Hair Envy

I love this ladies haircut and colour, it makes me want to cut my hair, just a little.
But every time i cut my hair I regret it. What do you think should I take the plunge and get a little trim?


Gift Box

This great idea was original posted on the kitchen  for a new Mom gift box but I think it would be great for any occasion, a friend who is run off her feet, someone who needs a night off from the kitchen or just a friday night get together. You could customize it for any meal, change the tacos for soup and add in some cheese and a loaf of french bread and then switch out the 6 pack of beer for a bottle of wine, really anything at all would work but don't forget the flowers its a perfect touch.
How would you make a foodie gift box for a friend in need?

High Tea


I love a good afternoon tea and we have a few spots here in Vancouver that do it  up right. 
Urban Tea is located downtown Vancouver and has several options to choose from, my favourite would be the Champagne Signature Tea of course.

 Classic Signature Tea Service includes an aperitif, a full range of tea sandwiches, petite sweets, their famous warm scone with signature crème & jam. 
Accompanied with a choice of:
a glass of Tea-Infused Prosseco for $62 per person OR
a glass of Veuve Clicquot for $72 per person.
And you get a gift, 50g of a Sommelier's choice of TWG Tea.



Pin Up Girls


Before and After 
I was surprised to see even these pin up girls have been altered to enhance their figures. 
Is it so surprising that we photoshop models and stars on magazine covers today?

Style File

I love this Brigitte stretch-denim shirt dress from Tory Burch, the faded colours are perfect.
It looks soft and I love the long sleeves, even for summer I'm one of those people who always seem to be cold.

You can get it here at Net A Porter

First Day of Spring


The Cherry Blossoms will be out soon and I feel change in the air.
Evening walks, bike rides sunny BBQ's and warm warm weather is on it's way.

Candy Tables for Wedding Receptions

My niece is getting married this summer and we are just starting some research on candy tables. I think they all look super creative and love the multi coloured tables. The black and white table also looks super elegant!

Weekend Wanderings

I hope everyone had a great weekend filled with lots of relaxing things to do.
For me Saturday was filled with errands but I did meet my husband for lunch and that made my day so everything else was a breeze.
One of the things we did over the weekend was stop in at the Vancouver Aquarium. 
My hubby has never been and he was mesmerized by all the information and fish fish fish. 
It was a busy place to visit since its spring break and on the weekend the place was filled with kids and families. I took these pictures along with everyone else who passed by but wow its so amazing how beautiful they are and the contrast of the blue and orange are a photographers dream.
What did you do over the weekend?
If you ever get a chance to visit the Aquarium I highly recommend it especially for school age kids?
