VANCOUVER STREETSTYLE: Lumberjack plaid top + Puffy = this coat, Robson

I love this puffy coat because it has the best of both worlds... the red, white and black plaid to compliment the dark denim and the puff to defend him from the cold weather. Thank you also, for not wearing the typical Vancouver uniform: the puffy black North Face jacket :p

VANCOUVER STREETSTYLE: Winter Puffy Jackets can still be chic. Just add a belt., Robson

In the past few days, Vancouver has been showered with both snow and sunshine. How are you dressing to cope with the weather?

TBF FASHION INSPIRATION: Okay fine but I'm not spending more than $20

I am so NOT one to go shopping for secondhand clothes (I know, I'm horrible) but I am going to give it a (second) try and go VV/Consignment store shopping with my BFF (maybe tomorrow?). My hope is to find colorful blazers with gold buttons like the one shown above. A red, pink or teal one would be amazing. If I walk away with nothing, I'd be okay with that too :p

TBF SHOPS: ASOS on my mind

When asos launched one of their many promotions/contests on Facebook last week, I found myself obsessing a couple of items on their site. The only reasons I haven't actually purchased these things online are 1) I made a vow not to shop this year (HA!) 2) I'm scared of being charged a crap load for customs fees upon pick up at the post office and 3) I'm broke as a joke (surprise surprise!).

Somebody please tell me it's okay to buy these 2 items.
