Le Germain in Toronto

My Toronto accommodation was booked for me a couple of months before the actual trip. This being work-related, I assumed I only had the usual uninspiring Hiltons and Sheratons to choose from (the latter being the then booked option). 


Then I read Kate's wonderful recap of her stay in Nashville. 


Which is how I landed at the Le Germain - a beautiful boutique hotel located on a quiet street in the Entertainment District in downtown Toronto.

Notwithstanding the ugly carpeting, I adored my room. Lucky I did, since I spent most of the day in it logged on remotely at work.

Unlike my usual coffee breaks, the ones that week involved playing around with the in-room Nespresso, with CNN/ BBC News blaring in the background...

...and on a particularly bad afternoon, a nice long bubble bath..

Since I spent a great deal of time in bed whilst on the phone with home, crying into the pillows, I was glad they were plush. As one who never strays from their side of the bed throughout the night, it felt oddly comforting being smothered by so much bedding. 

Toronto Outfits?

It's been a couple of weeks since my Toronto trip. I had a couple of posts planned but found it surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) tough to put them together due to recent news. 

I fear if I wait any longer the photos would become redundant so let me start my trip recap with an outfit post.  

I was so smitten by the front bar of Terroni on Adelaide Street where these photos were shot.  So much so we decided to cancel our initial plans and return for dinner later that evening. Alas that was not one of the besy decisions of the trip. 

Anthropologie-catalogue inspired: Anthro Pink Cottage Blouse, Armani denim, Steve Madden Grannie lace-ups, ASOS chevron rings

Aaandd that's it folks. My darling photographer was only around to take a day's worth of outfit photos.  

I do however have a photo of all the clothing I packed for the week-long trip. Irrefutable evidence of my light-packing skills.  

Have a lovely Thursday!


P.s. I lied - here's another one, taken minutes before I got completely drenched by the mist:
