Hullo everyone!
This is Zoë reporting from Lion Heart Vintage . When Emily asked me to do guest post emphasizing our mutual love of our hometown Vancouver, I was thrilled although somewhat daunted! Vancouver is not the biggest city in the world but it has a lot going on - beaches, mountains, farmland, citylife and urban sprawl. We get a lot of rain but it makes us appreciate the beautiful summers all the more. Like the landscape, Vancouver fashion is also diverse. Walking down a street like Commercial Drive (the most eclectic neighbourhood in East Van) you'll see every style under the sun: hippy, punk, goth, vintage, chic, business, slacker, hipster... and styles that can't be categorized. It's diverse and exciting enough to be constantly inspiring, yet quaint enough to feel like home. I think Emily and I both know how lucky we are to be from such a great place! If anyone is thinking of taking Emily's lead and traveling somewhere you've never been - why not start with Vancouver?
Outfit Details:
- Vintage Pear Print Dress from Deluxe Junk in Gastown
- Beige cardigan from Suzy Shier
- Vintage woven shoes from Value Village
- Thrifted vintage purse
This outfit was worn to my best friend's wedding rehearsal and I just love the fun, fruity print of the vintage dress. It's a fun alternative to the more traditional summer floral prints. And who doesn't love pears?
I hope you all have a lovely, sun-filled weekend and feel free to drop by Lion Heart Vintage anytime you please!
xoxo.

Thanks again, Zoë (and everyone, absolutely check her out). And, erm, thanks for giving me some acute pear print dress envy too!

Interesting post, I've never been to Vancouver! Love the pear print dress, just adorable x
Aw, yay! Fun series!
I love the pear print. I like sun dresses that are something other than floral, so this is a big hit for me. Vancouver sounds awesome.
I adore your mountains. So amazing. And this post was so cute, Vancouver sounds like an interesting place to visit. :)
You have a pear dress? I just wrote a post about my pear SKIRT, and now read this. Maybe i was pre-inspired?(does that even make sense?)
@Rebecca: I hear you. I'm pretty much floralled out, but fruit is a whole other ball game!
Pears would be a favorite of mine...cute dress. As for Vancouver, the one time I visited, I found it to be fabulously cosmopolitan...and on the edge of the wilderness. A fantastic combination to my midwestern way of thinking.
Wow, Vancouver sounds so delightful! I love how you describe that there is about any type of fashion style in there. I come from a hometown where almost everyone my age dresses the same, so it would nice to see some variety. And rain in the summer here is rare and probably seen as a curse, but I think is a great refresher especially in the warm months. :)

It looks like a beautiful city, I'd love to go there one day. I love Zoe's dress so much the print is so adorable and it is styled perfectly.
I've always wanted to visit Vancouver!

I totally have been wanting to visit Vancouver!! :D

I have always wanted to visit Vancouver.. I have been to other parts of Canada, but not there. So obsessed with the striped sandals/wedges or whatever they are hahah..
All the best, Angel
love the Pear-print dress and the photo with your sandals in the grass. so cute!
Oh, love the dress :)
No one but a rockin' style blogger could pull off a pear dress. ;) She looks lovely....and ahhhh, Vancouver. I SO want to go there. I've made it to Seattle, but not to Vancouver. It's on my travel wish-list.
I love this summer guest post series so far. Some how I forgot you were from Vancouver...duh no wonder your so well spoken, well read and intelligent. Not to say that all Vancouver natives are but just tells me a lot about you. Although I've never been seems like a place I could live in. This dress is so much fun and looking forward to more summer posts.
Thanks for this little peek at Vancouver. I've always imagined that when I venture out west to visit Oregon and Washington that I'd swing on up into BC, as well.
