To Do

I still can't believe Christmas is so close. I have a huge list of Christmas activities that I want to complete but I can't seem to find time for any of them. The only thing I've had time for is eating sugar cookies and crying over my lack of will power. Just kidding, I don't cry, I just eat more cookies to mask those negative feeling. 'Tis the season! No but seriously, I really don't understand how I can never find time to complete any task on my to-do list but can always find time to sit and play around on pinterest for hours. I thought I might need to re-calibrate my priorities but then I realized all I needed was a new to-do list.

Not to brag but I checked every single one of those tasks off that list.

The problem with me blogging in the morning is that my brain is mush. I used to be a morning person but now I am a sleep as late as possible and then spend 2 hours enjoying my coffee person. Let's just say my mornings aren't nearly as productive as they used to be. So right now, all I want to talk about is caffeine and maybe toast... because I'm also hungry.

Vancouver has such an amazing fashion community and the Vancouver Fashion Showcase did an outstanding job at showcasing it. They partnered with Dress for Success to put together a spectacular weekend of parties and shopping. I attended the opening gala at the art gallery where 30 top fashion retailers were featured in one of the most upbeat and unique fashion shows I’ve ever seen. It started off with a Michael Jackson impersonator and featured other dancers throughout. So much fun.

Cara, who has a gown collection that would put Kate Middleton’s to shame, was my date and we enjoyed some wine, oogled over a gorgeous display of Stella & Dot jewelry and tasted some delicious cake. And of course, we chatted with some of Vancouver’s most fashionable people.
