A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Tegan held her annual Summer Solstice party on her brand new patio at her home in North Vancouver. We were blessed with a little sunshine that evening, which added to the summery feeling of the event. Friends brought sangria, veggies, dips and goodies, as we gathered around several blankets and caught up on life. I love how Tory and Tegan painted their faces, and don't even get me started on Kelsey's amazingballz furball hat!
What I loved about this event was the simplicity of it: dress up in summer clothes, bring food suitable for a patio setting, bring wine or the likes, and come with an open attitude to meet new people and embrace summer's arrival.

Little did we know at the time, that this might have been our only summer's night.
Tegan's probably one of the most creative people I have ever met. Having graduated from Emily Carr last year, this girl is nothing but creative genius. Her print work is stunning and deep, and to own a print would be a dream of mine. She pours her heart and soul into everything that she does, and the result is always pure brilliance.
My favourite part of the evening was when Tory and Tegan surprised the guests with a rainfall of glow sticks and sparklers. Literally, we were all chatting below her balcony when we all of a sudden heard "SUMMER SOLSTICE!" and the sky was filled with a rainfall of glowsticks. The girls then came down with lighters and sparklers and we all had an illuminated three cheers for summer!

From bubbles to neon, glow sticks to sangria, regardless of what the weather may be in Vancouver these days, Tegan's Summer Solstice Party was hot hot hot and may actually be the best "summery" day of summer 2011.
Thanks, Tegs! x
