a modern twist on retro styles, limited edition madmen collection at banana republic is very beautiful. i had my eye on the lace dress pictured below, but ended up leaving with a lovely cropped lace shell in the same fabric. it always feels special purchasing a piece that is one of a kind or limited edition, i can’t wait to style it with a great pair of skinny trousers (note to self, must purchase a pair of skinny trousers).
the banana republic on robson street in vancouver has the women’s madmen collection, so you can go there right now to take a look in person. a big thanks to lisa kwong and banana republic for a wonderful afternoon and a much needed madmen fix. totally going to go back and watch season four again while the show is on a hiatus!
a haute mess is back in town!

something about a new haircut is so refreshing. marlee at axis on w.pender is the best hair stylist for thick hair! not only does she always know how to cut my thick half asian hair, she treats me to a relaxing head massage and a professional blowout.
madmen, blogger friends + the salon…a perfect way to spend a thursday off work, wouldn’t you say?
I bet they have great pieces! I wish I had Banana Republic around the corner..

You ladies all look beautiful, I was so sad to miss this while I was away in the Okanagan, but it is nice to see the highlights! Love your purse and those Seychelles pumps!

NEW POST: Beautiful Industrial
Loving your outfit; that skirt is too cute! I keep seeing advertisements for the Mad Men collection; it looks stunning, and your pictures totally live up to my expectations! That cream lace dress is stunning.
I love what you all are wearing! The collection looks amazing. I can't wait to see it in person 🙂

Everyone looks gorgeous! 🙂
You look STUNNING Alicia! Seriously stunning. I love your outfit from head to toe! I'm going to check out this collection this week.
Your hair!! Where do I even begin? Did you do it yourself? If so, I need step by step instructions. If not, I'll need the name of your hairdresser 🙂 Seriously, though, I loved all of the looks you ladies wore for the Mad Men event, but your accessories really take the cake. That clutch is to die for.
xox,
Cee
AAHH your hair looks AMAZING! Actually, it always does. I'm so jealous of the volume and how you rock the middle part (which looks totally awful on me). That ruffle clutch is super cute too, love what you wore to the Madmen launch!

I REALLY love the lace top and dress. Will definitely have to stop by in person to scope it out. And I also LOVE your hair! I have thick Asian hair that's also super difficult to deal with, perhaps I'll give your stylist a try!
