6 years and beyond.




blazer. zara. pants. country road. shoes. marni.


wow. these past few days have been an absolute whirlwind.
packing. copious amounts of laundry. cleaning. list making....

we also celebrated our 6 year anniversary last night. insane + blissful.
it's sometimes still hard to believe that i have been here for over 4 years now, and this is home.
not canada, but africa.
but looking back, i would not change a thing!
we kept things super low-key, and just basked in each others presence.

sidenote:

i am still debating on weather to bring the marni's to nyc. my rationalizing is: walk in flats and change when need be. as walking blocks in nyc with these inches would definitely cause some permanent damage. i still have war wounds from my 2 months in the city last year.

well guys, i am off to finish packing and will most likely see you again in nyc (!!!)
i arrive monday night.
have a beautiful, sun-filled weekend.

  2. love the excitement that hits in before a trip- the packing, the lists.. yeah!

    and africa.. I´d love to come there some time, my father lived in south africa for some years when he was a youngster so I bet he would accompany me in a minute. :)

    looking forward to lisa in NYC!

  18. Hi Lisa,

    I stumbled upon your blog some time ago and absolutely fell in love with it! Apart from the fashion I have also enjoyded the South African aspect, as I will be spending the year 2010 studying there. I'm so excited, and seeing all the beautiful pictures you've taken doesn't exactly help the long wait...

    Congrats on the anniversary & have a blast in NYC!

    Greetings from Helsinki, Finland
