The Soft Edge

Eryn Brinie draped vest, Talula long-sleeve tee, Current Elliott jeans, Asos/Club Monaco/Tiffany & Co rings, Aldo Necklace, Bakers boots

Finally, a real outfit post!  My style has never been particularly "edgy" as I tend to stick with classic shapes and feminine silhouette. But I loved this vest so much that I had it make it my own. It's highly versatile and has a Rick Owens vibe to it.  Although I wore it semi-zipped, it can also be worn buttoned-up for a sophisticated cowl neck or wide-open for a relaxed casual look. All 3 are perfect for a day in the city :)

P.S. How fantastic is this mural showing the historical charm of Vancouver's Granville Street!






This past weekend, I went to the Smooth Co. label launch at Holt Renfrew and met Justin Bobby. Here's one for all you Hills fans!

Olympic Blues

Club Monaco top and gloves, Elie Tahari leather jacket, Aldo necklace, Zara booties, Balenciaga city

17 days, 14 golds, 1 truly amazing experience for Vancouverites and the world alike. I'll wrap it up by leaving you with a pic of the Olympic cauldron. I'm slowing recovering from the after-Olympic blues and yes, this will be my last Olympics related post... I promise. Back to regular programing this week!

During the games, I met up with the lovely Annette from The VersaStyle. Connecting with amazing people like Annette is truly the greatest thing about blogging. I love how the only picture we got together has a line of umbrellas as a backdrop, classic Vancouver! Hopefully when I visit her in LA, we'll get to hang for more than a 30 min coffee chat!

RIP Alexander McQueen...

Reading about his death this morning sent chills up my spine. Just last night I was admiring his work online... who knew such tragic news would surface hours later.

Hopscotching my way over this long work week, I can't wait for the weekend ahead. It's Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, and of course, the Olympics!  This skirt has been neglected for quite a few months. I've given it life again by wearing it with my favorite lace top. I wanted to pair this milk-green drape skirt with something equally muted. And since I don't have $3000 laying around for a Burberry trench, this old Zara trench will do.
