Looks Just Like the Sun

Wearing: Le Chateau dress (worn as shirt), Wilfred tank,
H&M wedges, belt, and jewellery, DIY cut-offs, Badgley Mischka bag

Post-work yesterday (hence the over-stuffed tote), I met up with my incredibly talented friend Viranlly Liemena, a Vancouver-based photographer.  Since the weather was unusually balmy compared to the past period of relentless, freezing rain, we decided to stroll around Gastown…without jackets!  It was a miraculous moment actually. 

I’ve just started working a couple days a week in Gastown and absolutely love it – it’s such a refreshing change from the touristy trap of the downtown core and the area has such a distinct and vibrant personality about it.  A definite must for anyone visiting Vancouver! 

Thanks again to Viranlly – if you want to follow, head over to his Twitter page!  Such an amazing photographer, and in keeping with this week’s homegrown talent theme, definitely someone who I’d say is one of the brightest young photogs coming out of the city.

    Alex, these photos are incredible! They look like they just tumbled right out of a magazine and you, my friend, are a truly stunning model. I love that you have completely mastered the mouth-slightly-open-because-I'm-an-astonishingly-cool-supermodel look- it's completely on my list of things to learn, but for some reason my face just well not cooperate 😛 I'm referring in particular to the fourth shot from the top. Perfection. Viranlly is quite the photographer, too- any chance he wants to work with other bloggers? 😀
    xox,

    Okay, hello model gorgeous omg! Alexandra, not that we didn't already know that you were beautiful but my goodness, this looks magazine worthy!!! I need Viranlly in my life too, does he shoot bloggers often? Or is it super expensive?
    I'm so excited to hear all about your new Gastown adventures and catch up at our next get together 🙂

    "So… you're like, famous or something right???"

    Seriously Alex, you're so gorgeous! He's captured you so well and I am dying over the colouring of the shots. The first photo, with your blog title pasted on the shot, makes it especially look like a magazine shoot. And ditto on the girls' comments above: I saw your shots and wanted to look him up to see if he would be willing to shoot other bloggers! I have a feeling he's going to be getting a whole lot of emails 😛

    Hope you're having a lovely week Alex!

    these are SO New York! rad 1st picture with your title added, nice touch. i love it, the feeling of the shoot is completely boho chic and something i'd see in a magazine spread for sure. are you positive you aren't taking a stroll through Greenwich Village?! you are HOT & sweet all in the same moment – bravo to you & Viranlly!!!!!

    girl, i live so close by the G-town hood, gotta find out where you are to stop in and say hi one day. xo ♥

    also, just taking another look-see, cos it's totally captivating okay! i def think you should work this into your blog as a permanent fixture somehow. blog button, alternate header (i know yours is a special art piece so that's a last option) or a footer….somethings got to remain for lasting way past Tuesday, May 10th. it's TOO GOOD! xo ♥

  12. 5.11.11

    I'm in LOVE with these gorgeous shots!! Absolutely stunning… the compositions, depth of field, the rich colours, and… YOU are such a stunner. I'm also madly in love with your fabulous outfit, what a gorgeous take on denim shorts, SO pretty, chic, and just a little bit boho!! Yay. xx veronika
