Larkspur has grown in leaps and bounds since Alex and I sat together in a Tim Hortons (it was a Sunday night, and we were tired of walking around in the cold finding out everything was closed) plotting when and how to launch the shop. I’ve had an absolutely amazing time doing our first pop ups and working with other bloggers on sponsorships and hosting giveaways, but I have a lot on my plate at the moment and even more in the works, and I’m afraid I’m going to be bowing out of Larkspur, and leaving the shop and blog in Alex’s very able hands – she’s got big plans for it, and I can’t wait to see all the places it’ll go!

I”m sure I’ll make an appearance here and there, so I won’t say goodbye! It’s been so lovely getting to know you all, and I’ll keep you posted on any future projects!
Till then, keep your eyes on this shop, cause I have a feeling Alex will be making big things happen!

Larkspur Birthday Sale

July 12, 2013November 11, 2014Leave a comment

Tis’ me 25th Birthday today! To celebrate this occasion, everything in the shop is 15% off until Monday, July 15th. Just enter HEYIM25 upon checkout to receive your discount.

I just got back from a massage and crazy water circuit spa, thanks to my wonderful boyfriend. And tonight I will be dining at my favourite pizza joint, devouring tiramisu, and maybe sip a couple glasses of wine.

Enjoy your weekend! Mine will be spent jumping off cliffs at Elora Gorge, and cooking up some veggie dogs and marshmallows at a beach time bonfire!

Shop Update

1990’s Cream Denim Jumper and Jacket Set

Happy Thursday all! Power and internet are back in my neighbourhood (phew!), just in time for me to update the shop! Come on by and take a look at the newsies, and maybe a look at the oldies! We still have a bunch of stuff from our look book that have yet to find new homes!

It is my (Alex) birthday tomorrow, and I plan to share the love with a little discount on all items in the shop. Stop by tomorrow to find out more!

Also! You may have noticed the blog layout has changed. The old one was lovely, and we miss it dearly, but I am CSS challenged, and it did not have all the layout capabilities I was looking for as we move forward with the blog, and maybe add some new friends to the side bar. I’m still playing around with it a little bit, so do not be surprised. Slowly but surely.

Last night Toronto got hit with an insane amount of rain, and everything flooded. If you google image Toronto Flood 2013, some pretty crazy pictures of the flooding come up! For the most part I stayed safe and dry – my block lost power for about an hour, and then it came back and I walked down the street for pho. Mostly I’m just jealous of all the people whose office buildings are closed cause of power outages/floods/road closures, cause I got caught in the rain on my bike and am sitting here under neon lights shivering, wishing I was curled up reading any of these books and dressed in far warmer/comfier clothes than I am!

Everyday is like Sunday

It took a very long time for me to find a place in Toronto that I could call home. When I moved here 6 years ago, it took me about 2 years to stop going back to Ottawa so regularly to get my fix of “home”. I have moved six times since re-locating to Toronto. I couldn’t stay put for one reason or another – room mates leaving, unpleasant apartments etc. I’m now in a place that I love, that feels like mine, because it is only mine (and Gus’ of course).
