How to Take the Most Out of a Cruise

Image
How to Take the Most Out of a Cruise By Potko Potev If you are on a cruise, you should know how to appreciate it and make the best out of it. You can do so by making yourself ready for fun activities on board of the cruise ship. Plan your activities onboard. Take the time to explore the cruise ship. Go and check out restaurants, bars, gym facilities, swimming pools and internet services. The walk along and inside the cruise ship is itself a wonderful travel and you would be amazed that this is a one-in-all venue that you can enjoy. Check out the activities on the cruise ship. You can ask the information desk for the activity list so you can sign up for fun activities that you like to do on a daily basis and for the entire trip. Try to be adventurous and enjoy everything on your cruise. Have a great gourmet dinner in a restaurant or have it on the deck if you wish, go watch a live show Broadway-style or watch concerts. You can play bingo or go to the casino. You can go swimming, have a ...

Le début des fêtes

{The beginning of the Holidays} For those of you that are new to this blog, I work for Kensie as a Merchandiser/Buyer. I've been working for them for the last 5 years as I started when I was living in Vancouver. I moved to New York two years ago in order to continue working for them and am now focused on the retail operations as well as our new e-commerce venture. (That's right, you can now find them online). Like I mentioned in my last post, every year they fly everyone in for the annual Holiday party. This year, it was held at Lupo Restaurant located in fancy Yaletown. Here are a few pictures from the night. Karen and myself. You probably recognize Karen from other Kensie events that I've posted as she works in the NY office with me. Tracy, Nikki and Dina, all looking great in Grey. I'm wearing: top & necklace from H&M; jumper from Beacon's closet. The ladies dancin' like there's nobody lookin'. Pretty ladies Aisha, Dina, & Kathryn I flew ...

Un peu de Vancouver

{A little bit of Vancouver} As you know I'm in Vancouver this week. It's that time of year when Kensie throws their annual Holiday party , which is tonight. I haven't been able to take any outfit pictures while here so I thought I'd share a few favorite pictures that I have saved on my computer of Vancouver. The tree at English Bay. Every year it gets strung with lights and on Christmas/New Years you can catch some carollers gathered around it. This picture was taken a few years ago on New Years day. The Silvia Hotel. This hotel is so beautiful and is located right by Stanley Park.  You can catch a beautiful view of the ocean from their bar/lounge area. The perfect thing to do before heading out for a bike ride around the park. The Vancouver Public Library. The architecture is simply amazing on its own. Silly me in front of the VPL. My friend Kelsea and I (she's going to die when she sees this) in front of the Terry Fox memorial right by BC Place. I hope to get bac...

Holiday parties: Throughout the years

Image
Last Wednesday night in Vancouver, I attended the annual kensie Holiday party. It was held at The Alibi Room in Gastown which I hadn't been in a really long while. If you live in Vancouver I'd definitely recommend it! It has a really great atmosphere and seems open to accomodate large groups of people. I decided to pull out my McQueen for Target dress that I bought last Spring..hmm, was it spring? I'm not sure anymore anywho, I'd only worn once to my brother's wedding last April so I thought one more time! Aside from this dress being the most fantastic shape and design, the pièce de resistance were definitely my shoes!! Remember way back when in June when I posted about sending my Seychelles to my brother , well guess you just got them back! They are even better than what I expected and I couldn't wait to wear them. With this being my 5th kensie holiday party I dug deep within my picture archives to find the past outfits I've worn at this annual shin-dig. Un...

Walking the line

I'm going to be quite the busy bee these upcoming weeks. I realize that I rarely share what's going on in my life and I'll try to rectify that as to keep you all in the loop (especially since my family reads this on the regular and I'm sure they wonder what I'm up to). I had the last two nights to do some random housework, like dishes, groceries and laundry. I've also been trying to keep up with two of my favorite tv shows right now, Dexter and Mad Men but not having cable means waiting to download which keeps me a little behind. Today I've been invited by the lovely people at Seychelles & BC Footwear to catch a sneak peek of their SS10 line. I'm quite excited as well as flattered to be asked to attend. As you might have seen in previous post here , here and here , I'm in love with my Seychelles Architectural heels (so much that I have them in two colors). I think the type of shoes that they make is perfect for the NYC-er as they're both fu...
