All Season Dress

Two of the best features a dress can have for me is pockets, because I usually carry two phones at work and my Starbucks card as well as many documents in my hands while I'm running around and multi season functionality.

This dress has pockets and I can wear it in the summer or cozy it up with tights and a cardi for winter!

Dress from Hills in Kerrisdale, shoes from Barney's, belt from Aritzia and necklace from Anthropologie.

First Post - Seattle Shopping Post!

Biannca and I went down to Seattle last Monday and we have already planned our next trip down for the end of Sept. Seattle is always just an all around glorious time and I honestly cant wait to get my hands on more All Saints.

Here is my first outfit from my purchases.

I'm wearing a Madewell dress, Madewell mint green belt, TopShop jean jacket and Prada wedged.

I went for straight hair and a makeup free face.

More subtle Peplums

I rekindled my love for this super old skirt! I think I bought it when I was 18 but totally forgot about it. I obviously love it's black and white and the pattern is super understated... I also love the "bubble" shape of this skirt!

Top, skirt and belt all Aritzia.

A la Tiffany's.

To be honest, I was suppose to wake up and shower this day but I decided to messy bun it and sleep in.

To compensate I wore a polished look, and to my surprise I got tons of compliments on this look!

Moschino dress, Manolo Blahnik heels, Forever 21 necklace.

Hot Child in the City.

Sometimes when you go out you just want men to notice you and buy your drinks (probably because you bought a YSL clutch and now all your money is gone...) I wore this.

Dress from Bluebird, shoes from Barney's and the YSL belle de jour clutch.

Ps. It worked.

Happy BC Day?

Obviously I don't show much pride when it comes to my country or my province but today was BC day and this is what I wore.

Vintage dress, heels from Barney's, belt Aritzia and necklace from Anthropologie.

my take on summers "mint"

I'm not much a fan of color, if this blog speaks to anything it speaks to my lack of luster in my wardrobe and I wouldn't have it any other way, however when my mum and I went shopping she said I needed some colored sundresses for evenings in the sun.

I chose this "mint" colored Club Monaco dress which is so easy to wear, I paired it with my leopard print Barney's shoes and usually would top it off with a dark, crop denim jacket!

Becks comes to Vancity

Friday was a very exciting day at Holt Renfrew Vancouver. Victoria Beckham made a special appearance to promote her clothing line.

She was as adorable and trendy as ever wearing a dress and carrying a day clutch of her own design and signature sky high Christian Louboutin heels.

If we weren't already in love with where our jobs in fashion can take us this was reassurance.

I wore my summerissima Christian Louboutin the the photo and the other shoes were Gucci loafers, Zanotti flats and Louboutin booties.
