farewell to the big city lights

the life of ayla would not be normal if it weren't for a change every 4-5 years... from one city, to one province, to another city in another province, I am now in ALBERTA! Writing this post from my new location up north near the oilsands, I give you a glimpse of most (but not all) the people that made my farewell worthwhile in Toronto. Cheers to my friends in the best city in Canada, Toronto, here are to the memories we made, the tears we've cried and the drinks that we spilled! Thanks to everyone who came out at the end of September for my departure festivities. Toronto, you will be missed, but I'll be back soon enough to rip it up again!

looking back

i don't even know where to begin it's been so long....
i think the best way to update the world=wide=web on my life would be to let you know about one of the best experiences i had this summer..
i played carrie bradshaw and made a trip to the Hamptons in New York State. My dear friend, Jess (she is kind of like the Samantha - ballsy, interested in PR, does not take no for an answer-type girl), jumped on a plane with me and met up with friends in NYC that brought us out to the Hamptons for an amazing weekend of champagne, poolside lounging and the number one event all weekend: the Polo match that was sponsored by Patron, Ralph Lauren, and Mercedes Benz. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G... take a look at the photos. Each one kind of shows you what I mean..
