Bits

Happy Friday! I am thinking about changing the name of the "Love Chronicles" photos feature to "Bits". It's shorter, simpler, and a little bit more representative. Thoughts? Retorts? That said, here are a few bits from the past week or two. It's essentially bikes, food items, and neck embellishments, which is sort of my current life in a nutshell. I'm on a 3 day weekend in order to go to Halifax for an East Coast Blogger Conference, and I am loosening my waistband extensively, as the itinerary seems to feature endless treats & drinks. This is so very supported by me. See you soon East coast girls, and a very happy weekend to each and every one of you!

I have to apologize for a lack of posts this week, but the past 4 days have been nothing short of hectic and jam packed. I think I can hit the reboot button for a day on Sunday, and then dive into another busy (yet short!) work week before Easter weekend comes around. I can't wait to have a few days to catch up on some magazines & blog favorites, as well as put together outfits that don't consist of black skinnies + grey t-shirts (this week's easy to work in uniform).  It is also Kate's birthday this weekend, so expect a colorful recap of the party we are putting together for our lovely lady friend. Happy weekend, folks!

New additions.

Breakfast.

An outfit that didn't make it to the blog in time before Winter ended.

Love Chronicles: Montreal Moments

Going away with my Mum was a wonderful little break for me (thank you!), especially during these last few weeks of Winter that can sometimes feel down right crummy. I was able to take in some reading, catch up on my sleep, buy a few treats (as seen here yesterday), and spend quality time with some of my loved ones. This weekend I plan on finishing my unpacking (I'm the very wooorst for this), giving my place some t.l.c. via a cleaning spree & some re-organization, hitting up the farmer's market, and keeping things quiet. I downright promise you an outfit post on Monday! Happy weekend. 

Prior to departure I had a busy morning with a small project I can tell you a bit more about very soon!

Metro-ing.

Walking around the Plateau.

Café au lait.

Too many bread related indulgences for one belly.

Returning home to familiar, lovely faces.

Today's photo diary is brought to you through Instagram pictures, as my extremely whirlwind week has not lent too much time towards photo uploading & editing. Regardless of that, I wanted to share some snaps with you and wish you a wonderful weekend. Between photo-ing an event tonight & dancing with my lady pals, heading out of town tomorrow for catch ups with Candice, and watching the Oscars with highly anticipated snacks on Sunday night with my very favorite people, I'm sure things will be lovely. I hope the very same for you.

P.S. If you use Instagram you can follow me under my username @dollparade. If not, you can follow my tweets on twitter under the handle @kristinsuzanne right here!

This week was a bit rough. Physically, emotionally, and just about everything in between. As the weekend nears, all I can think about is comitting marked portions of time to some relaxing, yet constructive and productive, activities. I am toying with the idea of a new side project, and I have yet to completely conclude the overhaul of my poor, turbulent closet. Beyond that, I plan on resting up & rejuvinating for the days ahead. What do you folks have on the agenda for this weekend?

Hello. I write to you as a very sleepy girl at the end of a very busy week. I had a lot to accomplish, and though I am not positive I have finished it all, I have a sense of accomplishment (that's important enough, yes?). So, here are a few moments, in photo form, that outline an variety from yummy rustic foods to baby kittens - wait, is there really anything else worth documenting? Have yourselves a lovely weekend.

Some silly earrings that I own (and love! no judgment, please...).
