Vancouver

I was out on the coast this weekend to have a look around and visit some clients (read, have many many drinks) and lucked out with a sunshiney weekend. When the Sun shines in Vancouver, no one remembers the rain.

The only good thing about taking
that wrong turn onto E. Hastings

The coffee I ordered at the Twisted Fork.
A BIT MUCH.

Gimlets at the Keefer before we finally got in at Bao Bei

The most delicious baked Alaska and incredible pitcher
of Market Punch (with bourbon, bien sur) at Market.

Mr. Pickles and Georgia at
Barking Babies in Yaletown

The Acne skirt I bought at Gravity Pope Tailored Goods on W. 4th

The gorgeous space and styling at The Room at the Bay. That neon Jason Wu dress? (!!!)

I have the same bike! This was like a promise of things to come.

English Bay from my favorite bench.

SPRING! Can you feel it?

Ania B for Avenue

Here are the shots from my shoot in the fall for Avenue Magazine with the beautiful Ania B.! This shoot was for the style Q&A and I got to use Ania's own clothes to come up with a fun fashion shoot in the newly renovated Memorial park.

My favourite, of course, is the red Lanvin for H&M dress in front of the fountain so here is a little shot of it from my iPhone with a dog that happened by and a behind the scenes shot. 

What the what?!

Ok So I am the worst blogger as I have not been doing ANY blogging for the longest time. SO, here I am, it's winter and after Christmas so things have S-L-O-W-E-D down. I am just randomly blogging, in no special order things I have been up to. 


First off Christmas! Look at this nice dinner we made! 

In the spirit of me learning to be a better cook I made 2 dishes, the ridiculous looking ham and the brussel sprouts with bacon AND a cheesecake for dessert! Our friends, Rob and Scott came over and brought us the sweet potato dish with the marshmallows on top. Very American and very delicious. Neil made the chicken which was succulent and covered in lemon rosemary butter. Mmmm. We also had some snacks. THE DIP that I make all the time and some baking and and and...

I got a fabulous ring from my BF from Hopea, which has some amazing jewellery for sale, all pretty much one of a kind.

All in all, a pretty great xmas! Hope yours was great!
