Look of the Week: Casual Sunday Style

Sunday is the weekend day you want to get out and enjoy yourself once all the errands have been run. Whether it's coffee with a friend, or a casual walk through town, you want to look your best. The key to weekend-wear is to be comfortably fashionable, and a great piece to help you look the part is a maxi dress/skirt. A word about this particular skirt: I'm generally considered of average height, which is not ideal for a skirt like this because it doesn't exactly elongate the legs. My quick fix? Nude heels! Next, pick out a slouchy sweater or sweatshirt to keep the look casual, and add some dramatic sunglasses and statement jewelry to amp up the glam. Now, I know it's not Sunday today, so you can make your outfit do double-duty and make it work for your study-wear as well! You can check out my original study-wear inspiration from last year too.

Queen Elizabeth Park made for a fantastic shoot on one particularly beautiful day last week. We teamed up with friend and Pin Up/burlesque dancer Lottie Libido to take some casual Spring photos. The fountain made for a very amusing backdrop- you can see some of our outtakes on the Vancouver Vogue Facebook Page!

Vancouver Blogger Clothing Sale

If you follow me on twitter, you should already know about the Vancouver Blogger Clothing Sale which happened at the Waldorf Hotel this past Saturday. A handful of Vancouver's fashion bloggers were there, including Coco and Vera, To Vogue or Bust, Her Waise Choice, Nina on the Moon, Alison Elle, The Unprecedented, The Doctors Closet, Miss Melissa, Alicia Fashionista, Angela Matina, Prairie Girl in the City, Style Struck, and Glitter in my Viens.

It was an amazing sight to see so many incredibly fashionable girls lined up around the block to get in! The event went off without a hitch, and me and my photographer/bestie were there just in time to be one of the first 50 people in line! This means we were the lucky recipients of some awesome swag bags! There were all kinds of discount codes and coupons in there, and even a lovely set of bracelets courtesy of the adorable Vancouver shop Barefoot Contessa!

Once inside, I could felt anxiety like I was about to go Boxing Day shopping. So many clothes, so many new people to meet! And all for super cheap! But we took our time and moved from table to table, and browsed the great selection of pieces. I found four new items to clothes to add to my closet, which I am very excited to style here on my blog over the next little while!The first was an adorable sky blue polka dot dress for summer, as well as a royal blue skirt with a skinny gold belt: both from the cloest of Cee of Coco and Vera. I love her classic style and these pieces will fit perfectly into my wardrobe. I also picked up a gorgeous full black skirt from Alicia Fashionista and a cute shirt to match from To Vogue or Bust!

It was so exciting to finally meet the girls behind the blogs I've been following- and they were just as stylish and lovely in person as they are on their blogs! All in all, the sale was a great success. Here's some photos we took from the event:
