oh hey, a blog post

This past year has been a hard one. My last blog post was almost a year ago *gasp*. I want this blog to turn back into a space I can look back on and share all the recent shennanigans going on in our life. Like, we got another dog! Nov.24 a little pup named Coco (and her pup sister Cora) traveled all the way from Cancun to be fostered here in Canada. Cora, was being fostered by my friend, Katy, and Coco, by Jody and myself. Well, needless to say Katy kept Cora and we kept Coco ...We renamed Coco to Yukon, because I just couldnt handle having a dog named Coco? Also, I thought she'd get super jealous when her sister's have such cool names..I mean Lumin,Neela and...coco? That just doesnt seem right. Yukon has already gained a few hilarious nicknames, some involving Yuki, Yukon Blonde, Yuki Beara, Yuk, and Yukon Gold. She's the sweetest pup and her and Lumin get along so beautifully well. So many puppy photos I actually started them their own insta account @luminandyukon

This is Cora^

Worn // Maxi dress for the win

all summer long I just want to laze around in something comfortable and light....and if I happen to look good while doing it then its a total score. I found this dress on clearance at Urban outfitters and I just love it. It has a very low back on it though so Ive only worn it with a jean vest out of the house so far. Im still trying to hunt down the perfect lace bandeau to wear underneath it!

Lets chat swimwear

Ive Always been uncomfortable in a bathing suit. I have memories as far back as 5 years old and thinking the girl next to me at the beach was skinnier then I was...what!? This thought process lead to an unhealthy approach to life. Until now...at least I give it my all every single day. THIS bathing suit, I love it. I feel good in it. I love how its cut, I (surprisingly) love the vivid colours, and I love how I feel in it; confident.  Im learning to embrace the body Ive been given, and damn I look good doing it. What swim suit do you feel your best in? Rock those curves you've been given xx
