An Homage To The Journey

The days are getting shorter, and the weather is slowly getting colder. I find myself spending more time at the house these days, and when I’m not at the office or running around the country for our adventures, I want it to be a representation of who I am and what I love. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to share with you some of favourite interior design and home decor brands. Whether they are sheep skin rugs or cowhides, leather furniture, perhaps some vintage oak chairs and a dining table, these are only but a few examples o beautiful home decor styles. Roche Bobois has always been one of those brands that inspires me to better my personal space and create a home that I am happy with. So when Catherine & I had the pleasure of previewing the new Globe Trotter collection by Marcel Wanders, inspired by travel and journeys around the world, it really spoke to me. Life is a beautiful journey, and my house should be a reflection of that and so much more. Continue reading “An Homage To The Journey”

It’s Never Too Early

Some of you may not be ready for the holidays to be upon us, but they are right around the corner and this year I couldn’t be more excited! While we still have a spooky Halloween to look forward to (this is the first year I get to hand out candy at the house and I couldn’t be more excited to see the kids) I recently received a package from Hudson’s Bay  and it made me realize that all my childhood dreams are coming true. The iconic FAO Schwarz is in Canada – available exclusively at Hudson’s Bay stores across the country and at www.thebay.com – and I couldn’t be more excited. Come and see why and someone please tell Santa about the toys I’m about to share.  Continue reading “It’s Never Too Early”

Celebrating Moments & Memories

On a gloomy fall afternoon where I just cannot seem to warm up, I thought it was the perfect time to take a walk down memory lane. As we near December, I am remembering the beaches of The Dominican Republic with some pretty incredible human beings three years ago, where I was able to celebrate love. By now you know that love is the most important thing to me, and it should be celebrated in every way I can, at every chance I can.

Although things have changed since that time, I am opting to remember the good of that moment, and how I was able to mark it with beautiful rings from Maison Birks. Growing up, the brand was also something that I would aspire to have in my life. I always wanted to be married, and one day have a collection of their diamond jewelry to call my own. The love and appreciation of jewelry was instilled in me by my mom and I used to always play with her rings because each of them meant something special to her. Passed down with tradition, or as an expression of a beautiful moment in life. My mom used to talk to me about all of her diamond jewellery and I vividly remember her teaching me about where they all come from. It was that conversation which led me to discover Green Diamonds – Laboratory Diamonds later in life as I researched the effects of mining for these precious stones. To this day, I wear my Maison Birks ring and it’s modest diamond to hold on to the very essence of what it was meant to express, and everything that it once meant. Diamonds are a great way to make me smile if I’m being honest, and as I near the 5th birthday of #DoTheDaniel, I am looking to purchase myself something special for the milestone.  Continue reading “Celebrating Moments & Memories”

Changing The Way Things Are Framed

As of late you’ll realize that I have gone all kinds of introspective. Sometimes when life gives you a good shake and you need to put things back together, that can happen. But it also seems as though a lot of my friends are feeling this way too. I’m not 100% sure what happened to 2018 – the year we all said “would be different” – but it’s been a doozy. Ups and downs are always going to be a part of this beautiful chaos we call life, and sometimes I have to remind myself that I can only control my reaction to it all. Lately I have been trying my best to focus on the beautiful moments, people, and memories that have led me to where I am today. And I have been trying my very best to change the way I frame things.  Continue reading “Changing The Way Things Are Framed”
