub off easily. smells like chocolate and bananas MMMM :)

2. get your hair did at the salon. so it's fresh and lookin' real healthy.

3. find that perfect outfit, if you need help figuring out your body type refer down a few posts.

4. if your allowed a date, get a hunky man on your arm. preferably someone that's your bud so you dont get into an awkward situation ;)

5. be prepared. however and whatever you need to get through a night of family, friends, old friends, old flames or new flames ;)...make sure you got it on ya!

Here's some pics of dresses we have at the shop right now that would do you justice for such an event :)

For all those Canucker's out there...

PLEASE VOTE

So Banff has a chance to win money towards the GREENHOUSE they wanna build.
most of us live in apartments of areas we dont get much sunlight all day needed to grow us some fresh goodies.

i tried multiple times last year to grow sum stuff, even flowers and it's a no go. Between the no snow and the deers eatin' up all the goods we in Banff dont stand a chance.

so PLEASE VOTE on the link below. it's EASY and QUICK, you can just sign in through facebook on their link provided or sign in with a username.

My insides thank you!

Sailor me up Sailor

So i noticed while i was walking around the tradeshow last august with my sista that almost every line we looked had, had something to do with nautical theme. so therefore its' established, Nautical themed fashion is a pretty great way to look great this summer!!

you can type it in google if you dont believe me, i'm finding it everywhere:

Here's our version of the fun theme from Pink Martini:

Everyone needs a NEW summer beer

Well, here it is folks.... last year lime flavored beers took over and now this year low calorie beers are coming in effect. SO the Molson genius' themselves have put the two together and added lemon! Ladies, it's a no brainer! Boys, we could all use low calorie items from time to time..then you can just eat more wings?

i do have a thing with dark colored bottles but that's just my own thing, i'll just have to take the extra step to put it into a frosted glass ;)

although...when i'm rafting from sunshine to banff, i'll just deal with it. my diva ways will just have to wait ;)

Sync MUSIC

because i can:


http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=212519022099584

that is all. HEARTS!!!

Accessorizeeee ur'self

With music festival season happening, spring bbq's, bicycle rides and strolls by the river about to explode on our town there's no reason to not look good doin it. And that doesnt mean you have to empty your wallets to get there. Trust me when i say Accessories are IMPORTANT! you can take an everyday shorts and tee outfit that you've owned for 3 seasons now and with a few necklaces, a hat, sunnies, bangles, or feather earrings it can turn that outfit into a head turner.

Here's some celebrity pics to show you what i mean:

And here's some instore items we have that can help you complete your own unique look this summer as well as help you shade yourself from the scorchers we are about to have :)

These hats you can pair with almost anything!! $30-$40

Feather earrings have exploded all over Banff and i think the cities are starting to catch on and wanna jump on board. you should too! $25-$30

Duh. Everyone needs a pair of sunnies. Ours are $20 or 2 for $30

Cut offs. So sick. you look good no matter what you wear with these. These are our version by One Teaspoon $58.. but you can easily make your own from an old pair of jeans and some sand paper and scissors! your welcome ;)

Summa Lovin' Happened So Fast

As some of you may or may not know, This is Heads or Tail's first summer of doing this style of clothing. It was a chance we were willing to take seeing how there really isnt much shopping unless you are a die hard Roxy or Billabong fan. We wanted to offer the ladies in town something different, something fresh and hip and unique. So we came up with a few list of companies we thought would go over well and here's 3 that are really doing well. We cant keep stuff in stock so if you do yourself a favor and follow our facebook page, you'll be the first to know when we have new stuff arriving to get first dibs !!

www.facebook.com/HeadsOrTail

Up first we have One Teaspoon! It's an Austrailian based brand and has been a real hit in town with all our aussie friends.

Next we have BB Dakota, it's not a well known brand in Banff but it sure does get a lot of press in People's Style Watch and Cosmopolitan mags this year:

And prolly our most popular brand in the store right now is Pink Martini! this stuff i've had to re-order and it still sold out. it fits great, all size ranges and definatly stands out above the rest!

So i hope that kinda gives you the jist of the styles and looks we're goin for in the shop. We'll have new stuff coming monthly so dont be afraid to come check it out when your roamin' downtown!

Every girl is either Betty or Veronica

Body Basics

So the first main thing you gotta do is what kinda body you have. This is a key thing to know when your dressing yourself and shopping, it'll help cut down time in the changing room when you know what items to just not even gooooo there with.

so here's some guidelines to help you:

HourGlass Figure:
now i know the picture is a lil extreme but i'm sure you get the point. here's your tips:

Your main style aims are......to emphasize your curves, especially your waist, without adding bulk:

Do wear...•Fitted and semi-fitted clothes
•Soft, clingy, flowing fabrics •Low to medium-low necklines
Dresses with defined waistlines •Straight and gently flared pants •Straight and gently flared shirts

Don't wear...•Stiff, bulky, fabrics •Baggy styles •High necklines (unless you have a small bust)
•Skirts with open pleats •Very tapered pants



Top Heavy:

Your main style aims are......to create the illusion of the perfect hourglass body shape by balancing your lower body to your upper body and to draw attention away from your upper body.

Do wear...•Flowing fabrics •Low to medium-low necklines •Set-in sleeves
•Three-quarter length sleeves •A good fitting, well adjusted bra
•Tops and dresses that flow through the waist •A-line skirts •Flared pants

Don't wear...•Stiff, bulky, fabrics •Styles that emphasize your shoulders
•High necklines •Big collars •Tapered skirts and pants


Pear Shaped:

Not the funnest shape thats for sure, but i've been blessed with it so for me i found what works best is really showin' on dem shoulders. so i buy top that are usually flowy but bare the skin up top. samesies goes for dresses. As for the bottom half, i sport the skinny jean these days, it was hard for me to go for it but i feel like if you "pear" it with a longer top (goes to about your mid-thiegh) and the right shoes/boots....it really hides the hip factor :) here's what other people said:

Your main style aims are......to balance your top half to your bottom half by creating the appearance of a wider upper body.

Do wear...•Accessories and designs to draw attention to your upper body •Short-sleeved tops •Medium to high necklines •Garments to emphasize your waist •Skirts and dresses that are straight or slightly flared •Low rise pants to avoid gaping at the waist •Boot leg and straight pants

Don't wear...•Baggy garments •Stiff fabric •Garments that add bulk to your hips •Hems or design lines at hip-line •Open pleats on skirts or pants •Tapered skirts or pants


Rectangle/Boy Shaped:

Your pretty lucky cuz most people i see can pretty much getaway with anythign their hearts desire. it's annoying. damn you skinny girls , jk you look gooood. anywho...reading up on it, these were some things that were noted. whether i believe them or not is up to me, i'm not a fashion expert. so obey them if you choose but i will not judge you if you do :)

Your main style aims are......to add curves by:
•Defining your shoulders •Or, if you are slender, by defining your waist

Do wear...•Semi-fitted clothes •If you have firm upper arms, short-sleeves and sleeve-less tops and dresses •Medium to high necklines •Dresses that wrap or flow through the waistline •Straight to gently flared flat-fronted pants •A-line shirts

Don't wear...•Clingy fabrics•Low necklines •Baggy pants •Narrow skirts

Diamond Shape:

Your main style aims are......to to create the illusion of a longer, inverted triangle body shape. And to draw attention upwards towards your shoulders and face.

Do wear...•Earrings, necklaces and other focal points designed to draw an observer's eyes up towards your shoulders and face •Semi-fitted and loose fitting clothes •Good fitting, well adjusted bras •Support underwear
•Low necklines •Un-tucked tops
•Tops and dresses that flow through the waistline •Straight flat-fronted pants in soft, flowing fabric •Straight and slightly flared skirts

Don't wear...•Clingy fabrics •Fitted clothes •Fabric with large patterns •High necklines •Large lapels •Belts or Tucked-in tops •Pleats •Narrow or tapered skirts •Narrow or tapered pants

so i hope this helps a bit, and then when you come into Heads or Tail or any other store you may be shopping in. you can remember these key things to help you find that perfect item in half the time!

i did have help putting this together though, i found some information off this site: check it out if you need more tips about your body ;) http://www.style-makeover-hq.com/

that's all i can think of for now. what a solid month this is gonna be!

Heads up peeps:

You embarrass yourself if:

-your wearing your sunglasses inside... ESPECIALLY if it's raining/cloudy/snowing outside. unless your Jay-Z or Snoop.

-you dont tip your server/bartender (exception only if the service was absolute terrible on all accounts ie: server/management/host/food)

-your wearing Ed Hardy products

-your wearing a mini skirt and platforms walking around in the tall snow during th day (understandable if it's at night, we'll assume ur goin' to tha cluuuuuuuuub)

haha ..this is all i have for now. this is all i saw today. more to come soon. xo

make the right choice k?

so instead of makin a pros and cons list like i was gonna ...i decided to make a list of things you shoulllld do instead of what you were gonna do. hope that makes sense...you'll catch on, check it :

Instead OF:

laying around on the couch all morning.....get up , do errands, gym, take a walk, whatever. your already awake so why not do something....and then have a nap later ..guilt free? ehhh? ehh??

spending that last $20 in your pocket on a round of fatty breezer flys with vodka in it (ridiculous right?) on you and your buds.... leave the bar, walk home and then you have cash for the next day to eat something delicious! Ehh?? righttt!!?

i know...so smart..just getting started:

complaining your fat... dont order mayo dip for your fries, order house salad.

making out on or at the bar.... get a room

going to calgary to shop..... check banff first (bahh had to do a "shop local" plug there haha

hating your job.... quit. find a job you can be passionate about.

hating on a girl/guy that you don't know... get to know them

dressing bad..... dress good k? (that implies no sweatpants worn out of the house

watching Jersey Shore.... watch annyyyythingggg elseee FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....it IS making you DUMB! think to yourself....have i overreacted at the bar? BINGOOOO i bet it's cuz you got influenced from that show. i'm right your wrong. dont even try to argue with me.

and lastly...Instead of:

shopping at Hempire...bahhh jk not gonna go there....

ordering me a jager shot... order me a grape BOMB! chug cheers boom ZING! thanx :)

Don't pretend it's not funny.....

Got Snow?

Yup....we did ! Banff that is. This pic i stole from Yanni on facebook. but this is no lie...i think we got more snow that this but it's paints a good picture for ya.

here's some things you can do because it finally snowed so much that you can't help but have fun in it.

-snowboarding/skiing (duh)

-shovelling (yes believe it or not, i had a great time shovelling my walkway, a path to my car and these gigantic steps up to our place, i was in awe)

-sledding

-tobogganing

-snowball fights (i should prolly get some people together and do this)

-bury a cat and see if finds it way out (sorry to all the cat lovers, not like i acccctually did this....or did i?)

-donuts in your car

-slap some skates on and see if you can push through all the snow on the frozen river

-follow a deer around

etc.. etc.. it's endless. make sure to wear proper gear though. dont be dumb.

Parker...kinda a big deal!

Ladies and Gents that love the Dj type of music: be sure to catch this show! i haven't seen him first but all i heard from when people got back from Sham last year was how he killed it. He's being compared to ASKILLZ and well...if you know know who askillz is then, well... we can't be friends. bahhh totally joking. but he's good. just take my word for it. SO i'm assuming Heads or Tail will have a few free tix to hand out for the nights seein' as how they Presenting the show along with Aurora. If not well i just dont even know wut to say. Hope to see you kids out!! xo

I just wanted to give a big hug and high five to the Stavros, Paul Baxter and Brian Standish for looking out for the small business' in town and knowing it's incredibly hard in this town as it is, but now we have to pay a lot more for our garbage. i getttt there are reasons behind it but the fact of the matter is....with the way things are going right now....like really? REALLY Town of Banff...did you have to throw this on us now? ANNDDD raise our license fees TOO?

just saying.

ps. Fernie's business license's are around $80.
i'm lookin' out at least $1600....

uggggggggggggggggggggggg.

all i ask of Banff these days is SHOP LOCAL!!!!! for the love of our town and the people in it....DO IT! don't assume banff doesnt have what your looking for, between banff and canmore i'm sure we do! Dont just run off to Calgary without at least trying.

Survive!!

one day...
