what would you buy?


I saw over on Ashly's blog, Ashly & Monkey, she asked a very important question, "If you went on a shopping spree tomorrow, what would you buy?".  This thought came about because there is a new Anthropologie store opening in Park Royal in West Vancouver (Friday, November 8th!).  As old staff members we were both asked if we were interested to work a couple of shifts to help set up the store, with the reward of a one day only shopping day with our old employee discount, 40% off! Soo excited!!
So, I thought I'd play along and come up with a few of my favourite things.... not a tough job.


I decided to go down the home decor and accessory route.  With winter pretty much upon us, all I want to do is nest and be super cozy, so touques, table runners, and spice jars are just the ticket!!

Soooo.....the questions remains.  What would you buy?

one. a striped touque with some tomboy charm.
two. the cutest little spice jars.
three. a holly-day inspired tea towel.
four. a winter white touque with a huge pompom.
five. a pillow with a message.
six. a luxe fur cowl.
seven. the best two tone fedora ever.
eight. a chevron table runner to add some glitz.

424 FIFTH


I just had to share this amazing line, 424 FIFTH LORD & TAYLOR, the the Hudson's Bay has recently brought in.  It's got some to die for pieces that fall perfectly in line with this season's trends.  Some of my fave's include the head to toe plaid, the perfect chambray button down, and a beautiful floral long skirt.  
I'll definitely be making a purchase!

Express yourself

Just over a week ago, I attended the Grand Opening of Express at the Pacific Center, downtown Vancouver, put on by the amazing FASHION Magazine. It was such a great event, drinks, tiny appetizers, and lucky for us, a shopping discount! I brought along a friend and we had such a good time shopping around and really discovering the store. I found Express to be really on trend with bright coloured denim, dresses with feminine silhouettes and some great separates for suiting.   Some of my fave pieces included a high-low striped maxi dress, blue satin shorts, black with snakeskin detailed blouse (bought this one!) and the most perfect fitting leather blazer (wanna go back for this one!). Unfortunately, we got there a bit late and missed the celebrities, Glee's Mark Salling and 90210's Shenae Grimes, but heard they did an amazing job cutting the big ribbon.  Here are a few of my favourite photos!

Thanks so much Express and FASHION Magazine for a great night! and some swag ;)

clogs

I picked up a few pairs of shoes at the shoe sample sale I told you guys about from a week ago or so, and these little clogs were my favourites!  I also picked up a pair of black chunky heels and a some brown leather boots.  Considering I'm not a sample size, I think I made out pretty good!
Anyone have some shopping success lately?

day dreaming

Is it fair to say that today I caught myself day dreaming about summer. It's the middle of January and visions of beaches, sunshine, and bare legs are dancing through my mind. I've been doing some research (read: online window shopping) and Spring/Summer 2011 trends are looking amazing. Whether its flowy fabrics, bright and pastel colours, or bold embellishments that aren't too overpowering, I'm enjoying the dream of wearing it all! Here's a look at some of my favourites.
