Spring has sprung. I just love the fresh scent in the air and all the blooming flowers, and what’s almost as wonderful? Spring shopping! I think it’s time to get outside and visit Gastown for their bi-annual Shop Hop, this Thursday, April 22nd from 5pm-9pm. What makes it even more fun? Complimentary beverages. Drinking, socializing and shopping locally – sign me up!

Obakki’s Spring 2010 line is elegant, refined and infinitely wearable. Designed and manufactured in Vancouver – season after season Obakki never disappoints. While the dresses from this collection may not be in my budget – I can recognize them for what they are – investment pieces. Dresses this beautiful can be worn season after season!
