oceanic

So these are the unedited products of possibly the most beautiful sunset I have ever witnessed. One of the best things about living on Burnaby Mountain is that there are days where it's super cloudy in Vancouver but up here its totally clear. The oceanic waves in the clouds are something I've never seen before in real life and it was unbelievable to watch.

paradise

I got a telephoto lens for my camera for Christmas and I haven't really got an opportunity to use it until today when I decided to go to Burnaby Mountain Park by my dorm. The top pictures are of Burrard Inlet facing north. The last three are of downtown Vancouver; the second of the three is of Burrard Inlet facing west and with the Lions Gate Bridge and the third with Hastings Street in the foreground.

coming home

So apparently university is time consuming, just to state the obvious. That's the reason I haven't been posting lately. Here is my collection from when I went back home for Winter Break. They're mostly from Canmore, which as you can see is absolutely gorgeous in the winter. It was -25 the entire time I was there so I couldn't stay out for very long to take more pictures, but I am happy with how these came out.

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just finished my 7th midterm in one month yesterday so I decided I needed to take some pictures ASAP. Because of where Vancouver is in the Pacific time-zone, it gets really dark here early, so I took these as soon as I could after class. These pictures were taken between 4:30 and 5:00 pm. The twilight actually made for some amazing lighting, especially with the fog further in the distance of the last two. I love the lookout from Burnaby Mountain Park and the last two pictures are of Burrard Inlet and Downtown Vancouver. Feel free to comment!!

mountain sound

So my school is on a mountain, and therefore all the buildings are built at different heights. I finally found out how to get onto the roof of this one building which overlooks the north side of Burrard Inlet. It snowed over night just at the higher altitudes on the mountains in the distance, which was beautiful in the background of the green, red and yellow trees here. The second picture is from Saturday when I also went to Stanley Park and took some pictures there! (more at www.fashion-lesscity.tumblr.com)
Anyways, I went thrifting on Friday and found 3 amazing sweaters for under $10 each. This one is my favourite because it has earth tones in it, of course. I also went to the newly opened Topshop in Pacific Center downtown on Saturday and got a few things, plus this free hat! I hope everyone likes it, and feel free to comment and let me know your thoughts!

three angles, one sunset

I couldn't even believe how gorgeous the sunset was tonight. The fall colours and the sun against the clouds created surreal colour combinations. The first picture is facing west-southwest, the second facing south, and the third facing northwest (out my dorm window), which gives an all around feel to the different angles of the sun.

I think of timing all the time

First things first, Ellie Goulding's new album came out, and although its not all that I had hoped for, it's still worth a listen! Secondly, winter has arrived in Vancouver and, although it hasn't begun to rain quite yet, I have been living completely engulfed in the clouds the past 3 days (as you can see by the top picture).
As the weather has become significantly colder and more damp, I have been bundling up the past few days, and yesterdays look I was particularly fond of. I need to buy more think socks because they are so comfy and warm in my combat boots. As well, this scarf is my absolute favourite thing right now because of how think, soft, and warm it is...not to mention that it is also has a very fall pallet. I wanted that to be the focal point, so I purposely dressed in mostly black and grey to make the pumpkin and cranberry pop. The fact that I'm wearing this little colour is in fact an anomaly in my dressing habits. Check back soon for more looks!
