The Happiness Book Says..

March 2nd, 2010

I found this little book called “Be Happy” in the sale box at the grocery store. It was too cute not to buy! And full of little quotes and tips to help you live a happy life. Corny – I know! But it made me smile :)

Sometimes we just need to lighten up!

Sunshine for Spring!

March 1st, 2010

Spring weather has surely rolled in and I’ve been Googling non-stop for outfit / colour palette inspiration for my March wardrobe. I’m thinking very muted, pastel colours and washed out jeans! These colours from A.P.C are definitely what I had in mind :)

I also went through Orla Kiely’s Spring 2010 Collection and absolutely loved the colours! Although they are a lot bolder than what I had in mind, they definitely scream Spring! Throughout the Winter my wardrobe was really dark, mostly within the navy blue spectrum – which became quite depressing after a certain point. So you can imagine how excited I am to start wearing all the lovely colours of the rainbow!

I am also searching for the perfect spring coat. Something light and pastel in colour. Perhaps with a removable hood. Got any suggestions?

Spirit of the Games

February 25th, 2010

Yes I am still alive! The spirit of the Olympic games has captured me and I’ve done nothing but walk around downtown Vancouver absorbing the chaos of national pride during the past couple of weeks. Which is a good thing because I’ve since lost 2 pounds from all the walking!

Two nights ago I watched the Ice Dancing finals and witnessed history in the making as Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir stood center stage and took the gold, the first for Canada in the Ice Dancing category. In moments like these, one can’t help but feel wonder and joy! It is also a moment so inspirational that I now want to be a figure skater! Last week after watching Alex Bilodeau win gold, I wanted to be a moguls skiier, but that has since changed! And perhaps this ice skating obsession won’t last long either, but as of right now I am set on purchasing a new pair of ice skates and hoping to hit the arena this weekend! :)

In the world of What I Wore, I haven’t been taking very many outfit photos because all I’ve been wearing for the past two weeks has been Team Canada apparel. It consists of a red & black toque, red sweater, red scarf, red mittens, jean skirt, black tights, black leg warmers and Converse shoes – the staple attire of Team Canada. And this may sound crazy but I am not the only one lurking the streets of Vancouer with this outfit! If you were to look down Robson Street, you would see a sea of red clothing! Whether it is an official Team Canada hockey jersey, or a Canadian flag hanging like a cape, everyone is wearing red! It’s quite surreal.

And this just in, Canada won 4 medals today! :)

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games

February 12th, 2010

The Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games starts tonight! I am super excited to watch the opening ceremonies, even though it’s only on TV! All week festivities have been happening around the city to boost excitement for the Games! Last Monday, I chased the Torch Relay around Surrey and today was the test run for the Surrey 2010 Celebration Site @ Holland Park! I even purchased the entire Team Canada wardrobe! :)

If you have some time tonight, wherever you live, make sure to catch the opening ceremonies!
