photo shoot no. 2

This is another photo shoot taken by my big sister. I had fun playing with different accessories and pretending to be a model...haha. Check out my sister's photography blog to see more: the foto shoebox.

farewell to friends

I took some quick shots before heading out to a missionary farewell at church. I tucked in an oversized shirt from my mother's closet into a black pencil skirt. I thought it was kind of kimono inspired and I always like tucking in something loose into something more fitted because it is more flattering...lol. You will see that I wear a lot of clothes from my mom's closet. She has kept clothes since the 80's, so you can imagine how fun it would be to look through.  

Missionaries that serve for our church serve their missions from one and a half to two years and most of them are from a another country. It sure is hard to say goodbye to friends you have grown to love. 

MUSIC MONDAY: Lykke Li

I love both of these songs...I can listen to them over and over. She has such a unique sound and I enjoy her sense of style. Enjoy :)

Tracks:

Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance

Lykke Li - Let it fall

My family and I celebrated Canada Day. It was a beautiful day with so many happenings. Winnipeg is a fun city...trust me, it is...lol. There is so much culture and beauty. We took a trip to the Mint where all the money making happens. It was cool to see and enjoy the different festivities going on. We figured we should check it out since it was free! We also got to check out the Osbourne Village Street Festival. There were a lot of people, food vendors, live music, yoga lessons and of course, the festival market. I love Canada and am proud to be Canadian. I am especially grateful that we are free to choose our own faith. Happy Birthday Canada!

I went to a retro-themed wedding social with my sisters and my brother-in-law. It was fun to get our "groove on" and play dress up. The DJ did a throwback mix of songs going through the decades from Ghost Busters to Boys II Men to Stevie Wonder. It was a fun night.
FYI: I just discovered that socials are a Manitoba-grown concept. They are functions to fundraise for weddings or charities.

practice run, sequins are fun

Here are some photos from a shoot taken by my big sister. My sister is an aspiring photographer, so why not take photos of your younger sis for practice? It's fun for both sides :) And yes...these photos are a little outdated (hence the Christmas tree...lol), but I thought I'd share anyway. My sister and sister-in-law have a blog of their photography.
