eternal sunshine

how cute is this? now i have to plan, over the spring, how im going to look like this girl during the summer months. just the right amount of sea salt spray combined with the clocking of some serious hours in the sun should produce the most excellent beachy locks and the perfect amount of freckles. screw the man friend, i have bijoux.

bunny love

the real easter bunny likes smelly wool socks, pens with rubber grip, arugula, warm summer nights and playing with her kitten friend. i am obsessed with her.


happy easter! hope you all feasted well and enjoyed many a laugh with family and friends.

get out your dancing shoes

the weekend starts early once the weather warms, even if it is only 8 degrees. tonight is the start of the summer ragers. decadence. the only question is what shoes should i sport for 7 hours on the filthy, sweaty, dance floor?


i adore a person who appreciates color coding their wardrobe.

successful saturday, crippling sunday
excessive behavior and gut wrenching laughs, totally worth the headache

shelter from the storm

its hard to be in the city all the time. people are always on the go and have serious anxiety caused by fear of missing out syndrome. as a full fledged city girl i have had to find ways to cope with the rushed pace of urban life. when it seems like my life is being lived without me and that ive lost all notion as to what i am even doing, i need quiet. i have found the perfect antidote to this whirl wind feeling, a visit to an oasis. located smack dab in the middle of downtown toronto is allen gardens. this little piece of heaven is like a vacation in a greenhouse. i dont have a cottage, chalet or country home, but for me, this little haven is a place of calm and flowery delight.

passion for canadian fashion

this week i had the opportunity to volunteer at toronto fashion week. i was stationed in the runway room and had one of the most inspiring and exhilarating experiences just being able to help out and witness the creativity and effort that goes into making the event possible.

i was aware of a few canadian designers but being new to the fashion scene i wasnt completely in the know. let me tell you, canada has got some serious talent. the first show i saw was holt renfrew which was a cute conglomeration of all the canadian lines they carry such as greta constantine, todd lynn and even canada goose. next was izma, show casing the most fantastic of furs. a few thousand pelts were used in that show.

korhani, originally a rug company, showed an out of this world line. it was like a take back to some 70's acid trip, falling down the rabbit hole in alice in wonderland. the shan show just made me want to tan and not want to eat. i also was able to witness the denis gagnon runway collection which was just out of this world wild. fuschia knit fur sweaters and brilliant turquoise maxi skirts. creative genius but i dont think we will be seeing it hit the streets of toronto this fall.

the youngsters in the group were the ladies of chloƩ comme parris. they put on a great show and seriously how much do you need to accomplish before you are even 25. seriously, these sisters are making the rest of us look bad. i left the exhibition feeling revitalized and inspired all over again. i also have been on the stability ball and hitting the gym almost everyday since. so as fashion week comes to an end i remain content with my choice to become involved in this invigorating industry!

worst case scenario

you know when things just get off to a bad start and then they tumbleweed into the most disastrous situation? this lil note here just about sums up the worst of my travel experiences when i took my very first solo adventure to copenhagen. in the end my 4 months turned to 8 and i never wanted to come home, funny how things turn out. i wrote this email to a dear friend in a fit of jet-lagged delusion. enjoy.

so ill tell you a little story called the horror of my life in the past 48 hours. so i get to pearson around 4ish to get my flight at 6 30. get on the flight smooth sailing but im shitting my pants nervous so i dont sleep the entire 6 and a bit long flight. get to heathrow in london and its snowing. my flight is supposed to be at 9 20am. it gets cancelled from london to copenhagen and its utter chaos because so do hundreds of other peoples and we have to stand in a massive line where people keep on budding in and fucking shit up so i wait there for 4+ hours. then i rebook for 4 45pm. thats the next flight out. walk around the air port but im too pissed and tired to shop and then my bag breaks. my hermes bag. the strap snaps and im left carrying it around in double bagged duty free bags. then my 4 45 flight gets cancelled and i have to wait in another line 5+ hours later i get to the front they book me a hotel and im leaving the next day at 9 55am with a different airline. oh what fun you can have when it snows a couple inches in london. today bus to the airport get on my flight get to copenhagen anddddd my bags arent there. so then i go to meet my mentor shes the girl whos showing me around. shes great so fun and so helpful. what a change. so we do a bunch of things and then go to my place. its awful. my room isnt bad but my bed could barely fit a 10 year old. my room has big windows like you would imagine to have in an apartment in europe and a balcony. i might take up smoking just so i could sit out there and smoke. my bathroom is like the boys locker room shower but its the entire thing. there is no bottom to the shower so it just flows right through the bathroom to a drain on the floor. sweet deal. the living room is old but it fits all of us. the internet is fast and i have a cell already so i can talk to people once i meet them. i messaged my friend adam and i hope to hear from him soon. nick and i are going to get together sometime this week. its copenhagen fashion week here and i get the feeling that hes either pretty gay or pretty connected. either way i dont care he is being nice to me and i certainly could use someone to hang out with in this city. i have 4 roomates one is away traveling she is canadian. i havent met her yet but i feel like shes going to be a big hippie weirdo. judy is the mandarin girl from hong kong. no words necessary. paula is the hot brazilian and she seems nice. zauzanna but its said susan is the czech republic girl who is 22 and still has a full set of braces. she lent me a towel tho so i back her.

well that sums it up so far. tell me whats up with you?
