books and summer skies

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. Today has been my first day off in two weeks, so I am absolutely loving life to say the least. Here are a few shots from when I was back in Edmonton, AB. This first shot is from my very first day back in Canada after almost 8months. I brought back a few Irn-Brus to share with friends. If anyone hasn't tried this soda yet, it's pretty much like if a cream soda and orange soda had a baby, it would be Irn-Bru!! 

One of my favourite things to do while enjoying beautiful weather is some good reading.After it decided to stop snowing in Edmonton, the weather quickly changed to warm, beautiful sunshine! Remi and I took advantage of this for a short hour at Hawrelak Park one afternoon. I finished this novel, One Day, by David Nicholls that my good pal Sam lent me. I would highly recommend it! 

These last two pictures are from a cast BBQ that we had during Spamalot. Those two good looking people there are my pals, Katie and Jonathan! Missing them very much over here in London.


Also, just wondering if anyone has any good book recommendations for this summer. I am looking for something light hearted. Possibly an adventure book or something of that nature! I sure hope everyone is enjoying this heat wave! Remember ... lots of water, lots of sunscreen, and lots of ice cream!

Thanks for tuning in!

How amazing does my little sister look in this red polo!

Vintage 80s FOX Red Polo Shirt T Indie Sexy Fit - M

This red Fox Polo is such a fun summer shirt, perfect for your preppy/nautical look!


I just adore these pictures of my sister. I miss that kid SO much. Every. Single. Day.
Nicola has convinced me into doing many things in life. It was Nicola that got me started on blogging. She persuaded me to watch Vampire Diaries and she quite literally forced me to start using Pinterest. I am now addicted to all three of my examples. What can I say...she knows me well. 

In the past year Nicola has started her journey as a young interior design student and I could not be more proud of her. It's fantastic to see her so passionate about what she is studying. I loved looking at all of her projects while I stayed with her in Vancouver. Just a week ago she passed her first term with flying colours. It's amazing to see her do her thing, AutoCAD-ing her little butt off. So proud of you, Sis!!!

First Weeks Back

So my first few weeks back in London town were very interesting to say the least. Leaving behind my parents is always a hard thing for me to do. I am very, VERY close with both my Mum and Dad. I am a very lucky girl! They are so supportive and loving, and they've had to put up with me running away from home since I was sixteen. My leaving was nothing new, but it only seems to get harder as time goes on. Also, my Mum just had a total knee replacement, so I was very thankful to be at home and support her through that.

That first picture there is a shot of my desk. I love all of the things in this picture so much. The card was waiting for me on the fireplace mantel in my bedroom, given to me from my darling flatmate, Ruthie. Those two ladies are definitely us this summer. The vase is a recycled bottle of my favourite lemonade, made with rose water. The rose I found in perfect condition just lying on the sidewalk. I nearly tripped over it on my way home from town. I scooped it up from the ground, the gentleman behind me even said "Good fine, there!"

I finally tried a real 99 ice cream, with Big Ben as my backdrop. A 99 is quite simply soft serve ice cream with a flake, a UK tradition. I've been wanting to try one of these since last year when I first arrived. I have NO idea why is took me so long to try one (I've had 2 more since then, hehe).

Catching up with my amazingly talented pals, Adam and Nic. I love these people. We were pretending that we were back at the Edinburgh Fringe, were we spent our past August together. 

Me with the big purple cow. Those of you Fringe'rs might recognize this venue as the Udderbelly. Everyone else...I am not joking. It's seriously called that.

A quick snap of Piccadilly Circus in between handing out CVs.

Lot's more coming your way soon - Thanks for tuning in!

People and Places: Part 2

Blackheath Station

South Bank

Yup, that's London. 

My dressing room spot. 

Closing night party.

Cheers.

A letter.

Here are some pictures from before I had left to Canada. Better late than never, right?

So in my last few months in London there where a few big changes. The first big change was moving to Blackheath and renting my first flat. It was very exciting, but also extremely scary all at the same time. I am so happy I have a room I can call my own. 

The second exciting thing was being cast in an Off-West End production called One Touch Of Venus. I learnt so many important lessons during this experience. About myself, about other people, about the business. It was such a lovely group of people, I am very thankful for my experience and new pals.

Come back, Georgia.

Hey Everybody!
Happy first day of June. So I'm not sure if most of you know, but I have a pretty big lady crush on Melinda Sullivan. She's a young tap dancer originally from LA and has been training with the best since the age of 14. Some of you might recognize her for SYTYCD season 7.

The video I've posted above is for her new class called, Untapped - No Tap Shoes Allowed. It's aimed at beginners, but I can't get over the cool, sleek, and relaxed style of this combo. I definitely learnt it in my kitchen yesterday. It just shows that simplicity, timing and space can be everything.

I hope you enjoy it!

Love,
CP


PS. Isn't that song amazing. So hot.
