I didn’t have time to take too many photos while we were back home for a visit, but I still wanted to share a few of my favourite shots from our trip with all of you.
Aside from a lot of visiting, I did some vintage “shopping” in my mom’s closet and mother-in-law’s jewelry box while I was away. I have lots of new-to-me things I can’t wait to show you all next week. I’ve been back home for a few days now, and there has already been lots of excitement. On Tuesday evening, I met up with a group of amazing Vancouver bloggers for dinner at Cobre, which might be my favourite place to eat in all of Vancouver. The company was pretty great, too 🙂 Happy Thursday, my darlings.

  1. These are gorgeous Cee, and I must say, perfectly timed! I'm currently squeezing in a little bit of blog surfing before scooting down to YVR to catch my flight there!
    It's always so strange when you realize that your “home”, really isn't your home anymore (yes, I'm commenting on 2 posts at once!) I've found recently that I'm referring to both MB and BC as home. Very confusing!
    And you better believe that I am SO excited for my own kitty (and puppy!) love, there's nothing better than seeing the furry friends that you grew up with!
    AND seriously, love love love your CM dress that you wore to your friends wedding, stunning! But really, I don't think there's anything that they come out with that I don't fall head over heels for!
    It was so wonderful seeing you again the other night, I'm so glad to have met you Cee, you're such a sweetheart! xx

    p.s WOW sorry for the novel!

    Had so much fun on Tuesday, so lovely to see you, glad you were back in time to make it 😉

  14. Your dress is gorgeous- both the wedding one and the reddish one!!!! Love it!!! We had a candy bar at our wedding in addition to an entire sweets table of cupcakes and wedding cake… an ode to my ridiculous sweet tooth. It was a HUGE hit and I barely saw any of it 🙂

  15. gorgeous shots! what an exciting series of events! 🙂

  16. Sounds like so much fun! Friends and family are what it's all about!

    Gorgeous pictures. Looks like a great trip. I love the white dress you're wearing and the kitty is so cute.

  19. Jen says:

    Great pictures, Cee! You look like you had a lot of fun and I don't usually like cats, but can't resist how adorable you and Gabe look in the last photo! And I definitely want a candy bar when I get married, too. Yay for a sweet tooth!

    By the way, those Aldo shoes are actually remarkably comfortable for how high they are. They are leather (I believe the upper as well as the sole), so that definitely helps! I tend to stay away from anything that's synthetic because my feet are sensitive to pain.

    Have a great weekend Cee! Did you get my email reply btw?

    You guys look so handsome together! And I love how you look so chic and elegant, like you were dropped in from Paris into these photos. I wish I could do that.

    And horses!!!

    {Waiting for the storm, stress eating delicious toffee cookies. So far not so bad -knock on wood- but they said we might be out of power for 4 days come Sunday…}
