Into the Meadow...

These photos were taken spur of the moment while strolling through the park... I wasn't necessarily prepared for them, but we were so taken by the lovely scenery that we really couldn't resist. Doesn't it just look like the dreamiest autumn backdrop? Not that I'm complaining about all the lovely weather we've finally been having, but all that golden grass made me yearn for the days of warm layers, deep hues and textured tights... Does that make me sound crazy? Maybe. But the grass is always greener on the other side.

Memory Lane...

I found this dress at the back of my closet, and doing so was like opening up a time warp or something... I had bought it yeeearrs ago, and loved it so much that I wore it to many an occasion. From nights out on the town (I had way more of those back then) to bestie-birthday parties where tails were actually pinned donkeys, this dress was there. So naturally rediscovering this old friend brought back a ton of memories... And at the end of the day, isn't that what fashion is all about? Expressing yourself while building the story of your life, one garment at a time.

Print Mixer...

Hi loves! I'm writing this post at warp speed before heading to Vancouver for the weekend... I'm not even packed or dressed yet, and I have an 11am date with the ferry (it's 9:30!), so needless to say I'm in a bit of a hurry. Anyway, I'll leave you with some pics taken last week on a lazy, frozen yogurt-filled afternoon... Enjoy your weekends!!! xx

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a nice, productive Thursday afternoon... I myself am trying to make my way through an ever-expanding to do list, so here's hoping I have something to show for myself by the end of the day!

Anyway, my lovely and talented friend Adria shot these pics for me last weekend, giving Mr. AIF a nice little break from photo-duty. We decided to use this lovely old heritage home as a backdrop (thankfully no one minded!), and had a lot of fun goofing around... What can I say, girls will be girls!

I bought this dress several months ago, but had only worn it once before to a blogger meet-up in Edmonton. I love the print and the crazy colours, which seem more subdued in the photos than they actually are, and the detail around the neckline makes my heart pitter-patter... Hey, it's the simple things in life, right?
