Lost Things

Yesterday, I tweeted about this stop motion video posted by DaydreamLily. In less than 24 hours, I think I have watched it about a dozen times. Its quirky, whimsical vibe is sheer perfection! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

The Art of Jordan

I've really been enjoying Jordan Clark's blog The Art of Jordan. I especially love catching up on her Style Sleuth section. Her most recent post breaking down this adorable ensemble had to be shared! If you love it as much as I do, head on over to find out where each of the pieces are from. Holding myself back from buying the whole outfit if proving to be a test of futility.

Ultimate Wedding Cake

It's totally outrageous but I can't help but love the concept! Would this be considered the ultimate wedding dress or the ultimate wedding cake? I'd like to see Duff or Buddy make this.

That Girl: Joanna Hillman

We all had one. You know, that girl in high school who you admired - cool, beautiful and full of confidence. For me, that was always Joanna Hillman. Looks like these days there is even more for me to admire with her role as Senior Fashion Market Editor at Harper's Bazaar. She's rocking a killer job and the killer wardrobe that comes with it. Her style is the perfect blend of polish and edge and I love every bit of it! Best of all, you will find no devil wearing Prada here - Joanna has always been a seriously sweet person and I wish her all the best and continued success!

Girl Crush

What is not to love about Rachel Bilson? She is so ridiculously adorable and chic that it makes me sick (okay, maybe I am green with jealousy). She is that one celeb whose style really resonates with me. Ahhhh - swapping closets with her would be like a dream come true!

My Idol

Enjoy! (BTW: Can you spot Nico and Natalie from SYTYCD Canada?!?!)

Talent Crush

I have a total talent crush on photographer, Mariah Kordzadze. The tone and feeling of this collection of images makes me smile and reminds me of being a teenager (cotton candy makes me very nostalgic). Head over to her flickr page to see more her photo collections.

One of a Kind Find

Elva Fields makes the most unbelievably stunning necklaces! Each one-of-kind piece has so much personality and could take any outfit up a notch. They are all so unique, I would be hard pressed to pick a favourite. Here's a preview of the ones that really stand out.

Serious Sweet Tooth

I have a serious sweet tooth that I have learned to curb over of the years. That said, every now and again I indulge myself with a worthy treat. While my man is convinced that my first choice would always be cupcakes (honestly, I think they look prettier than they taste), the hands-down winner for me is a really big, chunky chocolate chip cookie (preferably from Le Gourmand). If you ever come to Toronto for a visit, I seriously suggest you pick one up - it is worth every calorie-packed bite. The only thing better than getting a good sugar fix is getting one in a place whose charm and decor match the deliciousness of your chosen treat. I definitely need to make of point of visiting these adorable places if I make it to these cities. (I can cross MoRoCo off my list - it's way too close to my office for comfort!)

Worth getting dirty

When creativity and innovation collide, amazing ideas emerge. Check out one of the coolest concepts I have since in long time. This print by Roland Tiangco is so unique - you complete the poster by revealing the spot varnished type with your hands as they get dirty from unwrapping it. It totally reminds me of the paper I had as a kid that you paint with water and all the colours would magically appear. This is the first of a series - I can't wait to see the others.

What a lovely package

My boyfriend and I have a great appreciation for product packaging and branding. Just yesterday, he showed me Lovely Package, a very cool site showcasing the best in package design. With endless amounts of strong graphics and unique packaging ideas picking out my favourites became harder and harder. Here is a taste of the ones that really caught my eye.
