Tomorrow I’m heading out of town for a fun weekend away with the girls! It’s one of my girlfriend’s stags so we’re renting a house in the Okanagan at a vineyard. It should be a fun weekend of wine, food, and friends.
See you all next week! Have a great long weekend:)

Maison Scotch has become one of my favorite brands! I adore the ease of their pieces. The line is casual but chic. I love Maison Scotch for my casual weekend wear and Summer time dresses for backyard BBQ’s. For my upcoming weekend away with the girls, I have the perfect wine label tank from MS to wear on our wine tour. Get inspired!
Shop like me! For my local Vancouver peeps, you can find Maison Scotch at The Urban Rack and Hills of Kerrisdale.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of viewing Canadian designer, Cassie Dee‘s Fall/Winter 2012 Collection. Her inspiration came from the anticipation of Rebecca Serle’s “When You Were Mine”, the spin-off to the story of Romeo and Juliet, told from the perspective of Rosaline.
The collection was full of bold colour, impeccable tailoring, and was designed with a strong woman in mind. A adored the colour palette of mustard yellow, rich burgundy, royal blue, red, with black and white.
I liked the element of leather throughout the collection. The looks were feminine with an edge. This is a style of dress I personally love. It’s modern and sexy.
The presentation was lovely. It was like a moving art installation. While we and the models moved throughout the room, a cellist, wearing a Cassie Dee creation and playing classical music. Classical music, bold colour, Romeo and Juliet, and beautiful designs made for a fantastic Fall/Winter Preview.
