I was even happier when Brittany told me the item of the week was by <a href="http://www.stuartweitzman.ca/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stuart Weitzman</span></a>, one of my favourite brands for on trend yet comfortable footwear. Given the fact that these booties are not a style I would normally choose for myself, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much they've grown on me since their arrival - I've actually been wearing them non stop.

Subdued vs. Bold. Delicate vs. Harsh. Juxtaposing in style has proven to be one of the best ways to not take a trend too literally or to help make something your own. Now more than ever, I've been enjoying this practice in the way that I dress, and my wardrobe has changed to accommodate this accordingly. Here are some of my favourite things as of late that have been allowing me to do this.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wdDnrfjsYoI/Tpv_oTVYayI/AAAAAAAADYI/51sTJ7JI9lk/_MG_3492.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wdDnrfjsYoI/Tpv_oTVYayI/AAAAAAAADYI/51sTJ7JI9lk/_MG_3492.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664402024198335266" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{the vast majority of my nail polish collection consists of these two shades: one makes me feel youthful and feminine, and the other- grown up and bold}</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AQvIuh8tGcs/Tpv_nZiMStI/AAAAAAAADXg/nAtyq7x4T64/_MG_3467.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AQvIuh8tGcs/Tpv_nZiMStI/AAAAAAAADXg/nAtyq7x4T64/_MG_3467.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664402008682810066" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{a leather miniskirt next to a ladylike midi-length floral piece}</span><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EN3zrEl6B4I/Tpv_oCuhqrI/AAAAAAAADX4/8COfZi1tDqA/_MG_3488.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EN3zrEl6B4I/Tpv_oCuhqrI/AAAAAAAADX4/8COfZi1tDqA/_MG_3488.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664402019740396210" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{the girliest of girly pearl & bow studs brought next to textured, angular statement earrings}</span><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkXmQCGTWhU/Tp0mcWkY-qI/AAAAAAAADYQ/nwmfLuKESuA/_MG_3549.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rkXmQCGTWhU/Tp0mcWkY-qI/AAAAAAAADYQ/nwmfLuKESuA/_MG_3549.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664726174838356642" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{the most stunning juxtaposition of all - urban buildings against beautiful nature & what Vancouverites are constantly spoiled with}</span><br />What's been inspiring you lately?<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-1026479373758126859?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-13180277446188061952011-10-17T01:00:00.000-07:002011-10-17T02:41:37.446-07:00Urban Nature<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vyim3FYldfY/TpvdFDLT9pI/AAAAAAAADXA/qaYWu3cuetQ/_MG_3500-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vyim3FYldfY/TpvdFDLT9pI/AAAAAAAADXA/qaYWu3cuetQ/_MG_3500-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664364035170367122" border="0" /></a><br />When I first saw this gorgeous skirt in the H&M Conscious Collection campaign photos, I never thought that it would look good on someone with "sturdy" runner's legs like mine; I don't typically wear midi skirts (except for <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="/2011/05/midi-summer-nights-dream.html">this one</a>) because of their tendency to be completely unflattering on me. When I gave it a try at the H&M opening last week, though, I was pleasantly surprised. The length was perfect and it cinches beautifully at the waist to create a perfectly feminine skirt that will surprisingly pair well with a large number of looks.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-foGxG4F_M2U/Tpvd8nHpNXI/AAAAAAAADXQ/54fgIuLOGYI/_MG_3499-3.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-foGxG4F_M2U/Tpvd8nHpNXI/AAAAAAAADXQ/54fgIuLOGYI/_MG_3499-3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664364989711463794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lEMBp4AMnng/TpvdEvcQE3I/AAAAAAAADWw/Y0cEjba-LAQ/_MG_3602.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lEMBp4AMnng/TpvdEvcQE3I/AAAAAAAADWw/Y0cEjba-LAQ/_MG_3602.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664364029872706418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ldTruTAC4YU/TpvdEno1o0I/AAAAAAAADWk/MVKcTJTlhXw/_MG_3588.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ldTruTAC4YU/TpvdEno1o0I/AAAAAAAADWk/MVKcTJTlhXw/_MG_3588.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664364027778016066" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-knhFp27V0Jo/Tpvd8ZyL3QI/AAAAAAAADXI/b84yW5PjTr0/_MG_3582.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-knhFp27V0Jo/Tpvd8ZyL3QI/AAAAAAAADXI/b84yW5PjTr0/_MG_3582.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5664364986131799298" border="0" /></a><br />This Prada cardholder, which was gifted by <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.reebonz.com/">Reebonz</a>, is the perfect wallet alternative when I'm carrying a smaller bag. <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://www.facebook.com/#%21/ReebonzCanada">Reebonz </a>is a Singapore-based flash sale site that has daily exclusive and private high end designer sale events.

This lighter weight sweater from Zara stands out while the air is still warm enough for it to be worn on its own, and it will continue to inject a dose of happiness when the upcoming chills will require layers on top.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fn_b2soM5xo/TpJ9m0hQluI/AAAAAAAADUI/iN0sMxtcP3E/_MG_2675.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fn_b2soM5xo/TpJ9m0hQluI/AAAAAAAADUI/iN0sMxtcP3E/_MG_2675.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661725787444778722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4PtmMZxTbsk/TpJ-aLX4BCI/AAAAAAAADUQ/x9o8OU8j9hI/_MG_2695.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4PtmMZxTbsk/TpJ-aLX4BCI/AAAAAAAADUQ/x9o8OU8j9hI/_MG_2695.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661726669752763426" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ivjH3S2aqI/TpJ-aWHZRGI/AAAAAAAADUY/PpmCj3XAWoY/_MG_2711.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ivjH3S2aqI/TpJ-aWHZRGI/AAAAAAAADUY/PpmCj3XAWoY/_MG_2711.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661726672636429410" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZecTkxdXQVU/TpJ9mvIqPEI/AAAAAAAADUA/HCeBgXrlB9s/_MG_2681.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZecTkxdXQVU/TpJ9mvIqPEI/AAAAAAAADUA/HCeBgXrlB9s/_MG_2681.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661725785999424578" border="0" /></a><br />P.S.

Since I'm <span style="font-style: italic;">still </span>considering it a over year later, I took the chance to play around with different possible looks using the "everyday luxury" pieces available at <a href="http://www.my-wardrobe.com/"><u>My-Wardrobe</u></a>, a seriously well-edited site full of beautiful things. The conclusion? A leather skirt is a versatile, fun and a good juxtaposition against otherwise feminine looks. I'm sold, and am now on the hunt for the perfect rendition!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What do you think of leather skirts?

The blouse fits perfectly, is super soft, and is of course so versatile that it literally goes with everything in my wardrobe. Best of all, it has this "lived in" quality about it- like the perfect white T in dressier form, if you will. I've not only reached for it most mornings since its arrival, but I've swiftly placed an order for the pink version of it too (and am seriously considering black). I think it's safe to say that I've found my new favourite blouse.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-4221887592857639578?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-36629668506782476232011-10-04T01:00:00.000-07:002011-10-04T01:00:06.723-07:00Video: her waise choice x Barefoot Contessa<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UEdfNMWxHNE" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"></iframe><br /><br />I, like many others, completely cringe at the sight & sound of myself on camera. When local boutique Barefoot Contessa asked if I wanted to collaborate with them to make a video, though, I had to give it a chance. I still feel a little apprehensive about posting this up as I am clearly nervous and awkward in the video (I swear I don't look this mean in real life!). However, I'm rather happy with the professionalism of the editing thanks to Paul Milaire and Roderick Fung (see their photographic work with me <a href="/search/label/Fotowok"><span style="font-weight: bold;">here</span></a>), who graciously lent their videography skills and made the experience much more enjoyable than it would have been without them.<br /><br />So without further ado, here's my first foray into the world of video: a short clip where I offer a bit of insight on how to transition your summer pieces into fall.<br /><br />Find out more about Barefoot Contessa <a href="https://www.facebook.com/barefootcontessa#%21/thebarefootcontessa"><span style="font-weight: bold;">here</span></a>!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-3662966850678247623?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-75731768503100182052011-10-03T01:00:00.000-07:002011-10-03T01:08:33.138-07:00Daytime Sparkle<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wWzhZHazG5k/TolV0soJGjI/AAAAAAAADSQ/DZY5K-MJuik/_MG_2777.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wWzhZHazG5k/TolV0soJGjI/AAAAAAAADSQ/DZY5K-MJuik/_MG_2777.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659148770588826162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Sequins for day is not a new concept, but I've hardly done it as it seems to be more suitable juxtaposed with tomboyish, rugged pieces rather than most of the things in my closet. However, an overcast fall day proved to be the perfect time to use this skirt (previously worn <a href="/2011/09/global-party.html"><u>here</u></a>) for my own AM sequin look. Although I received a bit more attention from wearing it than I had anticipated (namely from several older ladies who commented on how "fancy" it looked), it proved to add a much needed burst of fun into a chilly day.

Among my friends I was known as the one who only wore black and white the vast majority of the time, and maybe a pop of colour in a single element if I wanted to take a bit of a 'risk'. It's not that I think that blogging has led me to stray from my style, as the silhouettes I'm drawn to are still pretty much the same. However, is it crazy that I now consider these muted mustard pants and this navy blue lace blouse my 'safe' pieces in this look, ready to be accented with a punch of raspberry in the trench?!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TF4INjwUIXo/ToKucCHGT4I/AAAAAAAADQI/qUMsUQIuXqs/_MG_2580-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TF4INjwUIXo/ToKucCHGT4I/AAAAAAAADQI/qUMsUQIuXqs/_MG_2580-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657275878556979074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-acFqAXe0BT0/ToKwDdce9DI/AAAAAAAADQQ/ND4JM-uPOT4/_MG_2629-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-acFqAXe0BT0/ToKwDdce9DI/AAAAAAAADQQ/ND4JM-uPOT4/_MG_2629-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657277655420957746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-upCrUHi5UP4/ToKwDuJk_fI/AAAAAAAADQY/MxSOZJqIb_E/_MG_2654-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-upCrUHi5UP4/ToKwDuJk_fI/AAAAAAAADQY/MxSOZJqIb_E/_MG_2654-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657277659905064434" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsuoldKqS_0/ToKtxVsjQ2I/AAAAAAAADQA/sQfPGdniElM/_MG_2560.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UsuoldKqS_0/ToKtxVsjQ2I/AAAAAAAADQA/sQfPGdniElM/_MG_2560.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657275145079964514" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Wearing: <a href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/ProductDetailWrapperView?storeId=10551&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&partNumber=81299_ber"><u>Coach</u></a></span><u><a href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/ProductDetailWrapperView?storeId=10551&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&partNumber=81299_ber"> trench</a></u> (c/o), <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">H&M</span> top & hair ring, <a href="http://rstyle.me/ejimknqcv"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><u>Topshop</u></span><u> pants</u></a>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Zara</span> shoes, <a href="http://rstyle.me/ejm2viqcv"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><u>YSL</u></span></a><u> ring</u>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Bally </span>bag<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-8524631667421760922?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com39tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-72059823694781713502011-09-27T01:00:00.000-07:002011-09-27T03:06:31.717-07:00Tuesday Treats<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa5RP4e0PD4/ToE-JIY8iBI/AAAAAAAADPI/zSgjiitlfFo/_MG_2349.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa5RP4e0PD4/ToE-JIY8iBI/AAAAAAAADPI/zSgjiitlfFo/_MG_2349.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656870933545912338" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;">{the growing collection of sparkly skirts in my closet: Club Monaco, Vero Moda, <a href="http://www.thebay.com/eng/womens-shortsskirts-Sequin_Skirt-thebay/210170"><span style="font-weight: bold;">MOON</span></a> & Forever 21}</span><br />It's been a while since my last Tuesday Treats feature.

Luckily, this Coach bag does help in making the impending gloom a <span style="font-style: italic;">tiny</span> bit easier: the smoky grey hue goes with just about all of the shades I'm excited to wear this fall and the crocodile embossed leather makes it a statement piece all on its own.

To be at the Vancouver party, which was held at Opus Lounge, was quite the experience: individuals like Roberto Luongo graced us with their presence, and we mingled while we sipped on Grey Goose cocktails and munched on canapés and desserts. All of the money raised for the event goes to the charity ARK (Absolute Return for Kids). Thanks to Heth PR for the invite!<br /><br />I wore a newly acquired <a href="http://rstyle.me/ejimg8qcv"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Topshop blouse</span></a> from the new capsule collection at The Bay downtown, a Moon sequin skirt (also from the Bay!), <a href="http://rstyle.me/dsbjqcv"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Aldo pumps</span></a> and my treasured vintage Bally bag.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mUyv2vfNS6s/TnL7ZvzOJ5I/AAAAAAAADK4/97X13bapBA4/_MG_2333.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mUyv2vfNS6s/TnL7ZvzOJ5I/AAAAAAAADK4/97X13bapBA4/_MG_2333.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652856902049998738" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{inspired by the novel "Around the World in 80 days"}<br /></span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0jCJm4phYf4/TnL9k1oclcI/AAAAAAAADLg/uZ0C_XJa1tU/_MG_2294-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0jCJm4phYf4/TnL9k1oclcI/AAAAAAAADLg/uZ0C_XJa1tU/_MG_2294-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652859291617236418" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{with blogger friends <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.stylestruck.ca/">Olivia Lovenmark</a> and <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://littlefashionisto.com/">M'c kenneth Licon</a>}</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LOV-LYwfu9w/TnL_c-6WBSI/AAAAAAAADLo/uUP8rYDuqRo/_MG_2321.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LOV-LYwfu9w/TnL_c-6WBSI/AAAAAAAADLo/uUP8rYDuqRo/_MG_2321.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652861355692524834" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">{any event with macarons is a good one in my books!}</span><br /><br />For more photos of the night, click on over to my <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.facebook.com/herwaisechoice">Facebook page</a>!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-2748555977149660139?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-77043143601937284592011-09-14T01:00:00.000-07:002011-09-14T01:00:08.767-07:00Transitional Blocking<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wOqZXcsI9IU/Tm7Y_u7TOXI/AAAAAAAADKA/673Vt7v7sHw/_MG_1714.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wOqZXcsI9IU/Tm7Y_u7TOXI/AAAAAAAADKA/673Vt7v7sHw/_MG_1714.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651693171836664178" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />As much as I don't like that the days are getting shorter and cooler, I think transitional dressing is so much fun. The fact that there are two seasons to draw inspiration has proven to result in a plethora of outfit possibilities. I like the idea of wearing brights into fall, while making the look more seasonally appropriate with a pair of forest green trousers. The result is a look that seems to admit to the nearing of fall while still being optimistic that sunny days won't leave us quite yet.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I04JTdo6tGg/TnBOr0hI15I/AAAAAAAADKY/JZdTpn7icck/_MG_1697.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I04JTdo6tGg/TnBOr0hI15I/AAAAAAAADKY/JZdTpn7icck/_MG_1697.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652104047088949138" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tpLKDupHd8Y/Tm7Y_-22jGI/AAAAAAAADKI/gOOHIRLCTwc/_MG_1767-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tpLKDupHd8Y/Tm7Y_-22jGI/AAAAAAAADKI/gOOHIRLCTwc/_MG_1767-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651693176112974946" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kr8gzpgb3C4/Tm7ZAMIQYCI/AAAAAAAADKQ/FVEQh4RXOjE/_MG_1780.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kr8gzpgb3C4/Tm7ZAMIQYCI/AAAAAAAADKQ/FVEQh4RXOjE/_MG_1780.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651693179675631650" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Wearing: H&M</span> blouse and jacket, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Zara</span> trousers and shoes, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Coach</span> bag<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-7704314360193728459?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-51236651997702983732011-09-12T01:00:00.000-07:002011-09-12T01:06:42.955-07:00Hanging on to Summer<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ppNVcPD-7f8/Tm2hRcW6b6I/AAAAAAAADJ4/nC1nxVDVMmI/_MG_2061-1.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ppNVcPD-7f8/Tm2hRcW6b6I/AAAAAAAADJ4/nC1nxVDVMmI/_MG_2061-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651350428461985698" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">September thus far has been surprisingly hot, with temperatures that have exceeded what we experienced in the actual summer months.

<br />
<br />I don't know about you, but sometimes blogging makes me want to <span style="font-style: italic;">shop</span>. Seeing new and shiny things on other bloggers all the time can have a tendency to make an already bursting closet seem less than sufficient. When I get into this state of mind, it feels like it would be so much easier to put something together when a piece is "fresh".
<br />
<br />I try my best to refrain from succumbing to this feeling for numerous reasons, but in any case I've taken some re-styled pieces from the blog and posted them into <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.158261757567510.34530.109042799156073"><span style="font-weight: bold;">one consolidated album</span></a>. If you're anything like me, hopefully this will encourage you to be a little more inventive about the way you re-wear things in your wardrobe instead of taking the easy way out and constantly getting new pieces.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Do you ever feel like this? I would love to hear some thoughts.</span>
<br />Feel free to hop on over to my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/herwaisechoice">Facebook page</a> and check it the album!

Paul, Rod and I wandered into this old auditorium and it was too perfect not to use for our location to shoot these photos.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh9wRX68icY/Tl3VtmV17_I/AAAAAAAADG8/NyJSFg_g230/IMG_7722-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh9wRX68icY/Tl3VtmV17_I/AAAAAAAADG8/NyJSFg_g230/IMG_7722-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646904487155462130" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A46fDHvej6E/Tl3SB4BtBnI/AAAAAAAADGs/yb17cxMznvQ/IMG_7693.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A46fDHvej6E/Tl3SB4BtBnI/AAAAAAAADGs/yb17cxMznvQ/IMG_7693.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646900437453702770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n09xQ04oRpU/Tl3SBxCwfAI/AAAAAAAADGk/1v08S_uCA3w/IMG_7716-1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n09xQ04oRpU/Tl3SBxCwfAI/AAAAAAAADGk/1v08S_uCA3w/IMG_7716-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646900435579075586" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xEe1A5zkwQ8/Tl3KEkOh8PI/AAAAAAAADGc/H5Cj0Y0DEX4/IMG_3269.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 900px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xEe1A5zkwQ8/Tl3KEkOh8PI/AAAAAAAADGc/H5Cj0Y0DEX4/IMG_3269.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646891687585378546" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Wearing: </span>Vintage dress (swapped with Cara), <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">H&M</span> sweater (<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://rstyle.me/bk6cpnqcv">similar in dress version</a>), Zara shoes (<a href="http://rstyle.me/jjbsqcv">similar)</a>, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Jacob </span>belt (<a href="http://rstyle.me/b3mxf6qcv"><span style="font-weight: bold;">similar</span></a>)<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3059920557992030708-5954326360467658651?l=herwaisechoice.com' alt='' /></div>Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13250050636769136923noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059920557992030708.post-3370918909772509942011-08-30T01:00:00.000-07:002011-08-30T01:07:03.379-07:00Vancouver Magazine<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak-nbY-tJB4/TlyJkbnyFRI/AAAAAAAADGM/IRGmglDpP14/vanmag.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 569px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak-nbY-tJB4/TlyJkbnyFRI/AAAAAAAADGM/IRGmglDpP14/vanmag.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646539291798672658" border="0" /></a>
<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was recently contacted by <a href="http://www.vanmag.com/">Vancouver Magazine</a> to be featured in an article for their September issue, highlighting the city's best style and fashion bloggers. After rubbing my eyes for some time to make sure I wasn't dreaming, I answered some interview questions and joined <a href="http://www.vitamindaily.com/">Sarah Bancroft</a>, <a href="http://www.demicouture.ca/">Victoria Potter</a>, <a href="http://www.stylequotient.com/">Paul Melo</a> & <a href="http://littlefashionisto.com/">M'c Kenneth Licon</a> in the heart of Gastown for this photo (by <a href="http://www.chrishaylett.com/3/artist.asp?ArtistID=19038&Akey=KMC3KPYC">Chris Haylett</a>).<span style="font-weight: bold;"> What an immense and unexpected honour</span> - big thanks to Vancouver Magazine for thinking of me!
