Fishtail How-To

As someone who loves fishtail braids, but always assumed they were impossibly complicated, I had to share this cute little how-to by Munich + Jeff favorite Emily over at Cupcakes and Cashmere. Turns out, the fishtail is surprisingly manageable.....even for the hair-styling challenged like myself :S

Nuit Blanche '11

Well it's happened, I'm officially a Torontonian. Which amongst other things has meant that I have been without the internet for an entire week (and dying, obviously), so posts that I was in the middle of have been temporarily abandoned, and coverage of last weekend's Nuit Blanche has had to wait until...now. As a former Art History major spending her first Nuit Blanche in the big city and living squarely in the middle of Zone A, you might expect that I was bright-eyed and eager to hit the streets for the all-night art affair, but you would suspect wrong. A full day of moving from one city to the next left this girl ready to call it a day at the uncharacteristically early hour of 9:00 pm. Thank goodness for photographs.

Hair Idol: Whitney Port

Loving my new low-lights (which to be honest are super-subtle) has me all gung-ho about darker hair lately. I'm always grumpy about how damaging maintaining blonde hair is, and I think that jumping aboard the ombré bandwagon might be a good way to go longer between touch-ups and help my hair actually grow. Whitney Port does the look perfectly; not too much shocking contrast where the colours meet, just pretty, natural-looking gradation.

Bon Appétit

I'm about to out my inner nerd here....but as someone who eats on a more than regular basis, I love the idea of this poster of a Hobbit's daily eating schedule (oh yeah, that was a Lord Of The Rings reference) blown-up and framed in a kitchen. Elevensies anyone?
