PLACES: Cafe Medina, Vancouver CANADA.

My new FAVOURITE thing about coming home to Vancouver…the Sunday Fabulous Crew Brunch.  Always such an inspiration hanging out with these peeps!!!  My one and only Jason Matlo took The Crew to Medina in Gastown.  Oh looord have mercy, it was OUT of this world!! The BEST brunch that I have EVER had in Vancouver.  We got the Jason Matlo rock star treatment and were whisked away to our own private throne of a table.  Perfection in a champagne bottle.  And if anyone was wondering, Jason asks for his mimosas without the orange juice 😉 Thank you Medina for the wonderful experience! -annatfabulous :*
