Interior design and DIY blogs have a tendency to send me into hours-long day dreams about how I want to decorate/re-decorate my apartment. Brooklyn to West happens to be one of my favourites, and also probably the blog/shop that helps me procrastinate on all my real-life work the most.
Ariele Alasko is the mastermind behind Brooklyn to West – a DIY/Interior Design genius, who not only created the company, but designs and builds all the pieces in the shop herself. She also opened a restaurant in Pacific Grove (California) that serves up some of the most delicious looking pasta dishes I’ve ever seen.
I’m not feeling all that eloquent this morning, so I’ll leave you with the links to her Shop/Blog/Restaurant, and let them do the talking for me!

With no snow on the ground, it means a lot more time spent at the park with Gus, and less time watching him lose the ability to use his wee legs and tip over like he has been paralysed. Since his surgery, it’s really been difficult getting him back into the swing of things. He was a dog who absolutely loved off-leash parks and playing with other pups. But after his surgery (and once the snow was gone), he just seemed so timid. He’d stick by my legs and was not the Blitzing Bichon that we all know and love. Thankfully, with Matt having some time off work, he’s been a great papa and brings him to the park almost daily. I got to see him live in action this weekend just sprinting around the park, and I couldn’t have been more pleased.
Despite the cold on Saturday we spent some time letting Gus do his thing, and letting me be silly for the camera. It was probably the worst day to be wearing a hat (wind!!!), but well, we know how I feel about hats as of late. The wind will not thwart my efforts to be a hatted dame.
Wearing:
coat, shoes, gloves vintage
scarf, bag thrifted
socks Target
hat UO
Sorry that the shop and blog have been lagging these past couple of weeks. I take the blame entirely. Alex is pulling her weight as usual, but a crazy work week and daily yoga classes (Lindsay and I are doing a 30 day challenge – we go every day!) have my brain feeling like a bowl of oatmeal by the time I get home! I promised I’d have a post up last night before bed, but I totally forgot and cleaned my closet and drank a gin drink instead. Oops! Anyway – here is a please-forgive-me-Alex post, before today’s shop update!
This Ali Golden collection is a Fall/Winter one, but if I’m being honest, Spring has hardly reached Toronto at all, and the cold grey days have me layering sweater on top of sweater just to avoid wearing my Winter coat anymore. I can’t even look at anything colorful in my closet – it just reminds me that I don’t remember what it feels like to be warm.
Enough griping about the weather though (this blog is starting to feel like a journal about how sad the winter makes us!). I would wear every single piece in this collection – and my favourite part, is that I could even wear it to work. Can we also talk about how cute that blonde model’s hair looks with those little flipped out bangs?
Sorry again for being a bad blogger – I’ll be back on my game asap!
