To The Beach

April 7, 2015

dress up jean jacket
Considering I’ve lived about a 5-minute drive from the beach for most of my life, I’m not really there a whole lot. The beaches here in Vancouver aren’t really the most picturesque, and quite frankly being in the sun all day with big crowds just kind of drains me. A few days ago, however, a slightly different light was cast on it: the relatively warm yet just cool enough weather meant that it was basically deserted and perfect for a late afternoon walk. This year so far has been pretty marked with challenging some previously held ideals, and as silly as it may sound, seeing the beach in this new way felt a little bit symbolic of that.

p.s. Heels on the beach are a bad idea. I don’t recommend it.

    LOOVEE the clutch! Is it new? I’ve been eying some of their large man-totes over at Holt Renfrew lately but seeing you style the clutch is giving me ideas for their women’s bags again haha

    Those red lips! Loving that color, Jen! It looks like it was a perfect day for an introspective stroll along the shore. I’m with you on avoiding the crowds and blazing sun!

      Hello 🙂 The lip colour is a Mac lip pencil in Brick (here: http://bit.ly/1Ogn2ZJ), blusher is the one from this palette: http://bit.ly/1FUEKTp. And unfortunately I bought the pearls in India!

    […] I recently found this denim jacket. Though I’d already had one in my closet for a few years, my previous jean jacket had always felt a little off to me. Although I did wear it, the piece wasn’t something I […]
