Halloween!

Halloween is one of my favorite days of the year. In fact, it is my favorite day of the year second only to my birthday, making it my favorite day of the year that people who don't know me celebrate as well. This year it was almost a disaster! We were moving on the day and thought that we would be done with tons of time to spare to get ready and head over to Ali's for a party. How wrong we were. We had to stop packing and just go to the party. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

My man and I need easy, middle of moving costumes, so we went as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's and her gigolo neighbour and true love "Fred". Easy simple costumes but so much fun.

What I discovered while trying to throw my costume together was that I, in fact, did not own a little black dress. I realized that sometimes basics are important and I have to remember that when buying clothes. I have a lot of unique pieces and sometimes nothing to go with them to make outfits due to lack of basics. 

 

A group of my friends came as the Flinestones which was awesome, they even made the large feet. My friend Alex was a gladiator and Ali was from Risky Business(Check out the background)

All in all a great time was had and we eventually finished moving the next day at around 5pm. UGH!

Love,

Girl

BCBG Maxazria and FASHION

This is how far behind I am on my updating. so many more to come now that my computer is up and running!

 FASHION Magazine and BCBG Maxazria hooked up on October 29th to reveal the new look of the BCBG Store on Robson Street. It was an amazing party. I attend with my friend, Ali as my fashionable plus one. You can only take your man to so many fashion events before he starts to dress better than you, not something I am ready for. There was great wine, amazing food, and beautiful clothes. I didn't buy anything as I was moving the next day but I would have loved to get a few pieces. Next time!

Here is what I wore to the party.

  

Shirt: Target $6

Pants: H&M $30

Shoes: Aldo Outlet $20

I tossed on a cute green coat for warmth and that was it. 

One thing that was really cool was that FASHION had professionals were taking photos all night and you can see them here.

Here is the one of the two of us after a few glasses of amazing white wine.

It was a lot of fun and look forward to the next event.

Costume Bowling '08

Every year I throw a costume bowling party at near the end of September. Its started as a way to celebrate a great summer instead of being upset that summer was over. Now we have reach the third annual and its still just as fun.

Vancouver Fashion Week Opening Party

This Wednesday was the opening party for Vancouver Fashion week at Bar None. It was a great party with even better people watching. I went bringing my man and friend Ali along with me.


Party people shot.


My man and Ali looking sharp in Bar None. Ali is wearing a new top from H&M and jeans from Zara. Not sure about the purse but its nice. My man is wearing a sweater from Banana Republic, a dress shirt from Zara, Quicksilver jeans and a Nikon watch.


I loved how this girl mixed the silver shoes with the blue dress. The one sleeve is so cute. I also love the black tights. It is still very cold in Vancouver and I love this as a way to add some warmth as well as it looks amazing. She simply looks great.


I stopped this girl as this dress is perfect. In fact I wish I had it. She got this dress at Value Village one of those great finds. Turns out she works for The Conveyor Belt which is a great online lifestyle and fashion magazine for Vancouver. I urge you to check it out.


This picture is an example of a women who needs a great going out bag, a clutch or purse of some kind. I saw her a bunch of times through out the night and that was the only thing I notice.


Here's what I wore to the party.

Leather Jacket: Thrifted on Main St $30
Dress: Gift from my man for my birthday
Shoes: Aldo $20
Earrings: Le Chateau $15
Cuff: Thrifted $2
Clutch: Gift from a friend for my birthday last year.
