A Day on Bowen

Happy Tuesday! It's always so hard to gt back to it after a long weekend and today is definitely no different. Ollie and I were trying to decide what to do for the 3 days, but couldn't make up our minds so in the end we stuck around Vancouver and did some of our favorite things!
On Sunday, we went to Bowen Island where neither of us had been before and decided to make of day of exploring this cute little island. We've both been wanting to check it out ever since we started dating, but for some reason never made the short ferry ride over there. I can see why people like it so much with its adorable little shops & cafes and some absolutely beautiful, untouched coastlines. We drove over, which is not at all necessary, but we were happy that we did because we could go and check out the beaches on the opposite side of the island. The tide was down so low that starfish and mussels were exposed all along the rocks and the starfish were actually purple! I had never seen a purple starfish before -- not something I would have expected on the west coast of Canada. We usually get more of the natural earth tones over here so it was pretty cool! I wore my new maxi dress that I found for $20 at Zara and I have a feeling this is going to be a favorite for the summer. I always seem to live in long comfy dresses once the weather warms up.

I hope you are having an amazing start to your week! xoxo
