Captured on Camera: EuroTrip Day 1 – Rome

Published by

I had never been to Europe before I took this trip. Yet, I had been travelling the world since I was a mere babe and it took 25 years to eventually get to Europe. I made a promise to myself last year when I turned 25 on October 25th; I told myself that this would be a year that I would never forget. Even though I had never been, I knew that as soon as I arrived in Europe that I would fall in love. I would fall in love with the people, the culture, and the history. I mean sure, Canada has people, culture, and history too, but nothing like what I experienced in Europe. And no; I am not being biased because I am of European heritage…I promise! I took an overnight flight from Toronto to arrive in Rome mid-Friday morning. A weekend in Rome? Yes please!! Side note: Pearson Airport has undergone a lot of changes since I was there last year.  I was a very happy girl relaxing in that tech-savvy world …

Curls on Camera – Twists

Published by

I attended a great event this past Saturday night called Curls, Coils and Cocktails. I always get so jealous when I see events being held all over the world for my fellow naturalistas, and yet in Toronto, there is hardly anything for us girls with curls! The curls had to be worn out for this event, naturally . In any case, I had a lot of fun and even met a possible new hairstylist – because…I actually don’t remember the last time I got a haircut. Maybe it was November?..I can’t remember. I also won a prize! Two pairs of earrings designed by Toni Daley. I can’t wait to wear them! Read more about the event and see what happened to my hair!

Captured On Camera – Sully Wong x ONEXONE HOPE Sneaker

Published by

It’s always a good day when I am introduced to designers who partner with charities for a good cause! Last week I was invited to preview the Sully Wong x ONEXONE HOPE Sneaker, which aims to raise money for the ONEXONE Paediatric Wing in Hospital Mirebalis in Haiti. After being introduced to the designers and hearing about the great partnership that this collaboration was promoting, I had to check out the sneaker for myself. George Sully describing the details of the HOPE sneaker Checking out the shoes at the preview. The shoe which retails for $150 (plus HST), was made for ladies and gents (that’s right it’s unisex!), and is a limited edition creation (only 360 pairs were created). Which means: when they are gone, they are gone. It also features the signature colours of the ONEXONE organization and the best part is, 50% of the proceeds from every sale will go to the cause. Talk about making philanthropy fashionable!   With George Sully (one of the designers of Sully Wong) Today (July 19), the shoe will be sold at …

Captured On Camera – Élana Camille Gets Fit.

Published by

Today I did a couple of things that are not part of the norm for me. I went to the gym & I ate a vegan meal. I decided that NOW is as good a time as any to start living a healthy lifestyle. Because…if I’m to be completely honest….that doesn’t happen right now in my life. At all. Where should we start? With the fact that I don’t eat breakfast (I never make the time, even though I could), I love chocolate and sweets (the word moderation means nothing to me), and I would rather walk a mall shopping than walk a 5k (but I still somehow get a little workout from shopping – don’t we all?). But I’m going to try as of today. That’s a good start right? Proof that I was in the gym!  The second little piece of new-ness came about after I left the gym. I decided that I would continue being good to my body, and came across a vegan market/restaurant in Liberty Village called Live Market. It was …
