How pretty are these crepes using edible flowers?These sad yet beautiful abandoned places are stirring up my wanderlust.Oh my, it may be fall but it can be forever spring with this totally awesome wallpaper via PoppyTalk. You think your place … [Read more...]

{PLACES: a day in Almonte }

October 7, 2013 by TheSweetEscape 2 Comments

  Oh Monday. I know it's kinda a gloomy rainy day but I think it makes it that much easier to just buckle down and get things done & organized for the week. You don't feel so guilty about not taking a walk at lunch and can finally wear those cute rain boots you told yourself you just must have.  What did you get up to for the weekend? With my new flexible schedule I took the … [Read more...]

{SPACES: a dream home in Brazil}

August 9, 2013 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

Warning! This home is going to stop you in your tracks so make sure you're not multi-tasking. This stunning space is actually a secondary vacation home to someone living the dream in Brazil. Its design blends in beautifully with its scenic surroundings which helps to camouflage it's size & scale. Inside it's almost all open and full of wood and windows to bring the outside in and vice versa. I'm a … [Read more...]

Local Love: Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market

July 31, 2013 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

I live in the vibrant and diverse neighbourhood of Toronto known as Kensington Market. I moved here almost 5 years ago and still love it. For those visiting Toronto it's hard to describe the 'hood in few words. It has an interesting history with roots as a Jewish market, slowly turning into more of a hub for Portuguese immigrants and today is diverse with influences from all over the world. You … [Read more...]

{artist showcase: a photographer & his gal travel the world}

July 29, 2013 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

Warning! Case of wanderlust may be a symptom of viewing this post. I came across this great Instagram photo series by Russian photographer Murad Osmann. Murad took a picture of himself being led by his girlfriend while traveling around the world. What a unique way to add a human element to travel photos. It doesn't hurt that his girlfriend happens to be incredibly attractive. Can you tell where … [Read more...]

{san francisco part 1: in pictures}

July 23, 2013 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

If you're following me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram you would know that I've been in San Francisco since last Wednesday (arrived home this morning on the redeye...yikes). I went for the Alt Design Summit, which was so great! In fact it was so great that I need a little more time to put together a post to share it all with you. So the conference kicked off Wednesday evening and went all day … [Read more...]

{artsy souvenirs}

May 6, 2013 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

One of the sweetest escapes in the world is, well, exploring the world.Aside from photos and memories of course, my favourite souvenirs from my trips are artistic ones. Having a creative memento in my home from a trip is such a great way to take me back to that place. My latest adventure was a trip to Vietnam in January. Boy did it ever live up to it's reputation as a beautiful country. You can … [Read more...]

{places: Chicago}

March 11, 2013 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

Last weekend I went to visit a friend in Chicago. It was my first time in the Windy City. I've heard tons of amazing things about Chicago and was happy to go. I would love to go back with ALL of my friends and do everything there is to do. I might need to look into a chicago coach bus company to get about because it would be much easier than all of us trying to get the train. The funny thing is … [Read more...]

{travel: beautiful vietnam}

February 19, 2013 by TheSweetEscape 1 Comment

Traveling is amazing. It opens your eyes to other parts of the world and let's you see how others live. It's filled with highs and lows and always challenges you. It helps you grow and your experiences become part of you. This is just a taste of what Vietnam gave me. Thank you! … [Read more...]

{say cheese}

July 19, 2012 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

It's so funny how it seems that we're actually traveling back in time. Who would've thought that I would be dying to get my hands on this new Polaroid Instant Digital Camera. I love my ol' school Polaroid but this is pretty cool. It's basically a super mini printer and camera in one. Welcome to the world of instant gratification. I guess some things haven't really changed. Hang on tight because … [Read more...]

{travel: time for a long break}

February 18, 2012 by TheSweetEscape Leave a Comment

I've been a little M.I.A. I admit, I've been a little under-inspired but mostly I've been trying to 'figure things out'. Whatever that means. All I figured out is that I need a break...to well figure things out. ha. So I managed to convince my boss (who I am very grateful for) to give me a 2 month break from work. I'm going to do a little internal and external exploring during this break and it's … [Read more...]
