To The Maxi...

Last Friday I attended the preview event for Western Canada Fashion Week, and this is what I wore... A simple, sheer back maxi paired with a leopard print tank felt appropriate (read: "fashiony"), while a single pop of colour helped livened things up a bit. My forgotten jewelry is still not here, so once again this Forever 21 necklace made an appearance... Desperate times, right?

The evening was filled with lively conversations, chocolate-covered strawberries, and of course, fashion. To see more, check out this amazing video by my friend Kassandra's uber talented husband... What a guy.

Peach Paradise...

Hi friends! Did everyone have a nice weekend? I spent the majority of mine painting/redecorating, and even though I was a sweaty, paint-covered mess for longer than I care to admit, it was totally worth it... SO. MUCH. BETTER!

Anyway, these photos were taken on Friday night (or 'date night,' if you will) while Mr. AIF and I enjoyed tasty seafood on the doc and a lovely stroll around the harbour. I decided to wear a newly-thrifted skirt (it's silk!) with my H&M bird top that never seems to get any play... It seemed like a totally good idea at the time, but let me tell you something: uber saucy food and light coloured silk DO NOT mix. Evidently my twenty-some years were not enough to impart such wisdom on me - I had to go and learn it the hard way. Typical.

Happy Monday, everyone! xx

Water Baby...

I'm all about the maxis these days... Can you tell? I love their versatility and how truly wearable they are. Plus I don't have to worry about my pasty legs frightening children; it's a win-win.

Have you guys climbed aboard the maxi-skirt express?

Pink, Blue & a Graffiti Wall or Two...

Hi lovelies! We took these photos last week while strolling around downtown Victoria in search of jobs... Although we didn't find any that day, we did, however, find the perfect backdrop for photos. This little alley boasts privacy (as far as downtown alleys go), graffiti and amazing afternoon light... What more could you ask for, you say? Well how about a little background info!

Evidently this alley is where shackled prisoners were led to the gallows, and is supposed to be haunted by not only them, but by a small boy who fell down an adjacent well many moons ago when Victoria was still a fort... Cool, huh? I guess I've been on a fair share of ghost tours in my day.
