Prada | Wes Anderson | Candy

I can never tell if these sorts of flicks are parody or pretension. 

Ah, mais la vie est la parodie, mon cheri. 

Needless to say, I like their suits, and it reminds me of Truffaut's Jules et Jim.

Prada, Roman Coppola and Wes Anderson team up for Candy L'Eau.

Annual Purge Yard Sale | Saturday June 8th

stacy reynaud

Coincidentally, I purged my closet last weekend, and our pal Rachel has decided to have a yard sale this weekend. It's a purge, so everything will be super cheap. I'm selling mainly clothes and some Danish stuff. We'll be set up by the West End Farmer's Market.

One - Two - Sold

You know the old 'truth', in the 'power of three', (my marketing instructor self speaking). Consumers love threes. Don't give us too many choices! Once you see something three times, act on it. Case in point, black cane rocking chairs. I was going to buy one for $50 from a lady in Kelowna two weeks ago but forgot, (the one above). Now in the last 24 hrs I find two saved on my computer.  Mom and Dad, are you coming down soon?

Tip of the Week - Iced Coffee

Put your left over morning's coffee in an ice cube tray in the freezer. The next time you have an iced coffee it won't get watered down with regular ice cubes.

A familiar pile of dirt - Another West Vancouver Home Demolition

Mansions of Vancouver Architect Dan White from bijouliving

  I'll give you a hint, I originally wrote about it in June 2010 and again in October 2011.  I wonder if I can get my hands on the blueprints now (West Vancouver City Hall wouldn't let me see them in 2010)?  Think the beautiful bird sanctuary of a front yard ended up in a Smithrite?  For more images, click one of the dates above.

My latest fix

You know me, I'm always getting into something! This time it's teak tables with tile tops circa early 1970s.

This makes me want to shoot one of me and my bff

It would be pretty hilarious.

Top Summer Colors for Men 2013

The thing about technology is that fashion is becoming faster and faster (note I did not say style). Back in January 2012, I did this post on men's colour trends for Spring | Summer 2013. These were just three of my favourites. View more of what Pantone picked over at their site, which, in fact, is a very resourceful piece of the Interwebs.

Did you pick up anything in these colours? I haven't bought anything for summer yet! Probably because we're only at highs of 14  - brrr.

I'll take the female version of the center outfit (not the shoes) in the last row for myself, hoping that the sweater is a silk-linen blend. Which wouldn't you turn down?

Pantone calls them Monaco Blue, Vibrant Orange and Sunflower
