Last summer, my family and I had the opportunity to go to Vancouver for my cousin's wedding and it was then that I realized it was possible to fall in love with a city over the span of only 8 days. There's something about bringing the entirety of one side of my family from Winnipeg across the country to Vancouver that filled me with so much excitement. It was the first time we'd all travelled somewhere together and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. From the amazing restaurants to spending time with my cousins that I had last seen when I was only 6, I can confidently say I love Vancouver.

If there's one thing this city has, it's the views. From the plane to the airbnb we stayed at, you know you've left the prairies when all you see are these beautiful mountains capped with snow everywhere you look. I never used to understand how people could be so obsessed with having a view, until we went to a Superstore and the backdrop was mountains. Who wouldn't want to live in a city where their Superstore view is mountains? Also, our view from right outside our airbnb was the most amazing thing I could ever imagine waking up to. Just writing about this makes me miss our mornings there.

The food. Oh my god the food. The first thing we did when we got to Vancouver? We ate. You know how I said that food was another thing I spent most of my money on? Yeah. I love food. In the 8 days I was there, I never once had a bad meal. I was fortunate enough to be blessed with a Nandos, which made my 16 year old self oh so very happy, Captain's Boil, which we have in Winnipeg now, and Japadog not only once, but twice in the time we were there. If there were three places I could recommend to try out it would be those, and I'm gonna stop talking about food now because I'm simultaneously now starving and drooling at the same time.

Happy New Year loves! Another year on this blog has come and gone and I feel like we need a little refresher.

I began this blog because I am passionate about two things: writing and fashion. Up until this point, you guys have seen the the deep philosophical part of me, because I know we're all people, we all go through shit, and I want to be the person that brings that to light and assures you that it's all going to be okay. That, and 2017 was the year of the most growth and learning I've had in a long time. But I thought that it would be time to bring you the fashion aspect of me, because if you know me, you know that all I spend my money on is clothes (and food, but that's besides the point).


As much as I may be studious, there's a creative side of me that becomes suppressed and it tends to come out in the form of how I dress, and when I write. Styling clothes, and putting together outfits to me is a form of art, and the satisfaction of pulling together a coordinated outfit that simultaneously looks bomb brings me happiness like nothing else. It makes me feel confident, and I know that even if I look like Steve Jobs (black turtlenecks are my signature), the click of the heels on my chelsea boots while I walk is all I need to feel like a badass mofo.

In this mini shoot, nothing I'm wearing is my own mostly because I showed up in a chunky sweater and leggings, so my lady had to rescue me and we swapped outfits (she dresses so well though, I'm so lucky). Her outfit on me consists of a white blouse with an abstract print of faces, washed black Levi's, and on my feet which you can't see I wore black perforated leather Vans. As accessories, over my shoulders is a coat from F21 and the glasses are from Urban Outfitters.

This post is one of many fashion posts considering one thing I take most pride in is how I dress, and hopefully some of you can take inspiration from it as well. If you like how I write though, that'll never go away, I have deep thoughts and borderline existential crisis' almost everyday (too much?)
