Hi friends! I hope that your week was filled with so much love. April has come and gone, and Spring is doing her thing. Life + light trickle back into everything around us, and we emerge from our winter hibernation. Colour has flooded my world, and I've got a great big smile on my face.

I just wanted to stop in and share a few photos from my week. You should follow along with me on Instagram (I post daily as photolexx). I'm doing a 365 Photo project, and I've been having a lot of fun with it.

Can we talk about how badly I want one of these guys? Seriously, how fun is this Vespa? It's my dream ride. I've spotted it around my neighbourhood before, but this time, I had to stop and snap a photo. One day, I will buy my own and scoot around in the sunshine.

I've been in desperate need of a new pair of kicks for Spring. I picked up these Clarks Desert Aerial Boots on Newbury Street (on sale), and I think they will serve me quite well. These boots are lightweight + airy (not to mention, cute), and will carry over seamlessly into the hazy days of summer.

I'm not going to lie, I love coffee. Caffeination of all forms really. In an effort to drink less Diet Coke (because, yes, I know, it's terrible for you), I've become something of an americano addict. I guess there are worse habits to have. Plus, my home brew cuppa joe makes for the prettiest of pictures, doesn't it? I'm also loving the Daniel Wellington watch my mom got me for my birthday! Yay, for being a grown up who completes their taxes on time, and wears a watch!

And here's a selfie for good measure, because well - my lipstick is called Crazy in Love, and I did my hair that day. And the colour of my shirt is rad too. If there was any day to feel like Queen Bey, it was this one. Lipstick induced hyper-confidence, don't mind if I do. And look - my glasses! I can see again friends, and it's glorious. I can read all the street signs and everything.

I'm working hard writing some fun pieces, so check back soon!

Until then, peace + love,

Alex

Hey guys, hope you're keeping cozy in the dreary depths of February. I'm rocking butternut squash soup, thick wool socks, snuggles with a certain Rude Boy, and lots of vinyasas to stay warm + keep my spirits up.

I don't know about you, but when it's miserable outside (so much snow + slush + ice + a flawed transit system), I tend to hibernate. On the upside, it's the perfect time to give my home practice some extra love + attention.

I shared my Home (Yoga) Practice Essentials on Mass Musings today, and you should totally check it out! I will be blogging over there about yoga + travel a few times a month.

Are you practicing today? I downloaded Rachel Brathen / (@yoga_girl)'s new Gaiam yoga series the other day, and have been working my way through the videos. So far it's been a lot of fun practicing with my favourite insta-yogi. You should check them out if you're looking for some new classes to add to your online repertoire. She really is a fantastic teacher (and an uber-talented writer).

For a peek into my practice, and other adventures, you can follow me on Instagram.
