With the days of summer fleeting and a cooler breeze in the air, I am looking forward to the slow transition into autumn.  Long walks during sunset with spiced lattes in hand always make the fall one of my favourite times of the year - not to mention the amazing fashion that the season brings!  

I have been fortunate to have the summer off spending leisurely days doing all of the things I've always wished I'd had the time for.  Late (and long) breakfasts, reading at the park, organizing, painting (and sketching) as well as some upcoming photography projects that are in the works.  

'A relaxed mind is a creative mind' as my Yogi Tea so simply put it yesterday.   So for now, it's back to blogging & enjoying the abundance of inspiration online and, of course, savouring the final weeks of summer.

xo love,

jolie

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

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.

The Beautiful Rachel Weisz ~ British Vogue

I am absolutely loving this spread of Rachel Weisz from January's Vogue UK!  The 60s vibe and amazing locations pair so nicely with the ice cream colour palette. 

This little Louis Vuitton cotton sundress is following me everywhere I turn and its keeping my hopes up for a warm summer to come and long lunches in the sunshine.

Saving the best for last ~ how stunning is this hazy and completely glamorous shot?!  The colours, those gorgeous cigarette pants, the make-up!  Ah!  Love, love, love.
