Friday Night Foursome :: It's a celebration!

I officially celebrated my getting a new job last friday --apres dinner at the Keg and drinks at Aubar!

Rain on my parade...

I have to say, at least the weather network was a day closer than usual on the report. 

Mother Nature = 1 The Weather Network = 0

I guess Vancouver did need a good cool down after all that heat! lol.

Okay mother nature, you're forgiven. 

Today's fashion choice consists of wellies that I once thought was a bad investment considering the consecutive days of sunshine that followed the purchase.  Now I am happy to see some rain, test out my cute wellys and enjoy the dryness it affords me.

Yep, your eyes do not deceive you....I have white wellies haha.  I thought it's kind of a fun color because even though it's white, they're rain boots so essentially they can get dirty!  I love that they have bit of sheen to them --when the light hits different corners of it different colors kind of appear.  Think of the aurora borealis effect!

I find that even with all the rain and ugly clouds, it's still nice to be able to put abit of fun back in fashion and wear something cute....It certainly makes the feeling of drearyness seem less affecting.  It's important to be dressed for the weather at all (if not most) times in my mind, but it shouldn't stop one from being fashionable while doing it!

Happy Friday!

Touring the City :: coral romper!

 

Saturday was a girls' day for me since my bf was working. My cousin and I decided to tour the city and explore. We love being tourists in our own hometown --you find out more about your own city that way!

Summer Tone on Tone:: Retail Therapy in Khaki!

I went to the mall for some cool down last night and for some retail therapy.  It was just a weird day all around and I just wanted to unwind with some window shopping.

Another day in paradise...

Today was a gorgeous and very hot day in Vancouver!  Even with the heat beaming down, there were still tons of people in downtown enjoying the day.  That's what I love about Vancouverites, they know never to waste a gawh-geous day with icky stuff like errands! lol.

A day walking around Robson, walking down to English Bay and having some drinks with the lovely view of the beach!

I hope your saturday was as lovely as mine!

Casual Date night :: colorblocking and Food carting!

Friday is our usual date night -- catching up and unwinding all while spending quality time with each other...Usually it's also the only time that I require my bf to dress up in adult clothing! lol.  Tonight however, we disregarded the usual dresscode in place of more casual style to fit our cheap date night --foodcarting!

From Paris via NYC with love - The Tulip Skirt

I am so inlove with this skirt -- it has a slight twist to the regular tulip skirt.  It was an awesome find at the BCBG outlet store while in NYC.  At first you don't think it works when holding it up --I had to take a second look, even try it on since it looked oddly mishapen when not worn.  Once I tried it on however, your natural shape fills the skirt,  draping of the fabric in all the right places and creates a wrap like effect.  It's like magic! the natural tulip shape of the skirt just appears as you wear it.

Work Wear: Animal instincts

Happy Thursday all!  A short week, gorgeous sunny day and being one day away from the weekend are all awesome reasons to celebrate!  I had a late night and barely got enough time to get ready this morning so I took the simple (and might i add rushed!) way out and wore all black lol which wouldn't have been the worst idea had it not been in the middle of a blistering summer heat!   Since I went with all black today, the centerpiece to the outfit became the leopard blazer --adding not only abit of flare but color to an otherwise blah outfit.

The Classics.

The young go with the trend, but once you get older there is more of a transition to the classics that become your timeless pieces to work with and swear by.  Here are my top pics for classics that --in my mind, will stand the test of time and prove to be as fashionable then as it is now.

Here are some classics that I am absolutely inlove with!

*sigh* A girl can dream..
