I'm  SUPAH-pumped, and would love it if you could join us either in the live studio audience (if tickets are still available, that is!), or from the comfort of your own home. Until then, the small matter of choosing what to wear... Yikes!   Follow me on Twitter! Subscribe to the Canadian Living Home & Garden blog!
