La Canadienne

 As a proud Canadian (I used to sing Oh Canada at Hockey games. No big deal ;)), I love discovering Canadian based companies. La Canadienne is based out of Montreal and their goal was "to create comfortable, versatile boots that would offer unbeatable protection against the cold, wet Canadian climate". Uhm yes please! It pains me to say this but Fall is quickly approaching so I thought I would pass along some images from their fall look book in case you're in the market this fall for a pair of boots that won't leak and leave you with wet socks all the time. Can you sense I'm a little bitter from last winter?






The "Uber-Cool" Motorcycle boot is my favourite for sure. Unfortunately they aren't in my budget right now but I'm keeping them on my radar as Fall approaches. La Canadienne shoes start at about $200 but I know my readers have budgets of all sizes. They also have a gorgeous line of handbags that I have been drooling over.

Now let's stop thinking about fall and get back to enjoying the 5 minutes of summer that Vancouver has to offer!

It's Almost Like a Party

I was putting away some laundry yesterday and I ran across a pair of my jeans. Oh right! I used to wear pants. Not this summer though. This summer has been a skirts and shorts kind of summer. No pants allowed. Just think of it as a clothed, pants off party... and who doesn't like a party?

I'm Back!

I'm baaaaaack! It's been a week since I last saw you and I'm a week older but none the wiser. Why do I say that you ask? Well, it's because in the middle of a hot Vancouver summer, I chose to style outfit around a piece of outerwear. Not the wisest decision ever but in the few minutes before I became a big ol' sweaty mess I really did love this outfit. I guess I should just enjoy this gorgeous weather and stop whining about the fact that it prevents me from wearing my beloved blazers. You won this round mother nature. Keep up the good work.
