Fashionable Biking

I love biking, and mostly I love picking accessories for my bike and a great outfit to wear while biking. What do you prefer while biking, heels or flats? I have been a strict flat girl for some time. I fear getting my heel caught in the pedal, or slipping, but I'm starting to realize that these fears are mostly insane and damn do these girls look good riding in their heels! Vogue.com posted a great article about heels or flats here, I also love looking at back post from the Sartorialist featuring bikes.
Later on I will post some pictures of my lovely bike and give some tips on adding baskets to your bike the cheapest way possible!

The Horse Rider's Journal

(cover magazine)

Cover magazine from Denmark has created a new magazine called "The Horse Rider's Journal" featuring everything fashionable and horsey. My absolute dream! I have been riding since I was 6 and can not get enough of it! Now I just need to find a way to get this Magazine in Ontario. Anyone have ideas?
More beautiful photos of the magazine can be seen here!

Dreaming of Sunny Days

(hat, sunnies, polish, suit, cuff, sandals, bag)

The weather in London Ontario was miserable until a few days ago. Rain, rain, and then some more rain. Finally, when the sun starts to shine I get a massive cold that has lasted for an entire week so far! I have been spending most of my time trying to go to work, reading, drinking lavender tea, and eating miso soup. Oh, and dreaming of being out in the sun, especially since I bought this amazing new bathing suit (see below) from a local vintage shop called Lovesick! It is 100% handmade and completely amazing.

to new beginnings

I have tried once or twice to start a blog, but it never really seems to work out. I become too distracted, over worked, and slowly my posts become more and more infrequent. I found it mostly difficult to blog while I was in school and since I just graduated from my Masters in Music Performance and have no plans of anymore school (and probably not a job for a while... did I mention I received a masters in music performance?) I want to try and give this blog thing a real go.

The name of my blog is super witty and intelligent and amazing and definitely wasn't named so I could have a golden glitter background. It is however, one of my favourite Wolf Parade songs so we will say that's why I chose it.

to new beginnings!
