While I generally love shopping of any kind (grocery shopping makes you giddy too right?) I am not a huge fan of car shopping. I am getting a new car at the end of March and I'm dreading the whole process. Mostly because I get distracted by shiny things and I think most car dealerships sense that.

"This car is missing tires. That's okay, put a pretty air freshener in it and she won't notice." Sigh. 

Now I'm sure you all think I'm looking for tips on car shopping and which cars to look at, but fortunately for you I will only be picking from a few cars so no need to give me suggestions.  What I'm looking for advice on is the important part of the car... What color should I get? I'm thinking black.

Crate & Barrel celebrated the opening of their brand new CB2 store Friday night on Robson Street. Drinks were flowing, delicious appy's and desserts were being passed around and I chatted with some of my favourite Vancouverites. I did do a little bit of shopping (half of my family has their birthdays in March) but it was so crowded in there that I couldn't see most of what the trendy furniture store had to offer.

I'll have to go back in the next few weeks because I spotted an amazing lamp and some adorable dishes I might have to pick up. I'm not sure if it'll be as enjoyable to shop without cream puffs from La Brasserie but oh well, I usually have a baked good or two in my purse.

Interested in reading more about the event? Rick Chung & Randa have CB2 blog posts up as well!

On Repeat

I'm often made fun of because of how I listen to music. I find a song I love and listen to it on repeat until I'm sick of it and by then I've discovered a new song that I love more. Most people like to have hundreds of songs on their ipods but I'd be happy with 5. I may or may not have 15 mixed cds that have the same 5 songs on them and then a few others for good measure sitting in my glove box. Knowing this about me, I guess I can't be too surprised about how I've been wearing coats lately. First I was wearing my blue Zara coat non stop. Then the weather warmed up a bit and I discovered my green blazer. Now my new Joe Fresh trench is my go-to jacket. I bought it a size too big so I could layer under it and it's been the perfect outer layer against the rain.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to Adele's Set Fire to the Rain and hug my trench coat.
