    how to roll any jeans 

            1) Double roll  Great for boyfriend jeans, the double roll looks casually cool and hits at a flattering spot on your ankle. Can be used on skinnies too – especially super long ones. I double roll the majority of my jeans, especially with sneakers or booties.          2) Half cuff  Best on…

    pumped up kicks 

                 I love the first few days of new shoes, especially brand new white sneakers. Fresh out of the box they are so bright and perfect! These are my new favourites. Because they are leather I sprayed them and hopefully can break my pair/year white converse cycle. Gonna try so hard to keep…

    how to dress for travelling 

                 If you’ve been reading the blog you know I’ve been in Toronto for work and to see my family for the past few days. It was just a short trip but meant two 5 hour flights in less than a week. Flying can be exhausting, so it helps if you are prepared…

    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…
