Lambswool Cowichan Sweater: THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY


Like a true slave of trendy fads, I have finally jumped on the Olympic bandwagon in the city and purchased myself some official 2010 Olympic gear from the Hudson’s Bay Company. I know, my fashion creditably just went down a couple notches on the scale of style but with the 2010 Winter Olympics celebrating in my beautiful home city of Vancouver in less than two weeks, I loyally had to show my pride somehow and I doubt strolling around with my Balenciaga Weekender and oversized sunglasses was going to cut it especially with so many athletes from around the world in town!

Okay sure, my intentions aren’t necessarily in full support of the games as it is to meet attractive foreigners, but hey can you imagine how lumberjack-edgy-fierce I’ll look in this lambswool cowichan sweater paired with some constructed Doc Martens, distressed jeans and a then bundled up with a chunky scarf? I’d make the perfect ski-bunny!

FAB! sure know how to attract those foreigners. But it looks a little bit 'itchy' or is it just me?
the scarf and the doc martens will do the rest i suppose.

Peter, my love,

I cannot believe YOU are wearing that. Supporting the Olympics too? SHAME. Hahah, just kidding darling, you are hot as always. Just had to express my hatred for those sweaters. I can't believe we actually had to learn about them, haha!

Love you and miss you
