aaaaahhh... it feels like a sauna out there! the weather network was just reporting that this was been the warmest recorded temperature here since the 1940s!! that's a whopping 39 degrees celsius (102 fahrenheit).. goodness me!
ever since the temperature rose up, i've been challenging myself to wear anything but black. so i decided to pull out some pastel pieces and come up with this outfit for a day at the ice cream store! also, i realized that i have gone about 2 shades darker in terms of my skintone. i actually had to combine my joe fresh concealer with a darker elf one just so it can blend well on my face.
today was a great day to head out and get some ice cream. cold stone creamery opened a franchise store attached to a tim hortons and since i've tried the marble slab one, i wanted to see how this one compares to it. so i decided to pay a visit!
if you're not familiar with them, the whole concept of their ice cream is that they try to mix the toppings of your ice cream on the spot on a frozen granite stone, making sure that you get fresh ingredients.
to be honest, i was expecting a bit more from cold stone creamery. i ended up getting something similar to the one i got from marble slab so i can really make a good comparison. i feel like the ingredients weren't as well mixed as the one i got from marble slab. tsk tsk.. not that the ice cream didn't taste good, but i feel like the toppings weren't distributed evenly.
cookie doughn't you want some!
but, you know what.. i'll still go back there! i still have to try the other flavors! the tim hortons that it's attached to is open 24 hours and that means the cold stone creamery is too! ice cream 24/7? sounds good to me! :D

ReplyDeleteIf only ice cream stores delivered. I'd just sign over my paycheck direct and buy bigger sweat pants. I could really use a tall cold one about now: rocky road and toasted almond.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. Looks really chic and pretty :) Aaaw I envy you. I could eat ice cream only like twice a year maybe or all those rare times cuz of throat problems. Waaah jealous much. Haha. BTW, it doesn't matter how often you drop by, I'm just glad you did girl! :)

It's so funny how we all talk about this hot weather. It's killing me. I feel at times I don't want to go outside and take pictures without burning up or sweating. You look great. I love simplicity of the colors.

ReplyDeleteI love that you're staying away from black during this heatwave. I always find myself gravitating towards it since it's such a reliable color but I'm trying to resist the temptation!
Ah! Cookie Dough! I always get that flavor from Cold Rock over here. Same concept. :)

I've been postponing my visit to Urban Behaviour to find those amazing shorts! Arrrgghh, I hope they still have them when I drop by this weekend *fingers crossed* By the way, are they sheer/see-through?:p
ReplyDeleteI've also tried Marble Slab. Too creamy for my liking and it's sooooo big I couldn't even finish it with the boyfriend :S I want to try the Timmies' ice cream. The location near my office sells them! Must drop by soon :)
