Third times a charm

I saw a girl wearing a skirt similar to this on the bus the other day. It was leather and looked almost exactly like the one in the picture about, but it was a forest green! I loved it. Then as I was walking to work a few minute later, I saw a version of the same skirt in the display window at H&M on Granville. I suppose third times a charm, as I came across the skirt again on all the pretty birds! The length, style and the fact that it is leather is a trifecta of cool.

Sunday Favourite Things

Spring is just around the proverbial corner, and how better to celebrate one of my favourite seasons than to purchase some beautiful new outerwear.

This week's "Sunday Favourite Things" are my new coats. The first one is AMAZING. I got it at a vintage shop in Victoria. It's a navy blue military coat, with red piping and gold buttons! It has a slight tuxedo tail, and flairs perfectly at my bottom. It fits like a glove, and I love it.

My second new coat is halarious. It's an acid wash jean jacket I found at Value Village today. Let me preface by saying I have never owned a jean jacket. Before today I had yet to find one that fits me. This one does. It has these amazingly 80's puffy sleeves, and as you can see, it has the most wonderful acid wash. I wore it today and quite enjoyed it. I cant wait to rep it all spring and summer.

Soon enough I will post pics of me wearing my new coats. But for now you will have to make due with these pics. Hope you guys had a good weekend. It was wonderfully sunny here today and I walked up and down commercial drive, people watching. Everyone was out and about enjoying the brief moments of sunshine. It was a lovely day.

WWAAD?

Ever since Asia my thoughts on style have changed. I spent 8 hours in the Hong Kong airport on my way back home, and when girls from Hong Kong go travelling they put on the ritz! The only question I ask myself when leaving the house now is, "what would an Asia do"? Because seriously, there is never a question of too much. Too much jewelry, patterns, textures, color, shapes? Never.

California Dreaming

Like most everyone else I know, I have summer fever. I can't wait for it to get here. This summer is going to be awesome. My hair is so long now, and its perfect. Vancouver has done wonders to my natural curl. The addition of ocean water to my hair is going to be epic. I can't stop dreaming about summer outfits. Im so sick of jeans and leggings. I want to wear shorts and dresses, tank tops and bathing suits. I want to sit by the beach, tan my white legs, bike home and drink a beer. I want to stay out late, laugh, make new friends, and get to know acquaintances better. I want to go camping, and go on road trips, I want to dance, flirt, have fun.

Here are some pics to inspire your summer wardrobe, summer adventures, and summer spirit.
