watches

I was on the search for a new watch to replace my Cold Picnic (IV) watch (purchased from Of A Kind) because it stopped working all of a sudden (yes, I replaced the battery recently). I was looking at Olivia Burton (I) , The Horse (II), and Daniel Wellington (III) watches, but I ended up getting a Daniel Wellington Watch, mostly because I was perusing Instagram during my stopover on my flight home from Toronto, and one of my favourite bloggers posted a discount code for DW, so I got a great deal on the watch. If this weren't the case, it would be a hard choice deciding between Olivia Burton watches and The Horse watches because they had a more affordable price point. Olivia Burton has some really nice floral & animal watches with lots of colour options. Meanwhile, The Horse is the definition of minimal and classic. Daniel Wellington has both minimal, classic, and colour choices because they sell different watch bands for accessorizing options, so best of both worlds!

knitting


I've been knitting a lot lately. This year I've advanced beyond scarves. I'm also trying to make gifts for people for this upcoming holiday season. Here are some of the things I've knit and the patterns I used.

Impressed App





I ordered some prints using the Impressed App. And I really, really love the prints. They are so high quality. The Deco prints came on a thick card stock and the photo book came with high quality prints on really nice paper. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Bonus, the company is Canadian and the products ship from Toronto. The price point is good too, considering the quality. I've used other apps to order prints from before (Social Print Studio) and Impressed App proves to be superior. Impressed App uses images from Instagram, Facebook, and Dropbox. I think my only complaint is that it would be easier to edit the layout on a browser, because it took a bit of time figure out how to use the app.
