borders.

I love borders. 

August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know. 

Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. 

The border is longing; when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. 

The border is to be the way. 

It is the way that is the most important thing.

- Tove Jansson 

This hit me square between the eyes this AM. Have a wonderful Sunday friends. 

top5.

I've been blessed to have so many cool things, people and events happening around me. Here are a few of my Top 5 picks for August 2014: 

Summer Whites. 

With denim, in a dress of with your favourite pair of sunnies. Summer whites are just, the best. 

Chill Winston. 

Hands down, one of my favourite places to eat, drink and hang out on a patio in Gastown. 

The Lovers Cabaret presents: Lovers of Queen auditions. 

Audition for the next show in the Icon Series! Sunday, September 7, 10:30AM at Harbour Dance Center. More information available here. 

Iggy Azalea, "Black Widow". 

Song, video and the girl of the moment. 

Robin Williams. 

"I stand upon my desk to remind myself we must constantly look at things in a different way." - Robin Williams, Dead Poets Society. 

Rest in Peace. 

obstacles.

"There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. 

There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way. 

There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; 

who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on." 

- Unknown

Happy August my dears. 

 This is my favourite time of the year - the last true month of summertime freedom, warmth, staying up too late, long walks and weekend getaways. 

There are a few things on my desk that I'll be sharing soon, so my blogette may be a touch quiet (especially over the long weekend). Never fear, I'll be back before you know it! 

Enjoy the long weekend. 

sofia.

I just found the pictures of one of my favourite directors, Sofia Copploa, wedding this past August in Italy. Love her blue cocktail dress and how easygoing and natural the lighting and appearance of the newlyweds in the pictures.

This is short, looks nothing short of a lovely Sofia or Francis Ford Coppola film. J'adore.
