Happy Friday + another gorgeous book!!

The week just flew by! Hope you're enjoying the lovely fall weather... Looking forward to a dinner with friends, catching up with an old friend visiting from New York and a bit of shopping for my new office decor...( more on that later.)

I almost fell off my chair with excitement this morning when I saw images from a new Kate Spade book Things We Love. How amazing is the layout? You can read an interview about the creation of this book here. (Um, this one is going FOR SURE on the Christmas wish list!)

Don't forget you can win a copy of J'Adore New York here! Have a great day!!

Vogue Japan + My Tuesday Essay in Globe & Mail

I received my first ever copy of Vogue Japan as a gift this week, and boy what a treat for the eyes it is!  These are pictures styled by the legendary Anna Della Russo, creative director for Japan Vogue. It appears from reading her blog that she's launching her own perfume in a shoe like bottle, what a hoot!

Also, I am sharing an essay I wrote for the Globe & Mail.  Hope you will enjoy reading it!
