Mon Bon’s Patesserie

The conclusion to B’s birthday week was nothing short of dope. Because she is absolutely obsessed with candy and cakes and ice-creams, I felt it would be completely suiting for her to have her very own pop-up Patesserie shop! And of course, a surprise to boot. Complete with hard and soft candies, mini cupcakes and …

The LBD

Although you know the very namesake of this blog is based on the stark opposition to rules, norms, standards and the status quo, once in a while, its truly exciting to take an age old classic and embrace it. Not make it your own, not tweak it, but just dive deep into it. This past …

I Give Up!

The past three weeks of planning, lying, scheduling, confirming, re-planning, re-confirming, re-scheduling, ordering, deciding, choosing, re-re-confirming and then trying to execute a succinct flow of events for my girl’s birthday have been exhausting. Not to sound too First-World-Problems-y, it really does seem that the more selfish approach of “lets just go for a nice dinner, …

Grad ’06

To think that I witness my baby brother both turn 18 and then graduate from high school, in one short week, is mind-boggling. I still distinctly remember getting ready for my grad banquet; how young my little siblings were then, how innocent and naive they were. Back then, they were not relatable to me, no …

Barely Legal

Last weekend, my baby brother turned 18 years old. I suppose subjectively, he really is barely legal, considering in the province of Alberta, he can now legally drink, buy cigarettes, gamble and vote, but in the rest of Canada, he has to wait another year until he is 19. Interesting how societal norms differ even …

Summer Prints

Sandals, Shorts, Shirt and Jacket: H&M, Bag: LOUIS VUITTON, Shades: DIOR HOMME, Watch: GUCCI A romper? A jumpsuit? Nah, just some pretty basic print-on-print I threw together last Saturday. Throw in a pair of shades, some classic mandals and the signature leather jacket, and bam, you’re done. You’re welcome. ———————————————

Summer Essential

T-Shirt: MADE IN HELL-A, T-Shirt: BRIAN LICHTENBERG I’m sorry but what’s not to love in these cheeky, satirical plain tees. These seemingly underground brands obviously picked their cue from the designer-priced basic logo tee shirts from Burberry and Gucci, and more recently, Celine and Givenchy. To me, these shirts are the somewhat conceited dudes at …

Shoes: ASOS, Shorts: DIESEL, Tank: URBAN, Jacket: DIESEL BLACK GOLD, Hat: ALDO Although it has seemed like such a long winter, this year really wasn’t too bad or too harsh as far as snow, ice and sleet were concerned. But regardless, anyone that knows me knows how quick I am to jump on the shorts …

Lilac Festival

The annual Lilac Festival in Calgary, which is hosted along our street, is said to launch the myriad of Calgary street festivals, and is named after the Lilac flowers which symbolize the start of Spring. Since we heard the festivities last year from the comfort of our bedroom window, we decided to grab some friends …
