Last year December I had the fantastic opportunity to enroll in a short course at Central Saint Martins in London, England. Never did I imagine that I would ever be able to walk the halls once graced by the likes of Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. The short course was for styling and below are the photos from our final project.

Our project was to conceptualize and plan an editorial photo shoot with our own clothing. Crazy, right? The story we ended up creating was that of a posh London girl meeting and falling for a Camden Town bad boy. I can’t express just how pleased I was with the end result. To my new friends Marco and Virginia from Italy and Juliana from Rio de Janeiro; it was a pleasure getting to work with all of you!

Can you guess which pieces belonged to Marco?

Accidental finds are my favorite purchases. I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for the next Beggars Banquet.

I feel like I have been in a winter rut with my wardrobe. Lots of grey, white and black. Thanks to spring finally blooming in my city (and a serendipitous work trip to Miami), my eyes have readjusted for bright, beautiful color.A trend I am currently loving is colored denim. It’s easy to wear and thanks to its popularity, available in almost any store and at accessible price points. I surprised even myself by choosing pale pink. What color denim are you loving for spring?

Local Miami color

GARAGE pink denim / Talula Babaton wool coat

My recent outfit choices have been very dark and monochromatic. A symptom of Vancouver weather? I think so.

This morning I was lucky enough to encounter some sunshine on my short walk to work. It was bright. It felt kind of warm. It needs to stay.
