insta catch-up

picking up some pieces and a book from morgana wallace, hanging out in the roastery at 2% jazz, found orchids in gastown, a warm feeling on main st, every morning at 7 am, that's what i looked like that day, this is a siphon (a vacuum coffee maker that uses a halogen heat source to push the coffee through a filter which creates a super delicate but really awesome flavour) at discovery coffee, the beginnings of a dwarf sunflower, hidden buildings, surprise mini heat waves leads to slurpee drinking on stoops with good friends, a red wheat soft pretzel from fry's, progress, i broke vegan to eat this candied ginger and rhubarb custard crepe at lady marmalade, yesterday's outfit.

vintage dresses, marais usa shoes.

i'm really sorry about never updating pals, these past few weeks have been really big piles of garbage. things are looking up, and i may even have a cool job to tell you all about later. maybe even some real posts!?

out on the sea we'd be forgiven

new shoes, flower from my neighbour's garden, clean walls, new windowsills, work drinks x2, country club vibes on a lazy sunday, 6am out my window, supporting our coffee peers 2% jazz at their new home in the hudson building (so gorgeous and so so proud of them), funny notes found at work, a beautiful bouquet found on the street, details from my new room (!), today's outfit ft. beach house's 'bloom', and then finding a funny resemblance in the new patrick watson album art.

the past while has been working lots, and sleeping when i'm free. i've been really exhausted and drinking too much espresso (which tends to put me to sleep).

vintage dresses, american apparel pants, marais usa shoes.

a local record store released 'bloom' a few days early. i'm always amazed by how beautiful beach house is. i've put a firm "wash your hands" rule that applies to anyone who wants to put this record on (at home and when i take it to work).

meet me in the mornin'

b-red organic and locally made artisan donuts (seriously, those pb&j ones get me every time, and seriously look at the detail he puts on the orange creamsicle), lemon meringue pie at john's place as an after breakfast dessert, a lazy breakfast a few weeks ago, curry tofu scramble at mo:le (vegan!), a benny at blue fox, LEMON MERINGUE DONUTS, tofu scramble at the tree house back home, work scones with applesauce, another lazy breakfast at home, shambhala benny at cabin 12, a reward after a long day, a raw cheesecake!

okay, so i guess you could say i'm a breakfast fan. looking at it all now, i can see that it's a little bit ridiculous. i'm also actually allergic to dairy. even a lil macchiato can sometimes send my body into a reaction (i had a not so great experience like that at street level this past week when my pal the owner offered me a drink on the house). eating eggs makes me uncomfortable, so a lot of the time i lean toward a more vegan diet, but sometimes i make a spur of the moment decision or let into a craving and end up covered in hives. win some, lose some.

the man of metropolis steals our hearts

beach hangs, a bag lady outfit i wore earlier this week, work doodles for business cards, my cat's paws, a birdie, nausea by sartre, a current obsession.

blogging without a camera is tough, friends. i've done it before. hopefully you enjoy what i've been posting at least? lately i've been working lots, baking raw cheesecake, drinking too much coffee again, finding these kind of things in my books, and watching far too many episodes of the nanny. i'm going to be working on a food post in the next few days! 

INSTAGRAM

a glimpse into my little life. i would like to make this a weekly thing. these are just a few of the many pictures on my stream (not even a fraction), but i feel like this will help me remember to post more. i've been so busy with work, but i really do terribly miss documenting my life. if you have instagram, you should follow me @babyravy!
