my best friend's wedding; Tuscany.

All photos by: Aljosa Videtic your man for European destination wedding images; he captures all the candid moments.

one of my best friend's got engaged and then turned this super special, romantic Tuscan wedding around in less than 3 months! we had to take a funicular (so The Grand Budapest Hotel) up to Certaldo Alto an old medieval walled village just above Certaldo, near San Gimignano in Tuscany, Italy for the ceremony. the setting really could not have been more magical if you had 3 years to plan your wedding! highlights for me were seeing and laughing with old friends, learning how to make ravioli and tiramisu (which we made for the wedding dinner) and my stone fox bestie serenading her new husband on the ukelele at the end of the night- i sobbed! do only fools rush in? for a girl who only knew that she wanted purple hydrangeas, she came up with one pretty party- you have GOT to check out the photos to believe it. i promise, you won't help falling in love...

1000 bedrooms.

just under a year ago now, photographer m. ellen burns came to our house one morning and photographed us in our bedroom (which looks so different now!). she has a project called 1000 bedrooms in which her goal is to photograph 1000 bedrooms across the world over the next few years. her images are about the people, not the room. she shoots off a roll of film and processes it in the dark room at her work, so for her this ends up being a time consuming passion project. i was so happy to be part of this! she was also cool enough to send me through contact strip of some of our outtakes. chris just does not look impressed at all; i think he got up on the wrong side of bed that morning ;)

itchy feet.

i'm getting so ready to leave on our little European adventure this weekend. it's time to stand on new lands with our feet in fresh soil; looking out from a brand spankin' vantage point. like a breath of fresh.air.*photos from our trip to morocco

dolphin dive.

after it takes three hours to figure out how to make your first GIF, the next ones are a breeze. here is my love swimming in the deep blue sea too; indian summer lovin'.

behind the scenes.

two more from yesterday's super fun Easter DIY video shoot with Freedom Australia. that's all folks!

the making of my dream home: bedroom.

apparently my dream bedroom has a canopy bed?! i'm also leaning towards wood panelled walls, a kooky bed frame, twinkly lights and lush linens in my signature all white look or maybe i venture into the land of colour. bunk beds could be really fun in the guest room or the kid's bedroom. i'm also not sure why i haven't purchased a hudson bay blanket yet from my home and native land (canada), as i'm always drawn to them on pinterest. et voilà - my dream home; the bedroom edition.

the making of my dream home: outside.

next, to add some important outdoor features to my pinterest dream home. this place would need plenty of outdoor plants, a rooftop garden depending on where it is, outdoor lounging and dining area for al fresco dinners, a fire pit, definitely an outdoor shower and bath and maybe a pool. ooh, so dreamy.
