This is a first of hopefully more vintage style posts coming your way. As you may have picked up if you follow along, I have a love for almost all things vintage. I’ve always been drawn to those people with great vintage style and didn’t realize that one day I would have a closet full…

GOOD EATS: homemade pesto
I know it’s fall but I had to squeeze in this pesto recipe. I had a big basil plant on my patio and I thought it was just a shame to let it go as the weather is getting more chilly. So I gathered up my basil and set to making some homemade pesto. I…

{SPACES: a pop of yellow}
I know it’s fall and everything but it’s the colour yellow that’s got me feeling all warm and fuzzy this morning. There’s something so fresh about a pop of yellow in a space. It can be youthful but also classic. It can be fun & quirky or slick & modern. Even people who are not…

BlogPodium 2013 Part 1: Tea with Sarah Richardson
So remember that ‘dream room’ moodboard I put together awhile back for a contest ran by BlogPodium to meet Sarah Richardson? Well it looks like Sarah also shares my dream and I was chosen as one of the winners to have tea with her at her design studio. I’ve been watching Sarah on TV for…

{ STYLE : fall favourites from Orly Kiely }
oh wow, am I ever loving Orly Kiely’s Autumn/Winter collection. I don’t think I could’ve designed a line that was more me if I tried. Love the playful feminine style, patterns, and especially the colour palette.

{SPACES: hanging around}
Here I am day dreaming about my imaginary home again. Well this time my day dream isn’t totally unrealistic. I love my loft but one drawback of living in one big room is that you kinda have to stick with one look and everything has to work together. Awhile back I posted about how great…

{thrifting 101: centrepiece of old treasures}
I love when treasures of past come together with new treasures to make a complete look. I found this amazing vintage milk bottle carrier at a garage sale (!) during a cottage weekend. I admit, they aren’t very common to come by outside of antique shops or online but if you’re loving this look, it…

{artist showcase: Fabienne Rivory}
How much do you love these pieces from Paris-based artist Fabienne Rivory? This is her 2013 collection named Miroir. The simplicity of the black & white reflective photos with the perfectly-places yet free flowing pops of watercolour are beautiful. Do you think if I moved to Paris I could make art this lovely? You can have…
