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.

i love sunday suppers
as it inspires many of us to take dinners and table settings
to a whole new level!
brilliant people - artists, renowned chefs, stylists, photographers, etc -
all come together and participate in this 'class-cookin-dining experience'.
anyway, i really really love the winter dinner series.
i love the richness of the colour palette, and yes,
i love, love, love the terrariums that were
incorporated in this setting!

do: framed wall collages

i bought a ton of white frames
of different shapes and sizes
so i can finally put up some of
my favourite photos from all of my travels.
i want to create an asymmetrical vignette
but i wasn't sure as to how to approach this.
so i did some research for inspiration and tips
on how to create a wall of framed photos:








i will update on how mine turns out soon!

taste: saturday morning caramel apple waffles

we used caramel apple waffle and pancake mix from williams sonoma and followed the recipe on the tin which called for the basics:
butter, egg, and milk.
mix it all together (don't overmix) and get the batter in your waffle-maker.
when it's ready, your waffle-maker will somehow tell you it is -
whether with a little ding of a bell a la toaster, or in our case,
a little red light turned on above the words 'ready' on the gadget.
transfer the golden disc of deliciousness onto a plate.
optional: smidgen of butter, drizzle of maple syrup.
happy saturday!

(i had some over-easy eggs and pomegranate green tea with mine too!)

see: blush + snow

sometimes i daydream
of paris or prague
in the winter
and somehow i picture everything
in a shade of
the warmest white,
the palest grey,
and the pinked cheeks of girls who live
in these cities where magic exists in the everyday...
