Maybe it’s not meant to be

Love the Friendly Fires, but it seems like I’ll never get to see them play live. When they opened for Lykke Li in the fall, we got to Richard’s on Richards too late to see them and I’ve been regretting it ever since.

They’re coming back to Vancouver in April, but on the same night as Britney (obviously I have tickets to Britney). Will you go for me and let me know how it is?

Cannot control myself when it comes to vintage pieces — especially handbags, skirts and jewelry. Picked up four dresses at Bohemia Gallery on Main Street in Vancouver and am getting them altered as I type.

The fruit bowl is from the Vancouver Art Gallery’s gift store, by the way. The teeth marks on it are from my cat Getty.
