Christmas Wishlist

There are only 25 days, 5 hours, & 6 minutes until Christmas…. but who's counting? :) My outfit of the day had some cute festive elements, but the minute I was ready to shoot it outside the rain began. As such, I've officially declared it a cosy xmas movie + Noel Nog kinda night! 

In lieu of a look of the day post here is my Christmas Wishlist, which I've been meaning to post lately anyways! I've been thinking long & hard about a lot of things I'd like this year for Christmas, but ultimately I'm really in need of some versatile pieces for my wardrobe.... and an umbrella (I'm probably about the only Vancouverite that doesn't own one). 

Christmas Wishlist 1





I know colour-wise this set doesn't look very festive, but I feel these pieces would make the perfect additions to my winter wardrobe! The black Marc by Marc Jacobs bag I'm desperately in need of, as all my bags seem to be uncanny shades of brown & pink. As for coloured trousers, I've been on the search for some all season with no luck in this city. These glitter boots by Topshop aren't the only glittery footwear I've got my eye on for Christmas, but seem the most practical weather-wise. As for the 2 outerwear pieces; I have also been on a desperate search for a perfect faux fur vest & a coat that isn't black/form-fitting. These 2 beauties definitely fit the bill! 

And there you have it, a rough idea of what lovely items are on my mind for Christmas! What do you think about my choices? What pieces are you wishing for this holiday season?

It's holiday movie marathon time for me - hope you all have a fabulous night! <3

I AM DOWNTOWN

Tonight we braved the rain to attend the 'I Am Downtown' shopping + fashion event at the Pacific Centre, here in downtown Vancouver. 


As you can see from the advertisement below, the event included a fashion show within the shopping centre. I absolutely loved all the pieces shown - so much glitter, sequin, & velvet! The outfits were basically comprised of designers & labels housed at the Pacific Centre, including: Michael Kors, Max Mara, Aritzia, Browns, Hugo Boss, Stuart Weitzman, Club Monaco, Judith & Charles, Mexx, Harry Rosen, Nine West, Sears, & Ann Louise Jewellers. The only negative aspect was not being able to easily identify the designers of each & every piece (unfortunate if you've got precise shopping on the mind).


Anyways, I've got a bunch of fashion show photo's for you below. All were taken by the wonderfully obliging Matt Walker, so I could better focus on the stuff at hand (& he's about 150x better than me anyways). 


Hope you enjoy & please let me know what your favourite pieces are! 

This one was unfortunately slightly blurred, but I had to show you this gorgeous cardi/wrap sweater!





Oh hello bag that I really, really want. 



Stuart Weitzman heels
Pretty much need this coat.




One of my absolute favourites of the night - Velvet blazer, velvet pants, sheer blouse.... so fabulous.
Going on a mission tomorrow to find this blazer! 
Club Monaco velvet skirt.




Stunning statement necklace & earrings by Ann Louise Jewellers.



So much sparkle... 



My other favourite of the evening - the black sequin jumpsuit! Completely enamoured with this one...

And that is that! Hope you all have a wonderful evening :)

Pacific Time

After an incredibly productive morning, I headed to the beach to enjoy some gorgeous sunshine! 


Despite some minor lighting difficulties, we managed to get a little photo shoot in :) I opted for a couple new pieces: a new Sparkle & Fade striped sweater ($5 Urban Outfitters sale; score) & a pair of beyond bright lime green high-waisted shorts which I discovered at Retro Rock Vintage. Paired with navy tights, metallic glitter flats, and gold accessories. Obviously a little bit of a nautical vibe...


Sun in my eyes!




Loving the fact that I can see 'home' from the beach! :)

And my shoes are full of sand...

Gold rings galore + my favourite pendant necklace (which incorporates a little more green & pleases the part of me that loves things 'matchy matchy')



I was wearing:
Striped sweater - Sparkle & Fade, Urban Outfitters
Lime high-waisted shorts  - vintage, Retro Rock
Metallic glitter flats - Spring
Leaf necklace - Girly Peepshow Boutique (old)
