Surfer chic

The Hub surfs. He loves to surf. He just got laser eye surgery to make his surfing better. But I'm in my soft-core thirties and when I had the chance to learn alongside the Hub in New Zealand three years ago, I declined. But if I did surf, wouldn't this be really surfer chic? Found at a new favourite blog called Aubrey Road.

Wish list: Notebooks

Let's just pretend I am still in school and my mom told me I could buy three beautiful new notebooks to start the school year. I'd buy the following three from Poppytalk Handmade's current market.

Wish list: Key chain

A little Made in Canada nautically-inspired key chain found over @ Aubrey Road.

11-month mark

It has almost been a year. I am daydreaming of Slovenia and Croatia.

Cabin kitchen

If we owned a small cabin, this would be a lovely kitchen to have. Found via That Kind of Woman.

Deer Tick

The Hub and I unanimously agreed: being in T.O. affords us the luxury of seeing live music on any given night. Take Tuesday night for example: headed down to Queen West to the legendary Horsehoe to see Providence, RI, alt-rockers Deer Tick.

Travel inspiration: Packing your bags

Despite how much I've travelled - overseas or by land - I still always fret when it comes to packing. I just adore these sketches by the uber-creative lady over @ Bugheart. Her fine lines and organization guarantee just the right stuff will be packed.

Inspiration: A beach on a cloudy day

It is so hot in the city today. I wish I was at this beach, under a cover of clouds. Found via the inspiring That Kind of Woman.
