I think it is finally time to face the fact that I just can't seem to keep up blog-wise. I forget, days go by, weeks go by, and still no updates. Plus, I kind of feel like my head is in the clouds right now. Summer has finally arrived and well, I just want to get outside! I hate to be a quitter, so I am not saying never again, but for the time being, I think I will use this space just for any major updates to my etsy shop.
Enjoy the summer lovers!

My house needs help. When it comes to clothing, it feels easy for me to throw it together and have things work. The look of my apartment however, is lacking, and I am trying to fix that right now. Lately I've been spending lots of time looking for new ideas for my place. I've decided to start with something fun and easy to change, like the art.
I bought this amazing kitten collage from my workplace, that's made from old Toronto classifieds, and am looking for other affordable art pieces. Top of my list right now is a print from Brandi Strickland. There are many that I like, but I have a feeling this print-Parachute, may be the one I choose.
I was doing a bit of shop maintenance yesterday, and thought to myself, you really have a lot of dresses right now. So many in fact, they are like, triple in number compared to the other categories. So, what is in order here? Why not a little sale! From now until Sunday June 7th, all dresses are buy one, get one 1/2 off!
Etsy is a little tricky in that I can't add a code so when you check out, you will just receive the discount. So here's what to do. Checkout two dresses on Etsy, but do not pay via Paypal, and I will send a revised invoice your way with the proper total. Easy! And who doesn't need a fun summer dress or two right now? It seems like the good weather is finally upon us now. YES!
well, hello there! summer is coming...I can feel it. I am getting more and more distracted by the idea of doing fun stuff instead of work stuff, which is exactly what happened this week. Monday morning I woke up at 6am!?!! (sorry to people who normally rise at this hour, but that is still night to me) to go on the group commute. It is bike month here in Toronto, and there is one (early) morning where many peeps meet up at Yonge and Bloor and basically take over the road for a ride down Yonge St to city hall. It was pretty cool to just be strolling down Yonge St on my bike with no need to worry about cars in my way. And it was followed by a pancake breakfast, which was nice too.
Same day, I also headed out of the city to hang with some friends and picnic & bike ride, which, honestly, is the perfect way to spend a Monday afternoon. So what are you doing with yourself on these most beautiful of days? Hopefully something super fun! See ya soon! xo
This is my second time around with the zipper bathing suit. The first time, I was 11, and me and my BFF totally wanted these. In fact, I do recall plans were made over lunch, or perhaps it was recess, to each get a suit in our favorite neon hue-and just to take it right over the top, the matching biker shorts with the neon stripe down the leg too. I remember thinking how cool it would be to wear the suit and the short together in an ultimate neon creation. Oh dear. Fashion crimes indeed! Who knew I would like them again. I've got a black one and also a neon orange(my fave!) in the shop right now. I think they would be super fun with denim mini on those hot summer nights. But you are going to have to find your own matching biker shorts.
Have you seen Nicole Ritchie's new accessory line, House of Harlow 1960? I have to admit I actually really like many pieces. Usually, when you hear about a celebrity line, there is always something inauthentic about it all. But in this case, I don't feel that. It's a slightly bohemian look, lots of gold and black, and some interesting headpieces too. But what I am really digging is this ring. And in a strange coincidence, I saw someone wearing this at the shop where I work on the weekend. I was thinking wow, that is a very cool ring. I was also thinking, Are you Jessi from The Aftershow?-because it really looked like her-but I didn't want to ask.
Lately, I've been a no jewelry wearing kind of girl. I think I am just bored with everything I have, so my collection has been staying put, resting in the yellow, apple shaped tin where I keep it all. But I have to say, the shoe jewelry by Litter SF is making me think twice. These pieces are hot! A statement for your shoe, I don't know what's better than that!
I think these are my favorite, the "Walk of Shame"
