It seems everytime I visit Steveston I find another little fashionable secret. So when I was invited to a blogger event at Violet Hill Boutique in Steveston I thought it would be fun. And I wasn't wrong. It is a lovely boutique full of modern clothing - and right at the Moncton and 1 Road [...]
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 [...]
It is hard to avoid the fact that the holidays are fast approaching. My inbox is overflowing with events with clients, for my husband's work, or get togethers with friends and family. My first official holiday party is tonight. So now comes the question of what to wear to all these different events? I don't buy [...]
Recently Vancouver designer Jacqueline Conoir unveiled her Spring/Summer 2012 collection at, what I assume was, a fantastic runway show in her new 9,000 square foot showroom (I wasn't able to attend). But today I'm not interested in thinking ahead to spring. I want to think about fall/winter, and some great dresses. Rozemerie Cuevas has been [...]
The Vancouver Circle Craft Christmas Market starts today. I know. I know. Jack-o-lanterns are still sitting on some front yards (I know ours are).

Yesterday I received the latest Fluevog newsletter, so of course I had to check what new shoes they have. Once I saw these Portside babies, I was in shoe love. Maybe Santa will be extra nice to me this year - in an 8.5 please. Source Did you like this? Share it:Tweet
This is another installment in my locals that I love fall series. Today is casual friday, which in a lot of offices could be called Shlumpadinka Friday (thank you Oprah for coining this perfect word that just rolls off your tongue to describe a sloppy dresser). I'd like to suggest we rename Fridays Smart Fridays. A little more casual [...]
I'm going to attempt a theme this week and feature a number of great fall items from local Vancouver designers. I know everyone else has been talking fall trends for weeks already. While September might be back-to-school, I don't really start pulling out my fall/winter wardrobe until after Thanksgiving. And then there was that week of [...]
I haven't done a Fashion Follow Friday in a long time. So I thought I'd make a few suggestions based on designs I saw at Spend on Trend last weekend. I love Spend on Trend as it brings such a unique mix of local designers and artisans in one place. There were some old favourites [...]
