It seems like IKAT is everywhere these days. Fashion houses start it…and then eventually it weeds it’s way into home decor and everyday fashion brands. Accessories are usually the last, as they jump on the fact that there is this evident trend going on. I have always loved it, and love certain patterns of it as it can definitely can be overdone. Some of my clients really don’t like it though- they think it is too trendy.
Happy Tuesday lovelies!

So I have had those Converse for maybe at least 5 years. When all the hype was about wearing Chucks. I barely wore them, gave them to my sister, and then I thought, because of fashionista’s on Pinterest.. I might as well give em a try again.
This was what I wore to sweet talk the Apple or Rogers guy into a) giving me a new phone b) fixing mine for free.
Fixed my phone, and didn’t need a new one, unfortunately…
Maybe next time…as my “usual” Apple guy was no where to be found (he’s the one who always gives me free stuff and fixes my computer).
Little did I know I was wearing every single thing Zara..until now. Hahaha.
Happy Thursday lovelies!

So I did it. I bit the bullet. Pulled the trigger. Saved like there was no tomorrow…and got them. And let me tell you.
I L O V E T H E M.
Almost so much that it would seem pathetic. I mean they are shoes right. Just shoes. Shoes with a killer heel, an amazing cut out by the toes, a colour I can wear almost everyday, and that red. Oh my that perfect shade of RED.
Do they hurt your feet. Of course- when I wear them for an entire night. But so do my $20 shoes, and they hurt so much more. I love how my feet look in them, how slender my legs look. Ok maybe this is a love love relationship with my shoes – I know I’ll stop.
But so I wore them to the wedding we went to, and then this outfit to a bridal shower yesterday. With the sister’s brand spanking new Zara dress which is now sold out- yes-Great purchase!
Now onto bigger things…should I get them in black? Just kidding…I may wait a bit. But man, hot shoes can seriously make a girl feel special.
Happy Monday!
I love weddings. I love the idea of having a day to share in someones love, to watch real men cry, to watch pieces of art that are wedding gowns parade down that aisle. I love eating great food, getting to drink as much as you want, and party like there is no tomorrow. I love having an event to go to, with someone/people I love and share a great night out with almost no care in the world.
I am not the girl who has her wedding planned. Nor am I the girl who has “dreamed” about this day her whole life.
I am just the girl who loves going to beautiful events. The girl who knows pretty much exactly what she wants about everything.
I am the girl who knows exactly which song she would love to dance to with her guy- this one. Which photographer she wants – this one. Who she wants to write signs like the ones above - this one. The girl who knows most definitely that she will have peonies at her wedding- a family sentiment. Who also maybe has made an entire board of gorgeous weddings she loves, and would love to have eventually.
I know what I want…for that day…when it comes. Don’t worry, you will know…
But I have always loved weddings..and cannot wait for this weekend when the bf and I attend a seriously awesome black tie affair- may have gotten a kick-ass dress in coral, and spoiled myself with my first pair of Louboutin heels- in nude. It is gonna be a James Bond kind of night-eeeeek!
Happy Thursday lovelies!
There are days where I get magazines which I cannot wait to open up…yesterday was one of those days. The days where new J Crew/Anthropologie catalogues come in the mail.
I love the styling, the patterns, the jewels. I pretty much usually want just about everything in there…or at least I try to convince myself that I do totallymostdefinitelyabsolutely need another bracelet/pair of jeans/chambray shirt/bikini/candle.
I may have bought some pretty things (here & here) without even using their SPRINGBEST coupon for 25% off – lucky me it came out the day after I purchased!
GO and get their loot peeps – they have some seriously great stuff!
Happy Wednesday!

Yesterday was sister day. Since the sister has been busy working away at school, we barely get to go out and spend a day just us girls. So yesterday was that day because she is leaving to visit the fams in AZ tomorrow.
We spent the day getting our nails done, lunch, errands, shopping (maybe too much shopping)…and just hanging out! It was fun and long overdue. I miss having her around with me, being my little design assistant. She’s the best. I just need to remember to get her on a day of plenty of sleep, feed her, make sure she doesn’t exhaust herself too much..and well feed/water her – then we are good to go!
Funny how she’s like this and so is the bf..one in the same..lucky me I guess!
Happy Tuesday lovelies!
Hey everyone, so remember when I mentioned that there would be big events. It seems like 2013 is our year huh!
Maya being preggers, Nest getting their first ever Muskoka cottage, and now….
…no not engaged…
I am starting a new company, an Event Design one. Teaming up with Steamwhistle Brewery- my friend Dana- I will now cater to birthday parties, baby showers, open houses, dinner parties, weddings…you name it!
I decided to call it Toast, because I wanted it to be about celebrations. Nothing specific to the style of party, but something everyone can relate to, like Nest.
After hosting Maya’s baby shower, I contacted Prairie Girl Bakery here in Toronto…and now they are using some of my pics on their FB page, and in their marketing – yay!
Here is a sneak peak of the images the sister and I took for the website – some of them we are not using, and some of them are “action/candid shots”.
Hope you like!
Making sure everything is centered!
Trying out new poses – yes me sitting on a table.
Being asked to adjust things by my “photographer” aka my sister.
Getting tired by the end, so maybe some sitting pics would be great?

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of outfit posts! With the bf studying away, that means less times out and less opportunities for outfit pics! Plus the sister and the mama have been also pretty busy to take pictures, not to mention the lack of light we get at this time of year.
I bought this scarf and those pants at the same time, and my goodness have they been on repeat. Stretchy pants are my fave…they let me to eat as much as I want!
Happy Monday lovelies!
