Bluffer's Beach
Friday, August 24, 2018
That awkward moment when you find out that there is a pretty nice beach approximately 30 minutes away from your house. No seriously, right smack in the middle of the GTA there is a little piece of paradise at the base of Toronto's most famous hiking spot; Scarborough Bluffs . Yeah, you can imagine my surprise last week when I thought I was going to hike to the top of the Bluffs only to end up at the beach. The real kicker is that I forgot to pack a swimsuit and as one can expect, with September fast approaching, that would most likely be my first and last trip to the beach this summer. Well, at least I have these gorgeous photos to remember it by and who knows perhaps an autumnal visits is in the cards; you know before winter rears its ugly head with it's endless months of miserable weather.
Anyhow, do enjoy these photos that I took that day and I vow, one day to make it to the top of the Bluffs. Seriously, I feel like the only Torontonian who hasn't been -oy vey.
Havana Travel Diary
Sunday, July 15, 2018
This past May my mother and I decided to go on a girls trip to Varadero Cuba, to vacation on their sandy beaches and enjoy some time away from life's usual stresses. I am a strong believer that a good vacation can do wonders for your soul. There is something about getting away for a few days that allows you to press restart and recharge your batteries. Prior to this trip I haven't had an actual vacation, one where I was able to swim in an ocean or relax on a beach, in about 5 years. So it is safe to say I really needed this trip.
Usual on my trips I like to be pretty active and explore my new surroundings, however that was not the case this time. I knew early on that I wanted this trip to be solely about relaxing and enjoying each others company so my usual planning and trip itinerary was caste aside. That being said we did plan a day trip into Havana to explore the historic city. I have always heard that visiting the city of Havana is like stepping out of a time machine and I definitely understand why. From the architecture to the old fashioned cars, appropriately called older timers by the locals, the entire city feels like it is set in another time period; which I believe adds to its charm.
Anyway I hope you enjoy these series of photos I took on our tour through Old Town Havana. Our nice tour guide took us around all of the popular sites in Havana, including some history/ art museums, the National Ballet School, The Capital building (El Capitolio), Revolution Square, to name a few. It was a bit of a whirlwind trip but I thoroughly enjoyed our time and I can't wait to visit the city again.

Christian Dior Gallery
Tuesday, January 02, 2018
Happy New Year!! I hope you're all soaking up that brand new, fresh start feeling that a new year often brings. I like to compare this feeling to the first day of Spring, but colder. Much much colder. Anyway, today I wanted to share a photo diary of my recent trip to the Royal Ontario Museum. Recently the ROM teamed up with the department store Holt Renfrew to host an exhibit dedicated to Christian Dior. The items in the exhibit have been donated by Toronto Socialites for display in the gallery. If you currently follow me on Instagram some of these photos have already been posted on my page, insert shameless plug to follow me on Insta, but I thought I would share the rest of my photos here. If you are interested in checking out the gallery for yourself the exhibit extends to March 18th.
