It is leap year, and this year instead of just celebrating the extra day, you can also make a stop against bullying. Next Wednesday, February 29th is Pink Shirt Day. You don't need to have school age children to make a statement against bullying. Bullying doesn't just take place in the school yard, it happens [...]
It is January. It is cold. It is rainy (for those of us in Vancouver). And we are expecting our first snow of the year this weekend. Spring seems very far away right now. And I am dreaming of warm, sunny beaches. What to wear on that imaginary beach? Why a cute and colourful dress, of course. [...]
Today I got an hour to drop into the One of a Kind Show for a quick peek around. Just enough time to visit some of my favourite local vendors and check out a few new ones. If you are looking for unique holiday gifts or a great shopping trip with some friends the One [...]
Back to my theme of locals that I love this fall. Nicole Bridger has been a favorite of mine for some time. She designs socially conscious and versatile clothing. She is usually THE draw for me each season at Eco Fashion Week. But Nicole also hosts a smaller fashion show, with her some of her [...]
This upcoming Saturday, November 5th is the Women in Leadership Foundation's Annual Gala. The evening celebrates the 10th Anniversary of WIL and 10 years of inspiring and celebrating success. I will be attending with my very chic date Alexis from Wave the Stick. Yup the same Alexis who drove with me on my TraverseTrip to [...]

And the third week in September in particular. I [...]
This upcoming Sunday I am going to be participating in Run for the Cure in Vancouver. To be honest, I'll be walking 5km for the cure, because my Achilles tendonitis doesn't like running. And I won't be alone, I'm running/walking on the Bloggers for Boobies team with 9 other awesome bloggers. Some who I know [...]
From time to time I post interesting fashion related events on my events page. There is usually a summary of the events listed in the sidebar. But once in a while there is an event that I feel needs that little extra bit of attention. Sweet Talk is one of those events. I have a [...]
Last week I made the trek to West Vancouver to check out the new digs for Urban Mommies - so jealous of her view out to the Marina. It was a bit of a mix mash of a day for me with a Board of Trade networking event at lunch and then the party at [...]
I don't do a lot of sale announcements here, but couldn't resist telling everyone about this great sale by Jacqueline Conoir. She is moving to a new studio in July so they blowing things out. It starts today so you better hurry in! Jacqueline Conoir will be moving into a new location in mid July [...]
