I had the pleasure of photographing Blossom Lounge's spring lookbook a few weeks ago. I honestly believe the secret to a successful shoot is having like minded people on set with you. Everyone at Blossom Lounge is so kind, generous and thoughtful. Just really great people. They are always such a pleasure to work with & I can't wait till I can show you more from this shoot!

A few weeks ago I left work the usual time and walked to my car the usual way. It had been a really busy few weeks. I was feeling drained, uninspired and all around to pick a word...'blah'. As I walked to my car feeling deflated I noticed the trees were beginning to bloom and then I simply looked up. It took me by surprise just how breathtaking the sky and trees looked. Right there in the middle of the city huge trees cascading over each other. I had my camera with me so I took some photos to remind myself...life gets busy, the weeks fly by in what feels like a second, it's important we remember to stop and simply "look up" from time to time so we don't miss the good stuff.

Send you all lots of love today! Slow down and enjoy! xo

Happy Hump Day!

Yesterday marked the first day of spring! (hooray) We've been blessed with some pretty fantastic weather this week in Toronto, felt good to chuck the winter coat, boots and thick scarves! I must admit I am pretty lazy about "working out" but come spring all I want to do is get outside for anything...nice long walk, jog, rollerblade, bike ride...if I had a bike that is! ha-ha Soak it in while it lasts Torontonians & enjoy! xo

Happy March,

I've had enough of the snow, slush and cold...I am ready for warm spring showers, budding flowers peaking out everywhere and sunshine. Hope this post warms you up today.

Enjoy! xo

Spring continues!

As promised from Tuesday's post part two of the photos from the Chapters Indigo Spring/Summer preview event. I'll be brief and let the photos do all the talking but not before I extend a big THANK YOU to all the lovely people at Chapters Indigo for the invite. These folks really go above and beyond making everyone feel comfortable and welcomed and I think that alone speaks volumes for the company.

I continue to be surprised and impressed by all the merchandise Chapters Indigo is bringing out. It's definitely becoming my go-to place for gifts for everyone simply because I know I will find different and unique goodies I know they will enjoy. As for the debate on books vs e-readers? Well, when asked how many of us prefer actual books over the e-readers I'd say about 95% of people in the room's hands shot right up into the air. I don't care what anyone says. No technology could replace the feeling of enjoying and holding a book tangibly in your hands...and looks like I'm not alone on that front!

Enjoy part two!

I fell in love with these jars

See, what did I tell ya? Gifts for everyone!

I spy the lamp in yellow...decisions decisions!

Spring is almost here! Don't believe me? Then feast your eyes on the spring/summer merchandise from Indigo for 2012. I know I say it over and over again on the blog but I just LOVE Chapters/Indigo...it's like they are in our minds and just deliver time and time again exactly what we want. Beautiful frames? Check. Gorgeous candles? Check. Fun paper weights? Stunning desk lamps? Inspiring note books? check check & CHECK!

Needless to say I was on cloud nine mentally making my shopping lists as I walked through the showroom. To top it off I was pleasantly surprised to hear their inspiration for this season was the Greek Islands!! (woot woot!)...all the rich turquoises and vibrant blues definitely had me feeling nostalgic of the homeland.

Obviously I went snap happy so to avoid bombarding you all with 50+ photos I separated them into two posts...here is part one I hope you enjoy looking at them and gets you excited for spring!
