Shades of Cool

It's the end of the week and I'm only now realizing that I will be leaving my beloved home city and country for the majority of this summer. While I'm excited to take such a long vacation from work, I've found saying goodbye to my closest friends has been quite bittersweet. Nevertheless, it has been a wonderful week filled with fun farewell dates with great people.

I'm always grateful for the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. This summer and past year has allowed me to make the acquaintance of many awesome Vancouverites from all walks of life. Among them was the very lovely (and Singaporean!) Roxanne. On our first girl date, we had lunch and had her talented friend Isaac Lim (also Singaporean) take pictures of us at Coal Harbour seawall. The following pictures were the result:

I was fortunate to enjoy several lovely get-togethers with this fun, fashionable gal before I became too busy with work and preparing for my trip (and hope to have many more). As well, my week has been packed full of brunch, lunch, happy hour and coffee dates with people who I will miss dearly when I'm gone in Asia. I am just so grateful for all the amazing people I know.

Have you had the opportunity to make new friends lately?

P.S. Did any Lana Del Rey fans pick up the song reference in my post title? Sorry, I'm just obsessed with her latest album!
