It's funny how I left the house today looking totally different than how I came home... 

We started the day by driving to a mall in Marbella to buy my sister new crocs, but of course I had to hit up all the stores that tickled my fancy in the meantime. Several shopping bags later we drove to Gibraltar, which is a rock-type island that belongs to the United Kingdom at the very south of Spain. You have to go through passport control and everything, and everyone there had a british accent- pretty cool if you ask me!

I finally found these Miu Miu glasses that I've been searching for everywhere! I don't think these glasses look "complimentary" on anyone- you just need to tell yourself "I freaking love these, hence I am going to rock them, hence I am going to look good and feel good!"Simple, simple.

After a "breakie smoothie" in Gibraltar, we drove all the way back to Marbella for dinner :)

Tomorrow I shall search for speedy wifi in the city to upload a video!

Peace out. Girl scout. 

DESERT DREAMS.

Did you know that it is my wildest dream to live in the Sahara Desert? 

I have this feeling from deep within that I am meant to live in a climate of dry heat, so I don't get numb fingers and toes everyday from frost. 

But hey, it's officially spring now! I bought brand new outdoor furniture today, and the weather is looking good from now on, so no complaining from me!

I used to wonder: why do people wear trench coats? The material won't keep you warm, and if it's warm enough to wear a trench coat I would rather just wear a blouse or sweater! Well, my friends, I can report back to you from first hand experience that yes indeed, a trench coat is the last thing that will keep you warm. But it looks damn cool.

This week was incredibly fun, and I had the opportunity to walk in my first runway show ever. Once I get the video and pictures from the show, I will definetly make a post about the collection!

Next week I am also working a few events, and hopefully I'll be shooting for my portfolio more!

Happy spring!

THE LONDON PROJECT.

Here's the final video we worked on while in London for a couple days. 

You can see my blog posts of day one and day two as well, which focus more on the outfits. Hope you enjoy the video! You can try out a Nokia Lumia for free if you're interested, details here.

See you!

LAST DAY IN LONDON.

Ah, the second, and unfortunately last post about my trip to London, which consisted of one full day, and a half day. 

The half day was reserved to shopping, checking out the city, taking a typical bus tour, and an afternoon tea at the Charlotte Hotel. To our luck, it didn't rain while we were there, so the weather was thankfully cooperating with us! 

We started with breakfast at The Riding House Cafe, where I got a cute parfait bowl and a fresh juice. We went off to shop around Oxford street, stopped at the famous Selfridges, I finally got my hands on some Laduree macarons, we had a magnificent afternoon tea, and before I knew it... it was time to go back home. 

I have a leftover 10 British Pounds, so that means I absolutely must come back soon! ;)

In all seriousness, London is a phenomenal city, and I have to thank Nokia for the amazing experience. I couldn't have pictured a better weekend! Soon I'll share the video we worked on, and the limited edition LeiVanKash piece will also be announced.

Talk soon,

LONDON CALLING!

Last friday night I arrived in London after a smooth 6 hour flight from Toronto. As you all probably know, I was the winner of the Nokia x LeiVanKash contest back in December and got to take a trip up to London to design a limited edition piece of jewelry with Leila!

The first day started really early, and we pretty much got straight to work as soon as I came downstairs from my hotel room. We were filming all around London, but while working, I thankfully got to take a tour around the city and check out Big Ben and the London Eye. We walked around several markets and cafes, went to Libertys, got pizza for lunch, and then finally it was time to design with Leila. The whole time I was overwhelmed with inspiration and encouragement, and I seriously have to thank Leila for the guidance! It's amazing having someone to look up to as a mentor. We ended the day off at a dim sum restaurant, and then I evidently crashed from a very tiring, but amazing day.
