August Chill

In case you’re speculating about why covering myself in a sweater under the heat wave, I’d have to explain about Vancouver’s peculiar weather - which is unpredictable by the way. During the months of July and August, the morning sunlight streaming through the blinds might delude you into a false impression of today’s weather going to be sizzling. The morning dew carpet every surface they can reach to and the air is filled with all that too. Feel chilly slightly. Trust me, you would regret not taking a jacket with you. Just as you think the

whole day is going to be chilly, the boiling heat seizes the temperature in the afternoon. And I say Vancouverites are good at layering clothes anytime. And the reason for all that is that we are located further north from the Equator. Aside weather, the sweater suited up flawlessly with the woven skirt from Elizabeth and James, as well as those Steve Madden snake-effect pumps. The pumps from ShoeMe are undeniable (for those

online shopping enthusiasts, ShoeMe will be your new favourite as a heaven for shoes). The goal to wear a pair of high pumps is to elongate those normal human legs (yes, not talking about supermodels here). Opt for a wrap skirt that can zip up and down, both ways to be exact. Unzip the bottom up to above knee high for the optimists; or all the way to the highest thigh point for the venturers. There, we all have those days that we grow a few inches taller and feel like a model.
