A Little Fur Goes a Long Way

H&M silk Blazer, skirt, and faux-fur, Ribbon black tee, ASOS hearts tights, Zara heels, YSL muse, House of Harlow accessories

Can't believe Christmas is less than a month away! J and I haven't been taking any outdoor photos lately.. the Vancouver rain is partly to blame and also that it gets dark too damn early! Finally we had a sunny break today, so we left for work 10 min early to get a few shots in at sunrise. It was a great start to the morning, especially when we discovered bunnies at this park nearby! There was a lady feeding them carrots when we got there... they're very well-fed and it shows!

This silk blazer screamed Spring to me when I bought it. By adding a touch of (faux) fur, it's an easy transition into a fall/winter look. I'm really impressed with Zara shoes these days.  They're always on trend and I find most of them really comforable! These multi-strap ones are my new go-to shoes.  Thick heels + multiple strap support = I can walk for miles in them!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009

The 2009 VS Fashion Show officially airs on December 2nd, but who can wait? This annual show with the exagerated costumes, smokin' bodies, and angelic faces never ceases to amaze me. From pictures alone, it looks like this year will be especially playful.  Aside from the signature Angel wings, there's a new avant-garde approach to the show which includes futuristic space helmets! Can this show be any hotter? We'll find out next week!

Check out my "Girl of the Week" interview on the fabulous Vancouver fashion blog TheStyleSpy. Thanks Erica and thanks Kelsi!!

Just got back from Day 1 of the Beyond Pink conference. It's a two-day event for young women to network, connect, and get inspired by established professionals and entrepreneurs from a range of industries. Today's schedule was jam packed with one great workshop after another. And to top it all off, the night event included a lovely fashion show. How appropriate, mixing business with fashion! So far, everything has been absolutely amazing. I will definitely do a big update once it's over :)

Have a fabulous weekend!

Vancouver Fashion Week 2009

A friend and I thought it would be fun to check out Vancouver Fashion Week this year. We stayed for a few shows on Saturday and overall, I was impressed. There were definitely a handful of memorable pieces and many garments I would wear. I apologize for the picture quality as I only had a point and shoot, but here are some of my favorites:

All of the designs from Anelore Popa's evening dress collection were beautiful. From sheer and flowy resort maxi's and satin gowns to embellished mini dresses, everything that graced the runway were meant to make women feel sexy. The top right blue sheer embellished mini really stole my heart :)

PORSCIA's collection had some very elegant and ladylike dresses and separates. I was amazed at the tailoring and loved the structure of each piece. Perfect for Day and Night - They're appropriate for work, yet are transitional for cocktail hour.

Something Blue

Club Monaco polka dot blouse and headband (worn as necklace), Talula Tank, Mexx skirt, Manolo Blahnik "Something Blue" pumps

Hello lover!

Channeling Carrie Bradshaw is always fun. When I saw this white blouse with blue polka dots on sale at Club Monaco, I immediately thought of my Manolo's. I was head over heels in love with these pumps when the Sex and the City movie came out. That last scene where Carrie finds Big in the Closet full of nothing BUT the blue satin Manolos... as Rachel Zoe would say...I DIE! I took advantage of a sale and got these beauties this past May and I'm still looking for a protective spray that wouldn’t ruin them. Anyone have any recommendations?

Lady Gaga - Halloween 09

Wearing:
BCBG Fall 08 runway dress
Roberto Vianni peeptoe booties
Aldo & BCBG accessories
Wig & hair bow from Ebay
DIY Scarf, Sunglasses & Disco Stick --->See DIY How-to post

Hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween!! I'm so sad it’s over :( It seems like every year, the build-up in anticipation for Halloween... making a costume etc is so long. Then, it's over before you know it! It's only one day after all.

Dressing up as Lady Gaga was So much fun. It's definitely my favorite costume yet. From making the the sunglasses and disco stick a month ago to last minute sewing up a scarf from random Christmas fabric, I'm glad it turned out alright! You can't be Lady G without the camera flashing constantly in your face... so J went as a TMZ paparazzo! I realized I've never posted a pic of the man behind the camera. Here's J in his paparazzo get-up with his assistant aka spidey-dog:



J and I went to a house party with a few friends. It was a friend's brother's friend's place so we didn't know anyone at all. The house had amazing decorations, I was impressed! The creepiest was the ghost in the fireplace (they set a tv behind the couch running a video of a ghost and the reflection appears in the fireplace). Good times :)

What did everyone do for Halloween this year?
