Light Bright

Back from my vacation and feeling blue about it. What better way to cheer you up than bright colours. The mercury is hitting 43 with humidity, stay cool and drink water.

Getting ready

Getting ready to leave for Tulum Mexico on Saturday. In my opinion a well deserved vacation after a long hard move a little R&R is just what we need. It's our first trip with 2 other couples and we are so looking forward to it. I stuffed everything in my suitcase and drum roll please....no room for shoes or toiletries! Hopefully my husband doesn't plan on bringing too much in his...

In total I have 3 hats, 4 bikini tops, 6 bottoms, 7 evening outfits, 3 pair of jean shorts, tones of t-shirts and camis, 2 maki dresses, 3 skirts, 2 pairs of sunglasses, 2 pairs of heels, 1 pair of sandals, 1 pair of flip flops....ouch!

I promise to make the effort of taking outfit pictures...maybe it will be my initiation to it! Stay tuned for my airport look

Royal Flush

Kate Middleton arrived in Ottawa in style wearing none other than on of our very own talented Canadian designer, Erdem! I was hoping she would step out in any Canadian designer, but I was crossing my finger Erdem would make the list. I am a big fan and follower of his work. He use of bold print and colours on classic yet modern cuts. I wish I could afford his designs! Congrats to the designer and his team!

Trending - Animal Kingdom

Research is what i love to do. I have infinite amount of images - to a point where I don't now how to categorize them. Too many hours spent surfing tumblrs and blogs. I decided I should start a "now trending" segment on my blog.

The first edition is Animal Kingdom. I think this trend is be sub category to "Heritage" trend we've been seeing for FW11. Back to the outdoors, practical and classic design adaptable from the cottage to the city. I think this might be very present in the editorial world.

This animal lover trend started with Cats. We saw them everywhere! For Fall/Winter11 We are now moving to larger felines like wolves and foxes even lions, through in some horses and birds and you've hot an animal kingdom like you've seen it before.

stack it - use it

I have been unpacking for the last few days - and I find myself in the "small space too many things" situation. I love keeping old magazines - even thought I might not find myself referring back to them, I just loooove them. So If you are planning on keeping them, put them to go use.

Little touches

The big move has happened and is will be on going for a little bit more. It's a long journey to move into your first home. For some reason, I didn't feel the same pressure moving into our apartment as I do now with our condo. All the furniture is in and although we are missing a few pieces I can't wait to make it feel like our home. I know it takes time, but what makes a house feel like a home are little touches and attention to details. Place a bowl on your nightstand to empty your pockets at night, use trays to store your jewelry and makeup, pretty candles or lamps to glam up a room, add pillow and throw blankets to beds and chairs to warm it up.

Show Off

There is nothing like buying an expensive and luxurious item and walking out of the store with that coveted bag. Or unwrapping a gift to find that beautiful designer box. If you are anything like me - you keep those bags and boxes. Other than accumulating dust in your closet why not create some art out of it! Stack them or frame them, take it out of there and show it off
