remember when we used to play

Just for random's sake, after having this song in my head ALL DAY from Kill Bill, {it's been a stressful day...} I thought I'd also share a couple of sweet posters that I've had in my favourites for a while. I love when typography takes charge and the idea shines through! Awesome, non?

slow dance

It's a new week. Hope you all had a lovely weekend! After a very busy weekend myself, shooting an adorable wedding with Amanda, I am having a hard time jumping into monday. I woke up feeling amazing and rejuvinated, but as the day progresses and is a short week here in Ontario, I can't help but dream of the cottage days about to arrive on thursday. I'm counting down til I can spend endless hours in front of a fire and in the company of friends!

Oh yea, and the wedding we shot!{which was located in Haliburton, amongst the trees, on a beautiful lake no less...swoon} Stay tuned for a sneak peek of those photos this week. I can't wait to download them and share the memories I captured! And I'm pretty sure that location got me all in the cottage mode...

watching the time float away

As amazing and wonderful as life has been lately, it's also been super busy. What I wouldn't give to have some time off, drive up north and just sit on a dock and watch the sunrise...or the sunset. What decadence it would be to not know the time, to eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired and make some beautiful memories with friends. Next weekend is a long weekend here in Ontario, and I can't wait to pack up that car and head to Amanda's {& Justin's} cottage for a few days...pure sweetness.

ex marks the spot

I have lived in Toronto for over four years and still have never been to the Ex. But that all changed last night, when Nick's parents got us free passes. So we grabbed some of our peeps and headed on over, prepared to eat nothing but batter and have some good laughs. I haven't laughed so hard or smiled that much in a long time! {can you tell how happy I am by my ridiculous face I'm making in that photo? Oh dear...} I LOVED it! All the flashing lights, the ridiculously horrible music, the compulsion to run like an 8 year old high on sugar {Tiny Tom cinnamon sugar donuts to be exact}...it's all wonderful.

Also, one day I'd really love to pay to get in and take my trusty Nikon and just snap away and get some awesome photos. Super sweet!

look where it brought us

I am in awe as to how life can change so quickly and how it happens when you're least expecting it. How people can so easily jump in and out of your life, but how some remain steady throughout the years. How jobs can all of a sudden end, but another one lines up the next week, or teaches you patience and doesn't arrive for a year. So many different things happen and you can never plan for it. What an adventure this is!

I have been wanting to share some news with you for a little time now, but wanted to wait until I felt it right. Today, it is finally right! Earlier this year, I lost an important relationship in my life, and that was a big change. Since then, I have regained so much strength and such an excitement for what life can offer. With that said, last month, I got blindsided...but in the best way possible! A guy named Nick introduced himself at a friend's house. {on July 11th, his birthday no less!} We hit it off right away and we've been hangin' ever since. Still now I am just in this crazy daze of how someone can just enter your life, your paths just happen to cross when you're not looking, and how amazing it can be. Not only do Nick and I have regular every day, fun things in common, {he too, is a graphic designer} but in terms of morals and beliefs, we seriously hit it off. All of this is still new, but with every passing day I am reassured that this guy is gonna make some serious awesome in my life...and I hope I do the same for him!

Thanks for reading my lovelies!

cheers and well wishes

Lovelies! I apologize for the lack of posts lately. Let's just say some exciting personal things are happening in my life, and I've been crazy busy! It's the summer and inevitably you try and catch all the nice days to be outside, the weekends are filled with weddings and cold beers on patios. What a season, right? Today I'm off to a wedding of a good friend and her fiance. They've been dating for 12 years!!!! I can't wait to celebrate their big day with them, and all my friends.

Hope you all are having some sort of fun today too, and see you back here soon!

got your boots on

Happy Hipster Friday to you all! I'm just knocking best wishes over to you, while I slave here at the office. Can't wait to lock up some good times tonight, and hope you do too!

If you're wondering how I latched onto this hipster slang, check out The Hipster's Dictionary. Ha!

open ears and open eyes

Toe in toe with my concert buddy {hey Amanda!} we eagerly made our way through the VIP entrance last night of the Sound Academy to hear none other than Bon Iver live in concert. All I have to say is...EPIC. I love Bon Iver, but now have an even more profound respect for them. The ensemble of 9 {blasting their trumpets, drums, violins, keys and a whole lot more} hit every note and timing perfectly. It was pure genius.

strong hold

Everywhere I go I have been seeing anchors. Growing up with a seaside near by, I have always loved nautical things like old maps, ships, collecting seashells after the tide has gone out, and the idea of buried treasure. {who doesn't love a good pirate story?} I also love what an anchor symbolizes...stability, strength and the ability to withstand rolling waves and stormy seas...just plain awesome.
