Eric and I rarely leave our house, but last night was a beautiful evening. A tad windy, but beautiful nonetheless. We had been invited to visit the new University of Alberta Botanical Gardens a few weeks prior, and without realizing, the night of the unveil snuck up on us. So we changed out of our…

The Future Freaks Me Out
If you’re wondering, yes, this title’s post is a Motion City Soundtrack song. It’s also relevant to what I want to talk about in this post – the freaking future (and how I survived my own after I graduated). The future can be many things – it can be exciting, it can be terrifying, but…

After a few weeks of living as an orange, I’m back to black thanks to my friends over at Ponytails + Horseshoes. It’s an interesting thing, having your hair change so drastically, and with that, your outfits. Anyway, if you couldn’t tell by the layers, it’s been a tad chilly in Edmonton. So chilly that…

Studio
Dreaming of warmer days when I didn’t have to worry about my car starting or my fingers freezing off (it’s a miracle they’re still there). I’m well aware that the studio needs no introduction on this blog, but given its very recent makeover courtesy of me, Eric, and my dad, I figured that this blog…
