living in vancouver, we see more than our fair share of rain (more like 300 days a year of it!), and i always thought i was a-ok in my anorak, wellies and umbrella, but after i headed out in my trout rainwear, it was obvious that wearing an actual rain coat was something i’d been missing out on.
trout is a rare find: their rain coats are actually stylish and functional! these jackets made by trout are fantastic and hit every mark on a fashionable rain warriors check list: fashion forward, waterproof (not just water resistant like most on the market), and totally quality… and they look like your every day spring trench! each style has a huge hidden hood to keep you (and your hair and makeup) protected with a relaxed easy fit that can be worn rain or shine. did i mention the jackets are made right here in vancouver? i seriously love that.
the line was founded by sisters jenn lancefield and ashley mcdonald (how fun would it be to work along side your sis?!) and i had the chance to chat with them about their rainwear focused line.

the unexpected print: olivia styles her neon polka printed coat with a mix of textures like leather and studs. (photo)
i am such a fan of a pop of neon and seem to buy quite a bit of it to add in to my (mostly black) wardrobe. especially for summer, i love pairing a neon tank with maxi skirts and have been known to wear a lot of it at the gym. i love all of these ideas on how to splice a dash of it into your every day look.

the sun is starting to make an appearance more regularly and i’m feeling so bright and happy! these are a few things i can’t get enough of right now.
dayNa decker sent over this luxe peony candle – i’m not only in love with it, but the packaging is stunning and so right up my alley; i’m defo keeping that box! oh, and it’s natural and basically chemical-free. the candle burns with a soft crackling sound that is so tranquil with a book. i actually get sad when i have to blow it out! | please tell me you like a smidgen of trash tv? well, i love a lot of it and am watching the new season of real housewives of orange county online… with my bf (he pretends he’s doing me a favour, but i know the truth) | every year around this time, i break out my jo malone nectarine blossom and honey cologne. it’s so, so fresh and bright and instantly gets me in the vibe of spring and summer | i have this cook book on order and (as you may know) am a huge gp fan. based on what i’ve heard, her newest cookbook is all about a natural, organic and gluten free lifestyle which i try to adhere to myself | i picked up these sweet, tiny and delicate heart shaped earrings for myself at a local boutique, loft 82 and can’t take them off
call me nosy, but i love to see what a woman has in her handbag. we carry around the most practical, and impractical things, don’t we? the moment i see a blog spilling ‘what’s in the bag’, i click through to see if there’s something cool i need to know about! well, are you ready to see what’s in my brand spankin’ new 3.1 philip lim pashli? (not pictured, the handfuls of random lists and receipts)
