<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>Not sure about you, but the holidays were extremely indulgent with minimal exercise and a crazy amount of sugar. I mean after all, that's what it's all about, right?! Now that I'm back at work and things are slowly coming back to reality, I need to get my body in gear and back on routine. Here are some things that I do to make sure I'm back on track:</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Exercise is key.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This one I actually don't usually have a hard time with. I naturally love to workout, be outside and get a good sweat in. Even while on holidays, I tried to hike most mornings, made it to the gym once (I mean better than not at all, right?!) and skied. Now that things are back to normal, I aim to go to 3-4 spin classes per week, yoga 1-2 times a week and run once a week. My yoga classes are restorative as I think it's important to have rest days and stretching is so essential. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>2. You are what you eat.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sorry to break it to you - but it's true, everything you put in your mouth has an effect on your body, skin, hair, and overall energy levels. Now that the holidays are over I'm trying to limit my sugar intake and instead fuelling those cravings with natural sugars such as fruit. I find that if I don't have sweets stocked in my house, I won't eat them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>3. Make sure to get those zzz's.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While on holidays our sleep cycle naturally tends to change. Late nights and sleep ins can be amazing, but they can also throw us off. Being back at work and having a 6:00am wake up call isn't pretty when we're used to an 8:30am sleep in. Making sure I'm starting my bedtime routine early is key which means limiting my screen time, eating dinner earlier and hitting the hay at a decent hour is so important.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Cut out the booze.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ok this one is easier said than done. I'm trying to do "sober January" but so far (3 days in) I find it challenging and I may have already cheated. Oops. To make things a bit more realistic, I'm opting to not drink during the week, and instead indulge slightly on the weekends only. I immediately feel a difference in my skin and feel way more hydrated and rejuvenated. </span></div>

As the long weekend is fast approaching, I can hardly keep still knowing that it will be spent at our new cottage on Bowen Island. This past weekend was the moving weekend - literally loaded up the U-Haul to the brim with mattresses, bad frames, tables, chairs - you name it. As tiring and sore as it was hauling each item down (and up) the stairs, I could finally feel it all coming together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people may think I'm crazy that I will be spending the majority of the long weekend unpacking and setting up the new cottage - but to me, that is pure heaven. I love transforming blank canvases into something incredible. Being able to add a piece of furniture, or just the perfect pillow to a room can make a real difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bowen is never going to replace our cabin on Shawnigan Lake. However, it will be a close little getaway where I will bring my girlfriends for the weekend, or just go solo to get away from the craziness of the city. As soon as I hop on that ferry and leave the mainland, my body all of a sudden relaxes and knows that a few days of rest is waiting ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few inspo pics of the transformation process & what I hope the new cabin will look like...</div>

I still can't get over the fact that Christmas is less than two weeks away. Of course, I have still yet to purchase any of my Christmas presents, nor have sent out any Christmas cards. I always think that I will have ample time to get things done, but in reality (I should really have learnt this by now), Christmas always comes way faster than expected. Note to self: start early. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides the hustle and bustle and lack of sleep, Christmas time is always a favorite time of the year for me. Even though I'm 26 years old and live on my own, I still treasure this time of year to spend with family and follow our holiday traditions. Here are a few things that I will be doing over the holiday season, and what I look forward to each Christmas:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Spending time with family & friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Mom's holiday baking </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Opening presents in our PJ's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Mom's homemade cinnamon buns on Chirstmas morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Picking out our real Christmas tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Christmas lights at the Capilano Suspension Bridge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Drinks at The Wedgewood Hotel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Gingerbread houses at The Hyatt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Crantinis! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Finding that perfect gift </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I wait all year for this moment...a couple of days before I head to the lake with my family. Shawnigan Lake has been my summer home since I was born. My mom's dad bought the cabin when she was just 12 years old. It has stayed in the family ever since and I cannot thank my grandparents enough for making the best business decision ever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the next 10 days, I plan to go for long runs followed by a refreshing swim in the lake, coffee and a pastry at Oma's bakery, some waterskiing, and curling up in front of the fire with a good book. Let's just hope these next few days don't fly by...</div>

This post definitely matches the title of my blog. I have been actively searching for a place to live for the past two months and have been unsuccessful. Prices in Vancouver are astronomical, and finding a place that is in a good location, is clean, has a good landlord, etc is very difficult to come across. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the past three weeks, I thought I had found the place of my dreams. It was a laneway house located 1.5 blocks from where I currently live. It was brand spanking new and so so so beautiful. I even managed to get the owners to come down in price, but I waited too long to decide, and someone else snatched it up. I was heartbroken. I had started picturing myself living there, thinking about what pieces of furniture I may purchase...until POOF it was gone before my eyes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I agree, I have very champagne taste. I have always liked nice things. Especially when it comes to finding a place to live, I feel as though I can't really lower my expectations. Living in a hole and paying $1500 per month in rent just aint going to cut it. So, I am continuing this painful search and just hope *fingers crossed* that something beautiful pops up - or maybe the person who took the laneway might just back out ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little inspiration of what I envision my place looking like: </div>

We've been pretty lucky this past month with the weather we've been getting. Compared to the rest of the country, we have certainly lucked out. That being said, it has been easy to start dreaming about summer and what trends to follow when it comes to fashion. I have always been a firm believer in casual & comfy clothes when summer rolls around. I am all about them denim cut offs and loose, boho tops. So naturally, I have been planning some summer trips while work and school are filling up my time and allowing me to day dream about sunny skies and palm trees. </div>

With the weather slowly creeping up the thermometer, it's hard not to dream about the coming months. Don't get me wrong, winter is one of my favorite seasons. I love transitioning from fall to bundling up for the winter season. Celebrating Christmas with family and friends and jetting off somewhere warm if you are so lucky are all things I love about the winter months. BUT who doesn't get tired of the long, dark days and cold air that makes your skin crack? Let's just say I'm ready for a change. Below, I have listed a handful of items I am coveting for this coming spring season. </div>

With Christmas only less than 3 weeks away, the need to bundle up and find that perfect party dress is an essential. Vancouver however, seems to be a little late to the game. With temps reaching +14 here today, the Christmas season doesn't feel like it's even approaching. Therefore, finding the right (and appropriate) garments are needed during these weird weather days. Here are a few winter looks I came across and instantly fell in love with...</div>

Since chopping off my hair fairly short, I haven't been able to pull up my hair and simply tie it in a casual bun. Part of me regrets cutting my locks so short for this very reason. I always have to style it each morning to get that perfect, lob look. As much as I love the lob, I still dream of having long hair to do different things to it. I guess it's true...we always want what we can't have.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here are a few photos of some my fave bun looks:</div>

I can't believe we are well into the month of October already. Gone are the days of wearing your bathing suit as a staple, feeling as though the days never get dark & roasting marshmellows around the fire. As sad as that may be to say goodbye to all of those things for another year, I am just as excited to welcome a new season--one of my faves, actually. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I love about fall is the crisp air, when the leaves turn a vibrant yellow and orange, and when cozy knits are an essential. That transformation from airy summer dresses to layering on fabrics is something that has always made me feel good. Watching the iconic Paris, London & NY Fashion weeks are obviously part of why I love transitioning into fall. I mean, who wouldn't be excited?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on that note, here are a few of my fall inspirations...</div>

There's always something crazy about the way the summer months seem to slip by so fast each year. Perhaps it's because we enjoy every second of them or perhaps it's because especially here in Vancouver, we only really get a couple months of hot, nice weather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this morning when I woke up, I was surprised to hear the pitter-patter of rain against my window and groaned as I realized it was the first day back to school. As much as it is exciting to see everyone again and get taught new and interesting course subjects, it is still difficult to fathom after having enjoyed an incredible summer. </div>

It's something about the simplicity, femininity and vintageness that draws my attention to this stunning watch. I love how the trends are changing from clunky, mens inspired watches to a much more dainty look. </div>

So it's that time of the year that I look forward to the most. Not only is it summertime where the flowers are in full bloom, the days are longer, and I don't feel guilty constantly eating ice cream, but it is also time to head to the lake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Shawnigan Lake has been my little retreat every summer since I was born. My mom's father bought it when she was just ten years old. After he passed away 2 years later, my Nana had the option of selling the cabin or keeping it. She decided to keep it and drive up from Edmonton every summer and spend two weeks out of the year cleaning it and getting it ready for the next summer. I am so thankful she did what she did because I would not be who I am today without having shared so many memories there that I will never forget. So tomorrow is the day that we all pack into the car and head to the ferry terminal to start our journey to the best place on earth. I literally cannot wait. </div>

I know I usually do Trend Thursday posts, but I simply couldn't resist waiting a couple more days to post this. This summer, there's been a lot of <i>skort </i>spottings which I absolutely love. I remember the days when skorts were my go-to necessity. They simply became "uncool" and I'm so happy they've returned with a new edgy flare. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one caught my eye with its two-toned coolness. A perfect staple for a warm summer night paired with a basic white tee or tank and some strappy sandals. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This look is so effortless and very easy to master. Especially now when the weather isn't that warm yet, a simple and sophisticated sheer blouse fits the bill. By tucking in the blouse allows for a dressier look as opposed to having it untucked-a more laid-back, casual feel. Opt for minimalistic accessories such as a dainty necklace or cuff bracelet in order to maintain that "simplistic" look. </div>

A staple for this summer as well as a good transitioner into fall is a a denim shirt--and yes, for men. Because of the versatility of the shirt, it can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occation. I tend to prefer lighter denim as opposed to darker denim as it blends in well with other pieces and doesn't become camouflaged if paired with jeans. Worn under a suit jacket, over a tee or simply by itself, this shirt is a definite wardrobe essential for all you men out there. </div>

Here's a few things that excite me about the coming months...</div>

As usual, this weekend flew by and I was desperately in need of an extra day off. The only thing that got me out of bed this morning was the unusual silence outside instead of the normal pitter-patter of rain that we've been experiencing lately. Despite the sunny weather, it still hasn't warmed up which is why I opted for my usual black outfit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here was my inspiration for today's ensemble:</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Cropped Coat.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately I've been dreaming of finding the perfect cropped jacket. They can easily smarten up your look and pull it together in a matter of minutes. I can justify buying one now as a) most are on sale from the winter collection and b) are easy to transition into warmer spring weather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are a few essential details in my oh so perfect coat:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Zippers up the sleeves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Simple yet stunning hardware</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Able to wear done up or open</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few looks that I've been eyeing...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it is difficult to choose what to wear every single day of the work week. Especially when we are transitioning into a new season, this can be a bit daunting. That is why I've outlined a few work ready items for each day of the week that can work right now while the weather is not too chilly yet not summer weather either. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a super trendy look right now that can definitely work for the office--if paired with the right accessories. Because the pants are a bit 'out there', opt for a neutral blazer or a two-toned one like Olivia Palermo above. Make sure the pant is cropped and hits just above your ankle bone. </div>

Need to run out of the office to grab coffee or lunch with a client? Well this amazing number is perfect to throw on over your work blouse and into the cold weather. The length of it makes it super edgy and classy at the same time. It can be paired with tailored slacks or a pencil skirt with tights and heels. Because of the neutral colors, pair it with bright accessories like a red bag or plum colored pumps. </div>

This classic Banana Republic suit is retro with a twist. I would pair it with a leather burgundy skinny belt with some colored heels. Just because the suit may be classic and innocent, doesn't mean your accessories have to be. </div>

These accessories are essential when travelling on business trips or to various work related destinations. Flats are important to store in your bag if there's a lot of walking to do (ie running to catch your flight). Also, this trendy wallet crafted by Tiffany&Co is the perfect accessory for storing your essentials. </div>

Allowed to wear jeans on Friday? Great, but make sure they are still work appropriate. Opt for a darker wash and pair them with a boyfriend blazer and a tucked in blouse.

This coming Fall season, I am looking forward to updating my wardrobe. There's nothing more exciting than transitioning into the next season, switching the shorts for skinnies or vice versa. Here are a few looks that inspire me to wear once this beautiful summer weather comes to an end. </div>

This weekend was spent relaxing at my friend's lake cabin. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days and escape the craziness of the city. Seems nice when all is written on your to-do list is: sleep in, go paddle boarding, eat amazing meals & sun tan all day long. Tis the life. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Denim + Whites.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With summer in full force now, there's no excuse for you not to pull out that white summer dress from the back of your closet. Pairing it with a denim vest or jacket keeps the look casual and cool. Brown and gold accessories pair nicely with denim as they are not too clunky and heavy looking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TIP: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wear strappy brown heels or ankle booties for the evening and brown gladiator sandals for the daytime. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>Skirt & Tee</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This look never ceases to impress me. It is such an easy outfit to master, if done right. Perfect for so many different occations...running errands, dinner date, or a night out on the town. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TIP: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure the skirt is fitted while keeping the top nice and loose. Also, make sure the tee is long enough that it reaches your hips. Adding cool accessory colors ties the outfit together. </div>
