  • {DIY: video}

    The creative juices have been a flowin’ this week. Actually this is some creative overspill from yesterday’s photo-a-rama post. I’m not exactly sure what possessed me but I decided to play around with iMovie yesterday. As if design & photography wasn’t enough to tame my curiosity (read: boredom) now I need to explore moving pictures!…

  • {style: wanted this dress!}

    Do I ever like pretty & unique things. I came across this dress in my daily review sfgirlbay blog and my jaw dropped. I LOVE this dress. So much. So pretty. So unique. Such awesome colour combos. Now how do I make it mine? And more importantly, for less than $400.  (originally posted on Stirling Style)

  • {design: resolutions}

    Ah yes, that time of year where we start with a clean slate, optimistic for what’s ahead and set some goals to help us make things happen. For myself, I never actually sat down and wrote down my resolutions but I have a few biggies that I set for myself near the end of last…

  • {escape}

    To say my head is in the clouds would be an understatement. It’s basically anywhere but here these days. And as of this morning it’s here, in this glass room in the middle of a forest. Doesn’t this just look like the most peaceful place on earth? All I need is some good music and…

  • {design: trend alert pantone colour}

    It’s that time of year…Best of Lists and predictions for the upcoming year. Pantone just released the official colour of 2012. And the winner is……….Tangerine Tango!! I’m okay with this since I happen to love this colour. It’s also the shade of my favourite lipstick. Pantone definitely is an authority when it comes to colour as…

  • {style: vintage trailer dream job}

    You know the old question, what would you do for a living if making decent money wasn’t an issue? As in, what do you REALLY want to do for a living? Well I’ve thought about this many times and the answer changes, depending. I like change and I can’t see myself doing any one thing…

  • {30 days of beauty}

    Well I hope beauty doesn’t just disappear after 30 days…but that’s the name of the game at Shoppers Drug Mart right now. It’s been more like 6 months of beauty for me at work however. Without getting into details about, well the details, pulling off a big national program or campaign starts wayyyyyyyyyy before you…

    This made me smile. The 7 Rules to Understand Designers. It’s a little self-centric….but aren’t all artists? ;) (source)

  • {artist showcase: Jasmine Berakha}

    I was so overly inspired by one of my favourite blogs, Creature Comforts, today. So many beautiful images and art. It really sparked something in me. I was especially taken by this amazing embroidery art by Jasmine Berakha. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and I just love it! I wish she was on…

  • {photo style}

    For all the fashionista photographers out there, you no longer have to pick between fashion & function. Thanks to Kelly Moore you now have a ton of great options when it comes to carrying your camera around and looking good doing it. She was tired of carrying around an ugly, big black bag around and…

  • {Inspiration: Louis C.K}

    So I seem to be going through a little bit of a Spring slump. Nothing super serious but I’m having an itch for change and generally not super happy about life as is at the moment. It’s all Oprah’s fault. I’ve been watching the last 25 Oprah shows…and it’s killing me!! Way too much reflecting…

  • {artist showcase: Fernando Brizio}

    So this is a little crazy but so interesting, and of course pretty. Italian designer Fernando Brizio has come up with a creative solution for renewable clothing. His idea is to make a white dress with lots of little pockets that house uncapped markers. The markers bleed their ink, leaving a beautiful textile pattern. The…

  • {artist showcase: Klaus Ernflo & Christian Faur}

    Aristotle’s quote, the subject of this blog, can’t be any more true than with these beautiful artistic examples. They are quite amazing. I love things like puzzles or connect the dots or anything that is made up of multiple elements and organized in a way to create a larger element. Check out this first example…

  • {window shopper}

    Hope you are all tucked away safely in your home during this winter wonderland. Well there’s isn’t that much of the white stuff in Toronto so far but I’m sure I’ll be biting my tongue sooner than later. Ever dreamed about (ok well maybe just wondered) what it’s like in the Big Apple during the…

  • {style: looking good by Lauren Moffatt}

    Looks like I’m feeling the fashion these days. First the oh so hip & stylish Blake Lively and today the cool creations of Lauren Moffatt. Her fashion is described as ‘vintage chic’ which is bang on. And also probably the reason I love it so much. Well I don’t love every single piece…but almost every…
