Monkeys and Snakes on the side of the road and pretty dresses

So I just back from India - that's why I've been neglecting this blog. Two of my favorite moments was choosing the fabric to have 2 beautiful dresses made for the wedding we attended and running into a snake charmer and monkeys that do tricks on the side of the road...

These guys ran the fabric shop where I made my purchase - there was so many beautiful colours and patterns to choose from it was hard!

I got this one for the party on the night before the wedding, and the one below was for the wedding itself.

We went to the Taj Mahal too - I had to put this picture in. Being there was like being in a post card...

If the beat's alright she'll dance all night

The Tiki Lounge is undeniably an epicentre of the Halifax music scene. Stompin Tom Connors' pedal board hung on the wall and yet-to-be-released albums played loudly over head. With such a warm, interesting and inviting atmosphere - you'd have no idea we were in a shed in the North End at 20 degrees below zero outside.

I'd heard about this place but never been prior to this night - great local discovery.

Ode to Frye

Just got a pair of Frye boots from the fiance for Christmas. I'm a little obsessed with them... I wanted them for months. It was totally worth the wait. Classic.

Found lots of awesome photogphaphs from others who obviously love thier Frye's too

an add from 1983

Oh snap!
I love everything about these outfits...

New Year = New Blog

Happy New Year!

I am excited to start off my new year with a new blog. I've recently discovered some fantastic blogs, inspiring me to start one of my own. I plan to write about my interests and any fun discoveries that pop up in life. I must say I am excited!

I love reading magazines and enjoy it when I can support home-grown media by purchasing Canadian magazines. Sadly 2008 saw the end of one of these magazines - the print edition of wish magazine. Although wish can still be read online, it makes me sad to loose the print version. I loved it how wish combined three things I love into one magazine: fashion, cooking and home decor. Ckeck it out online.
Final cover (sniff...)

Despite this, another cool and fairly new (I think they have been publishing for a year) Canadian magazine is Naked Eye. I picked it up for the first time last month and enjoyed it cover to cover. Its smart and funny with lots of articles on style, music and pop culture. I discovered two fun fashion blogs while reading Naked Eye: Style Bubble and The Glossy.
