Daydream Vs. Reality: Faux Fur Vest

I was on farfetch yet again, daydreaming of beautiful designer clothes when I came across this super chic faux fur vest from DKNY. As I was thinking of what I would wear with it reality kicked in and I realized how much my imaginary outfit was going to cost me. I began searching for a less expensive alternative.

IDS: Interior Design Show Vancouver 2014 Pt. 1

This year was the first year I attended the Interior Design Show

These extraordinary dining environments—from the lavish and romantic to the outrageous and whimsical -http://idswest.com/highlights/dinner-design/

Here's where I messed up a bit. I thought I was being organized taking photos of which Company did what but of course I forgot to take a photo so I had to go back and my photos became very unorganized. If I have mis-credited any of the next installations I am SO SO sorry!!
(Also feel free to correct me and I will change it!)

A friend of mine is now moving from his beautifully decorated, one bedroom condo at The Wall Centre in Olympic Village.

Unfortunately I didn't make it to his apartment in time to take photos to share with you, however, he had some great shots on his phone (please excuse the picture quality).
