when the party's over

Originally featured in The Huffington Post, this series was a collaboration with writer Christine de Leon and an exceptional creative team for an article titled “Treasure Vintage in the Age of Austerity.” This photo series, When the Party’s Over, asks the question: ‘When is enough enough?’ It’s a tongue-in-cheek, high fashion way of questioning our culture’s over-consumption and excessive desires.

on the eve of a new year

    

Wishing you a wonderful evening as you ring in the new year. Here's to new beginnings and incredible adventures. May tomorrow bring the excitement of a fresh start and the reflection of days gone by. All the very best.

xoxo love,
jolie

P.S. Here are a few of the photos from the masquerade shoot I did with the stunningly beautiful Danielle & Stephanie.

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

summer adventures

The other day, after a perfect evening of short films and dinner with friends, we stumbled upon some sidewalk salsa.  A local salsa club was holding a dance party in the middle of the street just as the night set in.  And, of course, the only thing to do in that situation is... well, dance!  It is time to spend the warm days (and nights) savouring the outdoors and seeking new adventures.  Let the summer linger for a little longer by finding some spontaneity in each day. Whether it's enjoying a bike ride (or a Vespa ride), late lunches on a garden patio, picnics by the water or simply a book with a blanket on the grass.  Let these summer days be full of cherished moments.  And always make time to dance in the streets.

xoxo love,

jolie

It finally feels like the new season is upon us. The rain showers have brought May flowers and as we welcome the new month I wanted to share a sneak preview of some of my photos from a beautiful video shoot for Paria Lambina Spring/Summer 2011. {visit my Flickr page for more}

Hope you're enjoying the weekend. xoxo

photography project

                 

I recently had the honour of shooting Comrags Spring 2011 collection for a very lovely online magazine Heron of Style.  A day sprinkled with old Hollywood glamour in the historic Gladstone Hotel.  We had an amazing time!  I wanted to give you a sneak peek of some of the photos but there will be more coming very soon. 

xoxo love,

Sunny Sundays

 Spending a day off in Toronto's Kensington Market is the perfect way to leisurely get ready for the week ahead.  Shopping at the organic markets, browsing (and perhaps buying) a little vintage and maybe even doing a little laundry.

 It always makes for an intriguing day of delicious treats, spontaneous adventures and lots of fashion inspiration.  A must for everyone visiting the city!

 xoxo love,

jolie
