On Friday Geoff & I grabbed our bikes to soak in cool fall vibes. We bumped into so many pals who were out doing the same.
First things first: Geoff gave the neighbourhood feral cat a lil' snack.
Stopped at Ezra's Pound on Dundas for some coffee and reading. I have been reading The Line of Beauty for what feels like forever (I have cheated on it a few times, with the new Nicholson Baker for example, which is really a book meant for cheating).
Cat ears on errrrrrrrything.
"I'm the luckiest girl on the lower west side..." (um, sorry everyone).
My bike is a heap for real. But I love it anyhow. And yes, I will take any opportunity I can to wear a cape.
We always like to visit Erin when she's working at Robber, where I admired jewelry from Iacoli & McAllister (as well as the Shadow Cloak from Samantha Pleet, which I'll have to daydream about forever).
We gave Erin the new Real Estate record as a belated birthday present and it's really well designed.
Geoff has been looking for a pair of nice brown shoes for ages and finally found a vintage pair at 69 Vintage, deadstock and for a tiny price. He was so proud of this purchase. I think they're lovely.
"Hold my tote bag." We are just such huge fans of tote bags, but that's a cool band too. At this point we had bumped into Katie and Geoff took some photos of us, which I thoughtfully adorned with cat heads.
We ended off the day with the new Lula for me and Vietnamese food. Best.

fawn: Um, yeah... not one of his best! I just like the phrase.
mackenzie, Jane Flanagan, Hopscotch, in dreams, Diana, Lolo, aldrin, Lauren: Thank you all so much for the sweet words!
hila: That's so great! I love hearing about that kind of thing. I think the Gainsbourg might be a little more obscure, but hey -- bonus points for that, I guess!
P R I M O E Z A, dianne @ icefloe, katbird, Kathrin, Anonymous, lola is beauty: Thank you! The print is now available, if you were interested.
carissa: That would be amazing!
april: Ha! We might do a black on natural tote, but not sure about a white on black print. Glad you like it!
lizzie: Ha, yeah. It's not really deliberate. We just work slowly and always have to wait for funds to catch up as well. That's just how we do! Thanks.
Jen: Yeah, they're a cool company!










Dearest A!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day!
I esp love your boots, the cat ears and Geoff's wonderful find.
Hope to see you soon!

Wasn't the weekend perfection? I wanted it to last forever. Love how you spent it, the images you captured.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I miss being able to bike and wander neighborhoods. Gotta figure out a Sunday replacement.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day. I visited Toronto a few summers ago--it was humid and sticky and a million miles away from rainy English summers. It is funny for me to read your blog and realise it's not always melting in your city.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for ages now, long before I moved to Toronto. It's so strange I find strangers writing about my favourite spots!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wish I was slightly more committed to learning to ride a bike, you make it look rather blissful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous round of photos. I love how you spent your time.
ReplyDeleteyour life looks like a really excellent music video ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel like we live in two completely different Torontos! I guess it doesn't help that I spend most of my weekends at the playground, grocery shopping, cleaning, or in the office. I just rediscovered personal Google maps and am now making note of all of these lovely places.
ReplyDeleteLove you and your cape/bicycle/shades!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! I feel like I went on the walk with you guys. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day! Great photos too. x
ReplyDeletesounds like a gorgeous day out exploring. love the coffee image + geoffs brown shoes are fabulous! very snazzy. dayle

ReplyDeleteI love this post, especially the picture of your cat cover and the necklaces at Robber.
ReplyDeleteI am such a tall cat, haha.
I love your cape, your cape on your bike, and your cat head.
ReplyDeleteyou're day sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletethe cape is amazing. keep wearing it.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are totes cute!!
ReplyDeleteEvery picture is so so perfect, wish my days were like this.
ReplyDeleteVietnamese & lula would be the best end to a day for me too!
ReplyDeletethat lula is a ghost for me... can't seem to track it down...
Toronto looks so beautiful. I've never been, but your blog makes me want to come visit.

ReplyDeleteOmgosh where are those cat ears from?? So cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Fall adventure! That iphone cover is too cute.
ReplyDeleteMissing Toronto in the fall...
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are an awesome find... it's surprisingly hard to pick up cool men's shoes these days that don't have a light contrasting sole...
Cat ears are awesome...
