TGIF: Flower Blazer for fridate!

Whenever the sunshine shows up and the end of the week rolls up, it's sure everyone's making a run for the door before the end of the work day--I'm no exception.  I love Vancouver all year round (even in the freezing temps!) but nothing shows Vancouver's beauty and wonder like a nice sunny day (be it winter, summer spring or fall) especially at the end of the week!

I was inspired by the beauty of the day and thus, for our weekly fridate I decided to dress with the spring blooms in mind. To check out what I wore...

Weekend Roundup: tempermental weather and fridate wonderfulness!



Pacific Centre dome - view from the inside

 Happy Monday lovelies!

I thought I'd share a little bit of my city's architectural wonders to start for a change! gorgeous, no? This is the view from the inside of the Pacific Centre Mall dome. 

I am once again looking worse for the wear from the weekend after a busy yet uneventful past few days.  I like when the days just flow and things happen and yet it still feels relaxing. 

The weekend started out right with work letting out an hour early for the weekend.  I wasn't able to get out as early, leaving just half hour shy of our regular clock out, but being in the position that I am, I rarely ever get to partake in those little perks...

Paisley Blues

Today was one of those days that just didn't seem to end.  Actually, I've been having those days a lot more frequently since I started school...The things we do for higher education.  It'll be all worth it in the end, right?

Today I was in a rare mood to dress up for work...

Throwback Thursday: NYE 2011 fun!

For throwback thursday I thought i'd dig up a gem! I love this picture --New Year's Eve 2011, no better way to ring in the new year than with those you love.  I was so inlove with this dress, and my shoe changes! lol.  It comes in handy to stay at the same hotel that the party is held.  We stayed at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the same place as the NYE gala we attended.

To find out what I wore, read on!

Hello, Tuesday! 'after a long weekend' blues. literally.

Bonjour mes amis!

I have no idea if that's even right lol.  Pardon et moi, my francais is a little rusty haha.  Rainy tuesdays, if there is anything else that can make you feel ho-hum about a day--it's rain!

I am in all my geeky glory today, sporting the all-important glasses :-) No, not for fashion.  It's unfortunate for me that while i chose the frames which were trending at the moment, it's an accessory that i can't live without most days.

The windows into my soul need focus hence the glasses! (i ramble).

It's not really a fashion related post, but if you must know, i am wearing (and taken in an unflattering angle might i add) Banana republic blue cable knit sweater.

Weekend Round up: Victoria Day long weekend fun!

Happy Victoria Day!

It was an interesting but good long weekend marked with weird weather in the beginning...

Weekend Round-up: last sunny weekend

I had a bit of a long weekend thanks to being sick on friday...I spent the day at the doctor's and pharmacy lol.  Life of a kid in a bubble lol -- well I'm not really a kid and no, I am not in a bubble.  I do however, have an unfortunate allergy-related respiratory problem (sounds more serious that it actually is!) that makes it sucky to go for long periods without my trusty inhaler.  lol. Anyways, enough of that...

I was able to get better over the weekend though, after some much needed rest, and my inhaler! :-)

Here's a recap of my weekend...

Monday Inspirational Poster: Keep it classy..

An inspiration found on the internet.  Ah, the internet, sources of all things useful and not so much lol.

sunday errands grecian style: white dress and gladiator sandals

Happy Sunday!

Today I woke up to an intense heat as my room was engulfed with the afternoon heat bursting in from my windows.  It was only fitting as I had long been wishing for some sunshine and heat so that I can wear my summer clothes already lol.

I can honestly say that the one choice on my birthday weekend in Vegas has been such an important one since the sun started to shine around april....My ray-bans are godsend! The polarized lenses are actually my faves and unfortuantely, have resulted in my neglect of my Chanel sunnies.

Weekend: fun in the city and gladiator sandals

Whenever the sun is out, count on me to be out with it! I love enjoying the city during spring/summer days when the sunshine is out on full force.

The day was beautiful --full of promise and the air crisp.

We got up early on saturday to get to Meat and Bread for some brunch.  Trust me, it is so worth the trip! 

Countdown to summer begins...

So even though I am going to have a slightly boring summer this year due to academia (higher learning folks!) I will still try to enjoy the sunshine as best I can. 

I've already started preparing for summertime when I went on a small shopping spree last night!

check out my new summer purchases...

Rachel Zoe: lovin it.

I am not a shopaholic by any means...(i know, when someone starts a sentence like that it sounds like a lie lol) no really, i'm not.  I have my moments when finding the it article of clothing pushes me on a hunt all over town scowering until I find it.  I don't mean the it clothing meaning trendy--just what i deem to be the perfect one for me.

I went through this two years ago when I became slightly obsessed (not like crazed fan obsessed) with finding the right romper.  I finally found it only to find out there's no size at BEBE and by the time I was convinced that it was the perfect one for me, it was all sold out! (wtf right!?).  I think it may be partially due to my OCD nature, wanting things a certain way to the point of going crazy lol.

I am currently on the hunt for two things, coincidentally from the same designer: Rachel Zoe.
