Baby You’re a Firework

As a pyro, firweworks are one my favourite spectacles and one of the very best parts of the victoria day long weekend here in Canada.

To celebrate May 24 (which isn’t actually remotely close to May 24 at all this year), here are some amazing photographs from Canadian artist Jeremy Watt  (repped by Atti Gallery) that capture the frenetic energy of fireworks erupting in the night sky.

Interweb Updates

Things are busier than ever in Jessica Claire’s World as the cottage wraps up, house plans amp up and high season at the magazine shifts into gear.

One exciting thing to share is that Garnet Hill, a fab source for beautiful linens, home accessories and more, is now shipping to Canada, so it was perfect timing for me to curate a list of my fave items from them on their FB page. I have featured their product in the magazine before so it’s great to know it’s more accessible than ever.

Also, online is a 20 questions feature on the Style At Home page in conjunction with the our designer secrets issue. Check it out for some juicy nuggets including the store where I could spends hours browsing and the purchase I’d make if money were no object.

I’m off to Brimfield tomorrow with some awesome Style At Home editors and will be tweeting and instagramming up a storm so make sure you’re following me and the style at home page for the latest! We’ll also be uploading shots to our special Brimfield pinterest board of our fave finds that I will be carting around in my sexy old lady meets homeless bottle collecting mobile shopping cart. Wish me luck!

Sister Act

I’m so excited that my sister Marlie’s apartment is included in the newest issue of Style At Home. It was such a fun project to work on, as writer Laura de Carufel brilliantly captured in her story, and I’m so pleased with how the spread turned out.

You may recall some posts about it last year, but for some behind-the-scenes pics from the shoot and before and after shots, make sure to visit the Style At Home blog.
