My day job

Bouclair Maison
I had countless sleepless nights trying to envision the final product to ensure that it would all be just right.

I’m not sure why I don’t often talk about or really let you in on what I do during the day. I think it might be mainly because of a fear or really putting myself out there. Well, I guess working on a national ad campaign and have it appear in nine different Canadian magazines, I’ve had to bite the bullet and just let go.

Thanks to a team of truly incredible professionals, we all came together and made a dream of mine happen.

And I promise over the next few weeks, I will show you more of what I have done and what I do because you’ve been there for me. I talk about design and how important it is to me yet never really share that part of my life with you. You can see the entire campaign by flipping through either your October issue of House & Home or Style at Home among others, but for now, here’s to new beginnings.

Blog Tour 2011

Blog Tour 2011
I’ve been extremely fortunate to have experienced both Fashion Week and Design Week in New York City this year. At the end of this month, I’ll be heading across the pond and will find myself in the midst of the London Design Festival and all because of Blog Tour 2011.

Veronika Miller of Modenus, which is a small firm built entirely on Social Media, in essence took the belief she had in the power of design bloggers and decided to create Blog Tour 2011 which would bridge the North American and UK gap and bring us all together during this incredible string of design events.

With her partners MyDeco and AD Home Design Show and alongside several distinguished sponsors such as Blanco, Samuel HeathVictoria + Albert, Du Verre Hardware, Spirit of Sports and Wallunica, myself and 14 other design and lifestyle bloggers will head to London and attend events such as 100% Design, Tent London and Origin Contemporary Craft Fair.

I am extremely excited and honoured to be part of this all and with such a fabulously charged agenda, I will be sure to have so much to show and share with you.

Pure Green Magazine – Issue No 6

So it’s out, live, in all its glory.

For every issue I get involved with, I learn so much about who I am, how I work and what makes me happy. Pure Green is definitely a labour of love shared between such incredible people and with every page we add together, it just keeps getting better and better.

Researching and discovering so many inspiring manufacturers and artists for my eco style picks is definitely a highlight for me. And seeing some of my favorite spots in Montreal in the magazine puts a smile on my face.
