I stayed at brand new Watermark Beach Resort that’s bigger than my own apartment.

My partner in crime for the weekend, Erin Ireland, and I about to step into our go-to transportation, a yellow school bus. We felt like school girls all over again.

Some of the crowd’s most fashionable, including ET Canada’s Erin Cebula (top left) and a fierce woman rockin an umbrella.

Heading to the Nota Bene Release Party at Black Hills Estate Winery, owned by 90210’s hunky star Jason Priestly.

No, this is not Vegas. It’s the Walnut Beach Resort.

Steven Page, ex-frontman of the Barenaked Ladies, played some old favourites to a lucky bunch as we eat dinner and sipped on local wine. I was filming from my table, so please don’t mind the random people that get in the way. He sounded amazing and wanted to share these three great songs that I’m sure are your old faves too. Brings me back to my teens. A weekend highlight for me.

There was no way I was leaving without stopping off at a few wineries, especially Road 13. They have tasty chardonnay that’s perfect for a summer patio.

Summer came early for me  a few weeks ago in desert wine country Osoyoos. At 30 degrees, the Osoyoos Celebrity Wine Festival was packed with more fun than I’ve had in a long time. Being only 5 hours outside of Vancouver and almost guaranteed to be hot and sunny, it’s the perfect spot for a summer getaway.

Jenn Heil is a women of many talents. Having won a silver medal in freestyle moguls last week, she’s also designed an exclusive collection for Birks, the official supplier of jewellery to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Fiona Forbes hosted the Birks event, held at its flagship store downtown, that was filled with media, fashion editors, bloggers and PR gals. Traditionally, not my first choice for trendy accessories, I’ve recently changed my mind since seeing Jenn Heil’s sterling silver pieces. I’m heading back this weekend to pick up the bangles and stacked rings. You should too, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. From $95.
