travel | 4-day getaway

On Thursday, I'm flying off to the city that never sleeps and where the streets are just filled with yellow taxi cabs.

travel | For the (fashionable) traveler.

First things first, apart from Shopbop, Etsy is another online addiction of mine. You can find absolutely anything you want! From gorgeous raw quartz necklaces, to salt water taffy (I haven’t ordered either, thank you very much!) Secondly, I love personalized keepsakes. So while perusing Etsy a few days ago, I came across HarLex.

For a girl who loves her arm candy, (my poison of choice are rings). I want a place to display, and have easy access to them when I’m getting dressed. 

accessories | A Photog's Needs.

As some of you may know I am an avid photographer and I cannot leave my house without my SLR especially when I go traveling. I think when I go traveling I am more concerned of which cameras I need to bring then secondly, what I'll be wearing. But lately, I've been really lazy lugging around my backpack full of my gear so I'm on a hunt to find a fashionable camera bag. Something that doesn't look like a camera bag from the outside and something that fits my daily life. And I've also come to realised after traveling for the past 2 years and lugging my camera bag, I barely use any of my other cameras I bring because I usually 1. leave the backpack in the hotel room and 2. I get lazy lugging my cameras in my everyday bag.

And so the hunt begins....

accessories | Beating The Mid-Winter Blahs

Overcast, not to mention freezing, throw in slush and you've got winter.

But for us in Toronto, we've got the sun and a lovely 9 degrees, and what better handbag tote around then my Rebecca Minkoff C YA Later clutch in tan?

“Not all those who wander are lost.”- J.R.R Tolkien

At the end of the summer, I decided it was time to take a time-out from Toronto, and work.

T had mentioned she wanted to go traveling. She wanted Asia, and I wanted Africa, obviously very different ends on the travel spectrum.  We thought of places from South Africa, to South America, but couldn’t decide on a country both our interest could be met. It seemed that this trip wasn't going to pan out, then T’s uncle suggested Austria or Czech Republic. I had never once considered going to either country, since Ireland has always been top destination for Europe. But I decided to bite the bullet and do my research on both countries.

Totes are the perfect way if you are going shopping and you can just stuff everything there as you go. I'm completely in love with fieldguided's canvas tote bags. I purchase one called We've seen each other in a dream from Bicyclette. It's my go-to-bag for the weekend and it's also a perfect fit to lug your laptop if you don't have a bag. 

style spotlight | sass & bide Fall RTW '12

style spotlight begins with sass & bide, a beloved and well-respected Australian brand. And I begin to wonder how its the first time I heard about them. Either way... I am in love with their Fall Ready-to-Wear '12 collection. Lovin' the combination of the bold prints with the vibrant colours. Needless to say, if I could, I would own and wear everything in this collection.
