bread & cheese.

This is so simple, yet so tasty. You have to try this - the bread and cheese you'll most likely have to buy at a Persian food store... I haven't found the bread anywhere else :| that's the only downfall. I'm sure it is easy to substitute.... but it's just not the same.

Buy: Sangak bread (which is about 2-feet long whole wheat sour dough flat bread), organic honey, macedonian cheese, walnuts.

Cut the bread (I find cutting it with scissors is easiest), toast it. Spread the cheese on top, crumble some walnuts and then drizzle the honey. And that's it. Simple and SO addicting you'll probably make a few.

red fish, blue fish.

I finally tried deep fried pickles for the first time ever! And they did not disappoint. Extremely crunchy - even more so because of the tempura bits - and the pickle still kept it's full dill flavour. While previously living in Victoria, I always wanted to try Red Fish, Blue Fish for some halibut fish and chips, but the Gally (a favourite for fish and chips) always stopped me from going there. But since I was downtown already this particular Saturday, and my sister waited in line for ages, I finally got to try it and it was satisfying in every way. Sitting by the ocean, eating fish and chips and deep fried pickles... mmm... good thing I went for a run later that evening! P.s. Don't forget to enter my giveaway here - just a few days left!

pop of colour.

I found these pictures that were taken a couple months ago at the rooftop of the Woodwards building in Gastown. I enjoy these shoes from Zara so much, and I completely forgot about these pictures so I thought I would share. These shoes are really comfortable and bring out a lovely pop in any outfit. P.s.

black crochet.

I received this beautiful Georges Marciano vintage top from Janice of Shoppalu... and as soon as I set eyes on it I wanted it for myself. BUT I wanted to choose the best for my readers, so here it is. It is perfect for all seasons depending on how you layer it and what you wear it with - a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The soft feminine shape of the piece is enhanced by the edgy open weave crochet detailing, creating a playful throwback to the 70's. While I think it's fantastic paired with some vintage shorts, my other option was to pair it with my black leather skirt. I am really excited to do this giveaway - to make it easy, here are just a few things you will need to do to enter.
