Found this adorable ring on sale at BCBG and it had my name on it, well, almost. It’s funny how sometimes two negatives of I don’t like gold and not a ring person add up to completely in love with it. Usually, I can talk myself out of buying pretty much anything, but there are those rare occasions when no reason would stand. Doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, I fall completely in love with whatever it is and it lasts. I totally blame my emotional attachment to pretty things on being a Taurus.

A few weeks ago we pulled our creative strings and gathered for Butter Avenue’s ‘Spring Engagement’ themed photoshoot. We wanted it to be soft and elegant but with a bit of a twist, and the library was a perfect location. My fascination with libraries, their character and grand architecture runs deep. I’d love to have an engagement party among old books, study desks, and leather couches – a perfect dose of elegance and nerdiness. A huge thanks goes out to everyone who helped organize this shoot, and especially to our gorgeous models! A special thanks to Eri Inamasu for make up and hair, and Secret Jewel for providing all the pretty ‘bling’. Can’t express how excited I am about the soon to be opened Butter Avenue pâtisserie & café. It will be a fabulous space for all these delicious macaron’s and pastries, and I can’t wait to have a cup of tea with my favourite Earl Grey macaron there.

The day all the jewellery arrived at my door, I turned into a giddy little girl playing dress up. Triple silver bracelets on one arm, crystal on the other, plaid shirt and stripy PJs, my styling was impeccable! But seriously, this was one fun project to photograph! I got my favourite macro lens out, waited for good light, and shot details. What more could I have asked for? It was perfect! The ladies from Secret Jewel are making their catalogs and new website, and I was more than happy to help with photography. Their site with all these gorgeous jewellery pieces will be up and running shortly, in the meantime you can check my Facebook for more photos. And if we’re not friends on Facebook, why aren’t we?

If I had a split personality that’s what she would wear to the beach. Completely impractical but totally fabulous, relaxed, yet fashionable. I’ll stick with shorts and plaid, sunglasses and definitely flip flops or gladiator sandals, ’cause all I can think of is ‘sand everywhere.’ Love the ocean-blue colours, whites and golds. That water bottle is actually glass – no throw away plastics, especially at the beach. Can’t wait for the heat of the summer and beach volleyball!

Nothing inspires me more than seeing good fashion on the streets of the world’s trendiest city. I caught myself staring at passersby shoes in a not so subtle manner a few times. Was standing in awe on 5th avenue watching beautiful women in beautiful clothes. Yes, I’m just that ‘classy’ and not creepy at all. Since NYC is still a bit grey and on the colder side, I thought the more neutral tones would suite it best. Tall sexy shoes, new twist on the trench coat, long tank dress and bold jewellery with a great bag would suit me just fine for an afternoon stroll through designer stores.

This sunny warm weather puts me in a fantastic mood, and I’m loving the colour. I think I’m over compensating for the lack of leaves, grass, and pretty flowers, but hey, a girl got to get her colour someplace! I also looooove window shopping, or in this case internet browsing, looking for nice things and imagining myself riding on that vespa wearing Club Monaco outfit with some awesome shoes and accessories! Man, that would be super bright! I’ll go take my happy, bouncy self outside to soak in some sun while it still lasts. Toodles Internet! Enjoy this awesome spring!

After a little flirt with bright, glittery colours, and soft, girly things I’m back to black, back to what I know and love. Strong, classy, and slightly gadgety is what I’m in the mood for. Manly watches, Mac keys for rings, black nail polish, hot shoes, even hotter dresses, it’s all business from now on.

To start off the year fresh, I thought that recycled newspaper projects seem like a good idea. You know, make something new out of old? I adore the prints being made on the newspaper backgrounds. Very original and are always fun! Found a myriad of other interesting pieces that are sure to be conversation starters. Apparently designers still use newspaper print as inspiration and you can have that tote bag for $400. Go figure!

With all the Holiday parties, thought that a girl could use some colour and bling to brighten up these grey, snowy days. This one is for Hanna, she mentioned how she loves fuchsia and gold combinations, so I did my version of it. It’s way too many accessories for a single occasion, so I’d either go with the 7,4,11 or 10,2,8,5 combo. Can’t say that I have anything this bold in my closet, but who knows, maybe for this new year! Hanna I hope you approve! Happy ‘first day of winter’ everyone!

I blame it on the weather! It makes me appreciate all things warm, cuddly, and for some reason white. All of these pretty finds are definitely not Canada proof, but I so wish that they were. I think that blanket, hot tea, and watching cold sunrise from a frosted window would be perfect.
