I've been a fan of Burt's Bees for years and have even featured a few of their products on my blog (see my reviews of their Pore Refining Scrub and Tinted Lip Balm) so I was excited to hear about the recent launch of their new line, güd.
The full collection includes all the bath and body products you can think of (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body butter, body lotion, body mist, foaming hand wash, and hand cream) in 4 different scents: Floral Cherrynova, Orange Petalooza, Vanilla Flame, and Pearanormal Activity.
I was sent a sampling of all 4 scents to try out and here are my thoughts...
Floral Cherrynova: Cherry Blossom & Almond Milk. A very floral scent, quite feminine and definitely smells like cherry blossoms. My least favourite but that's because I don't tend to like florals.
Orange Petalooza: Blood Orange Flower. My favourite! Smells like a zingy citrus, very refreshing and crisp.
Vanilla Flame: Vanilla & Rice Milk. I always love vanilla scents and this one is warm and sweet. In my opinion, it's not as special as some of the other scents in this collection, but still very nice.
Pearanormal Activity: Pear & Acai Berry. Not quite a full-on pear scent due to the acai berry but very fruity and energizing. This is my second favourite after Orange Petalooza.
As you can see, there is definitely a scent to suit all tastes and what I love is how long-lasting they are. After slathering on the body lotion, for example, I can still smell it hours later. Furthermore, none of the products are tested on animals and contain no parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals.
Unfortunately the line only seems to be available in the US right now but hopefully it will make its way to Canada (and internationally) soon.

RE-CAP: #VanBloggerSale
Necklace: House of Harlow 1960 (here) / Ring: Michael Kors (here)
Not gonna lie, when I arrived at The Waldorf to set up and saw that there was a already a line-up to get in, I started to get pretty anxious. But it seemed like everything went off without a hitch!
Kudos to Cee and Alicia for organizing the whole thing - you girls are superstars! And major thanks to everyone who came out to the event!
P.S. Thanks to Leonie for taking my outfit photos. Some photos also via Randa, Monika and Cee's husband, Ian.
The much-anticipated Vancouver Fashion Blogger Clothing Sale was this past Saturday! I had a ton of fun meeting all the shoppers (there are so many fashion-forward people here in Vancouver), checking out what the other girls were selling, and manning my own booth with the lovely Randa.

A Tuxedo Blazer
Despite how versatile this cropped tuxedo-style blazer seemed in the store (it's black and white... seriously, what doesn't go with those two colours?), I'd been having the hardest time figuring out how to style it. It finally occurred to me to try pairing this as-yet-unworn blazer with the similarly as-yet-unworn chain print dress (we all know how much I love chain print) that's been sitting in my closet for months just waiting to be worn. Faith in this blazer's possibilities has now been renewed - phew!
