Banana Republic x Vitamin Daily Event

Nov 292011

Surprise, surprise, yes….I went to another event! Tis the season. DJ Ana spun (do people still say that? or am I aging myself?), anyway…and I did some Christmas shopping. Okay fine, one leopard print crop cardi did make it’s way home with me, but all other purchases were gifts.

Here I am telling Anya (I’m the It Girl) from Vitamin Daily, what I’m sure is the most hilarious story. Can’t you tell? Next photo is Lisa from Tait PR enjoying the musical stylings of DJ Ana and finally the stunning Kelsey (The Anthology) also from Vitamin Daily.

Champagne and mini cupcakes made their way around the room to refuel the shoppers. One lucky gal won a $500 shopping spree. Sadly that gal wasn’t me, but what an amazing gift to win!

I was in love with all the luxe looking pieces Banana had. Rich velvet dresses, sequined tops, and pretty jeweled clutches. There were tons of cute festive pieces to give a little sparkle to your wardrobe for any upcoming holiday soirees you may have.

So happy with my fun gift with purchase swag bag. I received a Banana Republic fragrance, Essie nail polish, and a Beauty Mark gift card with some sweet treats. The Beauty Mark crew was there to touch up make up and paint up your nails. A great way to test out some new products.

Forever 21 has become one of my favorite haunts for fun accessories. When it comes to stacks of bangles and of the moment statement necklaces, this is my to go store. I grab one of the very handy little shopping baskets and load up on cocktail rings, feathered necklaces, and bangles galore! The prices are amazing!

The other day I left with a large beaded bangle, a feathered bib necklace, and a stack of turquoise and gold bangles all for under $20…total! Love that.

Here’s a peek at a few of my fave pieces…and yes, I own a couple of them:-)

Denmark label Inwear, is a line I have been wearing and selling for many years now. I love their great mix of fashion forward pieces and basics. They are fantastic for fit and quality. I am currently coveting this super cute little dress…

With hot weather on it’s way, I’ve started doing inventory on my t-shirt and tank top collection.

While yes, I do seem to have enough to get me through the summer, I can’t help but add a few of these casual pretty tops to my wardrobe. Here are a few of my faves.

I bought this stripe tank last week….LOVE these colors!

All these pieces are available at The Urban Rack in Kits.

PS: I’m currently 3rd and have fallen a little behind in the voting for Best Fashion Blog in Vancouver’s inaugural Culture Conference Awards. Please help me to catch up by Voting for Prairie Girl in the City. Thank-you very much. XOXO

Thursday turned out to be yet another rainy day in Vancouver. But fear not! Rumour is, we can be expecting some warm sunny days very soon.

Rainy mornings in June, prove to be a bit of a styling challenge…but Mother Nature, challenge accepted. I find that simple white is the best way to brighten up my look. You can’t really get more classic than a white top paired with jeans. I’ll admit I needed a little retail therapy for my rainy-day-woes and picked up this Staple blouse just this week. These are the dangers of working in a store.

I love when you “find” things in your closet. I had forgot about these great silver star hoops I bought at Kitson down in L.A. It’s so satisfying it’s like shopping without spending money.

Blazer: Zara
Blouse: Staple from The Urban Rack
Jeans: Fidelity
Bag: Scoop Pop up Boutique
Sandals: Sam Edelman
Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: Kitson

I so wish I could wear heels all day long, but my back gets super angry. At least there are loads of cute little flats and sandals.

Happy Friday Stylistas!

Fashion Friday...It's Here! It's Here!

Today is the day the Anthropologie opens in Vancouver! Fashionistas province wide will be flooding the doors today and all weekend to be a part of the shopping mania. Here is what we can look forward to…

I first fell in love with the store in New York a few years ago. My sister and I found ourselves there about 3 times over our week stay in the Big Apple. We loved that there was something beautiful to look at everywhere we turned. I found boots, jewelry, a couple cardigans and the prettiest little dress.
