The Painted Hand

Gladstone Hotel

I was really fortunate and was able to stay at this very cool hotel called The Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Each room was decorated by a different artist and I stayed in the Art Nouveau room. My bathroom had this amazing mural, which you can see above and the rest of the room was decked out in beautiful silk curtains and Art Nouveau attire. I highly recommend this hotel if anyone ever travels to Toronto. It's also located next to the independent and hip boutiques - definitely some of the best shopping in the city.

Shades of Montreal

So, as I mentioned earlier I went to Canada in June for work and had a great time wondering the streets of Montreal and Toronto in search of emerging fashion trends. With two cameras in tow I managed to take a lot of pictures, and discovered many colorful little treasures mixed in with all the mood photography I was taking for work. My first stop was Montreal and have to say, I was really amazed with all the shades I found in their architecture. I hope you enjoy!

Country Living

So, this is old news, but I had assisted the wickedly talented Mr. Paul Lowe of the Sweet Paul blog last year for this Country Living shoot and ended up having my modeling debut. Yep, that's me in the dress - I was quite excited when the article came out. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. You can see more of the photos from the shoot at Paul's blog. I'm done traveling for a bit and will post some pics from Montreal and Toronto soon!
