A Sparkle Tee From The Sea

June 28, 2015June 28, 2015 by Alyssa Garrison

Happy Pride weekend everyone!

I know I’m a little bit late to the game with this one but trust me, it’s been a tough week in RAOP land ok? That said, it’s also been a really BIG week in the world! Gay marriage is now legal all across America, and it’s been truly incredible to watch my social feeds fill up with endless rainbows and messages of support.

To celebrate this magical time, I’ve teamed up with Charziie to host a giveaway! You can win yourself a hand-painted, one of a kind rainbow glitter tee (cropped or full length), and all you have to do is tag two friends in my Instagram post, and follow both Char and I! Bonus points will be awarded if you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, and you have until tomorrow evening to enter. Sorry, Canadian and U.S. shipping addresses only please!

I Chose Art Lookbook Shoot

November 28, 2014June 22, 2015 by Alyssa Garrison

I wanted to start off by saying how sorry I am that I haven’t been blogging as much lately. Life has gotten beyond crazy busy for me lately, and between juggling three pets, freelancing, and a full time job, I’m having a hard time managing my time. That being said, I’m here, I’m back, and I’ve got some fun new pastel posts coming your way very soon!

For now I thought I’d share an interview I recently did with I Chose Art, a local blog that does “look books” with all sorts of wonderful folks. Dani Lyn Ayee and I got together in front of my favourite doorway in the city on a super windy day a few weeks ago, and I was so happy with the results when she finally published the post this past week.

Pastel Pool Party // Part 1

August 19, 2014June 22, 2015 by Alyssa Garrison

It’s finally here!

It seems like it was ages ago when Paige and I first started planning our Pastel Pool Party, and now finally after a sparkling debut on The Glitter Guide, we can share all of our favourite magical moments with all of you!

The only problem is… we have an awful lot of favourites! Over 100 to be exact (Our photographer Scarlet is sort of a genius- lets leave it at that), so we’ll be posting photos in waves over the next few weeks. I hope you fall in love with all the pink, pastel, cake and confetti, and feel inspired to throw a Pastel Pool Party of your own one day!
