Plaid? Check. Leather mini skirt and jacket? Check. High waisted skirt and lace leggings? Check. Love the Nineties.
Agyness Deyn is by far my favourite model, last August I saw a picture of her and because of that picture, I cut my hair very short. Isn’t she just gorgeous??
Top: my desk at the moment. This is what I call a beautiful mess.
Boyfriend says magazines are a dying art, that it’ll all be digital soon. This horrifies me, one of my greatest pleasures is to sit down with a beautifully put together and well-written magazine. There is something about fantastic art direction that makes me want to read and re-read a magazine from cover to cover. My opinion is that the best magazines are British, with the exception of US Vogue. This UK Vogue (featured on top with Natalia Vodianova) is incredible, I got mine at Chapters on Robson/Howe. They have a little Starbucks attached where, if you sit outside, the best people/fashionista watching is.
Just got this amazing purse from my favourite store, you guessed it! Zara. When I saw it, it reminded me of Chanel’s Paris-Londres collection, (Lagerfeld’s 6th Metiers d’Art show), which was so amazing. All of the compliments I’ve received on it have been from men, they love the sparkle!
My first skate photography! I can’t skate to save my life, but I think it’s pretty great to watch, so I went with a couple girlfriends over to the RDS Block Party on Lonsdale Ave yesterday to catch some rays and check out the skills of the local skaters. Skaters have a pretty defined style, lots of bold colours and lots of matching, check out the pic of the girl with the neon green high tops.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I adore yellow snakeskin heels. This colour combo, (hot pink polish, white skinnies, yellow heels), was so brilliant I had to take a picture.
Ishara and Style Spy Media Inc. put on a Girls’ Night of exclusive shopping and great discounts, (and cupcakes!), Friday evening , to promote Ishara, a fabulous women’s store in Oakridge Centre. Ishara sells brands like ba&sh, Graham & Spencer, Modern Amusement, J.Brand, Smythe, CC Skye, Anlo, Rich & Skinny, Ella Moss, Rory Beca and more.
Here’s the site to check out the pics from the evening:

I found the most gorgeous black jumper with a low back and gold rope detail.
You can also find Ishara in the new Crave Vancouver book. (A book for Vancouver fashionistas looking to shop at locally owned boutiques)
Date night at Vancouver Club wearing Forever 21 chiffon blouse, Zara snakeskin printed skirt and Zara yellow snakeskin heels. Zara must be commended on their amazing ability to create the most spectacular shoes. Boyfriend loved the skirt, another thank you to Zara!
It has become apparent that my entire apartment (all 700sqft) has turned into a closet. It’s quite convenient really, I wasn’t sure what to wear, so I went to the kitchen for an apple and came out dressed, (fabulous blue suede heels sitting on kitchen floor and favourite vintage bag sitting on the stove-it wasn’t on, thank god). Next time I’ll venture into the living room and see what I come out with…
Fabulous fitted, white-trim blazer

Mens’ style watches are the perfect accessory for any outfit, from a pretty summer dress, to jeans and a blazer. Dress them up, or down, I say the bigger the better.
Loose white Ts are the thing
