There are no palm trees at the Commodore

And it’s not 100 degrees in Vancouver, either. Shocking, I know.

But in my mind The Temper Trap’s set (at the Commodore the other night) kept bringing me back to sunnier, sweatier times.

Because the last time I saw the Australian supergroup we were in the middle of the California desert at Coachella.

In other words, a far [...]

Madama Butterfly, the memoirs of a geisha

What a way to end the season. Vancouver Opera’s take on Puccini’s classic Madama Butterfly is beautiful and brilliant, not to mention, brightly coloured. And I was there to blog all about it (nerd alert!).

Before taking our seats, opera bloggers John, Gus, Stacey and I had a backstage tour. We weren’t allowed to touch (or twirl) these [...]

This time around

Is the name of a beautiful song off Radio Dept.’s latest album.

And it is the perfect title for this post.

Because this skirt is, if you ask me, much better this time around.

When I first scouted it as part of a twofer two piece, it looked like a garden threw up all over it.

But I find separating [...]

Met Roddy Doyle

And those of you who didn’t take literature in school ask: Who?

He’s the Irish author of The Commitments, The Woman Who Walked into Doors and now, The Dead Republic. And, if the reading I attended is any indication, he would make the coolest dinner guest ever.

Nerd that I am, I had him sign The Dead Republic. The unfortunate thing [...]

It’s a twofer

Your grade two teacher wore something very similar to this, didn’t she?

Long skirt, exceptionally shoulder-padded shirt — it’s a foolproof combination, isn’t it? So classic. So vintage.

My favourite thing about a twofer is that you can treat the separates as separates and wear them, well, separately.

All I needed to do with the blouse was remove [...]

Black on Black

I’m pretty sure Grace Coddington would approve of wearing it head-to-toe but, Anna Wintour most certainly would not (have you seen The September Issue?!?).

It doesn’t matter, though, because neither were in Vancouver last night. And neither were at the jam-packed first-anniversary party for JK Models at Leone.

It was so much fun to see such beautiful faces [...]

Went on a little road trip

to Steveston, which is — what would you guess — 20 minutes outside Vancouver?

And yet, it is an entirely different world.

You’ve been, right? Probably even eaten the fish ‘n chips at Pajos (if you haven’t yet, you’ve got to).

We walked for hours along the trails. And boy, did it feel good to stretch our legs.

And [...]

Gimme Gimme More! Gimme More! Gimme Gimme More!

Sound familiar? It’s Britney Spears. And it’s also many of you.

Because after I posted a few teaser shots of the vintage wedding dress transformation, y’all were hollering for more. And who am I to deny you?

Here’s a refresher: I found this late 50s/early 60s dress at a thrift store and I had to have it. (I [...]
