    romper

                    Let me start by saying I usually hate rompers. Probably something to do with being tall, but they never, ever fit. Most have an elastic/cinched waist that just keeps pulling the shorts up, and does a horrible job of looking flattering.  This romper has none of that! It’s basically just a…

    how to wear fall trends now 

                    Here in Vancouver, we’ve been blessed with an amazingly hot summer. So hot we are facing water shortages and forest fires, which is the major environmental downside to an unseasonably warm few months. However, even in these soaring temperatures I am being bombarded with fall/winter trends for the upcoming months. Like…

    déjà vu

                    Wearing my boyfriend jeans again! These pants are so comfortable. I especially love them paired with a dressier top, and this simple button down from Aritzia does the job nicely. Tucking it in gives a little bit of shape to the outfit. And heels! Can’t do a good boyfriend jean without…

    forever in blue jeans 

                      I’ve been looking for a good pair of boyfriend jeans for the past few months, but nothing stood out until I found these Levi’s. However, in order to find them I made the mistake of going to the new Designer Outlets at YVR on opening day. It was packed and traffic…

    little white dress

                 The best summer alternative to the little black dress is a crisp white number. If you haven’t already checked out Vancouver based blogger The August Diaries, she has a lovely blog, amazing style (both in fashion and writing) and is a big advocate of the lwd. West Coast represent!  This one is delicate…

    crop top

                    You guys are probably sick of me talking about how hot it is in Vancouver, but this heat wave doesn’t seem to be coming to an end anytime soon. As a result, I only want to wear things that are loose or stretchy, and mostly just slide my feet into birks…

    white + black 

                    Can’t go wrong with the classics! This is what I wore to work today. The pants are slightly cropped and super thin, which is perfect for for all this summer heat. They are dressy enough to be professional but still fun with the little booties and very comfortable.  Normally crop tops…

    mad maxi 

                              I have never before found a maxi that actually reached to the floor on me, usually the fabric is just flapping around my ankles. Not a good look! Much to my surprise, I actually have to wear heels with this one, which is probably why it…

    mixing patterns

                    Today I took my addiction to stripes one step further and made life a little more interesting by doubling up the prints in this outfit. I always admire looks where people have mixed prints without going overboard, but don’t often attempt it myself. The easiest way to do this is by choosing the same…

    chiffon 

                 Another day another open button down! This time I picked a chiffon top from American Apparel. I’ve had it for years, and when I worked for them I pretty much wore this top or the same in white everyday.  Normally I am all for loose pieces so it’s a good contrast for this fitted…
