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

Drawn Out + Weekend Reading

Friday is finally here (yessss), and although it's been a short one for me, I'm majorly pooped. Going back to work after the holidays (and a couple late-night flights) can really take its toll on a girl, especially when most of the week is spent trying to frantically catch-up on lost time... Geeesh. So if you're anything like me, you'll need to spend a couple hours laying in bed with a cup of coffee, just getting lost online. Sounds pretty good right?

Here's a roundup of some interesting reads I've come across this week to get you started... Happy surfing!

 

1. This engagement story had me all teary-eyed — such a thoughtful proposal, plus I totally identify with the ugly side of wedding planning that Kelly mentions.

2. Here's an assortment of Youtube channels for exercising at home that just may get me off the couch.

3. Totes agree with this article on the 7 habits of highly stylish people.

4. Loving this lighthearted resolution to drink more water... I'm totally rocking it in the water department this week!

5. How to make your own gin (that's right — gin).

6. I've enjoyed my leopard coat so much (on sale here) that now I'm considering getting this Chic Wish coat too... Just don't tell Mr. AiF.

7. Four business apps to love via my friend Alicia... totally downloading Weekly Calendar!

8. A DIY I wish I had thought of first.

9. And finally, this video of Bri Emery's Creative Mornings talk is a must-watch — her career journey is both fascinating and inspiring.

 

Special thanks goes out to Naomi Sutanto for creating this lovely drawing of me based on this post — thanks girl! You can check out the rest of her work here. Happy Friday!
