Awkward pose (tried to get a good shot of my heels) + St. Basil's painting I did many years ago. Well I didn't want to spam you with too many travel posts in a row, so here's a big post of random photos I've taken in the past week or so. Plus some requested shoe pics!
New Clover Canyon dress. I searched for so long to find this dress..now that I got it, I think I like my first one more.
The back
My dog loves to include himself & his toys in my shots
Posing nicely for you all
I've decided to start doing my Moleskine drawings again. I haven't really done much "art" of any kind since I finished school but I do miss it. It's a great form of stress-relief. That one above is one of my favourites! I used to draw these a lot while sitting in lectures..& during summer days in cafes.
The current one in progress..spent most of this week doing it
On Sunday I managed to drag myself out of bed to join a friend for brunch at Gilead Cafe
After having my first (& most amazing so far) cannoli a couple weeks ago in New York, I'm now on a mission to find a place that makes them just as good in Toronto. I think it would be slightly easier than my other goal of finding decent macarons here. So the cannoli from Gilead was good..& looked very pretty with the side of edible (?) flowers. Though unfortunately not as good as NYC's.
The presentation of my french toast could've/should've been better. I did not want to eat that when it arrived! (That's exactly what it looked like when it came) I thought the taste would make up for the fact that it looks like it's swimming in vomit, but it didn't exactly. I would return to Gilead for sure but not going to order the french toast again!
At least the fries were good.
These pics are in such a random order so here's some more photos of my dog!
Currently lusting after these..
My favourite from iQ Food Co - Blueberry Crunch Hot Box..their hot boxes are so photogenic I'm always tempted to take a pic each time I get one. & another thing I'm love taking pics of:
I came home earlier to find cops at the entrance of my building. Soon they blocked off the perimeter around my block, not allowing any people or cars through. (Deja vu of the G20 riots a few years ago with cops surrounding my building) Apparently there was a suspicious package left at our front entrance so they had to investigate. I asked them if it was safe to stay in the building. One told me no and that I should wait it out somewhere else. & another told me: "it's big enough to harm people but not an entire building" - referring to the "package"/bomb.
Since I am sometimes overly paranoid I decided to get away for some late night dinner:
Met up with my friend to check out Bar Isabel, a new tapas place. They have a really unique menu. Their food is delicious! Between my friend and I we ordered: raw horse, pig ears, roast squash, sobrassada crostini, and cured meats. My favourites were the ones I ordered - the Sobrassada & Honey Crostini (above photo on the right) and.....
Roast Squash + Yogurt + Pomegranate + Sage (on the right)...soooooo good!!!
I was so fascinated by that huge ice cube in the drink..
& one more requested shoes pic!
PS - I really hope tomorrow will actually be 23 degrees. I'm starting to think Spring will never arrive..
