About Me

I'm a Vancouverite who moonlighted as an Angeleno. Fashion and writing will be the death of me, but what a way to go. Carine Roitfeld is fabulous. I would die a painful death if art, design, photography, fashion, music and dancing did not exist. Absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I feel so lucky to have the girlfriends that I do. I'm a total sun baby. I buy too many glossy magazines. Nothing beats someone with a killer sense of humor. Chivalry is really not dead. I'm a victim of minor vertigo and a serious lead foot. Always up for meeting people from paths different than mine and crossing paths with old friends.

At the very end of it all, I want to be able to look back and say: Yeah, I sure lived a damn good life.

I heard about Splendora from...

Oh boy, I can't quite remember...it was so long ago. Yes, shame on me for not creating a profile earlier.

What's in Your Handbag

My wallet, my Krzr phone, Stila lip gloss, Bath & Body mint-flavored tinted gloss, cherry Chapstick, Shu Uemura eyelash curler, Wrigley's 5 gum in cobalt, Palmer's olive butter cream, Olympus digital recorder for interviews, my pink notepad for jotting down thoughts, i.d. on the spot liquid filled cotton swabs

What's in Your Closet?

The question is more like what's not in my closet! Here's a cross section:

- Too many shoes to count (flats, gladiators, boots, peep-toes, flip-flops, stilettos, platforms, wedges, vintage red boots from eBay, gold Versace pumps from eBay bought at a steal, sneaks -- love my Creative Recs!)

- My favorite Sass & Bide top, navy shirt dress, fringe bag from Melio Blanco, vintage clutches procured from my granny's closet, 80s-inspired off-the-shoulder sweater, cropped nautical vest, lots of denim (skinny, trouser, flared), an extra big green sweater vest I use as a mini dress, my trusty Dace Moore tunic top, comfy dresses from Kersh, vintage odds and ends, my McQ by Alexander McQueen cream cape coat with brown toggles...honestly, I could go on.

Vancouver, New York, Berlin, Stockholm, Los Angeles, Paris, San Francisco
