J. Crew Vancouver Opens!

J. Crew opened it's first location in Vancouver last week and naturally, they threw a fun party to celebrate and introduce members of the J. Crew... crew to the West Coast! It was such a fun event, and the store is ah-mah-zing -- two floors and full of so much good print and colour.

The night could be summed up by musician Karl Wolf's current Top 40 hit, "champagne in my glass, I'm surrounded by hoes, you know, you know that I f*ck shit up," with hoes being bloggers, and "f*ck shit up" meaning exchange pleasantries and anecdotes, mingle, shop, and politely decline more champagne.  No? Not a good analogy? Moving on.

Me, in desperate need of bronzer, blush, or an old-lady to pinch my cheeks, with Olivia of StyleStruck fame, my wonderful date for the evening (lucky me, I know).

I was busy investigating The Case of the Disappearing Champagne and thus didn't take any photos, but thankfully Olivia snapped one for me on my iPhone. 

Let's talk about these sandals for a haute minute (puns!). They're only $50/$60 (USD/CAD) and are such a good basic sandal. I generally don't do "classics" since I have a penchant for footwear of the more obnoxious variety, but with all the colour and print you'll be wearing this season (like that floral dress at J. Crew poking its way into my picture) buying something simple is a good way to go. I know, I've changed. Don't hate, participate!

J. Crew is located at 1088 Robson St.
