This is it – the uniform as of late.  Some ripped denim, as much black as possible, something leopard print and/or fur.  That’s just fall 2013 in a nutshell!  What are you wearing non-stop lately?

P.S. It’s the last day to enter the Best Day Ever Giveaway!  Don’t miss out, enter NOW 🙂

At 10 pm one night last week, I was like hmm right now would be THE perfect time to completely pull apart and re-organize our closets.  Because, you know, what you think will only take a few hours turns into you having to carve out a body-sized spot on the bed for you to sleep and then to continue on for most of the next day.  But hey, it looks great!  I also feel like I have an entirely new wardrobe, which is what I always try to tell myself when I’m mid-project looking at an impossible pile of things to sort and wishing I’d never started.  It’s ALWAYS worth it!

Fall Photoshoot

Photos by Christie Graham Photography // Concept and Styling by Best Day Ever

Holding a pumpkin is about as themed as things are going to get this year.  Totally ran out of time to get any sort of costume together!  I feel like if I don’t start in like August that it’s a scramble.  That’s okay in this day and age though, because I can just live vicariously through everyone’s spooky and creative instagrams.

I had so much fun with Christie making the trek out to the burbs for these photos.  That beautiful morning fog and soft lighting made this shoot quintessentially fall.  I love how these turned out, working with Christie was ahhhmazing.  Hope you enjoy them and Happy Halloween to all!

Okay, okay, it might not be the best giveaway EVER, but it’s pretty darn amazing!  Best Day Ever and I have partnered together to give one lucky bride-to-be an entire Day-Of Wedding Coordination Package!*  Normally about a $1000 value, this includes way more than just 24 hours of work.  In fact, the BDE team prefer to call it the Month-Of Coordination Package, since they take care of email confirmations and last minute coordination as the big day approaches.  Plus, they party rock on the day to make sure that your vision comes to life and that your best day ever runs as smoothly as possible.  This is a MUST ladies.**
TO ENTER:

1) Get your pretty little self over to the Best Day Ever Facebook Page and click LIKE!

2) Comment below (or take to Twitter or Facebook) and let me know you did so.
BONUS ENTRY if you tweet:
I want @bestdayevervan to make my wedding the #BestDayEver via @604fashionista – http://bit.ly/17vWWk8

*If the winner’s wedding date conflicts with an existing client’s wedding date, the Day-Of Coordination Package can instead be substituted  for a wedding related party day-of coordination (i.e. a bridal shower or engagement party).  Not redeemable for cash and prize must be redeemed by December 2015. 
**Contest open to weddings taking place in the Lower Mainland, BC (where Best Day Ever is located).  If the wedding is a destination outside of the Lower Mainland, then extra costs will have to be covered by the winner.  Best Day Ever contest closes Thursday, November 7th, 2013 at 9:00 pm PST.  Maximum of two entries per person.   Winner will be chosen at random and contacted shortly after. Good luck!

This magazine-worthy table decor is brought to you by the talented ladies of Best Day Ever.  Dene and Chelsey imagined fall decor on a whole new level.  I was absolutely floored to see traditional fall hues replaced with pretty pinks, hints of gold, and bright white accents.  They exceeded my expectations, I was so impressed with their attention to detail.
Can we also talk about Christie Graham’s killer photography?  I’ve been a huge fan of hers since she shot my friend’s wedding a few years ago and am so glad we got to work together on this.  Loved her direction and ease behind the camera, this certainly won’t be the last time we collaborate.
With an upcoming wedding of my own, I’m thinking this dream team might be the perfect day-of combination – wouldn’t you agree?  If you had the same thought, I have a particularly exciting giveaway coming up tomorrow featuring Best Day Ever.  If you’re a bride to be (or know one) then stay tuned!
Alicia’s Wearing: Blouse and Skirt, Joe Fresh // Shoes, GUESS // Necklace and Link Bracelet, J.Crew // Studded Wrap Bracelet, Jeweliette Jewellery

I’m finally emerging from this fog cloud.  On a personal note, caused by this really annoying headcold.  Also literally, as this city has been experiencing an unheard of amount of fog for the past week.  I love when the weather cooperates and perfectly mimics the mood I’m in.  Thanks, Vancouver!  So the agenda this weekend is to take it easy and get some stuff done around the house while Adam is out of town.  I even cleaned the apartment and baked muffins yesterday.  Don’t think I could be any more domestic if I tried (okay, no I really could lol).

A chunky knit cowl and a Starbucks coffee, is for sure the way to my heart!  I’m searching for the caffeine drip this morning, as the weekend seemed to fly by and somehow productivity levels were low.  Anyone else feeling like this time of year is insane and sure to only get crazier as the holidays approach?  I’m clutching onto any spare time to relax like the precious gift that it is.  In fact, I’ve been using any downtime to watch the original Beverly Hills 90210 on Netflix.  Observing Brandon and Brenda’s drama is the perfect way to zone out and feel nostalgic for the 90’s.  Which, are soooo in right now 😉  Happy Monday, you beautiful people!
