style // whale & wasp turns one!

Hey dolls! So sorry I've been away for a few days, but I've been planning big things! As you can see, it's my first blog birthday, or blogaversary - whatever you want to call it. It's been one year since my first post, and wow has the blog ever grown. I am so proud of what it's become, even though I am still a tiny speckle in the bloggersphere. I didn't think I'd ever get this far and keep at it.

Today is a big hurraw, to celebrate how I've challenged myself, quit procrastinating and most importantly, gained self confidence. This time last year, I would have never taken photos of myself like this and posted them on the internet. I've always been too shy, and too convinced that my body wasn't worthy of sharing. I still have a lot to learn and more growing to do, and I am really excited to share it with all of you. It's nice to have finally let go and not take myself so seriously.

Thank you so much to everyone who has stuck around, read my posts, shared with their friends and helped my blog grow! And lastly, if you haven't noticed yet, I've completely revamped the blog and I think it suits me more and is easier to navigate for everybody. What do you think?

P.S What do you get when you mix long hair, a short skirt and balloons with high winds? One hell of a time, that's for sure!

 

style // it's too cold for this

It's been a week of Spring, and I'm calling mother nature's bullshit. Pardon my language, but could we PLEASE be rid of this snow already?! Usually I love winter and don't mind that its our longest season in Canada, but this winter just seems to be dragging on, and it's SO cold. Either that or I'm getting too old for the cold, because it's been almost unbearable lately (hence why most of these photos I have my coat on! Brrrr) But of course, leave it to me to drag people out to the coldest place in town, Denny's Dam. Luckily for me, Carrie and Jesse (Below. Can you tell they're cousins?) didn't mind grabbing some Timmies and taking a little hike with me. Clementine didn't mind either, but really, what husky would?  Coat, Cardigan // Modcloth Top, Camisole, Jeans // Forever 21+ Boots (few years ago) // Roxy Necklace // Handmade Scalloped Clutch // Vintage via Emma Deer's Closet Nails // Essie in Bikini So Teeny

The winter blues can really take a toll on you, and dreams of summer seem so far away. It's even worse when you're a two minute walk from the shore and you wait months for the lake the thaw. Oh well. It gives you lots of time to dream up this year's beach attire!
