Clark & Hout - Pass It On

Raez of Cheap Thrills
Local design firm Clark + Huot held an event that is very new for us in Winnipeg: A networking party. It was really a first for a lot of us but it was a really valuable experience. I've always thought that Winnipeg was home to a ton of extremely creative people, and what a great idea to put them all in a room together to simply talk. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to use up some of my Polaroid film. Here are some photos of my good friends as well as some amazing people I met that evening!







Thanks again to Clark + Huot for the great event. Make sure to check out their blog for some more photos from the party, including my painfully awkward "red carpet" shot. That's something that definitely takes some getting used to!

Reading With Pullteeth: Sandbox Magazine

Newest pick in the Pullteeth book club: Sandbox Magazine! This Winnipeg based magazine launched only a year ago, and it's exploded into a staple for any fashionable local. They have a great eye for local talent and they really showcase a lot of people who wouldn't normally be in the spotlight.
Not to mention the incredible cover styled by my pal Bri Fozter! (remember the infamous hair jacket?)

Look who it is! My two blogger BFFs Kylie of Nice and Shiny and Raez of Cheap Thrills!! This is from the launch issue of the last issue. You can see more photos of the party on Raez's blog (click).

By far my favorite article features Lara Vincent, who is a Toronto based designer with roots in Winnipeg. She designs the most beautiful head wears. I swear, any girls reading this would be crazy not to fall in love her her pieces. I mean... seriously?!. Check out her website http://www.laravincent.com/ for full lookbooks + a few videos.


Well look who it is.... As you can imagine Raez and I jumped at the opportunity to be featured in the magazine. Little did we know they were going to have us do what we love... thrift! I can't think of anything better! We wrote an article on our 10 tips when second hand shopping.

We were especially lucky to have a friend of mine, Kathleen Willson, taking our photos. It was so much fun shooting! Ahh!

For anyone who lives in Winnipeg, Sandbox is available right now at Burns & Black, Hush Clothing, and McNally Robinson. As of Jan 11th it will also be available at Chapters bookstores, not only in Manitoba but in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Toronto!
I hope some of you will be able to pick the magazine up! I tried not to post too much here, I don't want to spoil it ! If not you can always just check out their website, Sandboxmag.com.

PS: I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for my wrinkled sheets. Yikes!

The Lost Diary

I try to keep a camera with me as much as possible, but fellow SLR owners know how much of a pain that can be. I hardly ever carry around a bag, especially one big enough to hold my camera. Anyhow... whenever I do manage to get a camera out with me I almost always share the photos here. Here's a collection of photos that for some reason or another never found their way to my blog.
