As part of the Genesis G90 luxury sedan launch, we traveled outside of Vancouver after our stay at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. We test drove the G90's powerful engine, with 3.3 (or optional 5.0) LTR twin-turbo V6/V8, through the winding, scenic roads of British Columbia. We stopped for coffee and treats along the way at the Owl Street Cafe, nestled high in the mountains. The 8-speed automatic transmission made the drive smooth. We had lunch at Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna, and toured their onsite barrel room and wine cellar. The G90's 22 way comfort settings, on the driver's seat, made driving the 250 plus miles an absolute breeze and gave my lower back support. It felt like I was seated in a recliner!

Is it time to transition to Fall clothing yet? Some touches can be added to your wardrobe to help you begin to switch over to the wintery seasons. The texture on this boxy top is great against the simple corduroy mini. What ever happened to corduroy? When I was a teenager, it was my absolute obsession. I still think you can't beat a pair of good cord flairs. I've got a Bohemian fashion streak in me, and fabrics like this and suede warm my fashion heart.
Mac Vamplify lip glosses are the brand new line of lip glosses from MAC. They're described as being "loaded with pigment" and "infused with color boosting technology." They contain lip conditioning oils that soften lips, (coconut and almond oil, as well as avocado and sesame oil). I was sent a few to test drive. The formula is not tacky but still has a gloss consistency. These wore longer on me than most glosses, but the color Acting on Impulse did feather and should be worn with a liner. It was also a bit patchy.
I fell in love with Vancouver when I had the opportunity to fly out and explore the city. I was lucky enough to go with the Genesis team(can't wait to tell you guys about that!) and soak in all of the sights for 10 days. Arrived back last night, on a very delayed flight, and was back at the office this morning.
Anyone that has ever traveled with me knows that two things are a sure bet: I will be anxious on the plane, and I will over pack. Tradition! I found that on this trip, I was able to get ready quickly in the mornings because I pre-planned my outfits (and also because I basically had my entire closet with me, so I was not lacking anything). Seriously, planning out your outfits before you leave town is a must. It streamlines everything.
Today, I'm sharing an easy vacation outfit that's comfortable and cute. I wore this while we rode bikes along the seawall at Stanley Park. I wore my comfiest jeans, the very best Sanuk Yoga Mat slides (like pillows for your feet), and grabbed a baseball cap to protect my skin from the sun.
My Instagram has some beautiful images of the scenery. Vancouver is absolutely gorgeous and a must-see city. Add it to your bucket list, ASAP.
