It’s beautiful out. Drink water. Wear sunscreen. Believe in yourself.
Greatness.
Went to the public pool last night. I didn’t go in. Drove around location scouting in a car that’s for a Puma commercial shooting today. Convertible cruising, ILU.
Had my first ever shellac mani/pedi at 1BodyBar. It felt like vacation.
Went for a massive walk this morning. Ate McDonalds. (Massive walk ok! Haha) Feeling alive and ready for an awesome day.
Life is short, seize the day my friends! Have fun 🙂
Next month from August 9-19th is SummerWorks Festival which features Canadian music including Buck 65 & Hawksley Workman and an array of performances picked by a jury. I’ll be blogging a bunch of festival things, doing some interviews, and attending all kinds of stuff.
Did you know what I love theatre. I was in the Sears Festival, played a hot box girl in Guys & Dolls, and did a few plays in high school. I love the stage, what can I say?
Tomorrow night is the Summer Soireé and I would love to see you there.
Dinner is hosted by award-winning playwright and actor, Michael Healey and takes place at the Great Hall. Purchase a ticket here.
It’s an elegant three-course meal prepared by chefs Mark Cutrara + Alexandra Feswick (who are on the cusp of opening their new Samuel J Moore Restaurant on the main floor of the Great Hall). Apps and cocktails will be served at 6:00pm and the meal at 7:00. Semi-formal attire.
Let me know if you’ll be there. Love to see some familiar faces & meet some new ones 🙂
* Photos shot with my brand new Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1 that arrived Monday! Weeeeee!
I’d never been to Ford Field. Lots of history here. Home to the Detroit Lions and with it’s 1920’s architecture, has a real street that runs right through it. I’m more of a cheerleader than a football player. Clearly.
Bellbottom blue jeans & stripe top from 3F, neon belt is vintage
Darling from South Africa, Alix Rose Cowie. She sang us a lullaby in Afrikaans the next night. She also interviewed Die Antwoord for 10and5 magazine in ZA.
Bill Ford is a really rad dude. He went against the grain for Ford Motor Company really pushing for innovation & eco-sustainability.
250 journalists attended this conference representing media from around the world.
All meals together. Breakfast the next day was fun because I met my new boyfriend right after…
Now my most popular Instagram. He’s charming.
Later in the day we went to this really rad place called TechShop and we made stuff. I made a pewter star and frosted beer mug with a huge ‘C’ on it.
This clock was one of my fav parts.
in case you forgot…
Walked two hours today running into people in the streets between work meetings. I love this city. Amazing how rejuvenated a quick getaway makes you feel.
Arroved home to a brand spankin’ new Olympus PEN camera. It’s E-PM1, a mini DSLR style camera. The lenses from my other camera’s fit it and i can’t wait to snap some new shots this week. Sadly it’s time to return my Hamilton watch I had on ong term loan. Glasses are those cat eye ones by Derek Cardigan for Clearly Contacts. Blue bracelet was made by Katiya.
Incredible time at the cottage. So Canadian, beers, beards, lake, loons, concert at sunset, Tragically Hip. Sunshine, sun love. Best friends. Thank you Sean’s family for having us up. Thanks to my friends at Durex & Canadian Club for the tickets. Romanced by nature. Incredibly relaxed.
And Trevor got attacked by a beaver. On Canada Day! Hahahahahaha.
Bon weekend!
