Mint has been having its moment in the fashion world for a few seasons now and I'm still enamoured with it. All of these mint pieces were purchased from Zara almost two years ago and are still in heavy rotation every spring, especially at Easter. Our house is currently full of my daughter's chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs, I think I'm going to have to snag a few for myself to snack on ;)

Tulle is such a celebratory fabric, isn't it? Since it's my birthday, I thought this skirt would be the perfect outfit to post on the blog today. Now I'm off to enjoy my birthday celebrations with the hubby for an extended long weekend! Happy Friday lovelies!

With music festival season right around the corner, I was compelled to put together some festival-inspired pieces that I would wear if I were heading to the ultimate fashion and music festival - COACHELLA! For those of you who are going, don't forget the Polaroid camera and rainbow film for fun :)

I love April. Not only is it my birth month, but it's also when new life is being breathed into nature. Every Spring I look forward to seeing the cherry blossom trees burst into fluffy pink and white flower clouds delicately suspended in the air from its branches. It's a short-lived season, which is why I take every opportunity I can to photograph cherry blossoms in all their glory - just check my Instagram feed for proof!

It's not very obvious in these photos but it was POURING rain when we were taking these shots outside of the Vancouver Art Gallery. Needless to say, it was a very quick shoot and totally worth getting rained on to capture the canopy of pink cherry blossoms as a backdrop. Oh, and I've officially ditched the tights. Bare legs until mid-October!

Hawaii Style: Beach to Street

With my Hawaiian vacation coming up in the next month, I've been looking forward to styling tropical, warm weather looks. Here's what I'd love to pack in my luggage that will help bring me from a perfect day spent sunbathing at the beach to a sunset dinner and cocktails in the city.
