My Favourite Blogs

Hi folks! I know it's been an eternity since I graced this blog with my presence, so I apologize. Pleeeeeease forgive me? The problem is a tiny distraction called Pinterest! Follow me here.

I thought I'd take the time to share my top 10 favourite blogs with you. I usually hit these up once a week :)

1. The Rockstar Diaries. Featuring the most beautiful baby I've ever seen and the most adorable mom and dad.

2. Cupcakes and Cashmere. Exactly as it sounds...the perfect mix of food and fashion.

3. Kendi Everyday. Love her outfit posts. Plus she's hilarious.

4. Kelli Murray's Blog. Super cool graphic designer + cute baby + amazing fashion posts.

5. Bleubird Vintage. Follows James and her cute little hippie family.

6. A Beautiful Mess. This girl (Elsie Larson) seriously inspires me- I would love to do what she does one day.

7. Space for the Creative. My friend Heidi's blog...I'm inspired by her creativity! She is always trying new things :)

8. Oh Joy! This blog always makes me hungry!

9. The Beauty Department. So many fun and creative things to try...the sock bun had changed my hair life!

10. Design Love Fest. I feel like I could've been sisters with Bri in another life!

Check them out, and who knows...maybe you'll have a new favourite? :)

Obviously, I've been watching as much Flula as possible. Thanks Tim.

Cousins. For me, thanksgiving usually just means good eats. But lately, I've been able to hang out with some of my cousins more than normal, and this is great. We've gotten closer as we've gotten older, which I think is a bit opposite to how it usually goes. This makes me happy.




T.
Trying out new hairstyles.

Organizing my bedroom makeover thoughts. Still waiting for the bedroom set to arrive, but in the meantime I gotta get my stuff together! I don't mind the brushed nickel hardware, but I want something more me. Here's some I found at anthropologie. I prefer gold over silver-tones almost every time...what do you think?






B.
Birthday (mine). It's coming up next month. The big 2-2. Have no idea how I want to celebrate though...any ideas?

E.
Everyone loves a good ferriss wheel ride. I enjoyed one last Monday at The Rockton Fair.




R.
Reliving the past. Ugh, these photos never get old :)

camping @ killbear.

hey followers!

thought I'd share a couple pictures from my most recent (and perhaps last?) camping trip. the weather was a bit cold and damp, but I enjoyed relaxing and really just getting away from life's stresses.
I was also with a great group of people, which totally made the trip. the lovely perez ladies (kaylee, jessy & lesly) my wonderful sister, Julia, and 2 great buddies: jaron & brandon. did I mention I was also 5 feet away from a black bear? oh yeah, that was interesting! my parents did not enjoy that story when I got home...

New Bedroom!

A bedroom makeover is in the works! I am super excited.

I got an amazing deal last weekend at a trade-show called KW's Finest. Bed, 2 night-stands, and 2 huge dressers!
Here's a sneak peek...



I haven't come close to figuring out all the details, I just know I want something kinda earthy/bohemian. I've already got this amazing patchwork quilt that I got years ago in Guatemala, so I'd love to finaly incorporate it into my room.

I found these online and was instantly inspired:

I think the clean lines of the furniture will go nicely with the more free-spirited look I'd like to see throughout the room. We'll just have to wait and see!

I like.

I never considered dying my hair red until I saw this photo on Whitney Port's blog. SO many girls (who have been blonde previously) are going red. I just might consider it for some time down the road...




never thought of wearing my lace shorts like this...it's super cute! Kelli's blog is amazing, check it out here.



@therealzooeyd. follow her on twitter already!
(this is a photo of a poster I have hanging in my room. just love her.)
SO pumped for her new show "New Girl" this fall. Cannot. Wait.



pretty colour-fade top. see more of Frida's looks here.

Life Lately...

Land of Wonder.

For my friend Jessy's 19th birthday a bunch of us trekked (sp?) to Canada's Wonderland for a day of fun, fear, and refreshments. I went with the intention of just hanging out and avoiding the rides 'cause I usually hate them. Anyways, I tried out a few, and decided it's a love/hate thing for me. I hate the feeling of falling but once it's over something makes me want to do it again! I think I conquered my coaster fears. What a fun day with a really fun group of people I don't normally spend time with...it was nice to hang out guys! Lets do it again?
