leather jacket bomber babe



Shirt: thrifted (Victoria, BC)
Pants: Urban Outfitters
Scarf: Thrifted
Purse: Thrifted (Bolton, ON)
Leather jacket: boys section thrifted (Victoria, BC)
Bracelets and Necklace: My own designs, You've Got Hattitude Jewellery. Check it out by clicking here 

I bought this jacket in Victoria last weekend. Juan De Fuca is a Park in Victoria, British Columbia. Graham is one of my Scottish family names. Win Win. I love finding vintage things that have a history and a special meaning to me. Much like my Jewellery, I try to find a unique story or at least imagine a special case for every piece I get. I take one of a kind vintage, antique and old pieces of jewellery and turn them in to new again. I like to create keeping in mind the history of each peice. 

If you want to get jiggy with it, or just look as rad as me with some wild new jewels, you can check out my jewellery website and by clicking here.

that time I went to Victoria...

A beach we drove an hour 1/2 to get to, to go surfing
beautiful drift wood, with bull kelp seaweed
victoria...stunning

'underground' surfing competition in China Beach
I chickened out going surfing (on the account that I did not want to get hyperthermia)...maybe i'll try again in Tofino. This is Tristan and John getting ready to ride some waves, wild styles. 
dog fights 24/7 on this China Beach, surfing competition commences. We felt out of place...dogless. Everyone had a puppy. Where's Beau when you need her eh? ha
some of the surfer dudes and dudettes 
the hostel we stayed at. Really funky decorated and clean inside...the inhabitants inside not so much. 
yes...that is sprouts and flowers. Spring is here. 
I liked this couple sitting in the grass in front of this magnificent church. Where's waldo? Romance at it's finest. 
cat. i miss BeauBeau.
