Wilfred coat, Sam Edelman booties, Rebecca Minkoff bag,
vintage scarf, dress c/o Lost & Found, belt from Mexico 

I know my fellow Canucks probably won’t be that impressed with me for saying this but…I really hate the winter. It’s been snowing for the past week and isn’t supposed to let up for awhile, so I’m going to have to get really creative about getting to all the things that keep my spirits up during the winter (running, getting enough light, trekking out to see friends). I also just have to keep repeating to myself: Maui in three months, Maui in three months, Maui in three months. That and I might be doing Vegas up once I’m done my term too! Just need to keep the sunshine in my mind.


One thing I’m super excited about is a little cabin trip this weekend! Should be massive amounts of good quality girl time: doing our nails, face masks, chick flicks, and lots and lots of baking.

Happy hump-day lovelies!

    Keeping Maui in mind should help you survive the next three months. At least there is no ice — right? Because ice is the worst. You look cute, so that helps, too!

    Ahh, I'm so jealous that you're going to Maui. I'm a little sick of wearing what feels like thousands of layers everyday in this frigid weather. You look gorgeous in these pictures, Alex!

    Hi Alexandra, i know you don't like the cold weather, but I am loving your savvy Winter's style. This outfit especially. It's so cool how you mix up different colours and make it work so cohesively.

    Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colour palette, and is that Ambleside I spy? There's so little snow compared to up where I live! But, I think I'm on the same boat with you, it's pretty to look at, to board on, to play in, but after a certain point, I AM SO SICK OF WINTER! 🙁

    Have a fun trip!

    This is such a great outfit. I love all the colours. Also, the snow on the west coast is the worst. It's wet and slushy and makes my ears hurt. I don't know why. But we'll make it through! Eventually.

  25. 1.19.12

    The weather is the hardest thing for me to adjust to since moving to Vancouver but it sure does make for pretty winter photos!! I'm kinda jealous I'm missing all the snow.

  26. 1.19.12

    I absolutely love this blue dress on you, the shade is so perfect and that scarf is awesome! Great layering going on. I am so jealous of you going to Maui in 3 months. And that weekend at the cabin sounds so amazing, what fun! I don't mind winter when it isn't -30.

    Maui in three months? I'm officially uber jealous, pally, but I know at least you'll take lots of pictures while you're there so that we can all live vicariously through your beach time fun. In the meantime, you're making the best of this miserable weather (as a fellow Canadian, I am so with you about hating winter – that's why I moved to BC!) by layering beautifully. I especially love that gorgeous pashmina and those wedge booties. I'm on the hunt for a pair and not going to lie, yours are pretty much perfect 🙂

    nice outfit and scarf that you have:)
    i never feel winter, because of that i really want to feel winter. i think winter it's beautiful. heheheh
    btw, have a nice trip 🙂

  61. 1.20.12

    I'm Canadian too, but I also HATE the winter!! But then again, I was spoiled by the beautiful sunny weather in California when I worked there for 6 months! Coming back to Vancouver from TO tomorrow, hope there won't be too much snow/slush on the ground!

    Love the colours in this outfit 🙂

    some kinda awesome Alex! i feel refreshed and revived just looking at you and your lighthearted spirit dashing around in those wonderful shots!! i love the visual experience here and the red framed house behind you while wearing those tights. omg, i can't believe what a great snap that is!!!!!!! wow's and gasps in tow. Maui countdown, what? gosh, we need a vacay so bad and Hawaii sounds like a blissful dream right now. that's not long to wait at all and i'm sure the school term will flash by.

    beautiful outfit and with the backdrop…as mentioned, it's so completely harmonious to view together. your eyes and hair totally compliment the surroundings, it's rather incredible. LOVE! xo ♥
