Last night I went to bed sad. The world lost a visionary. A do-er. A creative genius. All too soon. We found out while we were out having a fun dinner at Guu to celebrate my 29th birthday; I slipped away to the restroom and my husband checked his iPhone. An email from his dad
Whoa, I’m writing this after I finished the rest of the post. Get ready folks – this is a long one! But an exciting one too! And it is full of lists. You know how I feel about lists! I turn 29 today. I can’t really believe it. I seems like just yesterday I was
I’ve been out of the loop for awhile. A bad bout with the flu, 2012 wedding enquiries and consults coming out my ears (yay!), a full time job, wediting, and thinking and drafting a thoughtful note to be read out at my grandparents’ 60th anniversary party on the weekend has left not a lot of
This photo was taken on November 15, 2008 in Japan. As I’ve mentioned before, we loved Japan. We loved it a lot. Among all the other things Japan has going for it, it is a country that takes its vending machines seriously. What’s not to love about that?
I have been on an Oh She Glows recipe pulling spree for the last several days. Of course, I’m pinning all of them. In the last couple of weeks, every time Anglea has tweeted a recipe, it’s pretty much been exactly what I have been craving. For instance, I’ve been on a bit of a
This picture was taken on February 8, 2009 Valparaiso, Chile. Yet another one for you animal lovers out there. Or for you lovers of turquoise. If you love both, well, you are in luck… this is your kinda picture!
I found the cutest business outfit on pinterest yesterday … right here. I fell madly in love with it, so decided to make my own version from things I owned in my own closet. How did I do? (PS – I fixed my white cuffs of my shirt – too much showing!)
I love the ever changing Etsy homepage. Most days it makes me swoon (not that I check out Etsy every day or anything). It is always a carefully curated collection of complementary items. (I should win an alliteration award.) Side note: I’ve always been fond of the word “alliteration” because it is sort of like
This photo was taken on September 11, 2008 at Dune 45 in Namibia. It is, in fact, Dune 45. Sand dunes are my favorite natural formation. Asking people “what’s your favorite natural formation?” was a big part of our (ok, “my”) life while we were traveling. It’s a somewhat surprising question, but once people take
This picture was taken on September 9, 2001, meaning it is almost exactly 10 years old. These girls were my “crew” throughout my undergrad degree at the University of Alberta, and they remain some of my closest friends to this day. Of course, since we’re girls, we’ve had our share of “oh my god, I
This photo was taken on December 2, 2008 at Bondi Beach in Australia. I thought long and hard about posting a nice, but probably more boring, picture of the opera house or something, but I couldn’t resist this one. All the credit for the neat composition goes to the hubs for this image.
On Sundays, the North Market at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto is host to a weekly antique market. There are lots of expensive antiques, but if you dig and dig there are lots of deals to be had! Today I got some of the best. deals. ever. Period. (Ok, well, maybe not compared to
You all know just how much I love pinterest, right? I love it a lot. With my heart and my soul. My favourite thing to do on weekend mornings is to grab a piping hot cup of coffee and pin away. The only thing wrong with pinterest is that I’m too inspired. I want to
I’ve spent a big part of today working on my “home” on the web! As you probably know, I’ve got this personal blog, I’m a wedding photographer and have a blog / site for that, and I have a (for the moment inactive) travel blog (that I have also just updated). I was feeling somewhat
Remember in March when I told you all about out super cool wedding invites, and then I told you I would talk about all sorts of fun wedding stuff? Well, here you go, more fun wedding stuff! (Because our wedding was the best wedding ever. For reals yo.) Today I’m going to talk to you
