Old hotels are some of the most hauntingly beautiful buildings. As Jb and I wandered the hallways of Victoria's Empress Hotel we pondered the question: how can a place that holds so much seem so empty?

  2. Lovely outfit (as always), I really like the drape of the coat.

    I have always wanted to stay at the Empress hotel, perhaps one day I will! Love the vibe of these photos, definitely get creepy empty hotel feelings...The wallpaper is really sweet, too!

    Merry Christmas!
