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?

Over-The-Knee

Some of my favorite OTK/Knee-high looks:

Stella McCartney Spring 2010

It looks like Stella still got her groove. The spring collection is beyond perfection! It has a little bit of something for everyone. The punches of cobalt blue, printed frocks, and her signature neutrals, lace, and tailored pieces come together in a collection that truly describes a multi-faceted woman - Strong, Feminine, Sexy and Fun. My eyes were immediately drawn to bright and playful printed ruffle frocks. Each color gets better than the next! Through Stella's collection, the upcoming spring looks youthful and optimistic. For a second, I forgot about the upcoming winter.

Color my world

H&M Sweater dress, Zara wooden wedges and belt, Nicole Miller Fleur de lis tights

The changing temperature has got me thinking about vacationing somewhere warm. J's mom came up with a great idea for Christmas. Instead of each of us spending $ on presents for one another, we all take a trip to Mexico together! I'm all for it... unless there's another outbreak of h1n1. I've already started daydreaming about it. Warm sand through my bare toes, tequila shots, margaritas, and endless guacamole.. yum! Alright, back to reality... this weekend I'm determined to finish packing away my summer clothes!
