just a taste

Here's a little moment of zen as I regroup my thoughts post-Portland-visit. Trying to fix a broken iPhone and getting ever more consumed by Middlesex is taking up a bit of time. There is much more where this came from...

maybe i'm just crazy

Well, I think it's about that time again folks. The once-every-1/4-year post from yours truly. I've had some ideas bouncing around in my head about my blog lately so there will certainly be changes (not to mention more posts) coming.

For now, I wanted to share my summer through photos. I've recently become engrossed in Instagram, the iPhone app with the fun effects that acts like a second Twitter for photos. Twitter is like the know-it-all big sister to Instagram's dumb-but-pretty younger sis. That is to say it's fun, effortless and requires little thought. Here are some of my Instagram captures to date...



Summer reading, Mexican brunch, party on my family's sailboat what whattttt.



On the plane to beautiful sunny Winnipeg, 2 of the best (one you may know as Pullteeth in Winnipeg, the beach (it was +30 degrees!), the most amazing drink invention ever; the Bulldog Beergarita.



My janky sparkle nails, Stu with the best tag I've ever seen, a faraway beach in Whistler, my new varsity jacket.



self-explanatory, Stu's tattoo - not new (I think it' unreal), waiting for the Greyhound to Penticton with my crochet TOMS, Plinko gumballs at the bus station.



Penticton private beach paradise, Rickards White forever.

There's a little taste of Instagram. If you don't have an iPhone, you can check it out at this awesome third-party site called Gramfeed. If you DO have Instagram, follow me! My user name is stefinmotion.

If I had a Tumblr...

If I had a tumblr this is what I'd post. But I have a blog so I'm blogging it instead. Here's some eye candy for you on this lovely Friday.

what's in my bag?

I'm always inspired by "what's in my bag" photos like this one on 10.17, or this one my friend Lynlea did! There's also this one (even guys do them! Who knew?). I just think it's kind of a unique glimpse into somebody's every day life. ALSO I got a new bag for Christmas so what better reason is there to take some photos? Here's what's in my bag:

Clockwise from left:

-Ray-Ban oversize aviators

-Joe nailpolish that I'm currently wearing (for touch-ups)

-Bus/skytrain pass

-Nail file

-House keys on CHER keychain (perfect gift from my parents from Vegas; OBSESSED with Cher)

-Trident Spearmint gum

-Simple men's wallet

-Carmex

-Rings that never stay on my fingers due to fidgeting

-MAC lipstick in Honey Love

-Jolly Ranchers

-Ancient iPod
