GGG in Vancity #11: Those Summer Nights
There is something seriously so fascinating about fire. I'm the girl who sits up as close as possible to it just so that I can stare at it the whole night. That being said, you can imagine just how thrilled I was when the idea came up to make our very own beach bonfire on our last day in Van... even better, to be able to enjoy it amongst good friends and company? What a great, warming way to end May Long.

I love it when Ray decides to take ownership of the Rebel every now and then, mainly because he's just automatically good at it... anyway, he went a little bit Sartorialist on us. A string of pearls, studded bag and floral shorts = love.

GGG to Vancity #7: Inexpensive Thrills
tee by AZFN.
I love being caught off guard with simple yet such genius designs such as this oversized pocket just dead-on in the middle of the shirt. It's like it's not supposed to be there yet it is perfectly supposed to be there at the same time. Who better to come up with that than William Anzevino and Richard Florence, the fashion duo known for their juxtaposition? By far one of my favorite (and funnest) pieces I own, and also not so surprising to me that it's from the Men's collection but as soon as my boyf saw it he knew I'd think it was sick.

There was a section of the store that was dedicated to "last pairs" and after I had already purchased my tee, one of the girls decided (tactically, I'm sure) to ask what size feet I had, and from then on I figured it was destiny that both last pairs were itty bitty size 5's. I'm still totally into the whole tribal idea and from the intricate bead detailing to the real pony hair used on these giada's... the shoe just fit. I apologize for my lame attempt at turning this story into a modern day Cinderalla... but sometimes shopping is just that. Oh and another noteable feature: rear zip in the back? Don't we all love easy access these days.

Denim Lovers: Beware
303 WEST CORDOVA STREET
Denim. The ultimate style staple and for some, the ultimate investment. Imagine an entire store dedicated to it and low and behold you have dutil. - a denim boutique just shy of 3 years old. Within this short time, it has become one of of the most influential destinations for premium denim in North America, carrying a strong mix of directional brands (Nudie Jeans, JBrands, Earnest Sewns...), but still stays true to its roots and carries the original classics as well. Even more exciting, GGGB is thrilled to report that dutil. is working on their very own jean which is expected to hit the market place later in the year.

GGG to Vancity No. 4: Ava and Mia
Jess' adorable little cousins... a little bit about them: their favorite restaurant is Moxie's because of the Volcano Sundae (dry ice = winner) and also they enjoy sneaking into our room in the mornings and whispering to each other: "The girls are here!"

Comparisons Are Easily Done
The newest Katy Perry - Thinking of you (Kudos for stepping out of your box and still sounding amazing, KP)
BTW: I'm excited because my new BJ "Terra" Mary-Jane Pumps kind of look like the ones she's wearing in the video! (See 1:21 or 4:11) Okay, maybe they don't but I'm using this as an opportunity to transition into sharing my newest purchase with you, readers. Originally priced at $260 CAN, I managed to get everything classic I love about Betsey Johnson all put into one pair: patent leather, round toe, bold side cutouts, perforated accents at the collar, a dip-dyed satin ribbon tie, and lastly the signature pink leather sole - on sale at Holts Vancouver for $99 CAN. I'm in love*.
*I forgot to mention the 4 1/4" coned heels. Pain for beauty!
