It’s a fun game to play — which pieces did you find at a thrift store in Vancouver and which did you find at Printemps in Paris? Answers: Dior scarf from Paris, thrifted belt from the ‘Couv.

Speaking of low/high — this dress once had a much lower hemline, but it felt far too heavy (even for fall) so I had it raised.

The wishbone belt buckle makes me so excited for American Thanksgiving. (Yes, I celebrate all the Thanksgivings North America has to offer.)

The Givenchy tights? They make me kind of excited to dress for cooler weather. But only kind of.

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.

Antalya, Turkey.

Which is where I bought it.

It works just as beautifully as a dress as it does as a shirt.

And for that, I love it.

Leroy’s happy place? The dog park. Which is where we took him for his first birthday last week. Happy birthday, baby beast!

‘Tis vintage, this dress.

And I’m going to bet it’s from the ’60s.

And I’m also going to bet it was worn by a flight attendant (can’t you just imagine the matching hat?).

And also, that she flew to Rome a lot. Because it just seems like something she would do.
