Off to Tofino

I am off to Tofino this morning with my family who are visiting from Ontario! 

I cannot wait to see Tofino and the cathedral forests. I have heard so much about these ginormous trees! 

In the meantime please excuse my lack of outfit posts. I promise i'll have some gems for you when I get back (my mama is here so we'll be shopping up a storm in kits, and Granville st.) 

Any suggestions for some lovely haunts I would love to hear them. 

I went to a book store that was having a closing sale. I scored a few fiction books, (finished half blood blues, and on to The origins of species)  and a couple DIY books. One was about salvaging antiques and refurbishing odds and ends (can't wait to delve into this one come the summer time with flea markets). The other book I got, which I cannot wait to get home to my fabric trunk and start creating from is a DIY fashion book. 

I love reading all the other blogs and seeing their 'do it yourself,' but it will be nice to have some ideas situated in one book. 

It's suppose to be sunny here in Vancouver this week, hope Spring has come to where ever you are. The flowers are just EVERYWHERE out here my mother cannot stop exclaiming over them. 

Here's to hoping to good weather for the island adventures.

a bow for you, a bow for me, a bow for everyone

 

Sweater: Boot legger

Skirt: Thrifted, Bolton, Chez Thrift

Belt: H&M

Shirt: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery

How this outfit came to be Hattified: I started with the blue skirt, paired with the blue top was boring all as one matchy poo outfit. I threw on the skinny mustard belt, because a skirt without a belt is no outfit t'all. The sweater happened to match perfectly to the belt. Thus you have two matchy poo outfits blue and mustards becoming one Hattified outfit. The necklace just tied the whole outfit together and is the beginning of my new summer line :) 

What do you think of my new line of jewellery? 

Why this outfit works: I think blue and mustard goes famously together. The skinny belt is not over powering and ties in the sweater. The white bows make this outfit springy. 

Another version: Wear a plain white t-shirt and a navy braid belt. Don't forget your Hattitude necklace. 

It was a warm breeze in Vancouver today. I bought the book Half Blood Blues for book club next month. Has anyone read the book? It's set in the 1940's about a black, german, jazz, musician from Paris. 

We seem to be having a theme at book club lately, of Paris during the war years. Last month it was The Paris Wife. Did anyone read that? It was a little slow in the middle, but the beginning and ending were quite good.
