Taking the U-Bahn
I’ve landed in Deutschland! Although I’m still experiencing major jet-lag, everything has been great so far. Going to bed at 8am and waking up at 4pm isn’t very ideal, but the weather lately made it very easy to stay …

Turning tables
I love love love this song, and I’ve listened to it many times, way too many — but something happened and I’ve stopped listening to it, not only this song but sadly, the full album (ADELE – 21).
I love how …

Denim and Leather
Here’s my attempt to somewhat look a like a straight man, obviously, it didn’t work. I have not worn this Jogg Jeans from Diesel since summer and I thought I would build this whole outfit around it.

Dear rainbowbits and argyle knitted sweater: I am very sorry Amaly could not keep you. She had told me a lot of good things about you, so sure I would love you. I am very glad we …

A.D.F.M. Media Launch Party
Arts, Design, Music, and Fashion — these are the four main ingredients for Canada’s newest online modern lifestyle boutique, the ADFM store.

Meanwhile, I’m starting to regain …

Leather and Bullet
So the rainy season have started in Vancouver, and this is one of those “bundle up and keep warm” outfit I can’t get away with. Lord knows how many times I’ve compromised comfort/health over satisfying my fashion-conscience but sometimes you …
Saturday Night
After a very uneventful Friday night for me, I decided I deserve to go out and have a little fun so as planned, I went out for a quick drink with the girls.
My friend Kristina has this super cute little …
Illusion
You know I always tip-toe when taking photos to elongate myself, but with theses shoes from Doc Martens, they allow me to stand on my toes longer. It’s got a very hard exterior that can somehow with stand my weight. …
Styling Tyra Banks
I was watching America’s Next Top Model All Star last night (like always, I try not to miss any episode, every season). I nearly fell off my chair when I saw Tyra’s outfit for the judging panel.
Josh and Kazuki

Ding dong! it’s Amaly and Me
Photo taken by a very talented local photographer, Peter Jensen during Vancouver Eco Fashion Week. I look tired and exhausted, no? truth is, I was really tired and restless that day. I specially love Amaly’s outfit here (don’t mind …

You will also find the reference look Ryan used to illustrate …
Back to Prep
I haven’t really worn a shirt + V-neck sweater combo in a while. Although this look is a little preppy, it has a very sort of unpredictable-preppy quality to it. With the clear round-framed glasses + the leather …
The Global Party x littleFashionisto
I know it’s a little late but remember that invitation I got for The Global Party?
With 80 parties around the world all happening within 24 hours, The Global Party is definitely “THE” party to remember. Held at the Opus …
Black
As plain as just a simple black outfit, but like that “little black dress’ for the ladies, I think this look is strong edgy. Simple color story and clean lines and detailing can be a great backdrop for amazing …

Denim on Denim for Fall
You have seen me do denim + denim in the summer, so here’s rendition of the idea for fall. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I am in love with these round-inventor’s sunglasses. I love it’s gold …
Mom’s Pajama Pants
I love the simplicity and corky-ness of this look. Basic and classic but fun was injected by my mom’s pajama pants.
Double Breasted
I used to always think double-breasted blazers would never work for me. I just simply assume they are meant to be for older gentleman. I also do not like the possibility of my shoulder to appear wider. …
VancouverView Magazine
The current issue of VancouverView Magazine is out, featuring Vancouver’s local Personal Style Bloggers, including myself.
Zara Metrotown: remodeled
I was running errands after work yesterday and I thought I’d pop by the newly renovated Zara in Metrotown Mall. With a lot buzz and hype it’s making, I thought it was worth checking it out.
When you first walk …
First day of Fall
Minimal & Neutral with lots of texture. I feel like yesterday was officially the first day of Fall, although it’s upsetting that summer is over — I’m pretty excited to layer and bulk up again — lazy cold days …
The Gap
This look is basically the same as my previous one, obviously without the second shirt worn as skirt.
I’m always very confident of what I wear BUT SOMETIMES, there are ‘dingy’ area of Vancouver, where the possibility of me getting gay-bashed …
Shirt + Skirt
I have seen a lot of girls do this “shirt-worn-skirt” lately so I thought I should give it a try.

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Friday! Just before the weekend starts, here’s another online feature I got recently. I did a mini-interview with the Neverlazy Magazine. I hope I’m making you proud. Thanks for all the support …
Woven Oxford
Another look before summer is finally over. Casual with slight hint of being dressy. I love how the look was elevated by the linen blazer and the woven oxford.
The Global Party
I came home sometime last week with a box sitting on my desk. It didn’t have a return address so I was a little puzzled at first. It turned out, it’s an exclusive invitation to The Global Party …
Neutral but not boring
Neutrals don’t have to be boring. There’s are many other aspects of an outfit you can play with; throw in your vintage piece, play with texture (braided leather belt and a slight touch of leather)
The first time I got these …
Paisley and Mustard
With the weather slightly cooling down, this linen blazer is great to keep you stylish during the day and warm at night. I picked a classic V-neck t-shirt for a clean simple look, playing with bold color on the mustard …

Before the Summer ends
Nicole and I went out yesterday for a stroll down by the beach (English Bay). Summer is coming to an end and we just wanted to enjoy as much sunny days as we can before the cold comes. …
Pedestrian
Just before summer ends, here’s another look. It has gotten way too hot even a linen blazer wasn’t very ideal, so I had to strip the blazer off, but then I thought the look was too plain, so I …
Rocking Leopard
This is how I would rock a leopard shirt and an eskuché headphone. I love the juxtaposition of casual pieces, such as the denim vest and the studded belt — paired up with the patent leather brogues and the loud …
Sean O
I know this might look like a sick obsession but I’m human and I’m allowed to have crushes (aahihihiih). My all time male-model crush, Sean O’pry, did another campaign for Zara Menswear’s Fall collection — and I couldn’t help …
Accessories for Men; bracelet
Accessories are often forgotten in Menswear when in fact, it’s one of the best thing menswear has to offer. Besides from tie and tie clips, there are many other option men can separate themselves from their next door office mate.

3rd Floor
I was leaving work today and since the studio is on the 6th floor, I have to take the elevator numerous times a day. It has been a habit of mine to sing-my-heart out when alone in every elevator …
Knits on Sale
It’s mid-august and I am buying knits like crazy. Summer this year is a bit disappointing. I haven’t even really worn half of the clothes I planed to wear this summer and fall is already on its way. …
