Street Style in Motion: Ben
I spotted Ben, film student from the UK studying in Vancouver for the summer, passing the sunny afternoon right by the local library. His very laid back take on ‘casual schooling’ is very appealing to me. I love how silent …

Socks, Socks and more Socks
I am obsessed with socks. I love colored socks. I love patterned socks. I love all socks. It is probably one of the most under-rated piece of accessories specially in menswear. We all wear socks all year round (or at …
Street Style in Motion: Girlfriends
[flv]http://littlefashionisto.com/wp-content/videos/ssim-girlfriends.f4v[/flv] It was very easy to spot these two young ladies as they stand out beautifully from the crowd. I’m very glad I convinced them to be on my blog because what they have on was fabulous. Don’t be fooled …

DIY Sean O’pry T-shirt
I de-stitched the neckline on this t-shirt and iron on this image of Sean O’pry, and then stretched it to get me a very loose and casual look. I shall be doing a tutorial on how to make this t-shirt …
Nature Boy
Mixing casual pieces with dressy ones. Still loving this vintage retro round-framed sunglasses. I usually get lazy to dress up in the summer because it usually gets too hot, but light t-shirt and sandals are good alternative to a long …
Limitation Sparks Creativity
Growing up, I’ve always been very artistic and I guess that translated to my choices in clothing. I have always been very particular, careful and yet still playful in combining pieces together. I like the idea of being different and …
Vintage Fix
Contrary to a lot of you might assume, I am not a shopaholic and I don’t really plan my shopping trips. My shopping days usually happen spontaneously. Like the other day, I was just passing by Granville Street and I …
Wearing my Face
Another look wearing my very own M’c kenneth t-shirt, which I am very proud of since more and more people seem to like to acquire it. The trouser was a baggy kid’s pants but I slimmed down the bottom to …
How to rock a wrinkled shirt
Vancouver weather is being a bit of a pain lately. I am so ready to just dive into summer and start wearing all my summer planned outfits, but the weather can still get pretty chilly — leaving me no option …
Colors, I love colors
Very strong color clashed together. I’ve always love the idea of a strong and bold pants — I think people should try and be more experimental with trousers because they usually get forgotten (majority tends to go very conservative and …
DIY tote
The DIY fake chanel tote is back. If you have been following my looks, you probably have seen it in many of my other looks before. I’ve been wearing this linen blazer a lot lately mainly because it’s the only …

Over the Bridge
It was summer yet still chilly yesterday. I walked over Cambie bridge to go downtown for my intern. Stop halfway through and took some photos, pretty interesting look and reactions from people passing by.
let’s play Prada
I love the fact that although, this was not entirely my styling, it somehow still has that littleFashionisto mark by having the flying scarf, mysterious in a way by having my face entirely covered. I was all packed to move …
a lil leopard
Another summer look!. The classic M’c kenneth look — silent and subtle with a strong kick on the leopard tie worn as belt =D
Shirt – Pants
Having a very tiny little legs can have some perks sometimes. Normal shirts are usually very big on me and would always end up altering them, even the sleeve to be slimmed down because it’s always big and bulky — …
Biker Prep
What happens when Biker + Preppy had a crash. If I were forced to get on a motorbike — this is how I would do it (missing the helmet though) an alternative way of incorporating leather to your spring wardrobe. …
The (denim) Flip
I thought I’d do a little casual this time. Very chill, skeleton sweater I got from last year, paired with gingham button up. Corky sailor/captain(?) hat, and the 80s acid washed denim, and the classic converse sneakers.
Vintage Military
My dad hand me down this awesome military blazer, but since I’m way too tiny to fit it.. it looks more like a coat/jacket than a blazer, which is totally fine with me — then my bff gave me this …
Sunset Blues
working as an intern from 9-5 everyday, I get home around 6pm and i might not have a nice sunlight beaming to do a shoot anymore, but I’ve got this gorgeous sunset going on behind me.

Just in case some of you were wondering about what I wore for the Vancouver Fashion Night Out yesterday night. I wasn’t going to wear the knit scarf but it was freezing out and this satin harem pants are very …
Fashion Night Out (in school)
Last night I dragged my bestfriend Mickelli and Nicole into the Fashion Night Out (in school) charity event. I am all for good cause, so when good cause meets fashion, I’m definitely there. I had a great time, and it …

Will you be my Valentine?
OH look! I’m smiling for ones. I just thought the whole ‘sad, serious’ face don’t go with this look… it’s such a happy outfit. I love the pop of colors everywhere. I had this shirt for the longest time, but …
Genie in a Bottle
ery simple look, yet i love the slight touch of studs on the belt. Nothing much to say, my mom commented on this look telling me I look like a genie — mom says the funniest thing about my outfits. …
Do it yourself Lanvin
I was so inspired by the Lanvin’s Bette Davis Tshirt but I can’t really afford a 600 euro tshirt…. so I thought I’d give it a shot. Everything was done by hand. my left eye was beaded. although it took a very long time, in the end it was all worth it =)
Silence and Dhotis
My good friend Mickelli made this dhotis pants for me. Super comfortable yet, still fashionable. Very basic styling, paired up with my mom’s vintage sweater and a tan jersey scarf. I heard that most guy like to wear dropcrotched pants …
Pin a bow tie
DIY pinned bowtie (as you may have seen on my other looks) very light in terms of styling. Love the shape on that jersey top. I got stared down when trying that on because — well it’s for girls, but …
