time for a much needed update!

What I've been doing in the past few weeks...



Hiking up the Chief in Squamish
It was definitely a good challenge for someone like me who has not been active for quite some time. The top was breathtaking and made every aching step worthwhile in the end. Next up: Grouse Grind!



Celebrating Canada Day at Granville Island
My first time! The place was packed and very lively. The parade was fun and I enjoyed walking through the market.



Hanging out at Jericho Beach for V, M, and K's birthdays
Definitely a nice beach. We had access to the a private tennis club facility and made good use of their barbecque (thanks K!). We played some frisbee, beach volleyball, and soaked up a lot of sun.




Biking along the Seawall and enjoying some Fat Burger and fries afterwards
For me, this was the most enjoyable :) I'll never get sick of biking while enjoying the picturesque view of the water. Must and will do this again this summer!



As you can tell, I've been desperately trying to make the best of the gorgeous weather that we've been having in Vancouver. If you aren't doing the same, I advise you to start NOW. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget to load up on the SPF!

Long time no see

Don't you love it when you find new ways to wear your old clothes?

Well make note of some of these back-again trends for the Spring and Summer:




L: Denim jacket - You can even do denim-on-denim! As long as the pieces are not too similar in colour.

R: Lady-like small bag - Yup, it's time to downsize. Take out all the junk that you don't need. Wallet, phone, keys, lipgloss, and you should be out the door! Don't worry, your back will thank you :)



L: Flares - Yes they are back... but I still love my skinnies.

R: Maxi skirt
- This was popular for a short period of time back in 2001? I remember owning a denim maxi skirt back in grade 9 or 10. Don't ask me why.. lol. This time around, look for one in a lighter, flowier fabric.

A few of these items have been lost in the back of our closets for awhile now. Time to breathe life back into them once again :)
