Local Love: 1 Blazer, 5 Looks
This blog post idea has been in my mind for a couple months, but I kept putting it off. I think maybe the announcement that Fixed Coffee is soon closing its doors really put my butt in gear. The last time I bought clothes in a mall/retail chain was December 2014. I was in Sydney, Australia, and bought a NYE tank top at Cotton On. … Continue reading Local Love: 1 Blazer, 5 Looks
TOBI Love
We were recently invited to do a collab with TOBI, which is a good time since their Party Dress selections are pretty friggan’ fabulous! Pages and pages of lace & sequins & CRUSHED VELVET YES PLEASE. We chose pieces we could also wear months from now when there’s no snow on the ground, haha. Note: If you live anywhere where Winter is a below freezing thing … Continue reading TOBI Love
Jellybean Row
We live an hour from one of the World’s Most Colourful Cities. (No really. Read this, for example.) Want a specific colour in the background of your photo? There’s a rowhouse for that! This past Summer and Fall, we really got inspired. Hair and all. (Note: Jana’s red hair is a washout spray. If you’ve ever dyed your hair bright red and tried to get … Continue reading Jellybean Row
Maddox Cove with Melanie Jacqueline
We knew our day of shooting with MJ would be fun, but we were honestly unprepared for just HOW fun. (Okay, fine, the champagne probably played a role, but we’d like to think the bubbles just enhanced the bubbles that were already there. This comparison sounded so much better in my head.) The day was happy and warm and gracious, just like Melanie and the … Continue reading Maddox Cove with Melanie Jacqueline
A Lighthouse “Picnic”
It’s Confession Time! I can’t stand going for walks. And when I say “going for walks”, I mean for leisure. A walk “just for the sake of it”. Jess, however, enjoys walking very much. She can even tolerate the treadmill. I just shuddered at the mere thought of getting on the treadmill. The only time I enjoy going for a walk is when there’s a … Continue reading A Lighthouse “Picnic”
Dessert Diaries: Nanaimo Bars
Jana here. Yes, Jess is in this post, too. We just have very different levels of obsession when it comes to Nanaimo Bars. I would choose them as part of my last meal on Earth, and Jess most definitely would not. They’re on my list of “Top 5 Favourite Foods”. Foods in general, not just Desserts. They’re right up there with Burgers and Falafel for … Continue reading Dessert Diaries: Nanaimo Bars
Buffalo Exchange + Free People
Every time we visit the USA or get anywhere near the country’s border, we always scout out the nearest Buffalo Exchange locations. We’re not even joking. We’ve rented a car in Vancouver to drive down to the Seattle stores. We’ve rented a car in Montreal just to shop at the Boston locations. We spent hours on the bus in LA to find them. And it’s … Continue reading Buffalo Exchange + Free People
Thrifted Thursday: 06.29.17
We’re not fans of sticking to the “women’s” section in a thrift store. No, we’d much rather shop the entire store. Our bodies are all different shapes and sizes, and we’ve all got our own sense of style, so we say shop in whatever section you want! (If this sometimes includes the kids’ section, too, that’s totally fine!) On our last trip to SA Thrift, … Continue reading Thrifted Thursday: 06.29.17
Spring & Summer at Model Citizens
A visual explanation of why we love when a new shipment drops at Model Citizens: Continue reading Spring & Summer at Model Citizens
Thrifted Thursday: 06.22.17
Do Graphic Tees ever really go out of style? We doubt it. Take band tees, for instance. Have Nirvana t-shirts ever NOT been in fashion? And no matter how old the logo of a sports team is, it’s still hip. Thrift stores are perhaps the absolute best spot to find awesome graphic tees. Whether you’re looking for your favourite band, your favourite film, or your … Continue reading Thrifted Thursday: 06.22.17
