Work has been full of field trips lately. I feel like I’m back in Grade 2 and I love it!

Darren and I went out to the bowels of Burnaby to visit our brand new DC. We had an extensive tour, met the team that picks and packs and manages to comprehend our orders, and even saw a groove pant go from measly order screen to a shiny new UPS box.

Our trip was seriously the glamest warehouse experience I’ve ever had. It may have had something to do with the fact that I wore BCBG gold toed stacked heels rather than steel toed warehouse boots, but who’s counting?

Later that day Nic and I ventured off to the Robson store. We made a grand entrance by breaking their incense burner, but it was smooth sailing from there. We were the resident paparazzi that day - snapping product and store images to use wildly later on. Yet again I was impressed with how friendly everyone was, and how much we managed to learn in just a few short hours.

Post lulu we headed to Tiffany’s to visit Nic’s uncle and try on big shiny diamonds. It was clear that anything over $75,000 just looks fake. We got to go in the special room and try on the most expensive of expensive rocks. I learned that Nicole knows everything there is to know about diamonds - she rattled off details like she was Cecil Rhodes!

We also went on a hunt to find Nic a dress for Barb’s wedding. I lucked into a beautiful cobalt Robert Rodriguez piece at Holts - so my wedding ware worries are over. But Nic’s off to Florida for work in mere days and has to have her summer wedding attire in place before she departs! I like our version of stress these days.
