This past week through my phone:

grilled cheese at PHAT
rainy day at Science World
jellyfish at Vancouver Aquarium
lunch break at Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden
ratty Chuck Taylors, worn out BDG jeans, stained H&M tee, comfy Joe Fresh flannel >> slobby Thursday at the office

salvage.

My apologies for being away for so long. Things I have been occupied with: enjoying the great summer we had in Vancouver, shopping, seeing these boys again, shopping, and more shopping. I have also been busy with work and organizing this upcoming event:

Have you embraced the rebirth of neon?

Admittedly, I have some reservations about the pants. I'd probably have to do some crazy seven-days-a-week pilates again to have model-esque legs for those. Oh, and, you know... magically grow seven inches. Even Hermione Granger couldn't assist me in that department.
