Sunset at the Grand Canyon

When was the last time you sat and fully watched the sunset?

For me it was May 31st at the Grand Canyon. Maybe I haven’t watched one since because sunset at the Grand Canyon is hard to top. This was the first official canyon we visited (though Hoover Damis big enough to be a canyon), so we wanted to start with the most famous one. TBH it wasn’t my favourite canyon, but I still loved it. The…

Desert Road Trip | Hoover Dam

I spent most of June travelling. In the span of 3 weeks I saw 3 states, 3 countries, and 2 continents. It started out with a desert road trip that we had been planning since the beginning of the year. We flew into Las Vegas and then spent the next few days driving to various canyons in the area. The Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Bryce Canyon and Zion Park. Of…

What To Do In Kelowna BC

This post is in partnership with Expedia.ca

TBH I wasn’t planning on making a post of this trip. It was an intentionally wifi-free weekend – not because I didn’t have access, but simply because I didn’t want to. The main purpose of the trip wasn’t touristic. It was a long overdue visit to catch up with old friends. Catch up we did, but they also showed us some lovely spots around town. So in…

Under the Flowers | Lace Crop Top & Mint Duster

It’s not spring without a cherry blossom shoot, is it? I hope you’re not too tired of them yet. Even though I see them in the same places every year, I never do. They’re like nature’s limited edition treats. Just as I look forward to peppermint mochas and pretty light installations to distract me from the cold in December, I know that cherry blossoms will brighten up even the gloomiest April…

VIDEO | How To Style A Leather Jacket - 11 Outfit Ideas

A leather jacket is something I will probably never get sick of. It’s a classic, a staple, something that offers endless combinations. And since it’s the perfect weather for one (at least here in Vancouver), I created this lookbook on how to style a leather jacket. I hope you like it! As I mentioned in the video, I’ve had this…

Shades of Cool | Marsquest Sunglasses & Suede Biker Jacket

For a long time I thought rings were my favourite accessory, but I recently realized that it’s sunglasses. It’s ironic because I quite dislike regular glasses. I have awful eyesight (-4.25/-4.5) but I will avoid wearing my regular glasses at all costs. As for sunglasses? I’ll leap at the chance to wear them here in the PNW. Their ability to upgrade an outfit is simply amazing. I recently received…

VIDEO | 9 Stylish Ways To Wear A Hoodie

Hey guys! Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I won’t make excuses, so here’s my latest video instead. I’m sharing 9 stylish ways to wear a hoodie, just in time for the weekend. Hoodies have come a long way. They’ve gone from being the thing you throw on when you’re running to the grocery store to pretty much the item of the…

Faux Fur, Leather Skirt & Cher Tee

Here’s the outfit I wore to Vancouver Fashion Week a few weekends ago. It was freezing that day so I couldn’t wear any of the outfits I had originally planned. Instead, I thought ‘fabulous’ and threw on my vinyl boots, faux fur, leather skirt & Cher tee. I was still pretty cold when we were outside but luckily the walk to the Car2Go wasn’t far. And while a fashion week outfit is supposed to be on…

Spontaneous Trip to Squamish

Hey guys! Sorry I don’t have a regular OOTD for you today. Instead I wanted to share a spontaneous trip to Squamish we took a few weekends ago. If you’re not from Vancouver, Squamish is a small mountain town that’s an hour and a half away. It’s not your typical mountain town though. There’s no ski or snowboard hill. Instead it’s filled with trails to hike, rivers to raft, and cliffs/boulders to…

VIDEO | What To Wear To A Concert

Happy weekend guys! I’m a day late with my video, sorry, but I think it’s worth the wait. I’m sharing what to wear to a concert because I have a few coming up. I’ve done the most popular genres to include as many people as I can 🙂 sorry to any acid jazz fans, I’d have no idea what to wear to that kind of concert tbh. Music is a huge part of my life, and who doesn’t love seeing their favourite…

Pastel Monochrome | Mint Duster & Velvet Hoodie

It’s finally started to feel like spring, so I broke out all the pastels. Well, mostly. I know grey technically doesn’t count but it matches so whatever. I paired it with my mint duster & velvet hoodie for a muted pastel monochrome look. There’s something so satisfying about going monochrome. It almost doesn’t matter what the item that you’re wearing is because everything is in one tone. Very…

Style Challenge | The White Sweater Dress

The Sweater Dress

TBH, I’ve never been into sweater dresses. I only bought this one for a Halloween costume (Lana Kane from Archer). The past few Halloweens I’ve been strict with myself. I wanted costumes that I was excited about, but that required items I’d be able to wear more than once. Lana Kane is the perfect example – Archer is one of my favourite shows and all it required was the white sweater dress, OTK…

VIDEO | Easy Petite Styling Hacks

Hey friends! For this week’s video I’m sharing some easy petite styling hacks in collaboration with Bomb Petite. I’d love it if all of my clothes were petite, because it makes a huge difference from buying regular sizes. Especially in items like dresses, pants, skirts, and jackets. But it’s not always easy. I’m lucky to live in a city that has at least a few stores with petite sections, but the…

Turn Back Time | Cher T-Shirt & OTK Boots

Do you believe in life after love? Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll be honest; I don’t know many Cher songs besides Believe. Usually I only wear t-shirts of bands that I listen to all the time, but I made an exception because this one is just so damn fabulous. In my defense, Believe is saved on my Spotify in my old school playlist and I sing along every time it comes on. I may not be the biggest fan,…

VIDEO | Leather Skirt Lookbook (14 Ways to Style a Leather Skirt)

Happy March! Though today I’ve been thinking that March kind of sucks. It’s the end of winter but it’s never as warm as you think it should be. The sun is shining but there are still a few patches of snow outside and the wind is damn cold. Spring still feels distant. And here in Canada I’m used to the seasonal equinox calendar, so it’s technically still winter for a few more weeks. Anyway, this…

Silver Shearling & OTK Boots in Victoria

A few weekends ago we took a last-minute trip to Victoria (did you see the vlog?). I had less than half an hour to pack our bag, so I chose the simplest combo that’s still warm and stylish: my silver shearling & OTK boots. The good thing about statement jackets is that you don’t have to overthink the styling, anything simple will work with it. And even though the boots have a slight heel I was…
