Fashion`s Night Out Vancouver

 Top: Vintage. Pants: Gap. Pumps & Necklace: Banana Republic

Getting ready for Vancouver's Fashion`s Night Out was a two step process. Step 1: Get dressed. Step 2: Take as much cold medicine as possible and drink as much coffee as my body could handle. Who knew a cold could kick your butt for so many days! 

Luckily, this event was worth pushing through the last stages of this cold for. Held at Earl`s V Lounge in Yaletown, Fashion`s Night Out was in support of Out in Schools, an amazing organization that raises  awareness about homophobia and bullying.

The fashion show was to present the latest Spring collections from The Bay's White Space. There were some stunning pieces that make me really excited for Spring!

The night was such a success! Niki, Erin, Raul and Ashley did such a great job. It was also really nice to see (and meet) some of my favourite Vancouver bloggers!

If you weren`t able to attend this event, you can still donate to Out in Schools by visiting their website.

No no, it's not snowing in Vancouver. It's actually surprisingly sunny and gorgeous today. These pictures are from the last snow fall we had. I found them on my desktop while I was having a mini meltdown because I still feel too weak and sick to enjoy the lovely weather outside. Whine whine whine.

Walking in the cold with wet hair... isn't that something our mothers teach us not to do when we are like 5 years old? Oh well, it took 23 years longer than the other kids but I think I've learned my lesson!

Coconut S'mores

Apparently that mild stomach bug that attacked me a few weeks back was just my body's way of telling me that my immune system was on vacation and I was about to get ambushed with the worlds worst cold.

I've been bed ridden for days and yesterday was the first day I kind of had my appetite back. Do you know what I woke up craving? A coconut cupcake. While I'm admittedly a sugar addict, I didn't have enough energy to sit up in bed let alone go buy a cupcake.

Today I was still craving that stupid cupcake but still didn't have enough energy to get to the cupcake shop. Luckily I ended up remembering a little 'dessert snack' recipe that I came up with a while ago that satisfied the craving and required very little energy on my part (and is much easier on the waistline than the cupcake). And, since I obviously have no style related photos to show you, I thought I would share this quick recipe with you.

For those of you who think of this as more of a style blog and have no interest in seeing two recipe posts in a row... I'm sorry. Right now I'm wearing a grey Nike hoodie and black Champion sweatpants, hopefully that inspires you ;)

There are only three ingredients needed for this snack (or you can call it dessert) so it's super easy. Normally I just throw the toppings on, but I thought I'd measure it out this time so I could let you know the calories in this, for anyone who cares. In other words, don't feel obligated to measure anything if you don't want to!

Coconut S'mores

What you'll need (makes 2 servings... or one depending on how hungry you are!)

4 Graham Crackers

2 Tbsp Frozen Cool Whip (Softened)

1 Tbsp Coconut.

Top each Graham Cracker with 1/2 Tbsp Cool Whip and then sprinkle 1/4 Tbsp of Coconut on top.

That is it! Occasionally I would add little bits of chocolate to it but I couldn't taste it enough so it wasn't worth it.

Calories: For 2 s'mores - 86.5

I'm hoping I'll have my energy back tomorrow so I can get back to my style posts. Hope you had a nice weekend. xo
