LOOK OF THE DAY: tell me what we're chasing

I can't believe it's been nearly four months since Lindsay and I moved to Toronto! The time has gone by so quickly! With my internship at Flare coming to an end soon and the holidays fast approaching, I've already booked a flight home to Vancouver. I can't wait! If all goes as planned, I'll get to spend two weeks lying on the beach and sun tanning before I have to return to the chilly east. (Sun tanning... You know, in the rain.)

LOOK OF THE DAY: the punks are finally taking acid

I'm sorry it's been so long since I last posted! Moving to Toronto and getting settled into my new apartment has been keeping me a little busy! I've also been spending a great deal of time at Flare Magazine ever since I was granted their fashion editorial internship. Working with Fiona Green, the magazine's lovely Fashion Editor, has thus far proven to be both an exceptionally pleasant and insightful experience. I particularly enjoy having the opportunity to work within this industry that I love so very much in an area that doesn't necessarily rely so much upon my experience as a writer. Not that I don't enjoy writing! Quite the opposite. In fact, I will be posting a piece for the Vancouver Sun very soon. I'm just happy to be learning about something new - and that my beautiful white desk at Flare is by a window!

In other news, Lindsay and I will be launching a new blog to document our lives in the big city within the next month or so. While I can't yet talk about some of the projects we'll be working on (and writing about), I can tell you that I will be moving my fashion posts over from ad idem to the new website when it's finally up!

Summer in Montreal is beautiful, but I still can't help but long for the gentle tides of the Pacific Ocean. Fortunately my parents love me enough to have agreed to fly me across the country for a swim and I'm so looking forward to it! Montreal's Fashion Festival is also fast approaching, and sometime in August Lindsay and I have planned another trip to Toronto. The search for the perfect apartment begins!

Andrew and I move out of the apartment this weekend, so to celebrate our last shoot together in Montreal we played with various double exposure tricks in order to create the photos above. I think they turned out pretty cool! What do you think?

These are my favourite pair of blue jeans in the whole world right now. Though they aren't exactly the most flattering pants ever, they are perfect for warm summer afternoons spent sitting on top of grassy, sunlit hills in the park. Today I spent the day doing just that, laughing and talking with my friends about all the silly people around us and what a peculiar place we live in.
