PRIDE

It's May!!

The sun is out, and it's finally starting to feel like summer! With summer just around the corner, the city's event calendar is filling up fast! One of my favourite festivals to look forward to in the city every year is.... Pride Festival!! This year will be featuring Vancouver's local band Mandrake, whose new single, "Pot of Gold"- feat. Buzy B as the official song of Pride. Their album will be released in July, so keep a look out!

Men's Monday

Sh*t non-fashionistos say:
                "Is that a Murse?"

Lately, I've been obsessed with "statement" pieces, every outfit needs at least one.

That one piece that  turns heads and is greeted with the silent stamp of approval from fellow passerbyers.
That one piece that envokes envy from others who wish they could be in your shoes and be enveloped by your confidence. Where am I going with this you ask?

I have noticed that during my most recent shopping trips downtown, bags have wedged their way to the forefront of my attention. From ogling the Tom Buckle Tote bag and Ernest Alexander messenger bag at Club Monaco, to fogging up the windows at Louis Vuitton on Burrard, or drooling over the Pendleton Patterned messenger bag at Urban Outfitters...*sigh*

...need I say more?

 

Only real men can pull off "bubble gum" pink





One day...

Cozy Knits

I can't believe Christmas is 10 days away. Where did December go? And 2011 for that matter? Aside from the last minute mad-dash of finishing up shopping, I love how cozy, and warm the house feels at this time of year. All the Christmas decorations are up, there's a million Christmas movies on t.v., and best of all... the constant smell of melting butter, and chocolate coming from the kitchen (gotta love Christmas bake goods)! All that's missing is A LITTLE snow! For now I'm going to get cozy in front of the fireplace, with a cup of hot chocolate, and a book... what could be better? 

You can never have too many thick knit sweaters...

Here's what I've been dancing up a storm too (along with Michael Buble's Christmas Album).. can't get enough of Bombay Bicycle Club!

 

Happy Dancin'!!

Simple Sundays

Kat here! So I don't know about you but my Sundays always consist of lounging around at home trying to regain my energy sanity after a hectic week(end) whilst at the same time preparing for yet another crazy one.

My weekend themes: messy buns - no makeup - comfy clothes - sunnies - {several cups of} coffee - laughter & love & happiness
