Vancouver: The Loeffler rain booties we’ve been longing for
After a few months of letting soggy weather ruin cute outfits, I’m longing for waterproof footwear that’s actually stylish—specifically, Loeffler Randall’s much-anticipated rain booties (shown, $200). Originally slated for release two years ago (there were production delays), the cotton jersey–lined lace-ups are slightly Victorian, slightly military and altogether practical. At The Block (350 W. Cordova St., 604-685-8885, theblock.ca).
Valentine's Day Lingerie Picks
Candy makes you fat. Flowers die. Only lingerie is the gift that keeps on giving for Valentine's Day.
Whether you buy it for yourself to spice things up (go girl!) or wait for your significant other to give it to you as a gift, I've narrowed it down to 6 picks that will appeal to everyone from the girl who likes to really heat things up, to the one who likes to stay cozy in pajamas.
One of my faves is this Betsey Johnson rose print chemise (Buy Direct) because it's such a pretty feminine cut and print. (Photo Credit: Nordstrom.com)
High Waisted Denim Cut Offs
Lately I've been obsessing over this kind of shorts. I know they aren't exactly a new thing around but I'm really digging them at the moment, don't ask me why. Here are some examples of how to wear them:
Tight or loose, cropped or long, vintage or new... You name it! T-shirts, tank tops or button up shirts, everything is allowed when it comes to denim cut offs. Add a vintage belt or some over-the-knee socks, then pair them with military boots, platform shoes or wedges (try some cool sandals or even canvas sneakers in the summer) and you're good to go!
This style of shorts has been inspiring a lot of DIY, not only in the actual making of the shorts (cut offs of old Levis jeans), but also by trying to make them different and stand out from the crowd. The most usual DIY involve studs, patchwork, dying or simply distressing.

Nicole? Is that you?
I have to admit that I think this tough/boyish look is completely unexpected and has nothing to do with her... But I do love the unexpected.
