New City Movement

My dear friend Jesse’s awesome blog is loaded with so much good content. Prepare to spend a significant chunk of time reading through great posts. My favourite things though are his designs for Nite Lite.

These girls are so cool. They have a huge library of makeup tutorials on their site/youtube. I have been watching way too many of them, maybe to fill in some girly company since I live so far away from my sister. They always looks classy and polished, whether its drag queen makeup or minimal everyday stuff.

A list of things I love that cannot be fully enjoyed on the internet

  • chocolate
  • coffee
  • picnics
  • swimming
  • books
  • French Toast Foolishness at the Park Cafe

This online store is so great. The site design is well done and all of the clothes are beautiful.  Muted colours + long drapy tops + skinny jeans = Laura. :)

It has been almost two years since I moved from Canada to the US. I did it for my husband—worth it. But there are many customs and things I miss.

  • taking your shoes off when you come in the door
  • Cadbury chocolate bars
  • three feet of fluffy snow for Christmas
  • public health care
  • May 24 weekend
  • Zellers
  • Tim Hortons — I don’t like the coffee but I like doughnuts!
  • a salad bowl of people instead of a melting pot
  • decriminalized marijuana
  • gay marriage across the nation!
