Wishlist


Like my mum, I've very particular about what types of mugs I like to drink out of. My roommate brought back her 'S' mug after the holidays and I love it. The lip of the mug is small and dainty and the shape fits perfectly in my hands. At $8, the price point isn't bad either.


{Dior Paname Sunglasses}

I tried on these gorgeous Dior glasses at Holt Renfrew over the holidays and fell in love. A little tidbit about me, tortoise accessories are my weakness. My joy was short lived when I saw the $380 price tag. I'll have to ogle them from afar.  


{Lucite Tray}

A lucite tray has been on my wish list forever. They can bring modern elegance to any room. I'm not sure what pattern I'd like on the bottom. I think I'll wait until I move into my next place and redecorate! In the meantime, I've been looking through Dabney Lee and Etsy stores, like FlairDesigneryLLC, to get a better idea of what I like.

Cover Up

I've had my iPhone for about 4 months now but I'm still struggling to find a case that I absolutely LOVE. My roommate pinned an awesome site, society6, and I've been spending copious amounts of time looking through their iPhone cases. I need to make a decision ASAP.





Naturally, all the cases I like are completely different and have nothing in common.

Green Mango Salad



I was inspired to make this Green Mango Salad because of the unseasonably warm weather we've been having! This salad was so easy to throw together and will keep in the fridge for days. If you're going to try the salad, the recipe calls for coriander (cilantro), which I love, but make sure you like the taste before mixing it in. 




The prep time was about 40 minutes because of all the fine chopping but definitely worth it!

So Thankful!

I was so happy this morning on the way out my front door. For the first time in 3 months, I left for school in daylight!


This is my favourite time of year. The days are finally getting longer, which means no more depressing, dark mornings and being deprived of vitamin D. I'm so thankful the sun has returned to the northern hemisphere.

What I've Been Listening To


This week I've found myself reverting to some of my old favourites. I absolutely love Bon Iver and think Justin Vernon is an incredible musician. I've had Holocene, Hinnom, Tx, and Michicant, all from their second album, on repeat. 


The more I listened, I found myself missing some older their older stuff and turned on Blood Bank, Blood Bank EP. I love the ethereal sound of this love song.
