JULY PRINTABLE CALENDAR
Every month I make a calendar to plan out blog stuff. I make it cute because why not? I gave a couple away this month and Kirsten suggested I give it away to you guys!
So here you go, a free printable July calendar.
Use it to meal plan. Use it to mark down all the bbqs you're attending. Print it out and use it for whatever you need to plan.
Happy July!

DIY STAMPED WRAPPING PAPER
Ok, I have a little secret for you. It's actually not really a secret (and no I'm not pregnant!)...more of a confession...
I am hopeless at DIYs.
Ok, I shouldn't be sooo dramatic but the truth is, I'm not a massive crafter. When it comes to creating things, my process is messy not pretty. It actually states that in my strengthsfinder write up, ha!
So when it comes to DIY (and anything style) I call up the Asian Martha Stewart aka my bestie aka RACHEL! Rachel is a craft guru and styling guru and home decor guru ok LIFE GURU.
So I asked Rachel what we should make and she suggest stamped wrapping paper...yaaay!
It's not that difficult to make, you just need a few supplies and some time on your hands.
Supplies Needed- Paint (note to self...don't buy paint at the dollar store..it's junk!!!!), paint brush, eraser or erasers, exacto knife, pen, & kraft paper.
Directions-
- Draw your stamp on to the eraser. We (Rachel) cut the massive eraser into three pieces to make three stamps.
- Cut out the eraser from around your drawing so your drawing protrudes.
- Paint the stamp.
- Stamp the stamp on to kraft paper. Press firmly!
- Let it dry and then use it to wrap up prezzies for special people in your life!
Fun? Fun. And how cute is that confetti around the presents? I got it from this rad girl at Alt Summit named Gilit who runs this store called The Bannerie. Check her out!
Hope you had an awesome Canada day and Happy long weekend to all you USA friends out there! We're heading down to Cali for two weeks on Saturday....soooo stoked!!!
Stay gold,

JUNE FAVOURITES
I know I say this EVERY SINGLE MONTH but SERIOUSLY how is it almost July? (And less than 6 months until Christmas!!!)
June was definitely delightful. The sun came out. I went to Salt Lake City. I ate lots of delicious tacos.
OK now here are your favourite posts from June:
1. ALT!!!!
Your favourite posts this month were all the ones about ALT!!
-Check out how I got that hot pink edge on my business cards.
-Hear what I refused to do at Alt.
-Read the three things I took away from the conference.
2. WARDROBE // 5
The #2 spot goes to another wardrobe post! In this one, I showed you a casual look that I like to wear almost everyday.
3. ONE WORDS
I told you about the start of a new series, LOCAL. Local is all about me showing you my favourite food, coffee shops, sights in my beautiful city. I've been researching (read-eating a lot of tacos) and will be bringing you a post in a couple weeks!
5. NANA ROSA'S BIRTHDAY
I guess I'm not the only one who really loves my beautiful Nana Rosa. She turned 90 and it was AWESOME. Check out the billion photos from her big day!
Alright well I've given you sufficient reading material for this Monday morning. Hope you have a fabulous June 30th!! CANADA DAY TOMORROW YAAAAAA!

CANADA DAY THREADS
It's no secret that I'm a massive fan of the USA. (I expressed my hear felt love back in 2010 on this post!!) BUT I'd like you to know I am proud to be a Canadian. I really, really, really, love my country. Though, when it comes to fashion, I find it way easier to dress fashionably for July 4th than July 1st. Red and white usually ain't my thang but (after an intense online search) I managed to find some red & white threads that will be perfect for celebrating my beautiful nation.
Ok, how cute is that bando twist scarf? I have one in gold and I'm in love!
Here's where you can find these threads:
1. Topshop Striped Tee | 2. Topshop Mom Shorts | 3. Ban.do Twist Scarf
4. ASOS Chunky Jumper | 5. Converse Sneakers | 6. Ban.do Tote
I had to add a sweater in there because our city gets a tad chilly at night!
What are your plans for Canada Day? James & I are planning on going downtown to watch the fireworks. We haven't gone for a few years so hopefully it'll be fun with not too many drunken peeps.
Happy FRIDAY!!!
