This made me happy :)

Happy Thanksgiving to any fellow Canadians out there!

what I'm listening to right now...

So I appear to be listening to a lot of British musicians lately...  maybe this is a thing?  Who knows :)

Also, lots and lots of indie... Because that is a thing and it never changes :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

what I'm listening to right now....

Just a bit of what my days have been sounding like lately.

Also, I apologize for the unintended break of the past month....  I am hoping, and trying, to make sure it won't happen again, but I make no promises :)

30 Day Snap | Day 24

Painted my toenails...  This is definitely my favourite nail polish colour for this summer :)

Persephone by Zoya



Aannnddd.... Some random links to stuff that is awesome and cool:

I stumbled across this post recently which basically says all the things that I believe about women and feminism in much better words than I ever could.

This letter from a father to his daughter about her future husband is just beautiful.

Love this song by The Honey Trees.

And, this is just fun: Awesome People Reading.

30 Day Snap | Day 10

One of pictures that I took today for a photography class assignment.

Also, this GIF is amazing :)

Hellloooo!

So, I thought that today would be a good day to share some cool links from around the interwebs :)

22 amazing places.  Mind Blowing :)

 Some super cool art.

So excited to go see this movie next week! (I know it came out yesterday but we always wait for the crowds to die down a bit :))

Collage Fashion does a great Hautelinks post once a week :)

I really want to try this on my nails soon!

As you may or may not know I am going to be doing some traveling this summer and herpackinglist.com is my latest and greatest favourite packing tips website....  I really like that it is geared specifically to women :)

Although they are out of my price range I do occasionally love to look at the  United Nude shoes... These are my favourites.

This video of kids trying odd foods for the first time is so cute!

I desperately want to make some soft pretzels this summer!  Maybe using this recipe from A Beautiful Mess?

And finally, I think that this may be my summer song :)


Have a great weekend everyone!

what I'm listening to right now...

A few new (to me) bands that I have been enjoying recently...

what I'm listening to right now...

A few of my all time favorites.   And look! It's another City Harmonic song!  :) 

Boots

Are these boots not some of the most beautiful things you have ever seen!  Well obviously I think that they are :)  Head over to ModCloth to see more of the Fact and Confection boots.

Backyard vacation

This afternoon I decided that I was going to take a little vacation.  In my backyard.  Seeing as there is no way I can go to the beach or the pool this year with my knee the way it is, much less go jet setting off on some amazing summer vacation... I thought that I would make the most of what I have.  I have done this before, but this time I thought I would take some pictures and share with you what I consider the perfect elements for a relaxing backyard vacation :) 

1. A big floppy hat, sunglasses and a good book.

2. A vacation spot.  A lounge chair, a hammock, or even a blanket on the grass... Whatever works for you!

3. Music!  Make sure to wear headphones though or keep the volume down...  I have had some neighbours who thought that the whole neighbourhood would like to listen to their music as well... all day. Not cool.  

4.Happy face! If you don't act like you are on vacation you won't feel like you are on vacation ;) 

Other randomness:

-Don't forget to wear sunscreen!

-This can be improved upon by food and drink... I suggest lemon water, sangria, frozen fruit, Pringles, popsicles...whatever your heart desires.  Remember, you're on vacation ;)  (for those of you that are wondering, I just had bottled water and gum today... not the most exciting but I went outside between lunch and supper so I wasn't that hungry :))

-Ignore your phone!  Treat it like a real vacation otherwise it doesn't work.

And, that's how I do a backyard vacation :)  Have a great night everyone!
