Keep Calm and Carry On Shopping
Whilst vacationing in London, one thing everyone does, and I really mean everyone, is to ‘shop’. Since there is not a lack of them around I compiled a few sweeties for you all to indulge.
I had to add the Birkenstock shop since it is very relevant to the kind of lifestyle we have here in Vancouver, but these are not just your run of the mill Birkies. Last but not least the beautiful shop of Lomography with all those funky cameras, it was more like a candy store than a camera shop.
From top to bottom: Lomography Camera Shop, Lamuete Boutique, Vivienne Westwood’s Original Shop, Leghilā, Birkenstock Flagship Store

Spotted – London & NYC
A pot pouri of London and New York fashion week, a little ‘pick me up’ from all the dark and dreary days of winter, a hint for all of us Lululemon lovers that there is no excuse not to look good and here is the inspiration…

Iran 1970s
This maybe super random, but it is a cultural ‘find’. One that takes us to the past, the past that I would like to remember and reminisce about. I found this short film on one of my favourite online shops, so I would like to share it with you.
In the 1970’s, a petroleum pipeline firm commissioned french film-director Claude Lelouch to make Iran (1971) as a gift for the Shah’s wife. He apparently shot six miles of film in order to make the film, which is an incredible example of juxtapositional editing. The score was composed by Francis Lai. – Courtesy of Creatures of Comfort
Uptown Girl
I wish I could tell you; today I went on a desparte shopping adventure to find some great deals but that adventure is everyday! So when I found this lambswool angora turban at Aritzia for a mere $10. I bought it in every color! I guess not everyone can wear it but with a bit of confidence and will for experimentation, it really completes your outfit in a very fresh and unexpected way. Then the jumpsuit, (double trouble) the fact is jumpsuits are another obsession of mine and by Vanessa Bruno! Now that is a deadly duo for anyone with a passion for fashion… Last but not least my much coveted neon Cambridge bag, believe me,”Once you carry this arm candy, you won’t be a wall flower any longer.
