Our wedding invites are almost ready to be posted in the mail! What a Goldilocks-esque struggle it can be if you’re set on finding the just-right invitation of your matrimonial dreams. I have loved, hated, felt numb, dumb and now once again love what we’ve come up with. Heavily inspired by the work of Etsy-success unlesssomeonelikeyou, [...]

I like the colour grey. Usually. Not so much when our weekend plans sit under a pile of rocks on the Sea- to-Sky highway. And not so much now that my winter clothes have begun seeping back into my day-to-day wardrobe. Oh well, better this side of the fall than under it. With luck, we’ll [...]
I love the store Plenty. How to describe it? It’s like the perfect group of really fun and interesting people at a laid-back party, but catered, with great music, food and wine. And that’s a lot to say about a clothing store. Anyway, I just bought this jacket for $69 (on sale from $94) and [...]

Or, it would have been a sign if the red hand were that white walking man instead. The honeymoon is booked. Beach Blanket Babylon will be ours for a ridiculously luxurious 17 nights. I’ve never had much interest in all-inclusives, despite suffering through a long-lived and unfulfilled desire to go to Mexico. But, I have to say, I am growing increasingly warm [...]

I can love Oprah if I want to. And I do, I do, I do. Even if her show is terrbile and her magazine got kind of sucky. Sometimes you just need a little O in your life. Thankfully, Sarah doesn’t mind being Gayle. (Photo, even more embarassing, was borrowed from here).

Viva la summer! It’s hot out. Two backyard bbq’s on the agenda today and then a trip to the airport to pick up my parents who are returning from 3 weeks in Italy. Also exciting? The start of farmer’s market season in Vancouver. I was so sad when we moved away from the Nelson Street [...]

Dear me, Thank you for leaving work so decisively for your lunch hour and driving like a mad woman to Coco et Olive. There is something so beautiful about knowing exactly what will give you pleasure, reprieve, salvation – and when. This short americano with 1/4 pack of raw sugar and your hand wrapped around [...]

Sometimes your instincts are just right. For instance, the voice inside me that said, you must go to the Holt Renfrew Beauty Event and, you must buy that $75 dollar brush and, you mustn’t be afraid to ask the La Mer lady for an extra sample. In fact, all bad life-decisions aside, I’m glad I’ve [...]

I seem to be on a celebrity kick today. There’s really nothing better than a good old fashioned air-brushing exposed. I work in a casual office and sometimes I just look at myself and think, how did it become o.k. to leave the house like this? When did the Shopper’s Drug Mart hair-claw become my [...]
