Send your blogger to Italy contest


 
Dear Italy,
My eyes have only met you in pictures but I have dreamed of your architecture and how it would feel to stand beneath it. I have wondered what you taste like and the way you might look in the morning light. I want to meet you and learn for myself that you're more than just a bowl of pasta.

11 Canadian fashion bloggers were asked to style an item from Twin-Set in a location that is reminiscent of Italy. I thought about holding a bottle of wine and standing below an olive tree, but I live in a place where it's hard to find Italy so a church made of cobblestone will have to do. The reason for taking pictures in a landscape inspired by Italy is because Twin-Set is holding a contest that promises a trip to Milan for the winner! All you have to do is vote for your favorite blogger.

I'd love to put Italy in my passport's pocket so if you could vote for me here --> Twin-Set Style Contest I'd be forever grateful! You can vote every 24 hours until May 10 11:59 pm.

It is coincidental that my parents landed in Italy yesterday for a much-deserved vacation. They don't often travel without me and my brother so I can't help but throw my hands in the air and say "Italy, Italy, somebody take me to Italy!"

    come home springtime

    I wish I could continue the story of how springtime is fastened to the sun and the moon. Instead, a storm of wind and frozen water has ruined all of my plans. I should expect this by now - I do live in a city of temperamental weather. Every morning I scan the sky, afraid of the wind that comes with it, hoping that by the end of the day I'll be wearing a skirt and smelling the harebells that grow in our neighborhood.

    Springtime I'll stop waiting for you. It is such a waste to constantly write about my length of love for spring flowers and warm weather when every year the same cycle continues. Winter always feels too long and prematurely dancing at the first sight of sunshine just ends in disappointment. I need to write and dream about things other than how the sky makes me feel.  

    Wearing a dress made of flowers and socks, blooming red, is the medicine I need for having no flowers growing in the dirt outside

    “You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
    ― Pablo Neruda
