Sneak Peek // Seagulls

Just wanted to quickly share a sneak peek of the outfit we shot today. It was only -3 & the sun was shining brightly so I wanted to incorporate some colour into a Spring transition look. I'm wearing my new orange batwing top c/o OASAP which I already love to pieces. We drove in circles around the city looking for the perfect location, but ended up on the waterfront, with the seagulls as our only audience. 

More photos to come tomorrow so stay tuned :)

Sneak Peek // Faux Fur

Hello lovelies! Here is a preview of my latest 'look of the day'; complete with winter green, faux fur, & a darling little owl. Quickly snapped on this gloomy afternoon, I was glad to get it in at all considering my crazy work schedule & looming to-do list. As much as I want to hide in bed & wish it all away, I know it'll all get done if I take it piece by piece.

I went out walking in the rain this morning before settling down to an attempt at productivity. For a misty Sunday the city was unusually alive. From delightful pigeons trying to avoid the rain, to a man on a bicycle whispering me crude things; between endless snobby sales girls, & a toothy smiling homeless man, a million thoughts passed through my head. Life is interesting.

On that note I'm off to conduct an apartment cleaning spree, conquer my German homework, & catch up on my blog reading. Be sure to check back tomorrow for my full outfit post :)

Whirlwind

Life has indeed been a whirlwind lately, between working full-time, 2 distance university courses, & attempting to keep an eye on the blog/fashion world. Yet again I'm off to work (in literally minutes) - so here is a quick post to let you know that yes, I am still alive :)


Above is a sneak peek of what I'm wearing today. I ordered these dotted tights from ASOS last week & they finally arrived in the mail this morning.... so of course I had to wear them instantly. They are so much fun! Not very ''Banana Republic'' attire, so I'm curious to see how this one goes over at work. Regardless, I love it; it's so ''me''. More photos to come tomorrow! 

Finally purchased my Christmas cards for this year! The cutest little Kate Spade set, as well as some festive generic ones. Also got a Christmas-tree scented candle to give the apartment a little holiday touch. It is so delightful to wake up to that scent every morning!

I'm off to work - hope you all have a fantastic day! :)

Baby you'll freeze out there

Here is a sneak peek of my newest 'Look of the Day' shoot! We may have been a little over-zealous & taken 700+ shots, so hopefully by tomorrow I'll have them sorted & edited to share with you :) In reference to the title of this post - today was freezing! I was obviously bundled in my toasty Zara coat for the most part, but the coat-less shots literally turned my hands blue. I was pretty thankful upon returning home to Chinese take-out & some festive movie-watching. 


And with my head chock full of Christmas carols I thought I'd share some recent pictures of Vancouver all lit up for the holidays! A co-worker of mine brought me on a very thorough driving tour of the city last night, & I have to admit this is one beautiful place. He showed me so many places that had previously been beyond my walking capacity & I'm so glad to have discovered them! There will definitely be more exploring in the near future :) 

Oh so Christmasy! The outdoor skating rink, on my way home from work a few days ago.

Last seen here, by day.

And last but not least - the Lions Gate Bridge last night, viewed from Stanley Park.

Is your city all decked out for the holidays? :)
