In this video, I’m showing what I wore the evening I got into Toronto for the first premiere that I attended. The next morning, I went on a stroll before getting ready and stumbled upon an adorable market selling handmade pieces from India. I just couldn’t resist buying some of them. The shop ladies became my stylists. Then other customers …
We were on our way to a Toronto garden party when we were stopped by the sight of this magnificent cathedral with a beautiful garden in full bloom. It seemed to me like Toronto had a stunning cathedral on practically every corner. The people there were so welcoming. They did not mind one bit when we wanted to stop and …
While I was in Toronto, I filmed two videos that I’m very excited about! Right now, I’m in Video Editing Land, sorting through all my travel footage. So I’m not ready to show you that, but I’m excited to post something I filmed as summer was entering its final stretch, and loved doing. Here, I team up with Byanka, a …
Today is Part II of my Toronto Film Premiere Roundup. In my last post, I covered a flick that I love so much I feel like I’ve morphed into a walking ad for it. That is Carrie Pilby, which screened at TIFF. Today, I’m going independent with a feature that I saw at Toronto Indie the day before. This film …
As promised, I’m letting you all in on a few of the films that I saw while attending the Toronto film festivals.

Last weekend, my short film, In Memory Of, premiered at the Carlton Cinema in Downtown Toronto. It completely sold out!

So many more people clamored for tickets that he let some of them watch while standing, squeezed into corners, and even sitting on …

It’s official! I shivered today while protesting the cold front coming in by donning my shorts. That dose of reality caused me to change into this summer favorite for the last time. When I take it off, I’ll push it to the back of my closet until the Bluebird returns. Speaking of this dress, it’s currently marked 55% off at …
This dress has stayed prominently placed at the front of my closet from spring through summer. With fall hovering over us, I’m squeezing it into my fashion repertoire as much as possible before the warm weather takes a hiatus. And I’m taking solace in the fact that Baker offers beautiful designs every season. Next week, I’m headed to Toronto for …
I’m posting more pictures from the time when I housesat. These ones were taken at a neighbor’s home. This entire experience made me feel fabulously alive. When I arrived, I had just finished a huge project and felt exhausted. Then, as if by magic, temporarily taking up residence in a place where I was exploring new turf and knew no …
My mom definitely is! She is the head of the landscaping committee for her condo association. On my way to an event, I stopped by to admire her work, and took pictures among the flowers in my new Rebecca Taylor dress. After all, it perfectly matched some of the roses! What I find amazing about my mom is that she …
