2010

2010 was an amazing year, it was definitely a year of growth, change and lots of eating of course! I also started this blog about a year ago and I hope to continue to write more. I was just on my friend Kelly's blog and she inspired me to do a little recap of 2010 as well. In no particular order, here are my top 10 in 2010


Birthday trip to NYC. The highlight of this trip was going to Kleinfeld's for the first time and meeting Randy in person. He put on my girlfriend's veil, it was a very sweet moment.


After completing PR school at Centennial College, I landed an internship and a full-time job offer at Strategic Objectives. I also met some fabulous PR people along the way.


The Miso Black Cod at Ame. Hands down, one of the most delicious dishes I ate in 2010. I still think about it from time to time, yes it is that good.


Epic dinner parties with my favorite people.


I have stalked this bag for a year and when I had the opportunity to buy it in New York I hesitated. It was a huge regret, but I ended up buying it at a discount in Toronto. I think it was meant to be.


My girl crushes, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley. They are gorgeous, talented and have amazing taste and style.


Stars concert at Massey Hall


Ordering many rounds of Uni (Sea urchin) sushi with my family. We are obsessed.


Discovering stylemepretty.com was pretty major in 2010. I am obsessed with weddings and I visit this blog on a daily basis


Eating the Mac Attack at Cafeteria in New York. The truffle oil mac is my favourite.

Happy New Year!

Wedding Dress

Seeing Nicole Richie in her Marchesa wedding gown this morning has inspired me to write a blog post of about "the dress". Every girl dreams about their big day and that perfect wedding dress. I know I have given this much thought.

Grace Kelly

Ever since Nicole was a little girl, she knew that she wanted two things at her wedding; a Grace Kelly inspired wedding dress and an elephant. Well, she got both of these things and more. Lucky girl.

Now onto me. Ever since I was a little girl I have been a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn. My great-grandma absolutely adored her and I remember watching all of her movies growing up. One of my favourites is My Fair Lady and it would be my dream to channel this look on my big day.


Audrey Hepburn

I know Audrey's white dress is not a wedding gown, but I think every girl would feel like a princess looking like that.

Ladies, do you have a dream dress?
