fashion?

I've been posing for pictures for PFS Vintage, run by my awesome friend Alex Brown (she writes a great blog under the same name, read it here.) Alex is the brains (and beauty) behind PFS Vintage, and her boyfriend Germain takes the wonderful photographs and bosses me around. Working with these two is always a fun time! All of the clothes featured below are for sale in Alex's online shop

Alex, me, and our pal Sylvia, there to give moral support (LOL)

the beatles + stripes

I'm wearing stripes right now and thought, "Hey, here's a great idea: I'm going to try to find as many pictures as I can of The Beatles wearing stripes!" Just an average Saturday morning, folks! Here's my collection of Beatles shots where they are either wearing stripy outfits or photographed on/in front of stripes...

cottage livin'


This past weekend I went to my bf's friend Josh's cottage in Harrington, Quebec. It was great to get a break from the city, especially in this kind of heat-wave weather. I got to relax, read a book I've been trying to finish since Christmas, eat lots of snacks, jump in the lake whenever I felt even the slightest bit hot, go on a pontoon boat, which is essentially just a floating dock with a motor attached to it, and drink a lot of white wine. I wish I could live at a cottage all year round. Here are some pics, if you care to see!

Josh’s cottage is super old but extremely charming. He’s in the process of building a basement for it, which explains why it’s on stilts right now and looks like it’s floating!

The cute lil kitchen with walls made of logs. 

The balcony looking out onto the water. A balcony like this is a cottage essential, no?

Logs 'n life jackets!

Josh himself, unloading the car. 

Unloading the weekend's necessity: alcohol. 

This vintage couch blends in with the old-time feeling of the cottage.

Cool retro ceiling lights.

Nice light. 

White wine in a cartoon glass, on the pontoon boat. 
My bf Jesse and his lil Mr. Man pal on the boat.

Lemonade in a crystal glass.

The flooring of the cottage is this retro '60s design: I kinda like it!

The bright morning sun lighting this awesome traditional carpet. 

Old flower wallpaper in the hallway. 

Mixing patterns.

Fresh strawberries for snackin'.

Dirty - yet pretty - dishes.

And there you have it! My awesome cottage weekend! Thanks Josh for having us!
