The photo-shoot pictures just keep coming! That’s because when you shoot with Jamie Lauren, you get more than one outfit, you get outfit changes. Telling a fashion blogger she gets multiple outfit shots is like telling your boyfriend he can watch sports all Sunday. Giddiness! (Or telling a hipster there’s more than one dive bar in this back alley, or telling a newscaster about the brand new bottles of hairspray in their dressing room, or telling a shop-a-holic there’s an extra 20% off the sale price, or telling a party-girl you know the bouncer, or… I could go on.)
Have a FAB-TASTIC weekend!

Apartment update: I’ve mentioned here and there that George (boyfriend), and I are moving and soon to be cohabitating, or as he jokingly called it last night, “the amalgamation.” How utterly unromantic. What’s also unromantic is the amount of painting we are doing, and have yet to do. The walls of our new home started out a distasteful peachy-apricot color (the light fixture pictured is GOING), are now a messy white (primed for painting) and by the end of today will be a fresh white (hopefully). And then soon, soon, soon, much to George’s manly delight, my mirrored tables and crystal lamps shall arrive at our new home! Yay!
{ I instagramed this yesterday afternoon, I was rather bored of priming. }
It’s not everyday I get in front of a camera and make aim to strut my stuff, oh wait, yup, yes I do do that nearly everyday! But it isn’t everyday that I get to dress up in whatever I want and play in front of a professional camera with the oh-so-amazing Jamie Lauren! I gave a little sneak peak earlier on instagram here!

With this impending new year comes the opportunity to redefine yourself! This is what I love about a new year, there’s something rather satisfactory about the idea of a fresh start. Deciding to re-organize your life or take on a new look is somehow less exciting in say, October. (Although, September does have a bit of the same allure, as Candy Pratts Price famously said in The September Issue: “September is the January of fashion.”) And so, I’m going to spend the next few days thinking about what I want my life to look like in 2012. I’ll start now:
1. I am going to commit to staying with an exercise routine. A classic example, yet somehow so hard to maintain! But having a job that entails sitting at a computer all day encourages the pounds to hit and stick, particularly around the waist and hip regions. Pounds be gone this new year!
2. I will be proactive with new ideas and get them going immediately, not sit them on a shelf in my brain where they will inevitably be lost. An idea is just never as good a month later. Maybe they have shelf lives.
3. I would like to write a book. I don’t know about what (there’s a mother of a problem) and I don’t know if it’ll really be my strength, but I have always dreamt of writing a book. I’m going to have to sit myself down and start scribbling.
4. I will NOT leave the house in sweat pants this new year. Now, it only happened a handful of times, but nonetheless it is unacceptable. I will not give up my Uggs though.
5. I will not procrastinate. Yeah right – that’s setting myself up for failure. Okay, I will procrastinate less! And not on the important things. I will be aggressive, be, be aggressive.
6. I will read more books (both novels and real-life accounts) so as to broaden my worldly knowledge and increase my vocabulary.
There we have it so far, the list that I hope will keep me in check in 2012 and make it a big, very-accomplishing type of year! Tell me, what have you got on the agenda books for 2012??
A little while ago I mentioned that Jamie Hodge and I went down to Kits to shoot some photos, well, here they are! Jamie is ridiculous with a camera, and by ridiculous I mean amazing. Check out her other work here!
Wearing: Zara cape, plaid shawl from Winners, Wilfred wool dress, H&M tights, Aldo wedges, vintage locket necklace purchased from a street vendor in SoHo, NYC and sunnies from H&M.
These photos were taken a little while ago, maybe early February when even the sun couldn’t warm the chilly air. Being down at the beach on such a crisp, gorgeous day was glorious, and all the more fun to play and snap photos! Jamie and I experimented with some jumping photos (you know the ones, Vogue is infamous for the “casual jump-and-pose” photos). I haven’t seen any of those yet, though realistically my attempt was probably more akin to a flail than a jump-and-pose. I’m no Caroline Trentini, after all. (That’s a September Issue reference right there – the model who was jumping with the camera man, I believe his name was Bob.) Nonetheless, when said photos do surface, they’ll show up here right away.
And did I mention that Marie has a penchant for avant garde head gear?
Truth is, my little cone head was recently spayed. And she was such a good girl through the whole ordeal. Meal time was a challenge though, Marie couldn’t figure out how to maneuver her plastic cone around the food dish, so every morning we had breakfast together…
But the little miss is back to her happy self now! And sans head gear.
Best be off now, come visit us again soon,

Mid-December photographer Jamie Hodge and I made a special trip to Squamish in search of locations exactly like this. The weather was ideal for the mood of the photos. My favourite part of the day? Aside from running around the yard shooting with Jamie, was our drive up, Jamie and I always have a great chats.
Wearing: JNBY navy sweater, vintage faux leather pants, black knee-high suede boots from NYC’s fashion district. Mussed hair courtesy of Squamish’s rainy weather.

Tuesday afternoon Jamie Hodge and I ventured up to Squamish for some photography. Well, she did the photography and I did the climbing and playing over parked trains, old tracks and the occasional slippery rock in high heels. The parts of Squamish we chose really were beautiful messes, from the old train yard to a mucky look out point that we navigated as the sun quickly set. Above is the first photo I’ve seen from our little trip, many more to come! I just love her style, see more at Jamie Lauren Photography!
Wearing: JNBY wool sweater.
Back soon,
