SHE MOVED SO EASILY ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS SUNLIGHT

Just a little preview of things to come. Sasquatch will be here soon and I couldn't help but try on a few outfits in anticipation..

 Ring & Earrings: Aldo

 Bandeau: Wilfred, Skirt: from Mexico, Necklace: made by me

 Dress: unknown.. Earrings: made by me, Bracelets: Gap, from Mexico, and made by me

THERE'S KIDS PLAYING GAMES ON THE PAVEMENT DRAWING WAVES ON THE PAVEMENT

Shorts: Old Navy, Shirt: Calvin Klein, Scarf: Club Monaco, Shades: Ray Ban, Ring: Aldo

Yesterday was so gorgeous out that I took my grade ones to the playground twice. Sometimes it is just too hard to get work done indoors when you know the sun is shining.

SO YOU CAN PUT A BLUE RIBBON ON MY BRAIN

So I bought this dress recently, and the front is supposed to look like this...

..But I didn't like it that way, so I wear it reversed, and now it looks like this...

Much more dramatic don't you think?

Dress: Gap, Necklace: Swarovski

SHOW ME A GARDEN THAT'S BURSTING INTO LIFE

Blazer: Talula, Skirt: Jacob, Scarf: Club Monaco, Shoes: Nine West

A perfect day for floral, animal print, and bare legs. And sunglasses. Tried this new kind of 'crackle' nail polish and have never had so many compliments on my nails before. My grade ones, especially, were infatuated: "I like your giraffe nails Miss Deitcher" "Did you paint them to look like a cheetah Miss Deitcher?" "Your nails look like little cookies Miss Deitcher!"

IT'S IN THE WATER, IT'S IN THE STORY

Today was the first day in a long time that I bought both parts of a bathing suit that match, top and bottom. I usually only buy seperates, random patterns and colors, mixing and matching. With weekends of camping coming up (and hopefully warm-enough weather to get a tan *fingers crossed*), these pieces will definitely make their debut.

All swimsuits: Old Navy

I'D BE CRAZY NOT TO FOLLOW, FOLLOW WHERE YOU LEAD

Slip: Club Monaco

I have been sick all week, although still trying to get out and do stuff. This little black slip came part of a dress, but I've been mixing it with so many other things lately. It is the perfect layering piece, under or over other clothes, and très comfy. It also makes outfit selections super easy, especially when recently all I can focus on is getting a good night's sleep and getting my voice back...

 Shirt: American Eagle

 Shirt: H&M

 Belt: Club Monaco, Skirt: Talula

 Blazer: Talula

 Shirt: Roots

Shoes: Michael Kors

Oh yes, and just dying to wear these summer shoes...

I'LL TRY TO BE MORE ROMANTIC

I've been in some kind of mood lately, one of buying lots of things for summer and making lots of things for music concerts and watching so many Canucks games and keeping busy with anything possible. A recent purchase: this floral blazer, an absolute must, especially for travelling, light and easy to pack and goes with everything. Two recent designs: this gold dress, still in need of some embellishments I have yet to sew on, and this necklace, another must, especially for hippie-dressing Sasquatch coming up in three weeks.

WE BELONG IN A MOVIE

Coat: Club Monaco, Skirt: Talula, Bandeau: Wilfred, Rings: Club Monaco

After I bought this coat, I went home and tried it on with all kinds of outfits. It works with everything. It's made from a really heavy organic material, so it never wrinkles and drapes perfectly. Perhaps the most wearable, versatile, and classic piece of clothing I own. I'm so in love.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU

Jeans: Gap, Shirt: Zoa, Jacket: Lucky Brand, Bag: Coach, Earrings: handmade

May is here, summer is almost. Two months of school left and I am already packing for trips that are planned. Camping, Sasquatch, Quebec City, Toronto, and New York.. all within reaching distance. I feel like if I start packing for them now, they will get here faster...

Have needed new jeans for a while, and then found them in the form of flares surprisingly. They're really long though, so I always have to wear heels with them. Which, obviously, is totally fine with me.

WORK IT MAKE IT DO IT MAKES US HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER

One of the best feelings of my life. Rounding that 37 kilometre corner, something jumpstarted inside me and I took off, picking up speed, I felt outside my body, my mind coaching my legs that forgot I had already ran 37 kilometres and convincing my heart that 5 kilometres to go was easy, nothing could stop me, over the bridge, through the streets, seeing that finish line banner and sprinting out of pure happiness right to the end. I will never forget it.
