Today marks the launch of the FEED x Tory Burch bags at Holt Renfrew! See Lauren Bush Lauren, CEO and founder of FEED, chatting about the bags on Canada AM this morning below.
You may have seen me post a pic or two (or three, or four) of my pink FEED bag (c/o of Holt Renfrew). I just love it. Last week I used it as a chic mail bag en route to the Post Office with an abundance of LOVE + MARK’D treats:
Me and my bag also seen here on Robson St! Which colour are you going to choose??
TRUTH(S): So a couple months ago I started a new business venture (as you know), and thus, gave myself a pay cut. It seems brand new businesses don’t provide a consistent and dependable cash flow as corporations do. You gotta hustle for the money. Of course life has been different since having left my structured 9 – 5 office job, and while I am in no position to be buying Fendis or Pradas right now, I must say I am thoroughly enjoying the entrepreneurial ride. It is much easier to swallow the “I’m not allowed to go shopping” pill when you know you are building a business that will likely one day allow for a lot of shopping. (It better.) However, just because I am not currently shopping for myself (okay, so I might be picking up the odd thing here and there… like a pine scented Voluspa candle that was an absolute necessary purchase for the festive season! If I can’t have a Christmas tree in my apartment, I at least deserve the smell, right??), doesn’t mean that my family should suffer too. Holt Renfrew is currently having a designer sale (and a miserable one at that – slim pickings this year Holts) and I thought perhaps I’d be able to find a treat there for someone on my list. Even though I have been an avid Holt Renfrew shopper, and was indeed carrying a Cole Haan bag that I purchased there, I swear the sales people were looking at me like I was a bag lady looking to pop a bauble into my black puffer winter coat. One little sales associate followed me around. She sure killed my Christmas optimism. I wanted to punch her. I wanted to get in her face and say: “DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I’VE SPENT HERE OVER THE YEARS?! THE ONLY BAG LADY I AM IS A KATE SPADE, COLE HAAN, MARC JACOBS CARRYING KIND OF BAG LADY!” But I didn’t. I kept it to myself. I found myself feeling rather blue because of the experience on my way home, thinking of the negatives rather than the positives (of which there are plenty and I must remember that) and so decided to find solace in the fact that Ms. Carrie Bradshaw at one point had some serious financial woes that would surely trump mine:
Or find the episode here. Relating to Carrie sure helped.
TIP: On the money-saving side of things, my Mum taught me a good tip years ago that I swear by today: when you notice that you’re hair is in desperate need of a deep conditioning treatment or one of those fancy hair oils to help tame the wild ends, go into your kitchen, get the olive/sunflower seed/whatever kind of oil and put a little drop in your hands. Rub the oil around the palm of your hands so that it is evenly distributed and then slightly rub the bottom half of your hair. You’ll see smooth, shiny looking hair instantly, and the oil is good for your hair! Just be light on the application and don’t go anywhere near your roots, we all know roots need all the help they can get for volume, and most products weigh them down.

TIP: Score yourself a pretty-something-new with my angora beret giveaway thanks to Barefoot Contessa!
TIP: One more tip, it’s about skin. For the past 8 years I have suffered through hit-and-miss boughs of acne. While it was never severe, those pesky spots always came at the wrong time, like popping up on a shoulder when I was meant to be having a beach day, or appearing over night on my chin when there was an event that evening. Even the memories make me shudder. What changed? A few months ago I was having dinner with a good girl friend who stays in fantastic shape seemingly effortlessly. I asked her what her diet was like, she said she had cut out pasta, most dairy and red meat. (Talk about will power.) I thought I’d give it a try. Cutting down on the red meat was surprisingly easy, and cutting out milk was no effort at all as I replaced it with almond milk. Pasta was another story. It was through this experimental diet that I found out I am allergic to something in milk. It seems milk creates spots on my skin. Since replacing cows with almonds my skin has dramatically changed, it is less oily, way smoother and noticeably spot-free! (98% of the time – stubborn little beasts.) If you are a regular milk drinker and have had skin issues by the likes that I did, I recommend trying cutting it out – there’s nothing to lose, other than regular concealer touch-ups. :) (Give it about three weeks, that’s when I saw changes.)
Now back to glittering up paper – the positives are back in sight! Yahoo! – Since we’re sharing, I’d love to hear your similar stories and comments! (Comment above.)

The ladies over at The Coveteur have partnered with Holt Renfrew this season for a visual stunner: 12 of their most “drool”-worthy shoes featured in that signature Coveteur style.
An excerpt from the ladies: “Resulting in a photo exhibit, as well as a window installation at Holts, the photography and styling of The Coveteur has culminated in a two week exhibit of our brand, showing off the closets and goodies of both local and international talent. Our official unveiling last night was an ode to twelve shoe vendors whose products have made us drool with lust, but more importantly, have created a photo gallery for your viewing pleasure. Here’s our union, in visual form. Ladies and gents, may we present you with The Coveteur x Holt Renfrew.”
Oh, how the Fall does cometh with brilliant things and make thee swoooon.

Wouldn’t you just love to tuck these pieces into your suitcase, or rather, carefully hang them and tuck them into a garment bag, which you would then pass on to your personal butler Ronaldo? Why yes, yes I would. I want.
The latest item to the make the cut for my upcoming European vacation is a pair of sky-high Miu Miu platforms from dear old Holts.
*Note: Mine are a mocha, neutral color, and were purchased off of one of those fabulous things we call a SALE rack! Happy feet, happy wallet.

For me the waiting period is that time between when I submit my answers and photos to a publication and when they publish their article. I never know exactly what will make it into the article or interview, or which images they’ll choose and I find myself getting a little antsy. The picture above is one of a few I recently submitted to a Canadian online magazine for an interview piece. Looking forward to seeing it! : ) In the meantime, I couldn’t wait to share with you a couple of new purchases… (I just can’t seem to stop). These sequined shorts are from, would you believe it, Joe Fresh! They’re part of their Fresh off the Runway collection. I look forward to pairing them with my new white linen blouse from Brooks Brothers this August when my girlfriend and I visit Monaco. The heels are a new as well, I found them lonely, sitting on a shelf as part of the Holt Renfrew summer sale. (GO see it. AMAZING.) I was thrilled to find these neutral Miu Mius as my nude patent leather Stuart Weitzmans have just seen one too many dance floors and cobble stone streets. The top is a vintage find from a shop on Main St. in about 2006. I rarely wear leopard print anymore, but every now and then one must. Today was that day for me.
That’s it for now!

Man Love: A fashion event for the boys! As you’ve just read above, Holts is holding a trunk show for Mens’ denim expert Naked & Famous Denim and its creator, Brandon Svarc. Says Holts: “During the trunk show, Brandon Svarc will be present to help clients create their own unique pair of jeans. Clients can choose from a selection of fabrics, threads, fits and leather detailing.” It’s like made-to-measure suiting! But for denim! So boss. (That’s what the man in my life says. I’ve stolen his line.) One of my favourite things about Naked & Famous is that it is based in Canada, and all merchandise is ethically made here in Canada as well. Yep, boss.
Be there and be fabulous, you’ll be your man’s best accessory. (Now that is a line I stole from Alexis on The Real Housewives of Orange County. I simply can’t take credit for such genius.)
- SS
P.S. SEE Y’ALL TONIGHT AT THE GUESS PARTY! Am I excited?? Just a bit. A LOT! See you there!
SEND YOUR MAN RUNNING TO HOLTS. Does your guy ever wear custom shirts? Has he ever given you the luxury of seeing him in one? Well, they are good. And then you can finish them off with man-accessories like polished silver cufflinks, or a silk striped tie, and BAM he looks hot hawt. And Holts wants to make your man look good for $100 – that’s like couture for the man who usually pulls on a shirt-off-the-shelf for only $100. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that either.)
Just a thought. The Holts Made-to-Measure custom shirt event goes on until March 21st.
That’s all.

Courtesy of my twin sister, Monika. As seen below, we’ve always been very stylish people…
Monika is on the left. We’re wearing my Dad’s clothes on his boat, Monika the sailor, me the painter. Way back when we even lived on this boat – sometimes very fun, sometimes not so much, especially when you’ve been bad and your favorite tea set goes over board… I can’t remember why we dressed up in his clothes, but it was sure funny at the time. I think we were about eight here.
We’ve since moved on to younger, more trendy look…
Monika had a friend of hers snap a roll of film of us playing back in 2008 for an art project for school. Here I’m wearing my beloved Betsey Johnson heels, Monika had Coach wedges on. (Monika is piggy-backing me.)
And now into 2011, Monika is looking to get rid of a few of the fabulous things she has picked up along the way. Monika used to work at Holts and she brought home some amazing things – check them out here and see if there’s something you might need! (Unless I beat you to it.)

This amazing embellished 3.1 Phillip Lim dress has been sitting in my closet for quite some time now, a cast off from my sister from her Holt Renfrew days. I love it with these forest green flats (Zara), and my favourite Dior lipstick, #361. In all honesty, tonight is a night at home, but after devouring Vogue’s February issue – it really was to die for – I couldn’t help but want to put on pretty clothes in favor of the terry robe I had on. (When I get home from work, all I want to do is put my robe on, no one can stop me. Though, I think it’s probably a bad habit, I get too comfortable with work still yet to be done.) This dress definitely fit the bill.
Time: 7:00pm. It’s practically my bed time. (By 9:30 tonight I’ll be in dreamland, where I live with a Holts card of infinite value and plenty of time to sip skim lattes and teeter between Holts’ Chanel boutique and shoe salon.)
Until tomorrow,

Christmas was only yesterday, but I’ve brought home two delightful little packages today. I’ve had my eye on a Dior lipstick for quite some time now, and just so happened to pass by Holts on my walk home from work today. Okay, that’s a total lie. I live ten minutes walk south from work, but walked twenty minutes east out of my way over to Holts, call it the scenic route. Then I found myself in the cosmetics department, and before you know it there was a small white bag imprinted with a name synonymous with luxury and fabulousness hanging from my arm. Satisfied with my gorgeous new lip colour, I turned to leave, but soon found myself lusting after the most lovely iridescent, pinky shade of taupe, which soon found its way into a lovely small HR bag and onto my arm. Sometimes I just can’t say no. But this is why I work, right?
Dior Haute Couleur 361 & Chantecaille Lip Sheer Super Nova
There’s something wonderfully empowering about a strong lip colour, this Dior lipstick is that colour for me. Hmmm, now for a pair of shoes to match…
Just dreaming!

Sometimes the best little things don’t come in packages at all!
Today I awoke and as usual, shuffled out to the living room to see what kind of footwear I’d be able to wear today, as in checked the weather. To my surprise and delight, outside my 5th floor window was a world covered in a thick white blanket of snow! SNOW!!! I quickly turned on 103.5 QMFM – “Vancouver’s Christmas station, all Christmas music, all the time,” and got to work on my list of to-dos – the faster I accomplished my tasks the faster I could get outside! Around noon I started hunting for winter shoes, surprisingly I don’t have a very big selection, so that I could get on my way to meet a girlfriend for lunch on Robson St. I settled on a pair of faux leather knee high boots with a 3″ heel – perfect for keeping my feet out of the slush. (Turns out a heel is not ideal for the slippery slush at all, I was slipping and sliding all over the place.)
The Details:
Wearing: Zara cape, Aritzia Cowichan wool sweater, pink silk Party Skirt, tights from who-knows-where (probably London Drugs or Safeway), boots from Sirens (I know riiight?! Who knew Sirens made such solid footwear??), Gianni Chiarini leather carry-all, Holt Renfrew fur earmuffs, cream pashmina scarf and leather bracelet from a random shop in SoHo, NYC. (Yes, I know I have short, tiny thumbs for those of you who were going to comment on it.)
Though I spent much of my time slipping around, I had a great time running errands about town! Who doesn’t love snow? Then again, I don’t drive much these days… drivers hate snow. I have a handy, though not-so-stylish transit pass.
I hope you’re enjoying the weather! I hear the rain is going to wash it all away tonight and tomorrow… Make snow angels while you can!

P.S. All of these photos were taken using the same settings, but the brightness of the snow, and the lame-ness of my little point-and-shoot camera made each photo different.
Santa sits atop the table, he'll even play a Christmas song for you, you just have to wind him up.
Just missing the candles. A festive mix of crystal and red for the holiday season.
An old fashioned Christmas includes crystal glitter.
Pine cones and berries adorn the front door.
A traditional winter season doll from Sweden. She gives love.
Lamps make for the perfect place to display Christmas ornaments, like this glittery snowflake.
A feather wreath hangs above my bed all year-round. The bow is added for the holidays.
Scarves and furry earmuffs wait by the door.
I adore nutcrackers. This one sparkles and dances when you pull the hanging string!
Will you be decorating your home for the festive season? I found all of Christmas decorations at Take Me Home Decor (North Vancouver), HomeSense (the wreath, nutcracker and candle holders), H&M (the scarves), and Holt Renfrew (the earmuffs).

Tonight was the CRAVE Vancouver book launch at Canvas Lounge in Gastown, and the party impressed. CRAVE Vancouver event coordinator Arpen Thandi outdid herself, the turnout was incredible. I loved the pink carpet outside and treats laid out across the party (yayy for mini cinnamon buns and pink polka dot sugar cookies!), not to mention all the services you could try out! From eyelashes, to nails to eyebrows and styling help, it was all there tonight.
Wearing: Zara leather bomber jacket, Alternative Apparel hoodie, Zara pleated leather skirt, Talula spandex tank, Safeway brand tights, Brown’s boots (I know, I’m wearing them all the time, they’re just soo comfortable and warm!), Yany pink sequin purse, Holt Renfrew brand pink fur earmuffs.
Below, Jillian Crago and Kristy Rogerson of Operation Style at their corner booth at the event:

Night, night, Marie and I are tired, time for bed.

Sunday morning was one of those morning when you know that something good must come to an end, like leaving Manhattan for home, and leaving the glamorous and exciting Ace Hotel for Vancouver’s quieter West End. I should have gotten up early that morning to pack, but those giant beds with enormous white down duvets and endless pillows trapped me, so I simply couldn’t get up. I paid for it half an hour later though when I was rushing around like a mad woman trying to stuff all of my new purchases into my already stuffed suitcase, (as usual, I brought double what I needed, but how is one supposed to know what she will feel like wearing?!). Luckily, I was traveling with a man whose suitcase was barely half full! In went my new 6″ heels, hair dryer, straightening iron, magazines and accessories. What someone might of thought had he had his suitcase searched at the air port haha… but Tommy is a sport! (Thanks Tommy!)
After barely getting my suitcase to zip up, we ditched our extremely heavy bags at the front desk and hopped in a cab to the West Village for brunch! We spotted a cute restaurant, Phillip Marie, that had the feel of a southern home and served “new American” cuisine. I chose the chicken, brie and pesto sandwich and a cup of hot coffee, perfect for a cloudy New York City day.
After brunch we wandered through the Village till we found the Rag & Bone shop, (above), where Tommy got a beautiful pair of leather sneakers and went halfers with me on a gorgeous navy Fall 2010 cashmere sweater which I will post about soon! (I’m in no shape for a photo shoot at the moment). You can find Rag & Bone in Vancouver at Holt Renfrew, Misch, (womens) and at Gravity Pope, (mens and womens). Click here for an Elle.com mini-feature on David Neville, and here for Marcus Wainwright!) As if on cue, the rain started to come down and it was time to go back to the Ace to collect our bags and make our way to the dreaded airport, (I hate flying).
The travel experience was less than desirable. Because of the torrential rain, our flight was delayed 3 hours, meaning we would miss our connecting flight in Seattle that evening. Which did indeed happen, and thank you American Airlines for treating us like lowly customers-I will not be flying American Airlines any time soon. We found ourselves stranded in Seattle for the night with no option other than to pay for a night at one of the airport hotels, synthetic sheets anyone? Finally, on Monday morning we made it home, still wearing Sunday’s clothes. Luckily, I wore a cute outfit, though Tommy did point out that perhaps all white wasn’t the best for traveling. However, I made it home without a spec on those white clothes, and somehow still smiling. All in all, it was a wonderful trip that I won’t soon forget!
Wearing: Cecico blouse, Sirens white jeans, Poetic License platform sandals (5″ for travelling), Gianni Chiarini leather carry-all, Marc by Marc Jacobs necklace, Michael Kors watch, bracelet bought from a street vendor in SoHo and aviators from a mid-town street vendor, ($3!!).
My apartment building doesn’t provide us with mail boxes, so the mail people push it right through the slots in our front doors. Marie always freaks out when the mail slides through and hides under the couch, so cute. Today, this arrived:
It’s a notification of the new Chanel space being designed at Holts. I know what you’re thinking, there already was a fancy party for a new Chanel boutique at Holts, but according to this there will be further changes made to the upstairs Chanel boutique in order to accommodate the merchandise currently held at the W. Hastings location, which is in the process of being closed. (I doubt very much though that this means a sale will be held).
Nothing like french mail.

Listening to Fashion Magazine Editor-In-Chief, Bernadette Mora speak about the history of Dior watches at Holt Renfrew.
Thursday afternoon I headed down to Holt Renfrew to meet Fashion Mag’s Editor-In-Chief and see Dior’s beautiful watches, which did not disappoint! One of the most delightful parts of the afternoon was meeting and chatting with Holts’ West Coast PR woman, Lenirose Espiritu! Lenirose has been with Holt Renfrew for about eight years now, and started on the sales floor working for Gucci. We quickly got to talking fashion, specifically bags. Her favourite purchase is her brown leather Balenciaga tote, one of the “it bags” of 2006, (I have always coveted the pink version of this bag, even to this day).
(And that fab Dior gift bag Lenirose is holding? Filled with the summer edition of Fashion Magazine, a Dior eyeshadow compact and a sweetly wrapped box holding four delicious macaroons! Thank you Dior and Holts for the lovely gifts!)
With Bernadette Mora. I loove her look, so Audrey Hepburn, and it’s so working for her.
With fashion journalist, and writer for String Magazine, Nadia Chu. Check out her gorgeous vintage Manolos!! A rare limited edition shoe done for a Neiman Marcus anniversary!

Anyone remember that SATC episode? The one where Carrie loses her silver Manolos at a baby shower? Well I didn’t lose any shoes, (the horror!), but I sure did add a pair to my collection! As I’m sure all the Vancouver fashionistas are aware of, Holts is having a MASSIVE shoe sale right now, (and it’s quickly being picked over, so run, don’t walk, to Holts to get in on the good deals!). MASSIVE because for the first time that I’ve shopped their sale, Chanel was 50% off. I know right?! What the heck?? That never happens! (In Canada anyways). Wellll, I fully took advantage of that 50% off. The funny thing is before I reached the Chanel boutique in Holts, I was going through the shoe sale racks and wouldn’t even look at anything over $250, and in the end convinced myself I was better without and should keep my money in my savings account. But then there was the land of Chanel, where 50% off of $825 seems reasonable, and my card practically came out of my purse on its own. Practically an out of body experience.
Now I just have to create some outfits for these (now favourite) fabulous platform sandals! What would you wear with shoes like these??

Saturday, February 13th the boys of DSQUARED² did a meet and greet at Holt Renfrew to launch the release of their new men’s fleece hoody sold exclusively at Holts. Jeanne Beker hosted the event, and looked très chic in a fabulous bomber jacket, jodpur style leggings and knee high black Louboutin boots avec 5″ heels! (I’m having a bit of a french moment).
Running home from work I was panicking because I knew I was going to be late for the 5 pm start time and that the line would be murder, but luckily the boys didn’t show until 5:30 as they were busy with media interviews until then. The line to meet the famous twins was as crazy as expected; it wove around the racks of the men’s department and went on for ages. So rather than wait, I snapped a few pics of Dean, Dan and Jeanne, and then when Jeanne left them to the signing, I wandered off to see what else was going on and met some wonderful women!
With Erin Ireland, host of TV show FMA. One of Erin’s signatures is her hot pink YSL lipstick, très joli! (Want to talk fabulosity? This woman’s lipstick sponsor is YSL!!). Want to see more of Erin, click here!
Jeanne and I go way back, at least 8 years! Which was when I started watching her on television. Fashion Television quickly became my favourite show and everything in my world stopped when it came on. It was just me, Jeanne and a whole lotta fashion. Saturday I met her for the first time, and this was a true celebrity sighting for me. (Where I work celebs seem to come in all the time, but have no effect whatsoever on me. Jeanne however, made me shake and fumble my words; “Jeanne, oh, Jeanne I uh I just admire you so much, oh my god you’re sooo nice! Eeeeee!” Something like that). I shall frame this picture and put it along side my Anna Wintour Post-It note.
Upon meeting one of my idols, I became useless. I could hardly walk I was so excited, so I fumbled around trying to regain my composure, when I spotted a very well-dressed DJ… All DJs should really consider dressing like this.
DJ R I C C O spinning at the event.
Making the champagne proud was Dax G, model and friend from our bartending days!
After Dean and Dan finished signing pictures, they left the table to meet the fans and came upon a star-struck blogger…
Another star(s)-struck moment! How perfectly festive and patriotic we are! These boys have got to be some of the sweetest and most down-to-earth designers I’ve come across. And those jackets!! I am now wishing for a cherry red blazer.
The photo of Dean, Dan and I was kindly taken by Chris Naidu, pictured above. Chris and I also met on Saturday after numerous tweets sent back and forth, see his post about the event here! As if the day couldn’t get much better at that point, I met Jose Luis Reyes, Editor-in-Chief of The Fashion Guard! Click here for his twitter photo, because sadly the picture of Jose and I features me with my eyes closed. Not a good look.
After all of this excitement, I ran home to get ready for a birthday shin-dig at Venue Night Club. Here comes an impromptu photo shoot by blogger and stylist turned photographer Danielle Barnes!
Posing alongside the very colourful Kate Moss, (a painting my sister did when we were in 12th grade. Impressive right?!!). Wearing: H&M denim vest, B.B. Dakota white tiered skirt, LaSenza tights, Michael Kors leather boots, H&M gold bracelets and Zara sequin purse.
My complete look for Saturday night. Vintage reversible cape from Woo Vintage in Gastown. (One of my all-time FAVOURITE vintage shops!)
The always fun and fabulous Danielle Barnes!
And there you have it! One of the most crazy and wonderful days in my life! Hope you enjoyed the read!
