There was no way yesterday’s rain was going to keep me indoors again.  I had one of those hermit weekends where I sat on the couch for most of it and ate more chocolate than I’d like to admit.  I think we all need those every once in a while.  Adam was away on a guy’s weekend at the cabin, so when he returned yesterday morning, I threw on my favourite P L E N + Y basics and we went for brunch.  There’s a vegetarian place just off South Granville called Heirloom.  We hadn’t been in a while and I forgot just how delicious their food is!  Highly recommend.

After brunching, I made a quick stop at West Elm to purchase this lamp for my new office because, it was a must!  Then, we picked up my brother and the three of us drove down to Bellingham to see Brian Regan’s live comedy show.  If you don’t know his stuff, you can see his Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee feature here, and one of my favourite bits about flying here.  Don’t want to hype him up too much, but he’s hilarious!!  Enjoy 🙂

I think we all just need a little more tulle in our lives!  And man oh man, does it ever make me want to twirl around the room.  I almost have to refrain from ballet dancing my way through life whilst wearing this darling skirt.  I thought I’d pair it with some pretty pastels this time around, as we all know that spring is merely days away!  Which also means that I could anchor the entire look with my burgundy  J.Crew suede heels.  Found those beauties majorly on sale – and nothing makes me happier than finding items I love at a reduced price.

For the very first time in maaaany moons, I was able to leave my winter coat at home.  Sure, once the sun finally went down I was a a little chilly, but let me tell you – it was totally worth it!  These longer days (thank you, daylight savings) have me so extra excited for spring, I can’t stop shopping!  

This particular jacket was from a recent shopping adventure and actually, my very FIRST time in Oakridge mall.  Which, I’m pretty sure for a “fashionista” in Vancouver is borderline criminal?  Anyway, I found the most adorable boutique called Judith & Charles and was instantly smitten.  I felt as though I’d been transported to Paris.  Surrounding me was beautiful tailoring with clean lines, feminine cuts, and just really stand out investment pieces.  And that’s what I’m all about lately.  I’d rather be spending my money on a well-made piece that’s going to last, than 5 pieces that I don’t care much about and usually ending up selling within a few years.  Right?!

And lucky for you, that investment might be even easier to make at Judith & Charles!  We’ll be announcing a sweet giveaway tomorrow – stay tuned!

OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PUBLISH THIS SINCE WEDNESDAY!  Sorry to Kanye, but what a week.  Who knew that all I needed to complete this was a glass of bubbly and some hermit time?!  Business is out of control awesome at the moment, which I love so much but man is it all consuming.  Nothing to worry your pretty little selves about, I’ve got tons of great content coming your way next week!  So go have yourselves a wonderful weekend, and we’ll meet back here on Monday morning 🙂

P.S. These photos are by Kaoverii Marapon for my interview on Wanderluxe.  Go check it out if you haven’t already!


P.P.S Gotta give a HAPPY BIRTHDAY shoutout to (in my completely biased opinion) the best mama in the whole world!

I’m all three shades of blue today, but only in outfit and not in life, I can assure you.  It’s one of my favourite simple winter looks, which is evident since I basically wore this exact ensemble here as well.  It was ideal for this past weekend, which was all about running errands and catching up on some good ol’ work.  Then of course last night, we had a fun little Oscar gathering at my mother-in-law’s where we snacked on appies and critiqued everyone’s outfits/speeches in our sweats.  Because really, what else is award season about?!  The biggest take away for me was realizing that I’ve basically not seen any of the good movies from last year and have a heck of a lot of catching up to do.  Any that you recommend I label as priority?  Thinking Dallas Buyers Club is topping the list at the moment, but I’m really open to suggestions.

Today is pink shirt day, but somehow in my overflowing closet, I don’t own a pink shirt?!  Which, is why I will do my part to take a stand against bullying by promoting love and ice cream.  Hopefully it still gets the right message across!

P.S. Gotta give a huge shoutout to TRiM Hair Salon (specifically Gen, THE colour specialist) for convincing me to go ombré and for doing such an amazing job!  You guys and gals are kind of the best.

Sometimes, it’s about reverting back to basic black and white.  Especially when that involves some printed trousers.  I’m keen on adding other pops like a great red lip colour and my favourite statement necklace!  You just can’t go wrong with the classics.
