I found out this week the key to dressing semi-stylish in the winter is just to own some really long coats and super warm bombers. Because really you probably will be spending most of your time indoors somewhere anyways.. so throw a thick jacket over a cute outfit and BAM. Winter ready. Unless you’re hanging out outside then my tip to you is just to layer on as many layers as humanly possible. 

For my outfit I just layered a really long coat over top of my outfit. Inside, I’m wearing my Gordon camisole from Aritzia which is a classic 90s straight neckline cami. I tucked it into my Citizens of Humanity Liyas which are a light-washed mom jean style. Threw my camel long cardigan and a pair of black booties on and I was good to go. Most of the time, indoors, that was what I was wearing. When I had to actually go outside and bear the cold I threw this new coat that I found from Winners on and my Herringbone scarf from Aritzia. And you know what… I didn’t freeze to death today! So I think my first “winter” outfit was a success!

By the way, a lot of clothing is already on sale on the Aritzia website right now so go and spend some money! And do me a favour and BUY ONLINE. So us poor girls can clean up the store and leave work at a godly hour. KTHNXBYE.

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, 

My birthday was this past weekend, and I got extremely lucky with the weather. Vancouver decided to be extra nice, and was warm and sunny all weekend long. My friend, Jordan, took me out for lunch at Ban Wasana in Kerrisdale in celebration, and it was SO HOT that day that I was sweating a little even in my romper.

As I have mentioned, I have been loving wearing white sneakers with my outfits this Summer, and my white Chuck Taylors definitely play a huge role in my new found obsession.

I think Chucks are a staple shoe that everyone should own at least one pair of . I have loved chucks ever since my first pair in grade 5, and haven’t stopped loving them ever since. However, now-a-days I only own two pair that really fit me. A classic white pair, and a classic black pair. Staples.
