{good eats: nutty pizza}
I love food & cooking. I’ve even taken a few semi-pro cooking classes but the truth is I don’t apply too much of it living solo. It’s so much more fun to cook with/for people. There’s nothing like walking into a kitchen that smells amazing. But every once and awhile I get in the mood…

{mermaid love}
I came across this photo the other day and it took my breath away a little. I was so attracted by the bold colours, the beautiful photography and just the whole magic of it I guess. I’ve also kinda had mermaids on the mind believe it or not. Not sure what that means?! This photo…

BEFORE & AFTER: curtain makeover
Get ready for a series of before & afters’s from my very own little corner of the world. When I moved into my loft over 4 years ago it was the ultimate bachelor pad and the colour palette on the walls was beige, dark green & maroon.(gross) There is no better motivation than hosting a…

{tape it up}
Who doesn’t love washi tape?! It’s like eye candy. How much did I love opening this package in the mail this week?! There’s nothing better than getting a package full of fun & colour. Because I couldn’t make up my mind on a few patterns (and couldn’t afford to buy a ton) I compromised and…

{thrifting 101: granny’s linen closet}
Photography is fun (obviously) but there’s lots of ways to make it a little more creative. On my thrifting trips I’m always on the look out for great patterns that will make fun backdrops for photos – either for product or people. I always take a peak at the linens and curtains and many thrift…

{say i do: perfection}
wow. This is the closest thing to wedding planning perfection that I’ve seen. I can’t even imagine what it would’ve been like to be a guest. My expectation would be that a wedding put on by someone who runs an amazing wedding website & blog (100 Layer Cake) would be pretty darn good. But this…

{redheads have more fun}
I’m loving the knock-out photos of Christina Hendricks in the May 2013 issue of Flare Canada. Wow! I love the styling in this spread. There’s so much colour inspiration, from her bold copper head of hair to the fashion to the backgrounds. This fabulous spread inspired me to do a little ode to redheads. No…
