Up and Down the Faris Wheel


This past weekend the fair came to town (not my current town, my previous one...which is part of the reason I traveled home). The weather was perfect for it, and we arrived early enough so that there were not many lineups, etc. Plus there's just something about Faris wheels that screams "summer's here!" and perhaps that's why I cannot resist them.It was also the perfect opportunity to wear this carousel dress that I came across on e-bay by sheer stroke of luck. The pattern and color are perfect for a day at the fair ^.^

Precious Moments


I thought it was about time for another precious moments post, as my computer is over-flowing with photos. Since moving here, every day is an adventure (and I carry my camera to capture some favorite moments or sights). I've been exploring museums, abandoned buildings, woods and the city streets! Some of these I will be posting about more in depth, but here are just a few of some favorite moments I've had so far ^.^

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!
