We went to wreck beach yesterday. So far this has been my favourite place in Vancouver. I love it more then any place we have been so far. More then Grosse mountain, more then Lynn canyon, more then Victoria and China Beach. I fell in love with Wreck Beach. It is the most beautiful place ever. We went at low tide. Stunning. It's been a blast having Carly visiting us here. Thanks to Tristan for...
University of British ColumbiA March 16 2012
My friend Carly arrived! We trudged all around UBC yesterday. It was glorious. We went to the botanical gardens...we think we might have missed something, or maybe it was the season we went in? We were just not quite too sure what all the hype was about. We also went to Wreck Beach, which was gorgeous. I'll post photos tomorrow.
It's funny walking around Vancouver with Carly and Tristan. I went to...

Do you know who Kony is?
If you don't, take a minute and press play. Watch, listen and learn who Kony is.
The youth of today are banning together. Seriously just take a second and hit play. You won't regret it.
Find out who Kony is. Spread the word. We can help make Kony famous. We can help some of the children from Uganda get their lives back.

a walk, a hike and two sore feet March 04 2012
Last week we went to Lynn Canyon. It was a spectacular, FREE, hike in the woods with a suspension bridge. We ventured off the path once (it's hard not to!) and were immediately told when we got home, how silly that was considering there are cougars and bears EVERYWHERE. Eyikes.
Happy Sunday everyone. I'm off to get some flowers to shoot my new necklaces for the website.
Real Life Barbie Dolls March 02 2012
Remember playing dress up with your dolls?
How about taking two real life dolls and dressing them up?
Q and N stopped over for a visit in Vancouver on their way to Asia. They came with only summer shorts, a tank top and a backpack. In downtown Vancouver we ventured, with the light snow dusting shorts was not a good option. Thus came to be, my real life barbie dolls.

Stink for the Arctic February 25 2012
Have you seen these strange and wondrous beasts?
Tristan was reading BLURT magazine the other night and stumbled upon these majestic creatures.
Check out the website, by clicking here...apparently even Kate Moss and her 9 year old daughter are sporting the spirit hoods. At 125 bucks a pop, I guess that's what's slowing people down from knocking down the door to get these gems
The company seems to...

a day of mural hunting February 22 2012
I've been trying to find a good spot to take my outfit posts...the balcony is kind of wonky and I'm sure you, like me, want to see it out and about town.
We found some really neat art works, but there are TONS of people around...and I feel mighty awkward taking off my jacket, and snapping photos in front of a ton of strangers. It has been freezing here as of late. The forecast is calling for a mix...

| Can you tell my boyfriend is a Leafs fan and is trying to convert me? I've been to two leafs games this year. Ask me how many Leafs games I had been to before I met him? None. Toronto was much more hospitable when we went to the game there, versus in Vancouver on the weekend. The Canucks fans are vicious...and a tad rude, when not donning the... |

Here's all four of us at the aquarium.
We didn't want to pay the outlandish prices for the photo. A plan was hatched. A mission was formed. Jim did the dirty work while Konny was the decoy. Jim took a photo on his phone while Konny distracted the front desk woman. Mission successful.
