I cannot even think of the age at which I decided I wanted to travel the world. Intense sense of wanderlust has just permeated my existence for as long as I can remember, so long I have forgotten when it began. I didn't grow up in an increasingly worldly household. My mother only started travelling seriously as an adult, when she could finally afford her vacations on her own. My dad was in the military and travelled a lot, but we didn't. And yet, I have the deepest desire to traverse the globe, and I have such an intense curiosity about the wonders hidden in the rest of the world, that I often wonder where it all came from. As with everything else in my life, I blame the Internet. The world wide web is a magical place for those wanting to experience life beyond their own backyard, and an even more magical place for making us think we can actually experience it for ourselves one day. 

I am a true believer in that you can do whatever you set your mind too. I guess that is one of the major reasons I am so excited to see my life unfold; because I have envisioned a future for myself so magnificent, that I cannot wait to get started on making it all happen. "Making it all happen" includes visiting gorgeous places like this. Euginia Silva's breathtaking abode located in the Balearic Islands is the stuff dream houses are made of. I don't think, actually I know, there is not one detail in these photos that follow, that I am not absolutely unwaveringly in love with. The tropical desert oasis vibe with carefree spirit and billowing window curtains, the bright light, shadows, crisp white linens, rustic stone and occasional pops of saturated colours are enough to make one's heart flutter with envy.

So before I have an aneurism as a result of the amazement I am currently experiencing, I will let you take in the beautiful photography for yourself.

Currently obsessed with all things white this summer, and clearly I'm not alone either. There is just something so clean and sophisticated, yet relaxed and cool, about the monochromatic colour combo and especially when that colour also happens to be linen, you really can't get anything better. So here is a little collage I put together using Photoshop CS6. I combined various photos I have found over the past week or so that I feel perfectly style the cool summer hue. 

These lovely images can either be found on my Pinterest or on WhoWhatWear.

Being of half Scottish heritage I love nothing more than finding amazing fashion brands, or basically just anything amazing that originates from my family's homeland. Although I have never been to the beautiful celtic country I still have a subconscious sense of pride about the country and it's people. I hope to one day visit Scotland to see what my ancestors left behind when they began their voyage to the Great White North, but in the meantime I have the Internet...and Strathberry. This amazing Scottish handbag company is a new discovery (and my new I mean like it was mere days ago that I found out they existed) and I honestly don't know what I was doing with my life before this point. The construction, quality and stye of these handbags are every fashion girls dream come true....and at a price tag so tantalizing it's hard to not jump online and buy multiples in one sitting. Gorgeous, hand crafted leather handbags as their specialty, Strathberry of Scotland is a fairly fresh face on the fashion scene (wow enough F's do you think?) but my oh my are they going to make waves. Created in small batches, Strathberry's number one priority is quality and craftsmanship. No mass manufacturing here folks, which is also a new concept in today's modern fashion world where to be big you have to be big (i.e. multiple factories, mass production and plants all over the world). 

What turns my crank about these bags is the incredible lines and attention to detail. Every bag is perfectly constructed, in the best quality leather, in the most amazing colours. The signature gold bar across the top of every bag lends an air of consistency, like a signature, and in my mind I have a feeling it will be this little gold bar will be for Strathberry what the Double C is for Chanel or the LV for Louis Vuitton.

So take a look below, because by golly if there is one bag I will be sporting this summer (or more like saving for) it will without a doubt be Strathberry of Scotland.

There is very little in this world (as of late) that gets me excited the way interior design does. I love everything about the decoration of spaces, as I feel the space you live in is a direct reflection of the person you are. As a visitor, you are able to see a version of that person in the details they choose to surround themselves in, a collection of memories and moments, cherished and experienced. And as a decorator of your own home, every piece is perfectly and thoughtfully selected to demonstrate ones personality and lifestyle through that living space. Very little in our lives serves the same purpose that our spaces do; a perfect combination of expression and functionality. Because who wants a space that doesn't make their lives easier?

So in light of this personalization of spaces, I thought Erica's bedroom makeover with Decorist from HonestlyWTF was an appropriate (and gorgeous) reflection of what it means to struggle and succeed in creating a space that expertly speaks to the owner. The design is gorgeous, layout stunning, and I mean can we just talk about the photography that so perfectly captures the room?!?! Take a peek for yourself and maybe you too will be inspired to revamp your own room. I know I am!

So there you have it! Basically my dream space wrapped up and perfectly executed in someone else's very very lucky home.

P.S. If you noticed my old logo is back, yah I did that on purpose. I just wasn't feeling the new one and sometimes you just don't mess with a good thing :)

Mahone Bay

Here lies the correspondence of our first day in Nova Scotia. We flew in late Thursday night, thus nothing interesting happened. Day one was packed full, with a bright and early start of 8am. Mahone Bay, Lunenberg and Peggy's Cove were where we ended up and the weather could not have been any more perfect. Take a look at some of the shenanigans we got up to!! :) 

Lunenberg (and the most awesome lunch spot ever!! The lobster roll is KILLER)

So. Many. Colours. <3 <3

And there you have it! Day one of Nova Scotia in a nutshell. I seriously cannot believe how amazing some of these photos turned out, my camera is honestly one of the most important things that I own and to have something that catches moments like these in the most spectacular way, makes looking back on trips and adventures that much better!

More fun stuff coming soon so keep your eyes peeled!! <3

So today was the first official day of my weekend long Halifax vacation. Photo diaries of the weekends events will be up here soon but I thought I would also share what I have chosen to wear for this inaugural East Coast trip.

I and my clothing are heavily influenced by comfort, and when travelling, the comfort factor increases ten fold. So for a day of sitting in cars, walking along shore lines and squatting on rocks I thought a loose yet flattering ensemble would do just fine. These culottes from Aritzia which I gushed about here are back again because they are honestly one of the comfiest things I own at the moment. They are also incredibly stylish, are hugely on trend for the summer, and are in my life's go-to shade: navy.

Navy is not only flattering, it's also incredibly versatile. Which is why it goes so well with my Wilfred cropped blouse (also from Aritzia; I swear I am not sponsored by this brand, I'm just obsessed. Although if they wanted to sponsor me I'd be totally cool with it...) The flared pants go really well with the bell shaped hem of the top providing a flattering, dynamic image. My boots are ones I've been wearing for a while, by Wish Bone Collective, and my trench coat which I threw on at Peggy's Cove because the wind got a little chilly, is....wait for it...... Babaton from Aritzia.... wow I have a problem.

When the wind doesn't stop, the hair goes up 

Titanic minus the ship....and Leonardo...damnit.

Hope you guys enjoyed my little update! Photo diaries will be up shortly.

When I'm not working, eating or sleeping I tend to play on Photoshop...because that's how cool I am. So here is the latest product of my experimentation.

Remember a while back when I said I was obsessed with ear piercings and that I was super super close to getting more holes punched into my own lobes? Yah, well that died...and has been reborn in a much stronger form than the original. Leave it to Catbird, the most amazing jewellery brand you will EVER find, to reignite my obsession with simple stylish studs. So it seems that it will in fact be sooner rather than later that I make good on my plan to get a few more piercings, because with gems like these out in the world... how could I not??!

Chances are that these days anything minimal, feminine and breezy is bound to get my attention. I mean I am very hard pressed to find anything that relates to those aforementioned terms that I don't like, or die when seeing. So when I found Samu-Jussi Koski's spring collection over on HonestlyWTF, my heart fluttered once more. Their images (and clothes) are seriously everything you could ever want for an impromptu summer getaway, from their silk bandeau wrapped tops, pointed straw hats and gloriously coloured prints reminiscent of a mermaid clan you too will be hard pressed not to fall in love. So here, is to brightly coloured summer adventures in clothes that are just as chic as they are practical (Did I mention comfortable??)

Never did I think there would come a day when I wore wide leg pants. Like, ever. I have always been partial to skinny, slim legged pantalons but one of this summers hottest trends is the free flowing, wind blowing, effortless culotte courtesy of the seventies. And being the die hard fashion girl I am, I naturally had to try them out for myself. What I wasn't expecting was that I would actually fall in love with them. Neither did my mother, who still comments every time I leave the house in anything with a retro flare as it makes her shudder at the bygone days. Well mother, the bygone days are back, and I personally think they are pretty darn good! So, I thought I would share my spin on styling this summers hottest staple (is that enough s's??). Enjoy!!

Surprisingly, chicken wings do great things for showing off an outfit...
