Fall In Whistler: Our Family Getaway
To Vogue or Bust
by Alexandra Grant
5M ago
Whistler has always been one of our special places – such a perfect sanctuary away from the daily grind here in Vancouver. We’ve been up in the fall a couple times with Cal, but this time was an even richer experience with his toddler-level energy and boundless curiosity. From exploring a new suite (or “home,” as he called our suite), taking in the fall foliage, experiencing a nearby museum or soaking in the amenities at our hotel, it was like seeing everything anew through his perspective. We returned to the Pan Pacific Whistler again, and it was such a dream. I stayed there previously in t ..read more

Navigating Vancouver Real Estate: Ask An Expert

If you didn’t catch my latest post, then I’m very excited to share that we bought our first ever home recently! We were in the market for over a year, and with truly the most insane market conditions at that. Living in Vancouver, the price of our homes is insane, and the competition is equally if not even more crazy. Having a really strong support system of experts is so important on a house hunt journey to help you navigate this exact insanity, and to also help you feel as secure as you can with such an emotional and huge investment for you and your family. I’m beyond excited to have one of ..read more

Buying Our First Home

10M ago
I know this is going to sound dramatic, but to say I’ve been dreeeeaming about the day that I can finally type in that title to a blog post draft would be a huge understatement. But yes, today is the day!!! And I can finally share that after over a year searching, of spending almost every weekend towing our toddler around to open house after open house and shedding quite a few tears over various upsets, misses or general frustration with the Vancouver market in general, I can at long last say…we bought our first home!!! We have bought a townhouse in North Vancouver near the Lower Lonsdale ar ..read more

Summer Swimwear Roundup
To Vogue or Bust

Our bodies are always on a journey with us, evolving through changes, life chapters, and even our relationships to them and how we nourish/treat them. Since finding out I was pregnant a couple years ago, my body has been on a beautiful but also at times challenging journey. Physically, I was really lucky that pregnancy and labour treated me pretty well…barring a few things and aches or pains (and, you know, pushing a baby out), I mostly had a pretty smooth ride with both. But watching my body change and the realities of those early postpartum days (and the physical trauma that even a very sm ..read more

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, it’s probably pretty obvious…I’m a summer girl. I’ve found a way to love winter, I love the special beauty of both fall and spring, but I come alive the most in summer. The space and time that the long days give us to do all our hearts desire (whether that’s reading a whole book in a day or biking home from a late dinner out with friends with the sun still setting), the warm temps and breezy wardrobe, the ocean dips and general feeling that it’s time to let go and relax…it’s just when I feel the most whole, happy and myself. Naturally, I try to o ..read more

Our Whistler Family Getaway
To Vogue or Bust

I feel like the last couple of years have almost been like a time vortex in a way—it doesn’t really feel like over two years have elapsed since COVID started and all our lives changed forever, does it? And yet while time seemed to speed by in so many ways (and so much changed for me personally as well, aka Callum), it’s like so much of life was on pause so time also somehow felt suspended…so many things that I had done leading up to COVID feel like they had *just* happened, specifically with travel. One thing I was waiting on was not only bigger international trips (planning some for this ye ..read more

Life Lately

It’s so funny just how life changes. How you can look back over such a short period of time (in my case, the last couple of years) and so, so much can change. I feel like I’ve gone through such tremendous personal and circumstantial changes and growth over the last couple of years and I’m currently entering what feels like a really exciting, new stage of life and now that things are coming up soon, I wanted to share some of my updates before they all start up! First of all…after years (I think 7 or 8 at this point?) of doing To Vogue or Bust full-time…I got a new job!!! And I honestly could ..read more

7 Reasons Why You Should Visit Ireland

We’re currently in the middle of a bunch of life changes (not a baby though, just in case that’s what you were thinking!) so for juuuuust a little bit longer, we have to hold off on any major trips…but that hasn’t stopped me from planning out the next one as soon as we can jet off again or from dreaming about my favourite past destinations. And there isn’t a former destination that I love more than Ireland…in fact, I’ve been there so many times, when I go through customs in Dublin, I always get a laugh or comment about the amount of stamps I have in my passport. I’m lucky that one of my best ..read more

I’m so excited to share that my Film Preset (designed for Lightroom mobile) is now live! This Lightroom preset is a light and airy preset that emulates the feel of film in one click.

16 Essential Tips For Travel With a Baby

I don’t want to jinx it, but does anyone else feel this growing & hopeful sense that things are starting to change for the better? Lately, I just get this sense that we’re slowly but steadily shifting from a pandemic to an endemic and honestly, nothing could make me happier. Having a baby during the last two years has been challenging in so many different ways, but one thing that actually really affected me (more than I was anticipating) was just not being able to travel as extensively as I wanted with him. At the end of the day, we’ve made it through this pandemic thus far safe and sound ..read more
