Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

We finally had the chance to spend the Remembrance Day long weekend as a family. My momma came in to visit us briefly on Sunday. We picked out a vintage style dress pattern as she will be making me a dress to wear to my work Christmas party in January. THEN Cyrus mom made a spontaneous decision to come visit us from Vancouver. She stayed until yesterday afternoon and we had a fantastic time. She is the only mother besides my own that I feel completely comfortable around. Ben is as beautiful as always and seemed pleased to be showered with love and gifts from his Grammys all weekend.

Home Is Where The  Is

We recently moved which I could use as an excuse for my lack of posts... We finally left our old three floor, three bedroom duplex behind and moved across the street to a beautiful single floor two bedroom.  Moving into a smaller heritage house with hardly any closet space meant that I had to get rid of close to half my wardrobe. I made $100 cash and accumulated over $400 worth of store credit around town. I've picked up a few gems since the move... 
My collection of fashion hardcovers, vintage hairstyling and street style books survived the move. After finally getting a new (or rather old) coffee table, our diamond has found a home. My father bought this solid oak table for my mom back in the 80's and she dug it out of storage last week and we gave it a nice new stain. It feels right to have something from their love in my home. 

Mirror selfies in walmart because I don't own a full length mirror. Shocking, I know.

My fiancé is gorgeous and there is no shame in claiming that. Good god YES.

Autumn is by far the most beautiful season. I love everything about it, especially the fog and the way the air smells.

C H A M P A G N E    B I R T H D A Y!

I am officially twenty-four years old. My old friend and I are both born on the 24th only I'm exactly nine months older. We use to say that twenty-four would be the best year. Keep in mind this is back when we were seven and eight years old. So lets toast to everyone who's born on the 24th day of the month. To everyone who still has that hopeful child inside of them. To all the people who are celebrating their champagne birthday and lastly to all the people starting something new. I'm one year older, moving, and I'm a snake in the year of the snake. Bring it on.


I had an amazing birthday filled with amazing people. I spent the majority of the day with my new found love Sara. We drove to my mommas, shared laughs and some delicious vegan walnut brownies with coffee strong enough to give you a heart attack. We shopped around the town I grew up in as a teenager. Sara bought me a dress that I'll later share on here as well as some adorable kitty socks! My mom got me a modern jacket thats wool and tweed. I really needed something warm that I can wear with leggings and Nike's when I'm at work. I have a large collection of vintage jackets so it slightly hurts my soul to cheat on those but I found one I can work with. PLUS, I'm going to add some black vintage buttons to it. Sneaky Sneaky.

Leopard sheer button up: Vintage thrifted @ Value Village

S U N D A Y    F U N D A Y 

We've been spending Sundays quite casually as of late. Ben has a cold so we spent the majority of our time inside which wasn't too bad considering the on again off again downpours. We had a quick coffee date with Ben's Nanna Kate and our neighbour Mike (random, I know) I'm not actually certain but I don't believe there to be a family photo of the three of us. It's always either Cyrus and Ben or Ben and I. I'm pleased with how it turned out minus the fact that I had under 15 minutes to get ready and my hair was wet when we left the house. I'm learning to say fuck it to those things though and just roll with it because in the end, frizzy hair doesn't matter. At the end of the day the only thing that truly matters is the love that we share and the moments we gathered that day.

Friday 13th.
What has changed in the past month? We found out that our duplex unit was being sold and that we have to find a new place to live. I had mixed emotions but everything turned out positive for us. We were given a free month of rent and on top of that we are moving directly across the street into the house of our (my) dreams! We move in just under two weeks and I'll keep you updated with photos once we're situated. Two other new beginnings, one being that I coloured the ends of my hair red and eventually hope to end up blue. Secondly, Benjamin started his first year at elementary school!! Kindergarten is incredibly cute and he's made three friends in the first week.

Retro floral dress: Thrifted @ The WIN

Rings: Vintage costume, Thrifted @ Value Village
