Tis The Season

Photobucket
Good Morning! It's Friday and I am ready for the weekend, I have an awesome Christmas gathering with my friends this Saturday and I am so excited. There's nothing better then getting together with awesome friends, eating great food, drinking and exchanging some gifts. I hope everyone else has some exciting plans for the weekend.
I really love getting dressed up for the holidays, there's something so fun about this time of year. This is something I wore out for a family gathering earlier in the week. Velvet is something perfect for the holidays, because it's cold as hell here and velvet is nice and warm. I paired it with some polka dot tights (which I quickly tore, of course), some high heels and my cozy fur stole. With Mr. Duke as my date I was set for an evening out

Also if anyone is stuck for last minute gift ideas you should definitely check out Blue Bird Bride which has all sorts of gorgeous jewellery and will arrive in time for Christmas too! My favorite piece is this bright yellow Bib Necklace, such a great colour! Check out their Facebook page too here to like it and when you check out you'll get 20% off with the code BLOG20

Grunge Girly

Photobucket
Good Morning Lovelies in Blogland, I hope your week is coming along nicely. I am sitting here on a very frosty wednesday morning (-16 degrees celcius) wishing I was still in rainy Vancouver. The snow is beautiful, and it's lovely to see sunshine, but the one thing I can't stant is cold. Oh well, guess I'll throw on 3 more sweaters and 2 more scarves and walk the dog.
I have such an obsession with backless/low back dresses and tops, I think it's way sexier than showing off cleavage. And I have to say since I got my (gnarly) back scar I love showing off my back even more. I have been wanted a red velvet dress for years now, never seeming to find the right one, colourwise or at my price point. When I saw this baby at Simons I knew this was it. It's like wearing cozy pj's covered in red wine....that last statement doesn't make much sense, but carry on.
When we hit up the Revolver Coffee shop in Gastown I spotted the awesome graffiti down the back alley and knew we had to get some shots back there. A crushed velvet dress, studded boots and back alley photography? Doesn't get more grunge than that
