Tiles, I tell ya. It’s the DIY project that keeps tempting me but that I know better to embark upon. A mosaic necklace sounds like a much simpler — and more glamourous — bet. Gold beats grout every time.
Where: Tiles by Emery et Cie, as seen in the Melbourne home of Anna Charlesworth and Peter Stephens on The Design Files.
Wear: Lotus necklace by Lele Sadoughi, available in Vancouver at Rebecca Bree.
Geometry was the only part of math I could tolerate in high school. Had it involved triangles like those at last night’s Met Costume Institute Gala, I might have been a better student. These cut-out dresses are certainly not as punk as some of the looks on the red-carpeted stairs, but they add up to some kind of spectacular.
Clockwise from top left: Emma Watson in Prabul Gurung, Carey Mulligan in Balenciaga, Taylor Swift in J. Mendel, and Dakota Fanning in Rodarte.
My walls are covered with massive photos. One that Vancouver-based photographer Braden Paul took at Sasquatch Music Festival, another Barry Gnyp took for the Freedman Shoes SS/12 campaign I directed, and some I took travelling.
If I were to add to my collection, Barbara Cole’s ethereal underwater prints would be a (wet) dream.
The Toronto-based photographer’s Underworld series will be showing at Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver, May 16th – June 1st.

What does a newborn need a billion of? Diapers, obviously. And blankets.
Of the latter there are two kinds I love most — bamboo muslin swaddles by Aden and Anais and organic cotton blankets by Vonbon, a new line of luxury baby accessories handmade in Vancouver.
I love their prints, I love their soft durability and I love their brilliant burp bandanas. Spit up never looked so good.
Thank you, Lewis family, for introducing me!

I’m not typically a lipstick kind of girl — in fact, I’m more into Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 than anything. But when I sat down with MAC Pro Team Senior Artist Caitlin Callahan I got to play the pick a colour, any colour game.
What did she recommend? MAC Mineralize Rich in Everyday Diva. It’s bold, feels more moisturize-y than lipstick-y and lasts for hours. It might just make a convert out of me.
You can’t send han ecard on Mother’s Day (the woman birthed you, for crying out loud).
These cards by Toronto’s Paper Society Co. are printed on actual paper, fit into actual envelopes and have just enough attitude to make you forget this is a Hallmark holiday.
I’ve been thinking a lot about tiling my kitchen walls. Not just the backsplash, but the entire walls — floor to ceiling, corner to corner. It would be quite the undertaking, but it would be beautiful, no?
It sure looks great in this mid-century home on Apartment Therapy, and these homes on Remodelista.
