We purposely didn’t try to over plan and schedule too much. We knew a huge goal of this trip was to spend at least one full day just lying out at the beach. And we did just that—photos to come soon.

Something else I was super excited about was definitely to wear some of my cute summer sets that I don’t really have a chance to wear in Vancouver. One of them being this cute white set from Tobi. You can find the top here, and the bottoms here.

There will definitely be more photos of my trip up soon! Follow along.

Until next time,

Each city that I went to touched me in a different way. Los Angeles made me want to live young and free; San Francisco made me want to work hard; But New York has definitely left the deepest mark.

New York has by far been the most inspiring city that I’ve visited this year. There’s something about the busyness—everyone walking around with a purpose, nobody having time to waste—that captured my heart. Not to mention the amount of creativity and style that everyone exudes…

It’s easy to forget the feeling that a place gave you once you’re back in your own city. But I plan on holding onto this little piece of NYC that I took home with me and trying to continuously apply it to whatever it is that I’m working on.

Loving this bell-sleeve sweater dress from Tobi. It’s actually got a mock-neck neckline which I think makes it slightly more flattering and trendier than a regular crew neck. It is a little short for something to be worn in the winter (especially in Vancouver right now as it is FREEZING), but I think it’s the perfect holiday dress if you’re planning on attending any Christmas parties or events.

I paired the sweater dress with my chunkier heeled booties from Geox. I wanted to offset the girly, body-hugging silhouette of the dress with something a little more badass. Because we all know I’m not a girly girl (nor could I be).

What’s the last place that you’ve been that made you feel some type of way?

Until next time,

My favourite section of the market was definitely the flowers. There is just something about buying or receiving flowers that gives me so much joy. We walked until we each found a bouquet of flowers that we loved and treated ourselves a bouquet each. My choice of bouquets? Anything with blue or purple hydrangeas. They’ve been my favourite flowers as a kid and to this day I still adore them. Other than the flower market, Post Alley was another mandatory spot to visit to try the infamous Pike Place chowder. I can confirm that it was well worth the hype! The only advice that I have is to get the full-size soup with bread on the side rather than buying a bread bowl if you’re sharing. The bread bowl is definitely more of a novelty and isn’t worth it in my opinion. It only held a small amount of soup and why would you ever want less soup? How GORGEOUS is the Flow Away dress by Tobi by the way? Something I would want to wear while exploring Mykonos, Greece. But since that plan is still a while away, I have settled for wandering the streets of Seattle. I paired it with my De Bray backpack from Aritzia, which by the way is currently ON SALE. I matched the brown detailing on my bag with brown leather slides from Steve Madden.  We ended our Pike Place visit with a walk down the pier where the Seattle Great Wheel was located. I wish we gave ourselves a little more time to spend by the water.

Seattle is surrounded by water and on a cloudless day, it’s hard to tell where the sky ends and the water begins. Next time I have the chance to visit Seattle I will definitely plan at least one meal by the water (Crabpot anyone?).  

Until then,
