Adam and I stayed out in the burbs this weekend to keep my brother company while my parents are away. I was looking through my old clothes there in search of something “new” (forgotten so more like new again) to wear. I stumbled upon a box of shoes and rediscovered my absolute FAVOURITE pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. This particular pair of shoes were found at a Yaletown boutique back in 2006 for $19 (on sale of course). They are the perfect height, just the right amount of vintage inspiration, and unbelievably comfortable. I had to retire them a few years ago because I wore them down so bad that the back of them are completely torn up. Unfortunately, I got wrapped up in happy shoe memories and decided to wear them out on Saturday night, despite their ragged appearance. And guess what? I actually got compliments on them!!! (but, keep in mind that I strategically placed myself against a wall all evening so no one would see the back of them :P) Seychelles are one of my favourite shoe brands, wearing them is like walking on a cloud and I’m so glad I was reminded of how great their footwear is. Note to self: go buy another pair of Seychelles!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. It looks like Fall has finally arrived in Vancouver…get out there and enjoy it!
I have those too, though shorter.
I call them anime ear bangs, because I rarely find a character in an anime that doesn't have crazy thick pieces of hair right in front of their ears.
You guys are so cute 🙂 I really like your cardigan, I need something mustard colour in my wardrobe!
You look especially pretty in these pictures 🙂 I may have to take your advice and go buy myself some Seychelles..I'm always on the lookout for shoes that are both stylish and comfortable!
alicia, you are beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! i'm green with envy. & together, you and adam are the epitome of a cute couple. GAH! hahaha love it, just had to comment.
You two are so adorable! And that color looks superb on you 🙂
guess what? It's fall in my Vancouver too, time to bring out the layers!
@Shaz ANIME EAR BANGS! I love it…I will just have to use that name too!
@curls-and-pearls thanks! Yeah I JUST got the cardi at Winners so it is probably still there…mustard is definitely essential!
@Best Foot Forward thank you, I think it's the eyelashes and my new tinted moisturizer haha Yeah Seychelles rock!
@Anyonymous thank you sooo much, but I don't know who you are LOL I assume a friend of mine…
@Liz thanks and YAY for Fall in our Vancouvers 🙂
I have to say I am certainly jealous of you. Why?
Because in ALL your photos you seem to have perfect hair…
*shakes fist* 😛
Your pictures are fantastic. I love your casual, relaxed look. You still look put together.

You and Adam look so cute together. 🙂 Love the mustard cardigan (perfect jolt of colour) and the Seychelles shoes. I try not to let favourite shoes get worn down too badly because it does break my heart. My cobbler does wonders with soles and heels when my shoes need CPR lol.
Oh my goodness, you look adorable! Mustard is such a good color on you! I love the color, but my skin tone generally does not! & Seychelles are great… I have my eye on their "Hawk"…or on Steve Madden's Annton… very similar, and I can't decide which I like better, or if it's just a bad life choice all together! Anyway! Sidetracked! My point was how cute you look! I really love your bag, too!
The mustard colour looks great on you! I think I'll need to shop for something of that colour since I have too much grey and black. It's great that u found a great pair of old shoes. I love rumaging through old clothes.
I wish I could pull off the colours that you wear! You look amazing as per usual! <3
ok, i had a discussion with kate today about you. she loves you just as much as i do. we love your style and how you just make clothes look so good.
