Band Geeks are Cool
I used to be in Band in highschool, and although we were always labeled as ‘band geek’ we know we’re cool.
so this is how I dress down a strong band jacket/sweatshirt, gingham shirt and clubmaster… notice how I am also …
Elevated Burberry
The ever classic black trench coat, paired up with a nice pair of crisp ankle cropped trousers, cream blue shirts and a nude oxford shoes; quiet and subtle enough to go a little overboard with accessories. Multi stripped tie, and …
DIY: tote and t-shirt

Never gonna give you up
mixing 4 different shades of blue, patterns and textures. This is mainly one of those few times you can wear nude socks to compliment a very strong (and shiny) shoes — most of the time, nude socks usually end …
Dark Child
it was snowing in Vancouver yesterday and I wasn’t too inspired to do color, so I wore these (almost) all black ensemble.
I got that oversize plunging neckline from H&M women dept.. I thought the fabric flows great.. and it’ll look …
Leopard tie
So this is another take on ‘working with the leopard tie’ — who knew it would work well with a micro gingham shirt?
Safari Hunt
Here’s another look for my followers. Everyone has been complaining how ‘gay’ this tie is, and how (they say) it’s very hard to match it with things — I find it like any other pattern, and I treat it …

Hey Everyone!!!.. I hope you all had a great Holiday, this is another come back look. I am very sorry I can’t keep up with everyday look lately because of the holiday chaos, and I have few project on …

Got no love
I dug up this old D&G sweater I purchased 4years ago. Although I am aware that it is a bit big on me, who can say no to a sale D&G knit-denim sweater?
Marching to Moscow
Another look with the fur-y hat. I love the pop of color on that indigo trousers.
Baby it’s cold outside
It started snowing more in Vancouver today.. so the whole rooftop patio is covered with snow.

It has been very cold lately and I haven’t been so inspired to put a look together until today.

This look is inspired by the -shirt I got from GarconChic. It’s an architectural t-shirt of Eiffel tower. You guys should check them out

it’s been a very hectic last few weeks for me. apologies for the lack of posting. If you follow my blog, you would’ve notice I have been up to a lot of different things —- BUT I’m back now.. Here’s …
It get’s better
I was walking home the other day — and ran into a guy — in his late 20s or early 30s — who bluntly said “YOU’RE A FREAK” right into me face.
now that didn’t hit me till I was about …
Alex Folzi (2 of 3)
This next look I put together for Alex Folzi collab is meant to have a little bit of an urban and street wear mood to it — without loosing my personality. I want it to be contemporary and casual …
Alex Folzi (1 of 3)
I was contacted by the pair behind Alex Folzi regarding a potential fashion collaboration. Being a fashion enthusiast that I am, I was very honored to be selected among many other Canadian Fashion blogger. I get to pick which …
Walk with me in the city
I apologize for the lack of update, I’ve been EXTREMELY busy last week; didn’t realize how behind I am with school + I still have to work + my intern which turned into a job.
So here it is, my come …
Just the way you are
“Cause you’re amazing, just the way you are”
with all the negativity and insecurities I’ve had growing up; short skinny legs, being gay, having a slightly bigger nose, chinky eyes, thick lips — I’ve always told myself I can’t be anyone …
Fashion Pilot
Another look I put together (while trying on looks for an upcoming fashion event) I was going for more editorial look, ALTHOUGH I don’t see any reason not to wear this out. The main inspiration was Aviator chic.
I made …
Rehab
My dad used to be an alcoholic and doing this shoot was very nostalgic. Editing the film and photos were very emotional, I nearly cried looking at the final product.
I remember staying up all night, with my sis (a year …
Elevation
There was this girl in the airport.. in cute little full-pink outfit; pink dress, pink shoes, pink headband — she was looking at me as I walk across the hall with a tray in my hand; I overheard her say …
When I’m feeling basic
so this is when I’m a little under-dressed because the weather. It’s been raining mad crazy in Vancouver all day.
I killed the Messenger
So this is another look I put together. I found this cute owl statue-like in our patio (Which is at the moment, under construction, hence the dirt and mess everywhere)
and for some of you that are curious, I do my …
Satin-ribbon-shoelaces
another look from familiar pieces — you probably have seen them in my previous looks already. If you follow my blog, you know that I just moved out from home… so I am extremely broke so no shopping AT …
Velvet Berries
Back with another colorful look. We’re still getting a little bit of sun in Vancouver and I am trying to squeeze in wearing as much color as I can before winter comes.
Come Fly with Me, Let’s take off in the Blue
I have never been so restless in my life ever as these past few weeks. I have been out-and-about NON-STOP. I have been doing well in school in terms of tests and quizzes but the lectures are killing me. I …
Earth tones and fallen leaf.
just something I put together inspired by that leaf necklace my roomate has. The pocket square is actually a sunglasses case, which I literally just rolled and tucked into my pocket.
Black is Back (Gap contest)
I love this jeans because it’s plain, basic and neutral — meaning it goes with anything… it is slim fitted so it works well with my tiny little skinny legs (which I normally have trouble with)
The light colored stripped t-shirt …
Sailors come out at Night
Another look I didn’t have time to take a photo of in the morning when there is still sun… so I had to take a photo of it at night — at the same location as my previous look — …
Take me to the City
I came home pretty late from School, the buses were being too slow… I was pretty disappointed because there was no more sun when I got home… I missed a lookbook photo yesterday so I think it wouldn’t be too …
Last day of summer
I’ve put away my short shorts, tank tops, and bid summer farewell.
Here’s my take on early fall. Like always, the basic guide i usually go by — Neutral colors mashed up with big bold color (bright yellow) for perfect balance.
To …
Over accessorized
If there is something i love doing in the morning, it would be accessorizing. You can wear the most basic and plain piece of clothing but still make a statement by accessorizing.
It has to be done carefully though, or …
Back to School
I love school, not JUST because of learning but also, it’s another reason to be well-dressed. It is a place to learn and to look professional and neat (atleast to me)
I am wearing my Dad’s SUPER oversized shirt… It hillarious …
Neutrally Chic
I heard some random people say neutral colors are boring, and I took it as a challenge.. Neutrals are basic colors and they are easy to put together but that doesn’t they are boring…
3rd Look in a row using the …
Modern Sicilian
a slightly modified version of my previous look.
it’s way too hot in Vancouver these days and I’m too lazy to be dressing up. This is the easiest and most effortless look I can come up with.
(I wore something else in …
Retro print shirt & the red door.
Neutral color scheme were used but kept very interesting by retro print shirt and golden accents on the belt and watch. I didn’t have time to make a LookBook photoshoot of this look so I’m using this photo my …
The belt that made the outfit.
Men don’t often pay much attention to belts and what they can do as an accessory. Although they are usually considered as an essential piece of menswear, not a lot of men are experimenting with it (in the right …
mom’s pants
Sure you’ve heard about the ‘mom jeans’ before, but have you heard of the mom pajama pants? I found this pair of patterned trousers few years back in my mom’s closet. I’ve always thought it has a very …
Broken Hearted Boy
There I am, walking with my heart on my sleeve.
Vulnerable and weak, I weep
My heart shattered in pieces
Video LookBook 2010-06-09
This is very monochromatic, the most basic color scheme really. It is still a bit chilly in Vancouver although it’s supposed to be summer now. The brooch was a quick D.I.Y. — I do it when I feel like …
Mysteriously
I LOVE how neutral colors can still be VERY elegant and interesting. No Loud and big colors this time, but a very silent beige, white.. and the classic black…
mainly what keeps this look interesting is the accessorizing… goldwatch, silver-tie-chain, and …
so close
You’re in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on
For only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye
And never knew
So close with waiting
Waiting here …
Sssshhh… No one knows it’s fake.
I’ve used this bag several times already in my looks here, and here.
but it’s still amazes me how different the mood is in every look.
The string sandals were purchased 7yrs ago, and it still fits me ’till now. I almost …
a lil off
I was a little hesitant of the pocketsquare but I went with it anyways. I love the color scheme, it looks very artistically-eco friendly. Everyone seem to be a little puzzled with me using this shoe bag, but …
Want colors?
I’ve been very inspired by the sunshine lately… and the sunny weather makes me wanna go full on colors.
This has got to be the most versatile piece of accessory you could ever own. I wear it casually, dressy… i …

I put this look together few weeks back and I just never had much time to blog about it. I thought the colors are amazing; the gradient scarf, the bright pink top, and skinny maroon belt, paired up with a …
Fashion Rebel
Who says black can’t be for Spring.
I know this is a lil stretch for a *Spring Outfit* but it’s a good change, instead of the usual colors for spring… I’m breaking the rule and this is for all the fashion …
Chained and Studded
My sister has this old studded belt that has a broken buckle. She hasn’t been using it for the longest time but I don’t know why she held on to it till now. Back then I hated it, …
