Black and Tan



Club Monaco dress and skirt, H&M booties, ring c/o Social Experiment, bag c/o Mary Nichols

Yet another morning shoot! Apparently these have become a new "thing" for me, though this one was done more out of necessity than anything else. Yesterday was so incredibly disgusting, it was pouring rain and windy and just all-around yucky. In a weird way though, it reminded me of home (Van-city), and I've been having weird bouts of homesickness lately so it was kind of welcome. I think it's the fact that my family's been going up to our Sunshine Coast cabin so much and I feel starved for ocean time. That and I'm kind of amping up now to make plans to stay here in Toronto longer so I'm kind of coming to terms that I'll definitely be away for longer now.

Anyway, if I've been super MIA on all of your blogs lately, it's just because I've been putting myself through a bit of a whirlwind with all the things that go along with making a more permanent move somewhere (job hunt, apartment hunt, etc). So forgive me if I'm not commenting as much! I usually still creep on everyone's blogs to see what they've been up to though :)

Happy Monday everyone!

  9. Black and tan--such a classic cool combo.

    This permanent move you're alluding to--does that mean you'll be staying in TO, or do you have another destination in mind? :)

  12. What a shame about the weekend weather, pally. Rain descended on Vancouver yet again yesterday, but luckily the sunshine is back today. You are looking gorgeous as always. I just loooove those sunnies, such a pretty and unusual colour for frames. I also feel the need to tell you, I totally did a double take and thought your bracelet was a tattoo?! I think I think I need more caffeine. Miss you girl, but glad to hear things are going to well in TO.

  29. Lovely outfit and the lighting in these photos is gorgeous! It takes a while to settle into a new place away from home - but stay busy (but not hectic) doing plenty of fun/relaxing things, and it gets better :)

  40. Totally understand you being MIA while you settle in (though I must admit that I miss seeing you around my blog!). You look so pretty and I LOVE that bag :)

    We've been in Florida two years and I still have bouts of homesickness. I try to just brush it off and be thankful that I have something/someone to be homesick for :) Plus, it makes visits so much more exciting.
