Sadly, my attempt at sewing a romper from pattern didn't go as planned and it's left me a little disheartened.  However, tomorrow I may just pick up a pretty fabric I like (that has a bit of stretch and drape) to make something that resembles this beauty.

It's a beautiful piece from Ruche that I discovered through A Beautiful Mess, a new blog I have been following.  It really is very cute and summer-y.

What are some of your favourite summer fashion finds this season?

Comforting and tasty.  Lemon-y with a hint of vanilla, and caffeine-free.  This tea by Tealish is DELISH!  Yes, I did that.  How corny can I get?  Terrible question.  Allonz-y!

Lemon Meringue tea is a blend of  red and green rooibos, lemon peel, vanilla bits, natural lemon flavouring and flower blossoms  I adore this tea iced and sweetened with raw cane sugar, but it is very soothing as a hot tea as well.  Very reminiscent of a freshly baked lemon meringue pie.

Due to a very busy weekend with myself, I left my stitching aside and took a trip downtown for the West elm/Etsy pop up event.

Firstly, I haven't been that far on King Street before in all the years I've live in Toronto.  It's very quiet and the weather (after our thunderstorm that morning ) was beautiful.  It's motivated me more to look around that neighbourhood for a future apartment!  As I walked up the steps and into West Elm, the scene just exploded with people!  I loved how the Etsy sellers were scattered all around the store with tiny booths on top tables, bed, sofas, and shelves.

For awhile now I have been following the adventures of some Torontonian ladies via their blogs.  I love reading about people's lives in the city I live in because it inspires me to discover my own city.

This weekend after the WE heart handmade art event, organized by Anabela of Fieldguided, I will be exploring some small shops she has featured like Robber, Bicyclette, and The Coriander Girl.  A visit to a favourite Starbucks of mine to drop off a yummy basil plant to a friend too!  Now all I have to do is try resisting this beautiful bags by Opelle.  If anyone see's this and happens to be going to the same event, please say hi! :)

I'm sure it will be a very eventful day.  I think I'll end it with a trip to Tealish for a new tea.  Look forward to a feature.
