blush lace among plum trees

/

Living on a farm is a weird and wonderful thing.  Nearly everyone you meet dreams of living on a farm, although very few realize the amount of work that goes into running one.  Plants and animals don't care about weekends or holidays, and often the amount of work that needs done in a day is much greater than eight hours worth.  This is especially true during harvest time.  Our family has been running hard for the last six weeks already picking apples, plums, pears, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, gourds, and more, and we're all eagerly awaiting November 1st (aka: the next day our store is closed)!

styled shoot // the plains of jasper & a hat

Clara and I woke up early on our final day in Jasper in order for us to catch the gorgeous morning light, and the sunset as it bathed the mountains in soft pink tones.  This location was one of the strangest and most beautiful places that we saw in Jasper.  The ground was sandy, and covered with very shallow puddles that reflected the light in a way that made it look like the whole thing was water from certain angles.  Just breathtaking.

2015.  How the heck did we get here?  I've loved reading other bloggers/instagrammers/friends New Year's resolutions/goals, although I haven't actually sat down to make my own list.  (This is unusual, since my love for lists is quite strong).  My interest was piqued however, when I saw a few people choosing a word or theme for 2015.  This resonated with me, and I quite liked the idea of having a theme instead of concrete goals.  (Not that goals are bad...but I always feel so guilty when I don't reach them).

outfit post // navy & mustard

Navy and mustard.  Two of my favorite colours, in one dress.  With lace.  This is what dreams are made of.

I knew that I had to have it as soon as I saw it....and then stalked it for weeks and waited for it to go on sale.  Mennonite to the end, I am.

outfit post // sunrise session - a little black dress

Sunrises are the best. And this was a morning where I allowed myself to imagine that I had just stepped out of an Austen novel, and was wandering the English countryside.  


(Bad news...I wasn't actually in England.  More bad news...Mr. Darcy never showed up!)

outfit post: a floral skirt among the flowers

I love shopping.  I mean I reeeeeally love shopping.  However, my this can be a bit tough on my wallet.  A couple months ago, one of my best friends

Ashley

, was moving to a smaller place, and decided to get rid of lots of her clothes.  She invited some friends over to go through what she wanted give away, and we ended up having a big clothing swap!  It was so awesome, I ended up with some really cute clothes, and didn't have to pay a penny! I also had a chance to declutter my own closet as well, and get rid of some clothes that no longer fit my style.

This vintage skirt was my favourite find of the night.  It is flowy and comfortable, and I love the length. Here I paired it with a $5 top I found at Garage, and a simple pair of black flats, for the most affordable outfit ever!

So, what happens when you're having a good hair day, you're wearing your Easter dress (with purple tights), and there's nobody around to take photos?

Well, you dig out the tripod and just do it yourself!

It was quite the adventure figuring out how to position myself in the frame, how the heck I was supposed to get the focus right, and pretend like the neighbours weren't silently judging me.  I mostly figured it out (although there were 

a lot of 

hilarious outtakes), and these are the results!

blossoms and yellow pants

So, after an eternity (aka: maybe a year) of searching....I finally have a green military parka!  Seriously though, it's been on my must-have list for so long, and I never could find the right one.  I actually got this one for Christmas (after picking it out...hehe), and I'm pretty happy with it.  Of course nothing ever quite lives up to "the one" you've built up in your head, right?  Haha.

Anywho....it's Spring!  And here it actually feels like Spring.  We even hit 20 degrees this week.  Pretty stoked about that.  Oh ya, and the cherry blossoms are also in full bloom and are ridiculously gorgeous.  I'm thinking someone needs to engineer an ever-blooming cherry tree.  Who's with me? 

parka: the garage // chambray top: plenty // pants: clothing swap // shoes: target

I love Spring.

Also I got these pants at a clothing swap.  Those are just the best.  You get to "chuck" clothes you don't want, and then go home with new, free stuff.  It's a win win!
