Who's ready for some more bridal wear? If you caught last week's post, you'll know that I was lucky enough to play dress-up in some seriously dreamy dresses from Delica Bridal in honour of Swept's upcoming event (this Sunday!). We had a little more fun with this round, personalizing the gowns with leather (oh, baby!), vintage fur and some leopard print... Afterall, who says bridal wear has to be boring?

If you live in Edmonton and want to check out Swept, register while you still can — the countdown is on! And if you see me there, come say hi — I'll be the one camped out by the wedding cake tastings. xx

Look 2: Gown- Delica Bridal | heels c/o Sole Society | bracelet- Blue Vanilla 

As a future bride-to-be, I was beyond excited when Swept — a boutique bridal show happening here in Edmonton — asked me to model some bridal wear for them. I mean seriously, twist my rubber arm why don't you! I can count the number of times I've actually touched a wedding dress on one hand, so having the opportunity to play with Delica's countless (and not to mention totally stunning) dresses was the funnest... sigh.

If you live in Edmonton and want to join the fun (do it!), check out the deets here — just don't wait too long to register; tickets are super limited and this thing is going to be crazy awesome! xx

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting with my friend and fellow blogger, Miss Sarah Chan. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever (right?!) and she makes riding a bike look oh-so good... And can we just talk about the fact that homegirl can cycle in heels? Because I think that deserves an award of some kind, but I digress.

We met for chai, loaded up the bikes with some cute bits and bobs (a big thank you to RedBike for letting me borrow this beautiful Pashley Sonnet Bliss!) and set out on a photo adventure with the help of our pal Jerry. There were laughs, leaf tossing (which is harder than it looks, let me tell you) and Gossip Girl references made on school steps. And for the record, you CAN eat yogurt on the steps with us at lunch — we're nice like that. xx

{Feature} Beauty in Destruction...

Sometimes the most unexpected backdrops turn out to be the best, as was the case with this construction site that my friend Jerry coaxed me onto. Despite the nagging feeling that I was doing something wrong the entire time (B&E, anyone?), it was actually one of the funnest shoots I've ever done — Rain, lightning, jagged edges and all. xx

{Feature} The Tell-Tale Heart...

There's nothing better than a good old photo adventure, even if it includes mud and more mosquito bites (in highly undesirable places) than I care to count. Luckily I have nice friends who are willing to put up with such things for the sake of getting the shot, including trudging through waist-high grass and coaxing me onto old, abandoned tractors (just for kicks) even when I'm being a total priss about it... What can I say, some people just belong in cities.

Happy weekending, friendlies, and thanks for reading! xx
