I’m thrilled to have been a contributor in this months Xquisit Magazine sharing one of my favourite fall recipes: goat cheese stuffed beet ravioli in a brown butter shallot sauce. Definitely not low-cal – but really delicious, and bright pink! It doesn’t get much better than that. You can find the recipe on page 68 here.

ps a sweet interview, an ombre inspired guest post and some notes to myself. It’s been an active month over here!

I’m over here participating in Jess’ “Design Your Life” guest series. Check it out!

My very favourite blogging duo, the adorable Molly and Sally, have asked me to be a part of their awesome series: She Wishes She Was Wearing. Hop on over to A Piece of Toast to check it out! This anti-fashionista happens to have some pretty sage advice ;)

With the temperature on the rise (it’s supposed to be 21 tomorrow!!),
it’s pretty clear that my spring fever is in full bloom.
Whether it’s fresh tulips beside my bed,
drinks on a patio (that view wouldn’t hurt either),
or a leisurely bike ride on a Sunday afternoon,
I’m really looking forward to all things spring.

In the meantime, here are a few things I’m loving on this week:
a building filled with hammocks
a rainbow hotel
fifteen (fifteen!!) different mac & cheese recipes
the most beautiful line of tiles
an English town I’m just dying to visit
and some “hipster branding” (is it a problem that I love them all?)

Additionally, it’s been a busy few days for lark & linen!
I was featured on The Everygirl
Lauren had some questions about my trip to India last year
and I made it on the “up and coming” bloglovin’ list! Oh happy day!
(of which I’ve since been taken down, but still, Oh happy day!)

Have a wonderful weekend suntots <3

I’ve been a Style at Home magazine reader for as long as I can remember. To date, I have recollections of heading to the corner store to pick-up a sour key, a Bop (for my monthly dose of JTT, of course) and the latest Style at Home. So you can only imagine my excitement when they recently asked me to participate in their guest-blogger series. While brief, it gives my validation that I am on the right track and I’m doing this for a reason. I’m now more convinced than ever that this is where I’m supposed to be. Hop on over here if you’d like to check it out!

In addition to my post this morning, I’m over on Buckets & Bunches while Chelsea prepares for her upcoming nuptials (congrats Chelsea!) There I’m showcasing a few classic pieces I currently have my eye on – you may want to go take a gander.

Happy weekend lovelies!

Those of you who’ve been around for a while may remember my “100 things” series; a series in which I spent 10 weeks listing 100 simple things that made my days just a little bit brighter. I had so much fun putting it together back then and I knew that I wanted to keep it up in one way or another. Here we are, almost a year later, and I’m back with another rendition. Here are a few simple little things that are currently making me happy. What are some of yours?

ps today is the last day for the giveaway if you haven’t entered yet! I’ll be drawing a winner tomorrow afternoon.
pps if you so please, head on over to the lovely Alexandra’s blog, Avoiding a Quarter-Life Crisis to checkout my interview!

As of this moment, I envision a wooden bathroom counter in my future. They instantly add that touch of warmth to a space that would otherwise feel cold and stark.

ps. head on over to Simply Irresistible where the sweet Lara has asked me to share a few of my fav Toronto spots.

While doing some research for an upcoming project, I found that my internet travels led me astray (I’m a compulsive link clicker and often have as many as 30 tabs open at once. It’s a bit of a problem). I didn’t find what I was originally intending, but fortunately it wasn’t all a waste for I stumbled upon this dreamy space. The herringbone floors, the intricate ceiling, the perfectly chic, brightly lit kitchen… feast your eyes on these goodies as they are aplently.

ps. as an aside, the lovely Victoria interviewed me for her blog yesterday. Take a look!

I’m so pleased to be one of over forty bloggers participating in Megan & Katie’s “Surprise Party”. They’ve recently curated this event to announce what I know will be a hugely popular venture. Head on over to The Fresh Exchange and The Pink and Blue Blog to take a look at their new endeavour and take part in some great giveaways (you know you wanna!) While you’re there, see if you can spot my post. Hint: it’s chalk-full of pink-party-goodness.

Today is my first day at my brand new job! I’m not sure if it’s the fact that it coincides with the first day of school, but I’m feeling like a child all over again. I’ve had my outfit chosen for a week now, I’ve brainstormed hairdo’s and the nerves and butterflies are in full force. I find myself hoping that my new desk is in the perfect location and that I sit next to someone cool (although, designers are cool, right? I think I’ll be okay here). I was too nervous/distracted to put together a post this morning, so please accept my apologies and know that my scenes from my weekend will be up tomorrow.

In the meantime, head over to the lovely Sofia’s Journal where I’m holding down the fort while she’s off on a much deserved vacation. Over there you can checkout a few of my very favourite beauty products.

And if you have a few good luck vibes to spare, feel free to send em’ my way. Much appreciated!

You can find me over here today! Victoria from vmac and cheese has asked me to participate in her “behind the scenes” series and I could not be more thrilled! Check it out to find out where I plan on travelling, and what I hope my life looks like in the next five years.

I’m so excited to announce a guest post for a series entitled 5 questions that I’ve recently put together for Leah at Freutcake. Have you been to her blog? If you have not you must go. Now. Immediately, if not sooner. She has a serious eye for all things pretty, and not to mention an impressive collection of incredible recipes (yes, I’ve flagged them all for future use, thankyouverymuch). So if you don’t go to check out my 5 questions (here), at least go and check out her stuff. You can thank me later!
And thanks again Leah for including me in your series!

Remember when I spoke about painting my desk (here)? Well, guess whose desk before & after was featured on Design*Sponge this afternoon! Lil ol me! I’m so pleased, I could almost fist pump (but nobody wants to see that). Check it out -> here! (weeeee!!)
