• Taking The Summer Off

  

  I have to say, this summer is one for the books. Truly one of the best. Certainly, the highlight of this summer was getting married and the enjoyment of planning our mini wedding. A “fun project”, as my Mom put it. And it’s true. I’ll always look back at planning our wedding as being a…

• Our Unofficial Engagement Shoot

  

  When we were finally able to see, hug and squeeze our families after not seeing them for months, we did all of the things. We caught up on life, we BBQ’ed every day, we sat under the moon in the backyard, we shared thoughts, ideas and plans, and during all this, an unplanned “engagement shoot”…

• Outdoor Therapy

  

  In yesterday’s post, I highlighted the beauty found indoors while nestled at home. Today I’m highlighting the soul-soothing benefits of the outdoors even (or, especially) during a pandemic, social unrest or straight up uncertainty about the future. Our condo does not have a balcony since we chose extra closet space and a kitchen pantry instead.…

• The Best Sunsets of My Life

  

  I haven’t seen a sunset in over a month. That’s 31 days of Spring without a sunset. For a lot of us right now, it’s an unusual new reality. Sunsets are a daily occurrence that some may take for granted, but not me. I’m that quintessential sucker for sunsets. Why? Because even though I’ve seen…

• The City Says Hello

  

  Public transit is the perfect place to observe a city’s human interaction, or in the case of Toronto, the lack of it. Being a daily commuter and active pedestrian, there is one particular thing I observe every single day in the city of Toronto, any time of the day: everyone is glued to their phones. Texting, scrolling, swiping, reading,…

• My New Vintage Shoes

  

  During a recent stroll on Queen West, I dropped by the retro Rockabilly fashion store Tatyana Boutique. The boudoir decor and the Andrews Sisters playing on the sound system sure did lure me into the store, but the jaw-dropping element was certainly the dresses and shoes. I could have spent hours in there trying on every item, including…
