Beefy Beef Noodle

I went into Vancouver on Saturday to spend the day with IG. It was a much-needed trip as I haven't been over to Vancouver since April and I needed some serious girl time.

It was a great day, we had breakfast and coffee on Commercial, then headed over to Main Street for some shopping. IG gave me a gift certificate to Front, a super cool consignment/new clothing store. I bought a new dress and a much-needed neutral cardigan sweater.

We also visited Voltage, which is a fun store to poke through. A few months ago I visited Rawbean and we hit Voltage where I bought a Yummy Breakfast keychain. They are sold as blind assortments - meaning you pick from a couple dozen identical boxes, not knowing which character you will get until you open it up.


I got the coffee when I was with Rawbean and this time I got the pizza. Can you handle them? I can't.

I miss stores/restaurants like this one that I saw on Main Street:Beefy Beef Noodle? So awesome.

Anyway, we finished off our day with a visit to my old 'hood where I showed IG the super-secret walk from West 7th down to the sea wall.
We got some cheap sushi dinner - seriously my dinner cost me $7. I miss those restaurants, although I haven't given up searching for one in Victoria yet.

I know being away from Vancouver isn't easy, but your little visits give you that dose of great times and places, which means it's never far far away. Such an awesome visit lady, and don't be jealous that I'm going to be living near Beefy Beef... double beef smell not so good.

That's a super cute dress! Neutral cardigans are wardrobe essentials. I love cardigans of all kinds. Cheap sushi rules, too.
