love: cheeky totes

chip chop totes are too cute for words!
my personal fave is the dali-inspired one.
dali + the 'stache trend = pure awesomeness!

letter: dear penguin postcards

i really like you guys.
i wish i had my own old school red mailbox and one of you were in it,
sent by someone from far away:
maybe an old friend, a once-upon-a-time lover, or just a stranger
who lives somewhere where it doesn't snow...

love: a single man

what a beautiful film.
i loved every single thing about it:
the aesthetic, the soundtrack, the mise en scene, the era,
the way the camera zoomed and focused on the smallest details,
the dialogue, the dark, subtle humour,
the romance, the catharsis, the tragedy, the narration...
and of course
christopher isherwood, tom ford, matthew goode,
and the man who put flesh and blood and unparalleled charm to austen and fielding's mr. darcy...
colin firth.

and yes, if you must know,
i did cry...

see: beautiful imperfections

line from a foreign film:

' i don't know which is harder:
to learn to love someone who loves you,
or to hope that the person you love, loves you back...'

moment of weakness

everyone is allowed one from time to time...

see: yellow submarine

how very, very cool is this!?
for those people who love tea as much as i do,
this is perhaps one of the coolest things i have seen.

all i can hear in my head right now is:
'we all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, yellow submarine...'

love: scandinavian winter dressing

the scandinavians know how to keep warm
without compromising fashion.
sartorial success sans hypothermia -
really and truly, this is what Canadians like myself
strive for in the bitter cold months of winter.
