Romper from Barefoot Contessa // Jewellery from H&M // Plum Blazer // Joe Fresh Sandals // Adam’s Sunnies
Friday morning we woke up to some beautiful sunshine, I couldn’t help but get out my favourite romper and some sandals! Danielle and I took advantage of the warm weather and walked to Starbucks for a much needed caffeine refreshment on our lunch break. I treated myself to a non fat (and no whip of course) iced mocha. What’s your favourite Starbucks drink?
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

The darling Solo Lisa and I ventured off to the very first Anthropologie store in Vancouver. This city has been waiting so patiently for one and my goodness, it’s nice to have an Anthro location so close to home! We toughed it out and went on opening day Friday along with the rest of the after work crowd. It was busy, yes, but they were extremely well prepared. They were well staffed and able to provide excellent customer service despite the lineups and general customer chaos. I found a lovely pair of high waisted shorts and these green trousers and ogled about 100 other things! Looks like I’ll just have to go back. Oh, my poor bank account 🙁

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND xo
The intimidating thing about this spring is all the extreme shift in trends. Suddenly my denim is being replaced by trousers, skirt hems are longer, and my policy on matching colours and prints is a thing of the past. It’s out with the old and in with the confused new, but I really kind of like it. Change can be good.
Easing into mixing colours has been fun, but it was time to move onto prints. In order to make this process less shocking, I decided to pair two prints that are in the same colour story. A black and off white striped cardigan, and a black and off white seagull print blouse.
I’ve seen so many great print combinations. I can’t wait to experiment with florals as well. What prints have you mixed? Any method to your madness?

i feel like a fraud.
i call myself a “fashionista” and yet, i’ve been parading around lately in leggings and rain boots. let’s take into consideration how uninspiring this weather has been. and the fact that i have a closet full of beautiful spring merchandise that is too cold to wear and a closet full of cute winter things that i am sick of wearing. i’m so ready for summer, aren’t you?
i ran around like a crazy person after work last thursday trying to figure out what to wear to the obakki show. i knew all of vancouver’s most stylish would be in attendance and i just didn’t want to get there and feel out of place, you know what i mean? avoided a near disaster when i spilled sauce on my pants just before heading out the door. nothing a little tide to go pen and blow dryer couldn’t fix 😉 lb and i showed up at the beautiful st.andrew’s wesley church on burrard street super excited. we landed a great spot and even sat next to jen and mina!
the show itself was magnificent. they branded their upcoming collection so well, from the haunting church setting to florence + the machine – drumming song. the obakki fall/winter line had some gorgeous cocoon shaped sweaters and jackets, as well as some maxi dresses that i will definitely have to purchase. not only were the clothes amazing, but laura beth and i both loved how their hair was styled and the use of shocking bright lips.
you can view the entire show in photos here

the proceeds of the evening went to the obakki foundation, this video by the talented candace meyer for obakki makes you feel like your money has gone to a good place. around the 2:06 mark is my favourite part, though the entire video is amazing!
