My Inspiration

Lately I've been feeling like I'm in a bit of rut... schools back in full swing therefore my social life drops of the face of the planet, the weather is back to its classic Vancouver ways (rain, rain and more rain oh and some wind), so I've been looking for a little inspiration to lift my spirits here's what is brighten my day..... 

  a little green wall art at Semiahmoo Library in Surrey...

"Just Touched Down in London Town" (not actually)

Lately I've been watching a lot of fashion videos (instead of studying oops). Most of which have been interviews with designers, or fashion shows from this fashion week, and years past. I stumbled on this video, not only are the clothes fantastic but the dancing is fun!.... absolutely love it!!!

Enjoy!

Come On Leaves Start Falling!

Ok... So I know everyone is loving this sunshine... but I'm sorry... SUMMER IS OVER! It's time to move on to fall!!! The reason for my snappiness is because of this....

Yes, the fall vignette from Holt Renfrew is a few years old now (2 or 3), but every fall I watch it over and over, and the combination of Passion Pit, lots of beautiful fall clothes, and Coco and Behati running around playing dress up, get me jealous and wishing I could live their hotel clothing party too. I want cooler weather so I can rock out my beloved trenches, ankle booties, and layered knits... come on leaves start falling!

Oh and guess what's back at Starbucks??? PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES & SCONES!!!.... Other then the sun being a little too hot for this time of year, and the leaves not falling yet, I'm a happy girl!

Enjoy your lattes and scones!!

Cool Beans

Kat here! I'm typically someone who finds it hard to step outside my comfort zone.
Anyone who knows me knows that I can't live without enjoy a bevy {or two} from Starbucks every day now and then.



As of late, amidst a flurry of changes in my life, I've been feeling adventurous. Two days ago while meandering around Gastown with my best friend Jeremy we decided to try out the Coffeebar on Water St.


The simple menu of coffee and teas was far from intimidating in comparison to other cafes. I went for my usual London Fog {typical, I know} and was not disappointed. The food choices looked delectable but healthy at the same time, ranging from almond croissants to the salmon pasta salad.

The decor had me at hello (I couldn't resist snapping a couple of pictures). Beautiful, clean, simple, fresh, modern, cool, trendy. The opportunities are endless - sit up front row for the best spots for people watching {never boring in Gastown!}; enjoy a great book, or blog study a little more privately in the back; or take in some sunshine on the courtyard patio.

I enjoyed everything about the Coffeebar so much {drink, food, decor, atmosphere, people}, I returned again yesterday with my sister... I have a feeling it won't be my last visit!

You know where to find me!

Something with a view?

Kat here!
So great news Vancity, I checked the weather forecast for the next week and I saw something I have yet to see so far this year. SUN ALL WEEK?!

Us three girls have all been so busy doing our own thing, but with August knocking on the door (indicating that there is ONE - I repeat ONE - more month of summer freedom left) I've decided that I'm going to drag get the girls together and visit our fave patios in Vancouver.

Here's where you can find us:

chill winston - gastown

a patio for people watching, one of the best spots for vibe and atmosphere

local public eatery - kits

great view of one of the world's sexiest beaches - kits beach!!!  chill, relaxed, amazing.

havana - commercial drive

admire the adorable pups being walked on the drive and the beautiful art displayed in the gallery inside

the keg - yaletown

unbelievable rooftop patio - fireplaces, skybar, yaletown view...... need I say more?

joe fortes - robson st

seafood, fine wine, and a rooftop garden - bliss!

water st. cafe - gastown

dine to the sight and sound of gastown's iconic steamclock.... you may recognize this one from the movie 'Love Happens' - what up hollywood!

bridges - granville island

patio literally on the water. enough said.

goldfish - yaletown

quaint tables amongst a garden, c'est comme le français, non? can't forget the cozy lounge couches, pillows and candles for late night... why yes, i'll take a glass of wine.

All of these restaurants are phenomenal in their own unique ways (obviously because we're featuring them!), and you can be sure that the food is delicious and more most importantly the drinks are always pouring!
Let us know what you think, and if we missed your fave, tell us about it!

Bon appetit!

Sangria and Girl Talk

All week all I can think about is how I can't wait for friday, so I can catch up with the girls, curl up in the sunshine with a good book, and wander around downtown. But before I know it, it's late sunday afternoon I've accomplished very little, and the weekend is over :( The girls and I did however manage to catch up @ Cactus Club in Yaletown for a much needed glass of Sangria and girl talk! Now it's almost monday and I can't wait til next friday!

Perfect Day at Kits Beach!

Summer is easy living....
Especially when forced to eat delicious yam fries,  and ceasers from a boot @ Local Public Eatery in Kits Beach.

Followed by a little photoshoot...

Water, mountains, & sun what could be better?
