My Good Friend, George.


Last night I went to George with a couple of my girlfriends. We had a few martini's (highly recommend the English Martini) and ate some good food. My weakness in life is Kobe beef - I love it! So when I saw a Kobe beef burger on the menu ... I was sold. It definitely was amazing but not as amazing as the Kobe meatballs at Glowbal.


I did a little bit of people watching (as per usual) and was trying to figure out what styles people wont let go of. My consensus... slouchy boots. Yup - slouchy boots! I thought OTK's and sleek leather below the knee boots would have taken over, but no, no they have not. I believe besides myself there was one other person in the place wearing non-slouchy boots.

I was slightly shocked. I mean Yaletown is probably one of Vancouver's most trendy areas and to see our waitress wearing black slouchy boots with a sleek black dress, was kind of weird. Then another lady was wearing a flouncy floral A-line skirt and a form fitting top with brown slouchy boots. hmmm... to each style is own. :)

Are slouchy boots still in style? What do you think?

There was a lot more men then women at the lounge and all the men were dressed very nicely. I am very picky with my men's dress shoes. I hate the men's shoes that look like elf shoes, you know the ones that go into a serious point and go up at the toe? They drive me crazy! but I do love a dapper looking guy in nice dress shoes. There was an older fellow last night that I kept staring at (not creepishly of course...). His outfit was perfect. He was wearing a black fitted blazer, a heather grey v-neck T, dark Joe's jeans, and very nice leather Salvatore Ferragamo shoes.

I don't think there is anything better then a man who knows how to dress. He doesn't have to be super fashionable but knows how to put together a simple outfit like jeans, a t-shirt, nice jacket and good sneakers. That's all it takes.

I should have taken a picture of the man to show you but for one I didn't want to be a weirdo and two I didn't want to interrupt his important conversation, but he was very James Bond looking even in his facial features. He reminded me of Daniel Craig. :)

This could possibly be a really creepy comment but I was at George last night. Are you a brunette and were with another brunette and a red head? cause I loved your boots!! and your shirt. Anyway, I also saw this James Bond man... he was Mr. Popular last night.

(so not being creepy! but I read your blog all the time and when you said you were there last night, I remember seeing a table of 3 girls and you had really cute boots)

Why yes I was Tracey! Thank you! My boots are A.Giannetti and well my hot pink top was just from H&M ;)

He was Mr. Popular and he looked very dapper! I liked it.

ps. I did not take this comment as creepy! you should have said "hi".

Good! I read this and was like OMG I think I know which one she was... since the upstairs wasn't open it was a pretty crammed place.
