wanderlust: mexico city

Folding clothes, checking lists, zipping up suitcases, jumping in the car, waiting in lines, sharing mug shots, walking through security, finding the window seat, taking off, excited chatter, dozing off, poking at mysterious food, filling out customs, the turbulent landing, and then...

Bienvenido! 

I'm in Mexico City with 14 teenagers, 7 other leaders, and so many wonderful, loving, and welcoming locals who embraced us immediately and welcomed us into their lives and families. 
Here's a look into my two week adventure in Huixquilucan and Monte Sion, Mexico serving and being served alongside some incredible souls.

together again // (a belated post)



So this post is embarrassingly late....oops!

Way back in June, Clara had a wedding to photograph in Kamloops, and asked if I'd second shoot for her!  Of course I said yes (duh!), and we were able to make it into a mini vacation together.  It was an amazing few days of laughter, a belated birthday celebration, forgotten luggage (sorry Clara...that will never not be funny! ;) hehe), amazing food, exploring, thrifting and just enjoying spending time with each other in person.

Kamloops was gorgeous.  The locations we found were stunning.  And the wedding was perfect.



It's always so much fun to go exploring with Clara....especially when we stumble on the most photogenic little spots!  We're like the same person, and just give each other a look, maybe a laugh, and then quickly pull out our cameras!  We saw this gorgeous white fence with pink flowers peeking out, and couldn't resist taking a few snaps on our way to breakfast one morning.






Brambles was perhaps them most unexpected and wonderful surprise of our trip!  We stopped in Merritt for lunch on our way to Kamloops, and had no clue where we should eat.  If you're familiar with the town, you'll know it's pretty small, and we had resigned ourselves to fast food when we stumbled upon this cute little café!  The food was amazing, and the décor was adorable.  It was the perfect pit stop!
And I believe in the photo below Clara is explaining why it's perfectly acceptable to begin a meal with your dessert!











All the photos are mine except this last one of Clara and I, which is from Clara!

Above are a few snaps from the wedding!  It was ridiculously hot day, but everyone was so relaxed and full of joy that it made our job so much fun!  Three cheers for an adventurous bride and groom that didn't mind trekking into the wilderness on the side of a mountain!  So gorgeous.

Hop on over to Clara's photography blog to see the full wedding!

outfit post: the nevada dress

I adore summers in Edmonton. It's gloriously hot, but not humid, and it doesn't get dark until 11pm. And we all know that long summer days and nights call for summer dresses! Which is why I am so excited about this collaboration that we've done with Bootlegger. Kelsey posted her hampton dress here, and I'm so excited to show off my nevada dress from Bootlegger's new Free Spirited Summer Collection and wear it all summer long!

I'm seriously in love with this dress...The unique embroidery immediately caught my eye and I love the fresh bohemian look it creates. It makes me think of warm sun, fields of green grass, late summer nights, chilling to indie music, and dancing as the sun sets.

Seriously. All this glorious summer light makes me so ridiculously happy :)

Happy summer dress days, friends!
