My Curated Wardrobe

Breaking my blog radio silence (proper catch-up coming soon) to let you know we're buying a new home. We have loved & lived in our 2 bed & 2 bath condo for the past six years, and it's been the BEST! But we're ready for a little yard, our own garage, and a front porch for the important things - like pumpkins ;) oooh, and trick or treaters. Have missed that sooo much!

It's been a minute since I've popped in, but it feels great to be checking in & saying hi. Our weather has been getting SO warm, and summer feels so close I can taste it. We've been spending weekends out on our deck. Or, we've been heading out for a day of picnicking & exploring. It's been great! I also started a new Instagram account and plan on retiring my other one for now. If you feel so inclined? I'd love to have you follow - I'm still sharing my outfits, everyday life, and a little more on my new biz & online shop. The main reason I've been quiet on here!  Is it just me, or does food taste infinitely better outside? We celebrated Martin's birthday this past weekend with yummy vegan pizza, and a simple but very delicious salad. It was our fave meal of the season, and the perfect way to celebrate Martin's b-day!  And for good measure, a photo of our home from earlier this month. While I feature our home on my Insta stories often, I'm realizing I rarely do so here. I'm also realizing, that wow, I did not take many personal photos in May - absolutely need to change that. With that said, I'll see you in June with a "June Diary" post & more photos. Yay, can't wait! xo

Spring has sprung, and I'm SO here for it. The sunshine, and longer days are giving me life! Ok, on to important business first! Here's a link to MY TOP - it's the cutest & on sale. Plus, say hello to the most perfect weekend bag (US link or CAD link here). It's absolutely one to love, and I know you'll LOVE it too. You can choose different strap colours, or un-clip the straps and hold the handles for an evening bag look. Be sure to peek, the adorable lining is worth it alone!!

Yay. Finally! I was soooo excited to get a snowy adventure day! I've had these photos sitting in my brain for months - waiting, and waiting, for snow! And the weather gods finally delivered. We started the day with hot coffees, a visit to the ocean & an old-timey museum, and then headed to the forest for photos. It was perfect! And I had such a good health day that day too. Double yay! On the fashion front?! I recently added this Madewell beanie to my closet and I'm obsessed. As you can see, it's super cute & super cozy! But, I will say... while I absolutely had a blast giving one last nod to winter, I'm definitely counting down to spring and mild weather. Who's with me?!

I'm SO excited to finally be posting my vow renewal ring. It was honestly the most amazing & thoughtful surprise! And although I just might be biased - I'm convinced it's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!! I especially adore that it's filled with so much love, thought and sentiment. The centre stone is an ethically mined Oregon Sunstone and changes from a pink / red in low evening light, and shows more peachy / nude in the daylight. Just like the sun! It's also surrounded by ethically mined diamonds and set in yellow gold. And love that when Martin read our vows, he wove the meaning of the ring into it as a way to commemorate the day and remind us of the vows we made. I mean, seriously, so dang romantic!

While we kept our day simple in many ways (aside from Martin surprising me with the most beautiful ring), our day was rich in meaning, brimming with love, and honestly surpassed all my expectations. Our love has deepened so much over this past year and it feels as though we're starting new & fresh, and more in love than ever. I'm so thankful for that! And so grateful & proud of the wonderful man Martin strives to be. Relationships undoubtedly take work - but it's worth all the bumps when you know you're growing stronger & stronger, and make a great team. Excited to share a little bit of our day with you!
