for a man's world

Yup, this is a feature taken from GQ. Even though it's obviously skewed towards men, I can't help but love it! The lingerie is so elegant but has that kick ass edge with the sky-high heels and studs. I'm also such a sucker for anything Gossip Girl, and Leighton looks stunning. 

See more fab lingerie from the shoot here.

reflections of fall

A grey and rainy day outside today, all I can think about are the beginning days of fall. The days that were filled with saturated colours, breezy winds and tartan prints! Also with my birthday coming up, I can't help but reflect on days passed this year. Does anyone else do that? I have almost been blogging a year...unbelievable!

all over beauty

I just found my newest love! This canvas bag from Hickoree's Hard Goods is so my style – simple, clean and soft. I totally want to use it as a portfolio bag, to go along with my acrylic white portfolio. They would be the perfect pair!

counting to 10

I REALLY wanna go shopping for myself. I mean, look at that Miu Miu purse! However, I must resist the urge as Christmas is right around the corner, and I need to save my money. It's so difficult! I have to constantly count to 10 to resist the urge...NEW SHOES!! {d'oh, 10..9..8....}

pieces of me

Woops! I went MIA for a few days. Where did that time go? I took a much needed R&R this weekend while visiting friends and family. I have been so busy lately with getting my short and sweet blog up, mailing lists, business cards, potential clients etc., that I feel like there are pieces of me everywhere! Gotta put them back together this week, I have been so frazzled. {but it's totally worth it in the end} xoxo

just because

I wanted to post this picture purely because it makes me smile. It reminds me of a country house in mid-summer filled with memories and sunshine!

So please stay tuned!

morning joy

Last night the boy and I were having a little chat about coffee. I love my morning stop at Starbucks! That smell... that first sip... Heaven! He suggested I make coffee in the morning at home, then fill'er up and go. And even though that would save me quite a few bucks every month, I have a full-time job, and it's my morning joy! My day just doesn't feel the same without it. Is that wrong? Teehee...

must love fonts

I'm in LOVE! I just spotted this blogger, Jessica Hische, who is an illustrator & typographer. Her font buttermilk is now for sale and I can't wait to get my paws on it. It will be the perfect addition to my short & sweet paperie font collection. *swoon...

done in 60 minutes

Project 60 is one of the coolest ideas I've ever heard of! Kevin Gonsalves, previously in magazine publishing has turned freelance as a photographer, marketeer and blogger in the city, and this guy is seriously cool! Project 60 was his idea, to shoot 60 frames of a subject in 60 minutes. Such a good way to become a better photographer, or to see things from a different view. Check out his website here.

today's favourite colour Pantone 1525c

Today's favourite colour was inspired by these classic fall photos of Daria. Warm & luscious! I also love that red lip colour in the first shot, not too pink!
