brunch-ing.

hi there!

it has been a very busy week

lots of researching,

more researching

packing,

realizing i don't need what i packed,

unpacking

realizing that i might need that after all

repacking

shoes shopping,

bikini shopping,

dress shopping,

bargain shopping,

impuslive purchases shopping

"did i really buy that?!?" shopping

yup, it has been a pretty packed week
so

i made a commitment to pay extra close attention to what i eat,

i, like a few others i would guess

have a tendency to munch on junk food when stress levels are high

today for lunch,

i went to the grocery store,

stacked on couscous,

followed by chickpea salad,

& finished with some wild rice

yum!

it was absolutely delicious!

i'm flying out this saturday,

i'm quite nervous,

well....really nervous,

but before then i need to check a few things off the to-do list

tomorrow is canada day!

sending lots of love,

-m

melting away

it is 28 degrees,

the aircon has decided to go on strike

& i am studying for a test tomorrow,

dear summer,

i know you've just arrived, 

(*welcome, by the way!)

& i know we all begged you to come as soon as possible,

numerous times,

but if you could take it down,

just a bit...

at least until the aircon returns

it'd be greatly appreciated! 

love always, 

(well... not always - not so much now, as i boil in my bedroom)

------

oh! it was father's day. had a great time, hope you did too :)

cmok cmok,

happy june!

hey you,

happy june!

summer is getting ready

to take the stage,

while my much loved spring

exists gracefully

i thought jen gotch's photos

were perfect for welcoming summer,

they remind me of hot summer afternoons

during those rare moments when you've

run all of your errands,

crossed off everything on the to do list

& you begin to realize that you have some time

for yourself

i'm quite excited for those moments!

also. i found the photos in the newest issue

of antler magazine

enjoy & get ready for some heat,

-m

sugar rush

just looking at these photos

makes me yearn something delicious

the colours are so sweet

so fun!

they make me want to run away

to paris

to spend all day

running around in my chic vêtements,

luncing on delicious crêpes,

while everyone breaks out into song & dance

sigh

that's what a good set of photos does to me ;)

gros bisous,

some kind of summer

when i close my eyes

and begin to day dream

of the perfect,

the most lovely,

most quaint,

most brilliant,

summer

ever.

i imagine the place

in the above photo,

a good book,

& those shoes

love,

and i have the perfect song
for the occasion

our swords by band of horses

wishing you many summer adventures,
