I was given the opportunity to choose a pair of shoes from their new brand, Hardy, to try out and I was beyond excited. Hardy shoes all have this great ‘men’s fashion’ silhouette and are all slim, sleek, and GAAAWWW-GEOUS. Processed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 presetAfter much deliberation, (like literally took me over an hour just to pick a style), I decided on the Devon style in the colour ‘Mushroom’. The Devon shoe has a Nubuck leather outer layer and has a leather lining. My favourite part of the shoe has got to be its cushioned sole, making the shoe really comfortable. BUT I would recommend sizing up half a size especially if you have wider feet like me. Although I am usually a true 7.5 in shoes, I found that the slim shape of the shoe made it tight for my feet. I’ve only worn the shoe twice so far so I think it definitely still needs to be broken in, but I think size 8 would’ve been a good idea cause the shoe would be comfortable right off the bat. 

Other than that I really love the shape and style of the Devon shoe! I think it’s a very classic oxford shape with an elegant feminine twist. Plus how LOVELY is the ‘Mushroom’ colour though? Perfect for the spring/summer. I’m going to stick a shoe stretcher into it and see if it helps break in the leather a little. Will keep you guys updated on how it feels!

So upon exploring Kerrisdale with Mary the other day, we found this beautiful gem of a place that’s practically right in our back yard. And of course, being the instagrammers that we are, we instantly saw it as backgrounds galore haha. 

I was actually so amazed at the beauty of this place. It definitely gave off a European vibe and it makes it look like I’m somewhere much more exciting than Kerrisdale. I’ll definitely be using this place as a shoot location A LOT more in the near future (was wishing I brought like ten outfits out that day) but here’s a quick glimpse into my new little paradise.

The romper that I’m wearing was actually a long jumpsuit that I found at Winners. I didn’t like the way the legs flared out at the end, found it really unflattering, so I snipped off the legs and made it into a romper! I think it’s way cuter this way :3 I love the tie detailing at the waist that cinches you in at the waist, as well as the deep V. It hugs my body at all the right places I love it!

I can not WAIT to shoot more here. Will definitely be allocating a whole day to spend shooting and filming here. God, I’m in LOVE. 

If you live in Vancouver, let me know in the comments your favourite places to shoot or just places you think are absolutely dreamy. I’m always looking for new backdrops and I definitely got lucky with this one. 

More soon,

Yet another pair of white sneakers. I had to conform and pick these oldies up. Stan Smiths have been around for ages and ages, and they recently, for some reason, blew up again. For being so popular, they were actually quite the elusive shoe. There was only one store that carried them in my size, in the entire mall. Most stores didn’t even carry women’s sizes.

I have a feeling I’m going to get PLENTY of wear out of these, so I’m super glad I picked them up before the price gets jacked up, or they completely run out of sizes !

Think I’ve worn them every day since I got them :b

What do you think about the Stan Smiths?

Until next time,
