Introduction Hi, I'm Charmaine, an old soul from the Canadian prairies. I started this blog in 2011 as a place to document travels and stories for my friends and family, however it has morphed into a space for me to show off my eclectic, vintage inspired personal style, photography, adventures, and the odd rant about politics. I hail from the streets of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, spent a considerable time over the past few years living on and off in London, England, and currently call Toronto, Canada home. I studied English Literature and Art History at university, and hope to pursue my love of fashion, photography, writing, and the arts in my professional life. Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you stay along for the ride! If you have questions or comments, please email me at charmainelowe1 (at) gmail (dot) com. Cheers!
