my new shoes

My sis was the fab finder of these babies, so I bought a pair too! I am happy I did because they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own now! (next to my gym shoes, that is...) They are black, soft leather and have flowers stitched in charcoal thread with a tiny rhinestone in the centre of the flower. Super cute!

stuffit bag

I'm back again! (Well, sort of, lol) It's been a very busy Summer this year, which is a good thing, keeps me on my toes!

Love these laptop sleeves from Stuffit Bag.
They come in really cool prints, and really are clothing for your laptop :)

I like what Globe and Mail has to say about them: "As far as laptop protectors go, Stuffitbags are more cozies than cases. Think of them as duvets for your Dell."

Vibrant hues of coral, white and cream are the colours of Caprice by House and Home. I love the relaxed yet whimsical look of this collection, very fresh and Summery.

Available at The Bay.

nokia n800 internet tablet

Flipping through and old issue of Popular Mechanics, read an article on the new Nokia N800. It's like an iPhone with a twist - and again you can do basically anything through Internet and Wi-Fi coverage! Tres cool, and the design is quite stylish to boot.

fab ikea finds

ps vallo watering can
charm ice cream scoop
plastis ice cube tray
rotera lantern for tealight
bastis dog toy

Love IKEA! I always find something (if not 10 things) when I go there. The classic ice cube trays are a must for summer entertainment, my fave are the long ones (like stir sticks) they go great in martini glasses.

let it rain

mushroom wonderland + moi

deer place + handsome pindot

It's a rainy, blustery day out today, but muchly needed. The grass is greener and the vibrant orange tiger lillies are shining through the grayness.

Based out of the rainy city of Seattle is pare * umbrella has some very funky + unique umbrella designs. I posted a few that caught my eye. I like 'deer place' the most.

Now, with all this umbrella talk, I have the 'umbrella' song stuck in my head! *sings* "you can stand under my umbrella...under my umbrella...ella ella eh eh eh..." and now you do too! ;) hehe

Have a bright + cheerful day!

elum letterpress

Back to the blogging world once again :) I had a nice four day break, we didn't do much of anything and it was as perfect as one could imagine! Did meet up with old friends for Promenade Days downtown and took a drive to the country (Thornton) for their famous fro-yo. Mmmm.

I came across Elum in my new issue of Style at Home this weekend. Beautiful letterpress stationery, invites, note cards and more with a modern twist. I am adding this site to 'my favourite things' links section :)
