heat wave

No joke, today was almost 20 degrees! I cannot wait for more days like this once summer hits. I loved sunning myself on this bench and soaking up some rays this afternoon. Sunshine really does make me happy! Forever 21 sabotaged my inbox with a 40% off coupon last week, and it didn’t take me…

spring layers

Today was the perfect temperature. You can feel the spring warmth in the air, and I spent some quality time in the park enjoying it with my boyfriend and our dog. I wanted to have bare legs, but needed more coverage and coziness up top. This sweater is lightweight cotton but does the job nicely.…

singing in the rain

Vancouver is a very rainy city. We get to enjoy a temperate climate at the cost of many downpours, but as much as I worship the sun, the rain doesn’t bother me too much. This little umbrella lives in my purse for days like today. I find the practise of keeping one on you at…

that 70’s show

Everything old is new again this season, and there is a huge focus on looks straight from the 70’s! I went to Coachella last year and after seeing a million girls in floral crowns, heeled booties and rompers, I thought I was over “festival” style and destined to never wear crochet again. But then H…

how to wear green on st patrick’s day

If you aren’t in college, Irish or looking for an excuse to grab a pint, St Paddy’s is probably just another day. However, the army jacket (still holding strong from seasons past!) is a great way to give a quiet little nod to the tradition. When I bought this jacket a few years ago, I…

canadian tuxedo two ways

Denim is always a staple, but it’s going to be even more huge this spring. When you’re playing with denim on denim, I find you need to either stick with the exact same wash or two completely different ones, as I have here. For a casual daytime looks, can’t beat bright white converse. But a…

nude shoes

Everything in Vancouver is already starting to bloom. My boyfriend spoke to the Rotary group at Terminal City Club this afternoon and I got to tag along so I thought I should dress up a bit. Plus we have date night tonight! I’ve worn this dress on here before, but it really is my go…

graphic tee

I don’t own a lot of t-shirts, but this one from the guys section at Value Village is just oversized and long enough. It was actually warm enough today to wear this. No sweater! I paired the t-shirt with a blazer and heels to make it a bit less causal. Plus it’s all black and…

appropriately nautical

I had a pretty busy morning! Woke up and went to the gym, but while I was gone my boyfriend pulled something in his back. It was bad enough for an emergency chiro and doctor’s appointment. Had to get dressed pretty quickly and then off to Steveston, a little fishing community in Richmond, BC. It’s…

easy breezy

It was pretty windy today by the water! I love being able to enjoy how beautiful Vancouver is in some of the photos I take for this blog. This is a variation on my start of spring staples (turtleneck sweater, jeans, booties) using a piece I bought at the end of last summer. The grey…
