I said it during my segment and I'll say it again... everyone needs a pair of distressed denim shorts or jeans for the summer! My Instagram newsfeed is chockablock FULL of denim looks and I can't wait to share with you a few of my favorite pieces.

Spring Trend Fashion Report
I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I'm behind with posting my segments (and posting in general... yikes).
Luckily for ME, however, is that Spring really has yet to... well... 'sprung'! Forecast shows nothing but grey skies and rain for the next week in Vancouver. What's up with that?

What's Up Spring Break?
I know it's tough to get inspired by 'Spring Fashion' - particularly because there's still snow on the ground... but that's what Spring Break is for! Am I right....?

GARIBALDI LAKE
I can’t believe it’s been a year and a half since I moved to Vancouver… and I still haven’t explored the hell out of it like one should. Before today, I had only hiked two trails (Quarry Rock + NorVan Falls - both beginner level and lovely). Today… well, today was a bit more challenging (for me, anyhow) and let’s just say the views were undeniably worth my struggle (red wine may or may have not been consumed the night prior!).

Social Video Marketing
It comes as no surprise that 2016 has been labeled "The Year of Video Marketing". It's been said that the human brain can process images 60,000 times faster than it does text. And why would you want to overwhelm your family, friends or customers with a bunch of jargon anyways? For instance, would you rather read through those instructions that came with your Smashbox Contour Kit or watch a one-minute lesson by your favourite beauty blogger? While we still appreciate the value of photography and 140-character blurbs (not too sure if we can get away with absolutely no text juuuuust yet...), you've heard it before and you'll hear it from us... short-form social and brand videos are where it's at!

DESERT REFLECTIONS
It’s been a while since I’ve posted something and that was one thing I promised myself I wouldn’t let slip. Ah well, life happens. But I’ve been working with some amazing women lately and it just so happens that a few of them were vacationing in the same place that I was last week… in Palm Desert.

VIOLET BOUTIQUE
As some of you may already know, I work 1 - 2 days a week at Vancouver's loveliest store, [Violet Boutique][1]. It's a dangerous little place - a place that I sought out to rely on consistent income, and yet my cheque seems to go back into the store quite regularly.

It was such a pleasure working with Doctors of BC and their Insurance Team. Rather than providing the typical "Lunch & Learn", my friend proposed a 1-2 minute film as a way to showcase their department's services. As someone who has worked in the medical field, I appreciate their approach in protecting what matters most to their members. Thank you for this amazing opportunity, Doctors of BC!

Furrrr-earce.
A common fall/winter fashion trend that has taken me a while to grasp is... the fur vest. Because I tend to be a bit heavier in my mid-section, I have never found a vest that looked, well, flattering. The nice thing about them, however, is that they can be paired with almost anything and worn any season.

Whistler in October
I mistakenly made the assumption that October was a bit of an odd month to visit Whistler. You know, not warm enough to enjoy the lakeside views... nor cold enough to rip it up down the mountain. Yet, October has got to be the most perfect month.

Summer to Fall
It's hard to believe that the first day of fall has already come and gone. It had been the most unbelievable summer and the sun is STILL shining! That's what I love about the west coast… the weather is so unpredictable.

The blanket scarf
I was fortunate enough to stumble across this scarf (i.e. blanket) in the Athens airport as I was waiting for my flight to return home (can I get a hallelujah for airports with reasonable shopping?).
