The PNW is best known for continuous amounts of rain and trees, but this summer has brought a welcome break from the weather with this heat wave passing through. I am personally one for more overcast skies but I am taking full advantage of the sun kissed glow to my melanin that only summer (or a good highlight) can bring.


This Melrose & Market top is one of my favorite for a hot day. Paired with pencil skinny jeans and a textured bag. As much as I love the minimalist look I find time and time again I end up wearing patterns! I can’t seem to escape them (less and less do I want to)!
I love tops with a high neckline. I gives me a chance to keep my accessories simple.
When its time to cool down with something sweet I love to take a quick trip to downtown Vancouver and stop by Ice Cream Renaissance.

They have been open for years and though there are ice cream shops with more hype, Ice Cream Renaissance never disappoints. Freshly made, fun flavors and a chill family friendly atmosphere.



My favorite combo is the strawberries & cream and bitter sweet chocolate lover affair.

Ice Cream Renaissance is a great place to go with your family or friends to escape the heat and enjoy a Vancouver staple.
