Milano Men’s Fashion Week wrapped today and I have to admit, my curiosity was piqued 😍. Loved seeing Kyle MacLachlan walking for Prada, Etro’s refreshing graphic approach to their otherwise tried and true, and JW Anderson’s club kid collection with that gorgeous oversized 👁 print 👏🏼. Did any of you feel inspired by the past few days of runway shows or was it just me?! A little fashion escapism is just what I needed 🥰 xx MM

Updated my “Licensing Library” with this floral color rush 🌸🌺💧inspired by the amazing flower stalls I saw in Paris & London last year. Which design is your favorite?! 1. The magnolias on blue or 2. The teeny tiny roses 😍?! xx MM

Since I’m positively itching to get back to my beloved NYC 🗽 (currently waiting on my passport to be renewed here in Canada 🤪) here’s a lil remix of my NYC puffer girl, sans Xmas tree, in all her multicolour winter glory 🌈. It’s been 6 whole weeks since I left New York for London (now Toronto) and I cannot wait to reunite with my studio, my friends, my fave restaurants, and my tennis racket 😂. May the passport Gods act promptly xx MM

My loves, it only took 3 months BUT my Paris City

My loves, it only took 3 months BUT my Paris City Guide is FINALLY live on TravelWriteDraw.com 😍🇫🇷✨!! I’ve compiled all the places my sister and I loved from our trip into a (hopefully) comprehensible list of what to pack, see, do, where to eat and play. Have a read at the link in my bio and here’s to adding more great city guides and travels to the calendar in 2022 🥰✈️!! Where in the world are YOU planning to visit this year?! xx MM

From Paris 🇫🇷 to Toronto 🇨🇦 (swipe), there is no friendship I cherish more than the one with my sister 🥰👯‍♀️☕️!! I wasn’t too certain we were going to be able to have these moments this Christmas when everything went sideways in London 🤪. All I can say is, my gratitude for making it home this season knows no bounds. And with that, we are heading into the last 4 episodes of Emily in Paris Season 2 today 😂. What will you be binge watching this Boxing Day?! All my love xx MM

Merry Christmas Eve & Happiest Holidays, my loves!

Merry Christmas Eve & Happiest Holidays, my loves!! I hope wherever you are in the world right now, that you know you are loved, and feel joy for the gift of today. After everything we’ve collectively been through these past two years, and myself personally, I can’t help but feel so much gratitude for everything I have in this moment. Being with my family, regaining my health and strength, reconnecting with all of you. I’ve never been more acutely aware or thankful for everything I already have in my life. Wishing you all a gorgeous holiday. With love always, xx MM

#ad Honeymoon in Hawaii anyone?! Heck, I’ll take

#ad Honeymoon in Hawaii anyone?! Heck, I’ll take any excuse to go at this point 😂. Excited to share my fifth, final, and favourite wedding inspired illustration I created with my friends @MarriottBonvoy tonight!! It’s been a while since I’ve felt the sun kiss my skin, not to mention listening to the ocean waves crash against the shore of soft sandy beaches 🌊. I’ve only been to Hawaii once in my life but it’s sweet smelling air, technicolor sunsets, and laidback vibes left an impression to last a lifetime. Here’s to dreaming up more exquisite travel (for weddings and other special occasions) in 2022 and beyond. Oh and Merry Xmas Eve, darlings xx MM

#ad A rooftop rehearsal dinner with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge 🌁 or a round of golf for your bachelorette weekend at Half Moon Bay ⛳️🏌🏻‍♀️?! I’d take them all 🥰. I loved dreaming (and drawing) up the most magical wedding event settings with my friends @MarriottBonvoy this past fall!! Where would your dream wedding event take place?! Head to my IG stories now for more inspiration, loves xx MM

And just like that…one whole month of the highes

And just like that…one whole month of the highest highs and lowest lows in London draws to a close 😭❤️🇬🇧. Those closest to me know just how much things didn’t quite go to plan on this trip. What was meant to be a two week reunion tour, to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in 2 years, quickly turned into 10 days of isolation as I fell ill and recovered from “the” virus, only to remerge to the city being ravaged by its newest variant 😳.

I consider myself so darn lucky I received my booster before touching down in the UK. My health bounced back in what felt like the blink of an eye. My heart still swells over having been surrounded by the most generous, loving, selfless friends in London who raced to grab groceries and send care packages to lift my spirits (you know who you are 🥰). And if I’m honest, despite everything, I’m left feeling nothing but immense gratitude.

Spending time with the people in this city, who are truly my second family, are some of my happiest days from the past two years. This trip sharply reaffirmed what matters most to me in my life: connection to everyone I love ❤️. I’m thinking of every single one of you who is currently sick and recovering and all the businesses who have had to close early this year due to this 5th wave. As an eternal optimist, I’m hoping the return to normalcy is just on the other side of this rollercoaster ride.

And lastly, thank you ALL for your patience with me as I really stepped back from posting on my main-feed this past month. I was navigating through so many emotions during this trip. It was a lot to get my head around. But now that I’m safely in Canada with my family, and feeling mentally refreshed from a month away, I’m so looking forward to getting back into my groove with you all once more 😘!! All my love xx MM

#ad A dream winter wedding in Aspen or a sunset proposal in Santa Barbara ✨; can it get anymore magical than that?! This past fall I worked on 5 new wedding inspired illustrations for my dear friends @MarriottBonvoy and I’m so excited to FINALLY share the finished results with you all 👏🏼!! Head to my stories now for inspiration on where to plan your dream wedding in 2022 and beyond 😍!! All my love xx MM #MarriottBonvoy

A lil roundup of some of my favourite moments in London thus far 🥰🇬🇧✨!! I forgot just how much joy this city brings me and that supremely special sense of balance between personal and professional life. I appreciate it all the more in light of everything we’ve already been through and continue to endure. I hope you are all staying safe out there and excitedly gearing up for the holidays with your loved ones. More soon, darlings, and happy Sunday xx MM

Happy December 1st from London, loves 😍🎄🇬🇧✨👏🏼!! The Xmas decorations are just enveloping you here in the city and it feels like I’ve completed the circle in experiencing all 3 cities I drew inspiration from for my @Dogwood.Hill holiday stationery collection 🥰🎁. I haven’t posted on my main-feed at all from this trip bc a big part of me just wanted to be entirely present while here with the people I cherish so very much!! For anyone asking about my fave reccos, be sure to checkout the “London” IG story highlight I’ve been saving throughout the past week. I promise I’ll share more on here shortly. It has just felt so great to be fully in the moment. All my love xx MM

I’ve got Miami on my mind 🥳🌴✨!! With the cooler temps rolling into NYC (and Art Basel just around the corner) it’s hard NOT to dream of these technicolor, Art Deco buildings lining Ocean Drive in Miami Beach 😍. And with that, I’m sooo excited to share the final 4/4 animated illustration from this brilliant US through the seasons series I worked on this past Summer/Fall for #MarriottBonvoy!! We have a whole new collection coming up shortly that I cannot wait to share with you!! Until then, I’m curious to know if any of you have plans to travel before the end of year?! Would love to hear them below xx MM #MarriottPartner
