a Zip trekking we go!

We went zip trekking in Whistler, British Columbia last week. It was Awesome. We had two funny little guides on a private tour (no one else signed up for the 8am trek).

one of the zip line treks. 200 feet above the river. whistler one side, black comb the other

there he goes. bye bye. 

watch out...there are 80 bears in these ol' forest parts.
Did you know Bears' bodies self terminate their pregnancy if they don't have enough food for the winter stored up? CRAZY. Thanks for the nature info Guide Dylan. 

back down to whistler village. 7 zip lines later.

I tried to upload a video of me whipping through the trees, 200 feet above the river going from Blackcomb mountain to Whistler...alas blogger didn't let me, or I just don't have the patience to wait 35 minutes while it uploads a video. Try checking out my Facebook page for the video. It was wild.  

New Line coming out in May...

I started working away again out here. Latest inspiration for the summer is the First Nations jewellery. I found a raven, hand painted piece on the street yesterday from a man who hand carved it. It is so beautiful and is going to be stunning. Can't wait to show you all. Mixed in with a little dream catcher and feathers, paired with a crocheted top or vest and flowy skirt. That's how I Hattified my summer wardrobe. Ah is it summer yet? 

We are up in Whistler all week, so quite the change of weather! Whistler was AMAZING. Snow tubing, Snow boarding and zip lining through the sunny, snowy mountains, I've never experienced anything like it. Stay tuned for a vide of me flying down the mountain in a harness on a cable zip line. Unreal exciting.

mountain nomad

There has been nothing like Whistler, in these whole 3 months on the west coast. Snow tubing yesterday, Boarding today, zip lining tomorrow... mountain gazing for the rest of my life.

Will post more photos when I'm back in Vancouver. 

Whistler is now one of my favourite places...if not my most favourite place in Canada, with a close tie for first place, in the world. :) 

Maybe I should just become a mountain nomad for the rest of my years. I don't even mind the snow when it's like that...on a mountain top surrounded by more and more and more mountains. 

Have a great rest of the week

How this outfit came to be Hattified: This dress was screaming Spring. Since I'm in Whistler this week, I wanted to wear Spring one last time last weekend before I went in to winter wonderland. The dress wasn't enough, (I know right...one would think it was) so I added some patterned neutral tights.

Why this outfit works: It has the rule of three, three patterns. The one necklace has flower pattern in it, as well as the dress, which is quite bright, with neutral leopard print tights. It was a bit chilly, I tried a patterned sweater over top, but with the dress being really wild, I went with a plain mustard sweater over top. I threw on the second necklace to give it the third pattern. 

Another Version: Wear this dress with black tights, a black skinny belt, with a black blazer, with only one Hattitude necklace. 

My friend Carly from back home in Ontario came to Vancouver for a visit. It was so much fun having her here. We really did up the city and made her walk, walk, walk. We went to Whyte cliff park, which was absolutely stunning. It was almost unreal to see. I'll post photos when I'm back from Whistler. 

Tomorrow is a guest post from Ana. A cute spunky girl from California that I met through the online blogging community. Check back tomorrow and see her post.
