An Ode To Dreamlands

I thought I would share a few of my favourite looks from Paris Fashion week. Of coarse they are in regards to three of my favourite designers: Marc Jacobs for LV, Karl Lagerfeld, and Sarah Burton. All of their shows took us to another world.

Chanel brought us to an underwater dream world, while Louis Vuitton showed us the most glamorous way to ride a carousel, and Sarah Burton encapsulated the essence of Alexander Mcqueen further proving to the fashion world that she is fully engrossed in the Alexander Mcqueen brand, probably more than she realises.

Final Summer Sunset

DSC02234



As summer came to a close I was lucky enough to witness (and capture) a beautiful sunset, reminding me that even in the darkest of times there is still beauty....you just have to look. This past summer has been a whirlwind. So many changes and so many risks (some of which I wish I didn't take). After all is said and done I believe that everything happens for a reason, even if it hurts like hell. Letting your armour fall off of you and opening your heart to someone is a gut wrenching and terrifying act, but we must if we want to know love. Sometimes though we are blinded. Blinded by who we think someone is or who they ought to be. Instead of seeing them for who they truly are. This is how it crashes. Screeching to a hault, taking no prisoners, and disappearing into the abyss.

Through the darkness though we see glimpses of light. A summer sunset in the distance through your dark and tension filled apartment reminds you that soon the light will fill you up again. Just keep packing, keep reminding yourself you are a strong woman who can conquer anything, including heartache. Soon the darkness will be distant.

Had a great evening of wardrobe changes and mini photoshoots with my fellow classmate and now Aritzia employee Tika! I am in love with her Steve Madden boots, so versatile! As sad as it is that Summer is over, I am so excited for Fall and all the layering that comes with it. Fall Fashion For The Win. Always.

Trending Meat

Searching for something new and hearty, Sarah and I finally came to the conculsion that we must try Meat & Bread. I have heard so many great things about this place and the meaty deliciousness that is inside, so we headed straight for Cambie.

This really is a perfect location for a little fast service gourmet meat shop. When I say gourmet, this isn't to be taken lightly. The Porchetta was porbably the best sandwhich I've had in my life.

The meat is slow roasted daily and sliced to order, rendering the meat ultra tender and moist. The porchetta is then stuffed with garlic and herbs and topped with a salsa verde sauce.

Along with our porchetta's, we also shared the housmade chilli. Again, probablyt he best chilli I've ever had! Definatly reccomend going here if you haven't already.



Trendiest Meat in town.
