Monday @ 2

What does your Monday at 2pm look like? That was the idea of our photo project for this week. We enlisted the help of family and friends across the globe and armed with camera phones and canons, this is what we came up with….

Photos in order of timezone:

Extensive hours on the beach leads to the mastering of the handstand. Surfers Paradise as a back drop is merely a coincidence. But never the less, a nice touch.

Enjoying an hour of quiet time while Dre naps…candy, people.com and maybe even some facebook creep time.

Today was about enjoying the beautiful sunshine + being outdoors, I just got home from a fun shoot of my niece + nephew and took my Mom’s pup for a run down by our pond.   The ice has been melting on with this incredibly mild winter weather.

 I wake with intent walk farther gather what falls carry it folded in the hollow of my hand—like garbage—like hope I can’t remember the smallest promises.

Monday’s errands.  And there is a lot of them.   Library, bank, post office, gas station, Walgreens and Walmart, with a 4-year-old in tow.  All before picking up Noah from school in 45min?  Yeh, not gonna happen!

We plan to do this project again…so let us know if you’d like to participate!

oh la la!

A few seasons ago I snapped a pic of a total cutie and posted it along with the rest of my Fashion Week pictures on Facebook. I was stunned to get comments and find out that he was Taylor Fuchs, from lil’ ol’ Saskatchewan…White City, in fact…about 2 hours from where I grew up. If you’re from a small town…you understand that it is not often that someone from your area makes it into the international modelling world-and its pretty exciting when someone does. I’ve kept my eye out for Taylor ever since….and this year I caught him coming out of the Micheal Kors Fashion Show. Besides being totally smokin’ he was charming, humble and very sweet. Go Saskatchewan!

Here are a few others that make the heart pound a little harder;)

Sean O’Pry. I think many will agree that he is one of the top male models in the industry right now. If he isn’t opening Perry Ellis at NY Fashion Week than he is gracing the massive posters at your local H&M, as well as doing campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs,Calvin Klein…the list goes on. Besides all of this…he is one of my favorites. Year after year he is sweet, talkative and a total gentleman, in fact…he really needs to meet my sister! 😉 Swoon!

 

Another Canadian!  Marcel Castenmiller also walked in the Michael Kors Show. Known for his androgynous look he’s been featured in Kenzo, Theory and Gucci eyewear…just to name a few. Nice work Edmonton!

 

The German born Lenz Von Johnston…He is usually the most goofy and interactive of the bunch…this year he was pretty quiet….quiet perhaps, but I love his look.

Max Rogers…watch for him in the Tommy Hilfiger Tailgating ad campaign

 

 

Models goofing off outside of the Marc Jacobs Show.

…and by the way?!  Is this not the funnest blog I’ve done so far or what?!  Which one is YOUR favorite..?

poutine and such…

I spent a week in Alberta after my sister’s graduation in Saskatchewan (pictures of the gorgeous graduate are on the way!)…and I found some of my favorite things that I can’t enjoy in New York.

While in Lethbridge I had to check out the giant second-hand store Value Village (I also love searching for a bargain!), poutine at Red Dog Diner, coffee at the Penny Coffee House, giant jacked up 4×4 trucks, the famous high level bridge, sushi nights with Wayne’s family, my chubby nephew Daxon, my beautiful niece Danika, aaaaand Pita Pit….sooo not fair that we don’t have one!!

Street Machine Weekend was on in Lethbridge while we were there. This lady cracked me up….

Vacation in the Valley

Ahh…Vacation! Sorry if the blog has been a little slow the past few weeks. We have been enjoying time by the pool, by the BBQ and a lot of time avoiding mosquitoes! The WHOLE Petays family -along with husbands, kids and some cousins were able to all get together and it was an absolute BLAST!!!

Here’s a few fun shots from Saskatchewan.

Melissa and I have done a few fun shoots together which we will post once we get home….its been a blast to be creative together and see what we come up with!
