Sephora Robson Opening

November 5, 2014

We all know that Sephora does the cosmetics thing well - the brand has earned a solid reputation for being the one-stop shop for every make up and skincare need. Last week, I learned that they also really know how to throw a party: in celebration of their flagship opening on Robson Street, the brand went all out and hosted a two-day fete on Thursday and Friday complete with champagne, celebrity guests (Coco Rocha and Alexandra Richards were in attendance!), and even lipstick dancers. And the …

Vancouver Love with Yellow Pages

October 17, 2014

One thing I love to do, both online and off, is to connect with individuals and listen to their stories. Recently, I had the unique opportunity to do just that with Yellow Pages, who chose five bloggers across Canada to create authentic and original local stories from real neighbourhoods and real residents for their Shop The Neighbourhood initiative. I was charged with the task of interviewing some of my favourite Vancouver-based small business owners to hear all about their shops, their passion …

Fall Fête

October 16, 2014

I know I'm speaking for basically the entire North American female population when I say this, but there's something about Autumn that just feels magical. The rich fall foliage, perfectly crisp air, and the way everything seems cozy all combines to make for a pretty special couple of months. So when my talented friend Erin asked if I wanted to be a part of a Fall Picnic shoot she was organizing, of course I said yes! It came together beautifully and I hope it provides inspiration for parties you …

A Case for Flats

August 15, 2014

I recently thought about how rarely I wear heels nowadays. Just a few years ago, I'd have no problem heading out in the morning in a pair of 3-inch pumps. And even though my feet would hurt pretty quickly into the day, I would always justify that by how well the shoes pulled the outfit together. Blame it on getting older, but fast forward a few years and practicality and comfort have definitely taken top priority when it comes to getting dressed. Truth be told, most of the time when I wear heels …

Off to the Races

July 21, 2014

Next weekend, I'll be spending a day at the races at Vancouver's Deighton Cup. Naturally, deciding what to wear for the event has been half the fun! I'd initially planned to sport a classic dress for the occasion but, upon coming across this black jumpsuit at LOFT Park Royal, those desires immediately left my mind. Paired with pops of red (of course) and the most beautiful, pearl adorned white fascinator by a local designer, this sleek number is lovely canvas to create a classic look with a …

Swing, Swing

July 16, 2014

Wedding season is well on its way, and as a guest in a sea of similar cocktail dresses I feel like it's always fun to use the opportunity to try something a little bit unusual sartorially. When shopping for wedding guest attire, I tend to find myself veering towards dressier rompers, or frocks that stand out without showing a lot of skin or being too attention grabbing. This vaguely Victorian-inspired Free People dress is just that, with its high neck and a silhouette that's just different …

Sweet Life, Sweet Friends

June 12, 2014

My friendships with Alicia and Alex started off like any blogger relationship: with awkward and uncomfortable small talk at industry events, after months of interacting online. Through getting together for photoshoots, working together, and lots of conversation over the last few years, though, they have become near and dear to my heart. If I'm ever feeling uninspired, all it takes is a meeting these girls to get the creative juices flowing again. I'm also so thankful for their ability to cheer …

A Navy Moment

April 28, 2014

My wardrobe has been having a bit of a navy moment: lately, I've found myself increasingly drawn to this colour since it's just as classic, but feels a little more refined than basic black. It all probably started when this skirt (and blouse) arrived from PAPER LONDON; bold yet elegant, this up-and-coming Britain based label makes some of the coolest, most luxe "investment pieces"  I've seen. They also happen to fit beautifully, and I'm looking forward to mixing, matching, and wearing these …

#RobsonLife

March 31, 2014

There are certain landmarks that are truly representative of every city. In Vancouver, Robson Street is definitely one of them. Heralded as Vancouver's most famous shopping street, my memories of Robson span throughout many years. I remember weekend hangouts with my friends when we were loud, rambunctious pre-teens, warm summertime strolls with out of town visitors in university, and nowadays it's become my regular go-to spot for when I want to shop all of my favourite retailers in one go. The …
