Now I can shout it from the rooftops!

I bit my tongue for weeks (felt like eons) but now that the 1st anniversary issue of Contra Magazine has been published, I can finally tell you it features Vancouver’s style set (and me! Without my head cropped out of the photos!).

I dare you to scroll through the issue and tell me Vancouver doesn’t outshine the other cities. It’s all thanks to Paul Melo of StyleQuotient whose gorgeous photos made our city sparkle (get it? I’m wearing sequins!).

I’m also wearing a custom t-shirt by super cool cat Michael Doehle, whose original illustration you can find here.

I cannot thank you enough, Paul. The whole spread looks incredible.

    Fabulous outfit! You look wonderful. And that settles it — I really must have a sequined cardigan now. Who’s got the best ones?

    Janis — you’ve had enough of the headlessness, have you?

    Adela — Paul is going to kill me for cropping his gorgeous photo!

    Nicole — so do you! Love your yellow scarf.

    Miriam — that’s Paul for you.

    Style Spy — good question. I found mine at an antique fair. And I love it!

    La Flore — vraiment? Incroyable! Je ne can wait pas!

    Lisa — Paul takes gorgeous photos, doesn’t he?
