Rivendell Princess

Being around this building makes me feel like a true elven princess in Rivendell (yes, I am a LOTR nerd). I wish I lived nearer to it, I would be here every day. When I dress, not only do I dress for my mood, but what I might be doing as well as where I might be going on that day definitely factors in. In this instance, I thought a white tulle dress would be perfect. It definitely makes my pretending to be a princess more authentic, no?
Anywho, I get to travel home this weekend for a visit. I hope your weekend is lovely!

peterpan collars and sunshine

So many beautiful sights in the city! On this particular day, we visited my old campus at Ottawa University! It really is a beautiful campus, there are vines everywhere and I can't wait until they grow in ^.^ The weather has been a little off balance lately; one day it is hot and sunny and the next it is gloomy and rainy. We've been taking advantage of those sunny days and exploring as much as we can. When the sun is out, I automatically gravitate towards anything with a peterpan collar; there's just something about the combination of spring and peter-pan collars that fit perfectly...not to mention boater hats ;)

Well, I sincerely hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and may the adventures continue!

witching hour (pt.1

These photos jumped up the blog list for me. Gavin and I spent all morning in this beautiful forest we discovered yesterday! These photos don't do it justice though, everywhere you look there is an air of enchantment. So....I went a little photo crazy and this post is divided into 2 parts because I really couldn't decide which photos to post! 

However, the forest isn't the only thing to die for in this post, would you look at this dress! I was immediately in love when I saw it, and I've waited too long to wear it. Now that I have I'm pretty sure I won't stop. It's long sleeved but the crochet is light enough to wear throughout the summer ^.^

Anywho, just wanted to quickly share some of today's photos, I hope you all have an exciting weekend coming up!

what, oh, what does the future hold?

As a recent graduate (as well as someone with a lot of free time on their hands), I can't help but think often about my future. Where am I going? Where do I want to go? Am I taking the right steps to get there? I've always been goal oriented, growing up I was always sure of what I wanted and how my life was going to be. As you might have guessed, a lot has changed since then (including my major), and I'm finding myself in a completely different life scenario than I ever imagined. Yet I still wonder, what will I be doing at this time next year? Or five years from now? Life has become so unexpected for me, and to my surprise I'm loving every minute of it. I have no idea where I will be in five years, I have my passions and I will continue to pursue them to the very best of my abilities...but I also think it's important to remember that things don't always go as planned, and most of the time it's because you will end up in an even better place than you've imagined. Sometimes I need to remember to breathe and let things take their natural course, you know? I find my peace in nature...even in a city, where there is less than I am used to, Gavin and I have found small woods and large fields, tons of beautiful parks and are even finding beauty in the city streets among the planted gardens and old stone buildings^.^ It's truly been special living here so far.

I hope everyone is enjoying thier spring season!

poutine fest!

This past weekend was POUTINE FEST. For all you non-Canadian's poutine is a delicious combination of fries, cheese curds and gravy, mmmm. It was my first time experiencing something like this, and I'm glad I did. It was great! We went in the morning so it wasn't too busy, but there were trucks lined up for blocks with poutine mostly but pizza, donuts, ice cream and so many other treats. You will have to forgive my enthusiasm, I am a food enthusiast and truly had a magical day spent here. The poutine was great (especially the curds), Gavin had deep fried donuts which were apparently amazing and I literally had the best ice cream I've ever tasted! 

This is basically what a comfortable and casual outfit looks like for me (I'm rarely out of a dress, which I find to be more comfortable than pants anyway). Just a slouchy tee shirt and high-waisted denim shorts. These shorts were originally a pair of mom shorts I thrifted and went scissor happy with and ta-da, the best fitting high waisted shorts ever! I hope to find more before summer! Anyway, I hope you are all having a happy monday and have a lovely week ahead of you!
