Bun Frenzy and Bun "Sock" Tutorial ♥

I've been sporting buns here and there all month long. It's such a wonderful classic style that can be so easily funked up and edgy or sweet and demure (that and it makes me feel a little Parisienne every time I've got my bun on).

I stumbled upon this little tutorial by Liz on how to do the "perfect (full) bun." I've been trying it out for the past couple days and I have to say it really works! I have really thick hair which seems like my buns would be large and voluminous and messy, but some days I really could use an extra oomph! 
This little sock idea really adds that extra oomph for me and it helps my bun stay in place (without hairspray) all day long

Once you've got your bun in place, it's really easy to make it messy.

Dreaming of Spring ♥

Vancouver weather has been giving me the blues lately. With last week's amazing few days of sunshine, I was busting out all of my spring and summer clothes really hoping to hop right into spring.
Well Vancouver weather, you really got me there. 

It's been a while since I've had an entire Sunday all to myself. No work, no cleaning, no phonecalls, no irritating little brother (that I love to death), no boyfriend, no friends, no cooking, nothing and no one - just me. And boy does today feel amazing.
Other than picking up my knitting needles and finishing up my big herringbone cowl scarf inspired by Purl Soho I've been browsing the interweb for spring...


 Aren't these pictures amazing? I almost couldn't believe that they are real. They are like paintings taken straight out of someone's imagination, like a place you would read about in a fairytale and dream of.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to take a stroll through this gorgeous Kawachi Fuji Garden Wisteria tunnel in Japan? 


 How about taking a train through this passage in Ukraine? The greenery is just breathtaking and so refreshing. After taking a stroll through this fairytale, I don't think any one can have a bad day.
Locals call it the love tunnel.

Wouldn't it be amazing to get married at a place like one of these?

Wishing all you lovelies a wonderful week.
