It is safe to say I had one helluvah time in Mexico. The man friend and I needed a serious vacation away together, and we chose the sunny side of the world this time. Usually our trips surround the sights and sounds of busy streets and tall buildings, art, science and dinosaur bone-style museums, walking miles upon end and eating as the locals do – but this time we needed something totally different … we needed to disconnect. I needed to disconnect.

In any case, here in Canadaland, Mexico seems to have a stipulation – or rather, a (horribly wrong) preconceived notion about it’s country. Granted, crime is everywhere, and bad things happen to good people – but if you travel smart – you will be fine! Seriously.

My man friend and I stayed in the Mayan Riveria, it was picturesque with the food almost as delicious as the scenery. The grounds were perfect and lush, the sixteen pools were cool and calming, the drinks tasted like gummy bears and the sea, – well it was crystal clear.

As all things come to an end, I was happy to get back home to see Rudiger (squish face). I had no idea my heart could hurt so much and miss something so ridiculous! Upon my arrival it was great to spend time with family and friends, hit up one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever been to, be gifted thrifted and vintage treasures my mum found for me, and finish off with a little weekend DIY-ing.

I am pleased to say this coming long weekend will be filled with casual affairs. A better-late-than-never engagement party for one of my best friends, BBQ’s, fire pits, sparklers, DIY’s, garage sales, blog shoots, thrift shopping, casual reading and siestas! Sounds too good already, and it’s only Thursday!

happy [almost] Canada day!!

loving The Greenhornes, a guy at work has me hooked!

FIRST FROST

Oh. Hello Gorgeous! The weather here in Toronto, as you can see from this post – has been beautiful. There is a chill in the air, but it is nothing short of a crisp breath-of-fresh-air. I fell in love with this cozy knit sweater as soon as I stumbled upon it at the LF Store on 5th Ave in NYC, the sales girl convinced me to buy it – who am I to fight her off? Whilst in NYC I only got out once – and it was my second last day. I was pulling my hair out from being so busy – I needed a little “me” time and took to the streets with my camera and wallet. I did all my damage at LF. I didn’t even bother going anywhere else. The tuxedo back of this white knit is my ultimate favorite feature – I have been searching for the perfect knit and gasped when I found it. Definitely a new added staple. Welcome home sweater.

These days though, I have been channeling my inner nerd – work is beyond insane, BNO is fabulously insane, and my Tortuous and Blonde glasses happened to arrive just-in-time to perfect, the very [insane] nerd-esq look. – I couldn’t help but mix textures in this outfit though, the massive [8ft] angora scarf, the polka-dot razor back, the ultimate teal JBrand coated pants and the velvety hunter wedges tops it all off. AH, alas – this is such a Sunday staple for me, even on a Sunday, heels are on my feet.

Other than the above rambles – there isn’t much of an update on my end, work, design, work, rudiger, wine! I hope you all enjoy this upcoming weekend and get some much needed me time in, and don’t forget to snuggle your little Rudiger!
