Playing Paparazzi at BC Fashion Week

Hello readers, I am back! It's been a few days away from blogging as I took some time off to breathe in the mountain air at Whistler. I've got lots of catching up to do, so let's get started with last night, when I attended the BC Fashion Week opening show with Kelsey at The Anthology. The featured designer was Jacqueline Conoir, and the show was held at a sleek new club called Fortune Sound Club in dicey Chinatown (for my non-Vancouver friends, our Chinatown is rather drug-ridden and full of the homeless but is slowly changing into the latest It neighborhood). It had all the proper edge and chic one would expect at a fashion show.

The show was jam-packed, and I tried my best to play paparazzi. Being small is definitely a disadvantage when it comes to runway photography!

My favorite photo was unrelated to what was happening on the runway, but rather when supermodel and runway coach Stacey McKenzie posed for my camera in an impromptu moment (seen above). She's absolutely stunning in person and commands an amazing presence.

The show itself was alright, not really my style but I was happy to be there to soak in the atmosphere. Conoir's 2010 Spring collection featured mostly structured business wear, accented by some swingy tops and dresses. My favorite part of the collection was the long evening dresses, some in psychedelic prints and others in bridal creams and whites.








Up next, a recap of my Whistler trip and some outfit posts. Stay tuned!

Quick Hello

This past week has been a bit hectic so just a quick outfit post to show off my new brown studded boots. I love them! Last week I had lunch with Kelly from Option 8 and Teresa at Senses and Style where we chatted about boys and celebrity crushes, the Canucks (hockey is starting again and my crush is looking good with some new muscle mass according to my friend Alix at Canucks Hockey Blog), and geeky design stuff. Afterwards, we took some snaps by the train station.

This week, my mom and dad arrive from Hong Kong, and we're going to Whistler for the weekend to chill at one of my fave hotels, The Four Seasons. Mom and Dad will hit the golf course while hubby and I go mountain biking. Hope I come back in one piece!

I'm also super excited to hang out with Kelsey at The Anthology next week at BC Fashion Week. It's going to be fun but busy couple of weeks.
