i am obsessing over the navajo inspired print on this jacket. picked it up second hand at front & co., like who on earth would get rid of it? also excited about another new member of the fam; the aritzia pantaloons. my new favourite, i can barely describe my feelings towards them.
spent the weekend going through and purging a bunch of stuff, anyone want to come over and buy any of it? i’m only half joking. i think the realization that i have to merge my closet with someone else’s is setting in. it’s all so scary and exciting at the same time. a potentially life changing step in my life. there will be a lot of talk about the move coming up. it’s consuming my thoughts and the source of most of my stress. any closet organizing tips are much appreciated. and seriously, come shop my closet in person, i’ll love you forever!

    oh my god. I can't believe anthro is coming to Vancouver. If I wasn't broke enough now, I will FOR SURE be. happy tears.

    Who would ever get rid of such a fabulous jacket? I don't know, but I'm glad you were able to snap it up, it looks great on you!

    Love this beautiful setting by the way, gorgeous spot for a photo!

    As much as I have no desire to return to my retail days, the idea of working for Anthro is incredibly tempting 🙂 I'm loving your Navajo jacket and satchel (and frankly, the idea of shopping your closet is very tempting!) Good luck on the closet merge- it's not as scary as it seems, just involves a lot of compromise 😉

    I agree with the other commenters, that jacket looks 110% awesome on you. And the pants! I love! I envy!

    I must find myself a nice spring jacket this year. My winter jackets are a little heavy.

    The little voice inside my head that likes to utter impractical thoughts is wondering what it'd be like to work at Anthro one day a week for the employee discount. 🙂

    You look great as always. Are those the pants you bought at Aritzia that day we bumped into each otehr on Robson?!

  • CessOviedo April 12, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    Ali you look so sophisticated, the print on that jacket is so cute! Closet advice? just tell him to get you a huge walk in closet, that would work right?

    I am loving this jacket, so lucky! And those pants look heavenly! I just got a pair of similar pants from Joe.
    Are you going to apply at Anthro? My friend is the manager at your new Anthro. She use to manage our Anthro and left for Vancouver.

    These photos are so gorgeous! And I'm super excited about the new Anthropologie… I happen to live a few blocks away! Yay!

    Also, re: closet organization, I did a post about it here http://www.alison-elle.com/2011/02/tiny-closets-organization-101.html which I think you already read. But I cannot stress how much those Antonius baskets and the flocked hangers have helped me.

    ooh, the print on the jacket IS so stunning & so are your fabulous pictures. Congrats on your move, that's exciting & can't wait to hear more about it. As for closet tips? eeek. I have a small closet and I just keep mushing. xx veronika

  • Hayley April 12, 2011 at 11:53 pm

    LOVE your pants!! such an amazing outfit!
    I was hired to work at anthro based on my shopping outfit that day. dont tell me clothes cant change your life! haha

  • liz April 13, 2011 at 3:47 am

    Save some stuff for me and I will make a personal visit this spring! Seriously, you have the cutest clothes 🙂

    I used to share a closet with Chris but now I think I've doubled my inventory and will have to pare down again, my suggestion is to just take over 7/8 of the closet. We're girls, we deserve it!

  • Eurica April 13, 2011 at 5:05 am

    Stunning shot! I'd love to have a photo on that spot! So vintage-y! ♥

    I love that print! I was planning to get the Julian Louis for Aldo wedges. The print is great when the rest of an outfit is plane jane. Aren't you so excited for the move? It's such a big step. 🙂 Besides the smaller closet space… but your bf can put his clothes on rolling racks right? That way you'll get the entire closet…. jk! Just curious, but where were these pictures taken?

    i love Front & Co … and second hand buys are the best ones!! i love the colour and mood of these pictures!!!! =)

  • The Loveleighest April 13, 2011 at 7:46 pm

    This photo is amazing, along with your outfit of course! I bought these magical hangers at an 'as seen on tv store' they are called wonder hanger and they hold 5 pieces vertically, it's genius! It saved my closet. Don't stress about the move, every thing works out in the end!

  • Holly April 13, 2011 at 8:01 pm

    you look so good! i NEED to find me some trousers ASAP!

    and i only wish i could shop your closet/work for anthropologie! i'm moving to north van soon – but not soon enough! 🙁

  • alana April 13, 2011 at 8:21 pm

    ALICIA! I want EVERYTHING you are wearing here. Seriously. You look amazing and I love the pictures themselves. Great location. Where are you here?
    I too am also getting ready for a boy to move in with me. I really don't wanna give up my closet either! So sad. Good luck with organizing!

  • Alicia April 14, 2011 at 10:46 pm

    Thanks gals! The pics were taken at the cabin in Merritt. My post about the cabin is coming up, I'm just slightly behind..as always! xo

  • Holly April 15, 2011 at 2:07 am

    i love these photos! they have a nice, vintage feel.
    oh and i hadn't really mentioned it, i was a little nervous about getting started, but guess what??!!
    I'm part of the management team for Anthropologie!!!

    My advice is not so good cause I can never get rid of clothes unless it's falling apart or no longer fits. Find ways to store your clothes during the seasons. Under the bed, under a guest bed, in a non-bedroom closet, trunks… I have a clothes hoarding issue and turned the spare room into a walkin closet with a daybed for guests. It's not like we have guests everyday… So that's okay lol
