How y'all doin?

Tuesday, April 22, 2014


Since the polar vortex rolled in many months ago, I've been a little quiet on the blog side. I've actually been a bit quite on the life side (my Netflix account can attest to this). But, here we are. Late April and almost spring-like weather.

It may be spring in Toronto, but it's practically summer in Nashville. I made the yearly trek down south to see some family, explore and try on more Warby Parker glasses (how many glasses is too many glasses?).

We spent the day walking around Nashville. Southern food, fresh ice cream, and John Oates (of Hall & Oates) for Record Story Day.

A perfect Saturday.




Postcards from NYC

What does a 2 day getaway in NYC look like? A little something like this...

 

NYC, we miss you already.



Blogger Fashion Week with Trend Trunk

Wednesday, December 11, 2013



It’s been a bit of a whirl wind week so far. I landed back in Toronto from a weekend away in NYC and am now getting back on top of work, life, and all that good stuff.




But today, Dec 11th (a few days before my birthday) is an exciting day for me! I am part of Blogger Fashion Week with Trend Trunk. If you haven’t heard of the company, it’s an online place to sell the clothes you no longer wear (and they do all the good stuff like sort out the price of shipping for you). 

Extra room in your closet, a few bucks in your bank account and the opportunity to score some really great deals—And they’re based in Canada. Pretty great right?

I’ve got a closet set up, which you can check out here.

Clothing fit for winter-time activities

Monday, December 2, 2013

We've only had 1 snow (and that didn't even last), but I've been thinking about my winter wardrobe this week. I've been wearing my favourite 1970's parka, but sometimes you need more of a laid back look. 

On my winter-time wish list:


A journey through 852 Instagrams

Monday, November 25, 2013




852 images that prove we're basically all taking the same Instagrams, of the same things, quite possibly at the time. But set to The Black Keys and beautifully produced.

West coast, best coast

Friday, September 20, 2013

In the last few months I've found myself on the west coast twice. Once on a trip up the coast from LA to San Fransisco and most recently on a trip from Vancouver to Victoria to Tofino (a place I find hard to believe is actually in Canada).

So you can just quickly scan the photos, here's the recap of the adventure: Vancouver was full of new friends. MS had recently moved there and had a bunch of friends over for the long weekend. As you can imagine, there was clothing and product covering all open spaces in the 1 bedroom apartment. It didn't help that on 2 separate occasions we all went to the Aritzia Warehouse sale where I landed some amazing clothes at unreal prices. A $175 dress for $35. J Brand jeans for $30. I was in clothing heaven. I spent a lot of time wandering the city, renting a bicycle to cycle the entire outskirts of Stanley Park (highly recommended), eating delicious food and catching up with The Stunt Man over $5 caesars.

I landed up taking the ferry to Victoria to see DI (great friend and former Uni roommate) and explore Victoria, BC. Truthfully, I knew very little about the city. I walked a lot, ate some pretty good food, drank too much coffee and landed up using my umbrella just about as much as I thought I would. They were not lying when they said it rains a lot in the west.

The last stop of my adventure was a quick roadtrip to Tofino. I'm in love. Tonfio is Canada's heaven on earth. Beachy, adorable, not much to do. The good life. DI and I both purchased books from the local book store. I picked up The Wolf of Wall Street (soon to be a movie). It's wild. We didn't end up surfing, but did manage an afternoon beachside. And we went camping. In a tent.

Then, all the sudden it was an entire week and a few days later and we were driving back to the airport at 5:30am. A wonderful adventure. Now I understand: West coast, best coast. So, without hesitation:

Vancouver

Finds from the Aritzia Warehouse sale
There was about 500 of these racks full of clothing.

Victoria, BC

My dining view from Red Fish, Blue fish. One of the best spots on the trip!

A solo lunch adventure 

Tofino
Super healthy road trip food!
 This was about 2.5 hours into the drive, also the 14th time listening to Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools The "look out" point.

Best coast may just be the west coast.



Art + Beer. Collective Art Brewing.

Thursday, September 12, 2013

I've been lucky this week landing some pretty sweet tickets! First TIFF and then guest list to the Arts Collective Brewery launch.

My workplace had space on the guest list and a few of us jumped at the opportunity to go. Free beer + food + live entertainment. Will that ever get old?

We arrived shortly after 9, had 2 beers (ok, I had a sip of 2 different beers plus 2 glasses of water... beer has never really been my thing) and watched the live band. The room was full of super hip Queen W folk. I opted to rock my new Aritzia dress (see the picture of me below) and a great necklace I picked up last time I was in Kentucky! Wear what you want, I say!

The evening was pretty great-- a showcase of artists and beer. Or, in their words, a "grassroots beer company fusing the craft of brewing with the inspired talents of emerging and seasoned artists, musicians, poets, photographers & filmmakers." Neat, right?

A few snaps into the evening:
 
Live band!
The Gladstone hotel.
EA found his bottle on the wall
Me + beer
 I wonder what event is next?
