Elsewhere - Pinterest Bag Obsession


I've mentioned before about my Pinterest obsession, it's definitely because of how calming and therapeutic browsing hundreds of photos are. Currently, one of my favourite boards is my Purses // Handbags board. While browsing through the board it is easy to see I'm having a bit of a love affair right now with bucket bags. I'm actually contemplating making myself a bucket bag from reclaimed leather. But it's good to know that if I do go through with making my own bucket bag I'll have lots of inspiration to pick through.

Diys To Try - Planters and Vases


After years of steering clear of plants, I've recently fallen madly in love with all things green.  Gone are the days when I used to kill anything that required soil. I guess with age has come the maturity of remembering to take care of plants. With this new found green thumb, I've also become obsessed with planters and vases. Here's a couple fantastic diys I've found to offer a bit inspiration for this weekend. If you're interested you can always follow along with my favourite diys on my Pinterest Board // Diy

  1. Marble Dipped Vase
  2.  Leather Wrapped Planter
  3.  Gold Leaf Vase
  4.  Balsa Wood Planter
  5.  Honeycomb Planter
  6.  Colour Blocked Planters

What I Wore - Red & Seafoam


I've been told I don't dress for cool weather like other people do. My counter-argument is I'm a Canadian with viking blood, I don't feel cold weather... The reality though? I love skirts & dresses so much it takes quite a dip in temperature for me to retire them for fall.

New In - Diy Print Dress With Tie


Sometimes I make bad decisions. Making a very summery dress right when summer is over and it is starting to get cold... is one of them. I can't help it. I thought the dress would be super cute so I made it. I figure summer will come back around eventually and when it does, I'll have a cute dress to wear. 

I know it's almost just like the last dress I sewed. This one is different though, it has a tie with a bow. I liked the fit and style so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have another.

Elsewhere - Pinterest Shoe Obsession

Booties With Heels


I think it is important to share my shoe obsession with you guys. The obsession itself is virtual because weirdly enough, I don't actually buy many shoes. But basically daily I'm over on my Pinterest finding shoes to post on my Shoe Board. If your into seeing new shoes to lust over as much as me, feel free to follow!

What I Wore - Pleated Crop Top & Shorts


When I get some free time I've gotten into the habit of going on bike rides. Today I threw on my pleated crop top and some shorts and got out into the warm weather that I'm sure isn't going to last much longer.

New In - Diy Mint Green Tank Dress


I walked past this fabric at the fabric store and knew I had to buy it. I really like a mint green/seafoam green colour but don't actually own anything in that colour. Personally I thought the fabric was nice enough that I didn't need to do anything complicated with it.


This is a favourite fit and shape for a dress. Just simple and lose with a curved hem. The extra panel was added mostly because I love drapey dresses and this gives me the option of making it look drapey.

Next Project - Beige/Yellow Jacquard Blazer


New fabric usually equals new project in the works. Whether or not I've planned and know what the project is can be a toss up. But this time I know exactly what I want to make with my brand new fabric. Pretty soon (hopefully) you'll be seeing a shiny new blazer.

Song of the Day - I Wear Glasses


"I wear glasses so that I can see you better" is going to be my new pick-up line. Obviously I'll follow it up by pushing my glasses up and snort-lauging.

Diy - Floral Arrangement


Somewhere down the rabbit whole of internet surfing, I saw something I wanted to try. I saw a quick picture of a helpful tip for floral arrangements that I thought would help me step up my florist game. Luckily I still had some roses in the garden I could experiment with.

Song of the Day - Veins



Pretty sure Sundays are made for moody music. These lyrics are definitely moody and Keyes voice sounds delightfully melodic.
