Roses by the Numbers.

February 7, 2010 by bonjour chérie


One of my favorite flower shops in Toronto is Petals & Twigs. While perusing their website (again!) I found this lovely list of roses by the numbers- Did you know that giving 15 roses says I’m sorry? See below to find out which message of love you’d like to convey this Valentine’s day.

I can already dream up lunch dates, and days spent in the park while wearing these four outfits! Oh Spring, where art thou?

Montauk Sofa.

February 2, 2010 by bonjour chérie


I love these Montauk sofas- I’ve had my eye on one for over a year. There’s a Montauk Sofa store on King St. East in Toronto, and I often sit there much to the clerk’s dismay. To top it off, Canadian company Montauk Sofa is a carbon neutral company!

What are you planning for Valentine’s Day this year? The bf is coming home from a work trip in Europe, and so I’m hoping to try a new recipe for dinner. Some pretty Valentine’s Day inspiration below- I may just try the red velvet cupcakes!

I’m itching to get these pretty vintage postcards for my girlfriends this year.  I’m a fan of the Christmas ones that come out each year- In fact I’ve used them two years in a row now!

If I Were a Tree.

I’m hibernating, I’m sorry. Nothing like this very lovely video from Kat Burns and the Forest City Lovers to remind you that Spring is just around the corner (sort of!)

Dace: Spring 2010.

I know it’s only January, but I’m so incredibly excited for Spring already! Canadian designer Dace Moore has revealed her Spring 2010 line, and it’s beautiful.

Congratulations Julie.

My best friend Julie got engaged over the holidays- and I couldn’t be more excited for her and her fiancé Sachin. They’ve been dating for years (almost seven!) and are one of my favorite couples. Their wedding will be absolutely beautiful… Some early inspiration below- a gorgeous wedding photographed by Our Labor of Love.
