Travel

Hello! Hope you’re having a great start to the week! I’m in Boston this week for work, attending the INBOUND Conference. Absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to hear some great speakers, such as Martha Stewart, Malcolm Gladwell, Simon Sinek, and earlier today, Guy Kawasaki!

I had the chance to meet some of my American friends south of the border today and we got on the topic of travelling within USA and Canada. We had a friendly debate on the accessibility of travelling across Canada, and so I thought I’d give some tips today on the best ways to travel around this lovely country, Canada.

Canada is the second largest country in the world and its landscape is as diverse as it is beautiful. When you take a trip to Canada you really don’t want to miss a thing and you should soak up as much of what the country has to offer as possible.

In that vein, keep reading to find out the best ways to explore Canada!

Hello! It’s been some time since I’ve ran a giveaway, therefore, greeting you with a FABULOUS one today! Last week, Kyle and I went on a road trip down to Boston and Cape Cod area. It was fantastic and for those of you who read my last post, he surprised me with an ENGAGEMENT! *Happy Dance* … I digress.

Thanks to Henry’s Rentals, they generously lent me my favourite camera ever – the Fujifilm X100S and was lucky enough to snap these photos from our trip. For those of you who are unaware, not only do Henry’s sell and rent out photography equipment, their School of Imaging also offers an array of photography workshops and classes.

Lucky for you – I’m working with Henry’s to give you one pair of tickets (worth $175 each) to their upcoming Peller Estates (Niagara-on-the-Lake) Winery Photography Workshop!

This past winter was brutally cold. We spent most of our weekends snuggling up indoors but now that the warmer weather is upon us, we’re back in full swing when it comes to planning eventful, yet affordable weekends in the city.

We moved into the Beaches area just as summer was ending last year and didn’t get a chance to see what the neighborhood had to offer. I’ve heard from many nearby dwellers that the Beaches transforms as the months start to get warmer. I’m so excited to plan my upcoming weekends in this family-friendly, dog-friendly, and just good ol’ friendly community.

Bonjour! Sharing with you the rest of my photos from my trip to Paris in early April. If you missed my first set, you can have a look here. Now that I’ve finally got the chance to edit them and hand pick my favourite ones, time to get them printed and set them around the house.
Isn’t it funny how digital photography has made it so easy for us to take photos and share them online, but when it comes to printing … it often gets procrastinated?

Bonjour! I finally got the chance to go through all my photos from my trip to Paris in a few weeks ago! I managed to snap hundreds and hundreds of photo while I was there and hand picked a few to share with you here. I will be sharing a few others soon as I didn’t want to bombard this post with way too many! I am also so happy that I decided to take a camera rental along with me for my trip. The Fuji X100S took the most amazing photos as a point and shoot, you can rent one at Henry’s Rentals. It is now on my shopping list.

If you would like a copy of any of them, feel free to leave me a comment and I’m more than happy to send you a high-res version for print. I’m looking forward to getting these off to print (BLACKS offers a variety of options for printing photos) and showering the house with them.

Hello! I had the best time in Paris last week! I can’t even describe how magical it was. There is something special to see at every corner. The architecture and gardens are incredible and I’m envious of everything about the Parisian lifestyle and culture. The treats and eats were also to die for and the French Macarons from Laduree? Heavenly! Even though I was only there for a few days, I made the best of every minute and soaked in as much of the Parisian culture as I was able. If you haven’t visited this romantic city yet, be sure to put on the top of your list!

In my post last week, I mentioned a few must pack items. One item I definitely won’t leave without is the Henkaa convertible dress. Sometimes, it is just impossible to plan for every activity and event in the travel itinerary. Packing becomes a hassle when you’re trying to predict ever possibility- i.e. am I going to a casual place for dinner? Something fancy? Packing a convertible dress provides options and the Henkaa dress certainly gives a variety – it can be worn at least in 8 different ways! I’m wearing the midi dress in royal blue in a few different ways, the dress also comes in a mini and maxi length.

As you’re reading this, I’ve just set foot in Paris a couple of hours ago! I am beyond excited to explore this romantic city. I can’t wait to explore the countless museums, cafes, gardens, and soak in all the Parisian culture. Being this my first trip to Paris, I’d really appreciate if you have any suggestions for me!

I no newbie when it comes to travelling as I’ve done countless business trips but travelling for leisure is just a different ball game! One of my goals during my short trip to Paris is to take some fantastic photos. I really didn’t want to lug my DSLR around with several lenses (and let’s face it there aren’t really that many cute and compact DSLR camera bags out there). I was so thrilled to find an alternative solution with Henry’s Rentals. I am taking along the Fuji X100S point and shoot camera with me c/o of Henry’s. I can’t tell you how excited I am to try this top of the line point and shoot!

It’s been an awfully cold Winter so far – these cold days have me dreaming of a sunny, hot, beach holiday! I’m currently working towards making that dream reality. I’m in need of a spot where the weather will be a perfect combination of hot sunny days and warm nights where no jacket is necessary and flip flops are mandatory (so would a drink in hand)! I’ve been looking holidays online to keep me dreaming on the Royal Holiday vacation club.

My recent trip to Europe has taught me a few things about planning your own vacation. As you may know, these days, there is little reason why anything should be done…

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve been quiet that last week as I was taking some time off and celebrating the 30th in London and Barcelona. We had such a great time!…
