I’m becoming a palette fiend! And, in the palettes I’m making myself, it’s more of a Japanese-themed palette fiend. Today’s palette comes from an awesome vintage wallpaper by Maraid Design. I’m loving the combo of the cream, red, pink and deep blue. Remember last week when I said you could use these palettes for anything,

One of the things that we miss in Buenos Aires is good Mexican food. This little factoid usually surprises most of our friends. Maybe it’s the general Argentine aversion to spicy food, maybe its the distance from Mexico, or maybe its something entirely different, but there just isn’t a lot of Mexican food around. There
I’m back with Travel Tuesday this week friends! I’ve got so many non-restaurant related posts all bundled up inside me that I’m just about bursting at the seams! So first – thank you – for being patient well I show off my sweet restaurant review skills to Tourism Richmond (hi, guys!) And before I leave
Several weeks ago, I decided to sign up for the 7km UNICEF Carrera Por La Educacion that happened yesterday in Buenos Aires. Something about having a race on the horizon helps keep me on track. It was probably the best thing I could have done on a Sunday morning. This race, more than almost anything
I’m so excited to have you here! I imagine you’ve been through lots of blogs recently (and have lots more to visit). So, to save you some time, here is a list of posts I think you’ll be particularly interested in. Enjoy! Travel: Antarctica (Day 4): Where I play with wild baby penguins Barcelona: A
Last week, I learned from some photography clients that Ballet Folklorico of Argentina was putting on a free show at the Tetatro Nacional Cervantes, a beautiful old theatre in Tribunales. That’s the thing I love about Buenos Aires – there is always something amazing (and usually free or really cheap) to do. The show was
Something unique to Buenos Aires is the sheer number of restaurants that offer delivery. From cafes, to local hangouts, to dining establishments – thousands of restaurants in the city will deliver. Before arriving in BA, I heard about a service called Buenos Aires Delivery, basically an online aggregator of over 300 restaurants. Sound awesome? It
A friend arrive on Monday to spend a week with us in BA. So, to celebrate his arrival, we wanted to take him to a local parilla I had been hearing about. Unfortunately, ever the BA neophyte, I failed to check and see if it was open on Mondays. And alas, it wasn’t. Now, as
The food blogger community is abuzz with Tourism Richmond’s recent announcement of the 365 Days of Dining Competition. And for good reason, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who loves food, loves to blog, and loves to explore. Hmm… sound like anyone you guys know? Possibly moi? Several people have encouraged me to
Feliz quinto del mes, amigos! Happy fifth of the month, friends! And, you know what the fifth of the month means… 30-before-30 update time! Before we get started, I want to mention a couple of things: my friend Melissa (West Coast Nest) is turning 30 at the end of this month. She’s got a 30-before-30
Two of my wedding clients last summer had some of the coolest stationary I’ve ever seen. The bride and groom were moving to Paris shortly after the wedding, so they wanted to include some French charm in their decor. The bride designed all the printed material herself (she’s a fashion designer with insane visual design
Is there a little voice in the back of your head telling you that you want to be a photographer? I hear you. I had that too! I first heard the little voice when my friends’ wedding pictures were like nothing I’d ever seen before. So artistic. So creative. So … awesome. . A year
I’ve seen colour palettes all over the internet recently (primarily on Pugly Pixel and all over Pinterest), but I never really understood what inspired someone to put one together. That all changed when I came across this beautiful image! As soon as I saw it, I thought “I have to make a palette”. Perfect for
Guess what, everybody? It’s a leap year! It’s not every year you can post something to the internet on February 29! So here I go. And my chosen topic? Leap years. (Surprised?) I think leap years are king of neat. My childhood friend Adam, who I haven’t spoken to – or thought about much –
San Telmo on Sundays is packed full of antiques, tourists and locals. But weekdays. Weekdays are special. Quiet streets. Locals in bars. And sparsely attended afternoon-long happy hours and tango shows in the Plaza Dorrego. Later today, I’m going to do a Foto Ruta in San Telmo. I quite excited, and hope I love it,
