Summer Anthem

July 16, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Return of the short posts! Icona Pop’s “I Love It” has turned into my summer anthem for 2012. I listen to it when I run, drive, let loose… pretty much all the time. Now, usually when “I Love It” gets played, someone interjects with “I prefer this one” and links through “Manners” by the same group. “Manners” is awesome- but it ain’t my summer anthem. However, because I’m feeling generous, I’ll link it through as well. Like many good bands, this duo […]

Blurry Vancouver Lights at night

It’s a Force Field

March 4, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This song is slowly creeping its way into my favour. Anyone else unable to get it out of their heads? Tomorrow it will move to first place on my running playlist. This photo, taken from Granville Island after a seafood dinner with some of the greatest company one could ever ask for, is of light worms invading Vancouver. Watch out. “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris

Back in the Montreal Groove

January 6, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I’m back! Though… admittedly not for very long. Montreal has received a healthy dose of snow in my absence. For a metropolis it is amazing how much snow it gets every year: usually 218cm with 60 days of snowfall (though it doesn’t beat my hometown of 238cm in 46 days!) Living in Montreal in the winter is like living in a completely different city than in the summer. A snowy Montreal means: icy sidewalks and unsteady footing, cold noses, a […]

Looking through a snowy window at Montreal

“Worse than….”

November 23, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Last night I arrived home from my 10 day trip in Paris and Scotland. It turns out I was just in time! I woke up at 6:30 this morning to find it had been snowing all night. It’s a magical day, that first day of snow. The world is all of sudden a completely different landscape- granted it is a landscape you’ll be tired of in five months- but for now, coupled with the newly strung Christmas lights around the […]

Close up blonde wearing red lipstick

Bordeaux & Paris

November 18, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Paris is the only city in the world I feel I could walk out into the street in broad daylight wearing this shade, Bordeaux, of lipstick. It’s strangely empowering, I was struttin’ all day. As a thank you to my gracious Parisienne host, GB, I’m embedding one of her favourite songs. Enjoy. “Elle me dit” par Mika
