7 Things: Roses, 20’s Style, Girl Crush

red roses

I am a bit obsessed with roses this summer. I would love to grow some in my little balcony space in the future. I am assuming that it might be too late in July so maybe next summer? I love how the red roses contrasts against the pale blue-grey colour of the house in the back. This was taken in Toronto on King Street near Leslieville.

More roses from the Leslieville neighbourhood.

Roses from the Spadina Museum garden.

1920's gatsby party

Modern 1920’s garb at the Spadina Museum Gatsby party. I love the look of red and black against light skin tones. She looked fantastic!  You can view pictures from the party here. They had Combo Royale play really cool jazz tunes at the event. T and I are now fans!

vanessa paradis

My girl crush Vanessa Paradis. Love her quirky style, love her voice, love her ex….need I say more?

ngoc

Speaking of girl crushes. This is N. She’s got a cool, effortless style. I want to raid her closet. Haha.

7 Things: French Decor, Mood Board, Still Life, Framed Art, Clam Shell, Sunday Dinner

shabby chic french decor

A little inspiration. This is from a store in Toronto (Chatelet?) that sells shabby chic french inspired decor. The love chair in the back is so adorable. I made out mademoiselle and Dec 19th, unfortunately my francais is a bit on the rusty side so I am unable to decipher the other words.

mom and daughter

Beautiful mom and daughter combo, DP and TC. Taken at our friend’s wedding. I love the chains that DP wore. Her whole look was classic with a bit of funk/punk?  And TC was such a pretty flower girl.

wedding mood board

Pretty wedding/inspiration mood board. I think the white frame takes it up a notch. This is a project that I’ve added to my list of to-do’s. It just makes getting inspired so much more fun.

fruit still life

Simple objects with lot’s of impact. Natural and bold at the same time. This was from a kitchen nook at a friend’s house. An artsy and stylish graphic designer..aren’t they all?  I am big on beautiful, functional pieces so I charmed when I saw this.

vintage picture frames art

There is a vendor at The St. Lawrence Sunday Antique Market that sells vintage framed pictures. The painting with the black hair and greenish face interesting. Kind of like a Lautrec for kids. It reminds me of a clown who is off duty on a smoke break. I think my friend NV would dig it.

clam place card

I thought that this was neat place card idea. It is from a restaurant called Cha Cha Chicken in Santa Monica. Use clam shells to label food or as individual place cards for your guests. Makes me want to throw a fun clambake!

simple dinner setting

Another pretty and simple table setting at my MIL’s. She really makes the best things for her family and I am lucky to be a part of it.

7 Things: Notes, Pink Flowers, King Koopa, Balzac’s, Jars, Moon, Red Bow

 

handwritten notes

Little scribbles from girly friends.

pink flowers

Flowers from my mum-in-law’s garden. She has such a lovely garden filled with peonies and lavander. I love going there when the flowers are out in bloom.

Of course, we can’t forget King Koopa a.k.a Mr. Marshmallow Man

balzac's

Coffee weekend break at Balzac’s at the Distillery District with my sister. This was taken at the top of the stairs. See the blonde guy in the white shirt? My sister kept on insisting that it was Chris Hemsworth’s long lost cousin.

glass jars

Kitchen shelf contents at The Mackenzie House. I love the pretty jars!

elgin winter garden theatre moon

The moon at the Elgin Winter Garden Theatre. One of the last Edwardian-style theatres in the world. Imagine getting dressed up to the nines to attend live performances back in the day? It must have been something back then. I sometimes wish that we retained that sense of formality in our modern times.

A wedding gift surprise wrapped in a shiny, bold and big red bow from artistic photographer Yianni Tong.
