Make Tracks

1 / 9 / 131 / 14 / 13

Snapseed (1)Back in Calgary, layering over-the-knee tights (look for OTK on the packaging when you’re shopping) on top of regular tights keeps me warm on the days I need to wear sweater dresses while chasing rabbits. Boots by Roots. xx

Blue Besos Goes to Vancouver

1 / 8 / 134 / 14 / 13

A quick trip to my hometown of Vancouver uncovered so many new places. The restaurants! The bars! The shops! Not to mention the scenery!! Excuse the effusiveness, I just read Tom Wolfe’s Back To Blood and his style is contagious. I couldn’t check out 99% of the places I wanted to (that’s an official numeric value I just made up) but… the random sampling of places I did get to proved just how cool lotus land is. As if I didn’t know.

P1020181

The name of a Willie Nelson song, and strangely satisfying art in front of the Vancouver Public Library.

P1020178

Happy, shiny Tiffany. Look at the post-purchase glow I have after finding this boutique:

P1020169

Loft 82 on Granville Street downtown. There’s a few of these super-chic little shops sprinkled in cities north of the 49th parallel, including one of my old stomping grounds — hint:  the airport code is YEG! Anyhow, I couldn’t resist:

P1020179

Who doesn’t need a little wishbone action in their lives? Then, moseying into the Bay on Georgia Street, which recently had a big luxury upgrade that I -ahem- didn’t really notice, I was distracted by this:

P1020174

An entire area devoted to selling Nespresso. The coffee that Penelope Cruz is currently bringing sexy to on TV. I had to try it.

P1020175

Those little individual espresso containers are an environmental disaster, but Dios mio! My instant Dulsao do Brasil was soooo good.

P1020207

Everywhere I turned, I found a new store that had just opened. Nineteen Ten on Main street sold gorgeous home accessories…

P1020206

Don’t set your heart on that owl bottle opener, because he went home with me.

P1020217

Such a short trip! But I did manage to visit Horseshoe Bay. It’s a sleepy, small neighborhood – a nice little stop if you’re on the way up to Whistler or about to catch a ferry to Bowen, Nanaimo or the Sunshine Coast.

P1020213

For some clam chowder with a view of the harbor, try Olive+Anchor. Formerly YaYa’s Oyster Bar, their comfort food will warm you up on one of those damp, grey Vancouver days. ClearSmall xx 2

When Aliens Attack

Sassy Cabbie

1 / 6 / 131 / 10 / 13

Is it cool to look like a sassy cabbie driver? That’s how someone described me today. I took it as a compliment, because —

  1. Sassy cabbies make me think of New York and I♥NY
  2. It’s definitely cool to wear vivid color on a dull grey day

“Naturally” Blonde

1 / 5 / 134 / 19 / 13

There is only one person I trust to keep me naturally blonde:  Kevin Shiu, at Headspace in Vancouver. My roots have been known to turn orange during highlighting. Other stylists have tried to semantic their way out of it by saying my hair has a tendency to “pull warm.” But disaster never happens with Kevin, and as a result I am fully dependent on his prowess with my tresses.photo (10)Action shot! No matter what city I live in, a trip to the hairdresser’s means a trip to YVR!P1020164Oh, and did I mention the multi-talented Kevin Shiu is also a world renowned DJ? Apparently Tiesto and I have the same taste in music – he’s also a KS fan. Catch one of Kevin’s sets on Frisky Radio.

Brand Old Bag

1 / 3 / 137 / 20 / 13

Aaah, my impractical white leather bag:  Gucci 85th Anniversary Limited Edition.

photo (10)So … seven years ago. Yet I still love it. That white leather is almost impervious to damage. And those horse bit details never go out of style!ClearSmall xx 2

Faithful Steed

1 / 2 / 134 / 29 / 13

Polo style starts with a pair of white jeans, which is oh-so-decadent since they’ll be dirty as soon as you start playing. A white pony ups the fashion ante.
