A Bit of Tea

Spent the day sipping blueberry tea with a good friend of mine and catching up on the past year. The Oolong Teahouse in Kensington is our favourite haunt as tea lovers. And who can beat the lovely riverside walk a block away, or downtown for shopping? Also, the Bay downtown is expanding to include one of my favourite purse designers, Botkier. They're so structured and the colours are gorgeous and easy to match with anything in your wardrobe.

Sherlocked

Does anyone else watch "Elementary" and absolutely love Lucy Liu as Watson? As a character, I feel Watson doesn't do a ton, but then again, he never did in the books either. He was always a supporting character to provide support to Sherlock. However, I adore the new take on Watson - as a female - and absolutely adore the outfits Liu gets to wear! She's a master of layering and using a few accessories to pull off chic and easy looks. Perfect for fall when I go back to university. 

After the Rain

It's been really wet here in Calgary. Vancouver level wet. I don't mind, but Calgary really isn't build for all the rain, and my heart goes out to those who were affected by the floods all over Southern Alberta. I remember when I was a kid, I would always be so excited when it rained, because it did so very rarely. Often, we suffered from droughts. However, as time passed and global warming started to kick in, rain has been the predominant weather forecast for June. 

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the sunny breaks we're getting, and rejoicing in bare legs. Yes, I wear skirts all the time, even in our bitter winters (I should probably stop that habit and start dressing for the weather), but it's so nice to not need to wear tights or leggings. And I finally bought a ton of shorts, so I'm excited to drag them out of their bags and try out some new styles. I'm also loving my new leather jacket. I can use it in so many looks, despite how girly my usual wardrobe is. It definitely adds more variety to my closet and I can't wait to get some more. Let's see if I can pull off cool, rather than girly this summer.

(Let's also see if I get any better at this self portrait thing, as my closeups all came out blurry.)
