Chapters <3

I used to always think that CHAPTERS is for big geeks, I believe you call them bookworm, who loves to read and read all the time — about smart things, but then I realized, they don’t just have boring books and encyclopedias, they have everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. I now religiously drag myself to [...]

Spring Fever.

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 linen blazer and a light beige trouser. although I don’t remember the exact date now, [...]

not-so-chic

in pajamas, long tshirt, a hoodie and socks with sandals, there i was, a walking fashion faux paux… strutting my way to the emergency room, everyone looked.. and grinned, or maybe even laughed, but I didn’t care. who else do you know can do a runway walk with a Nuri virus in their system? a [...]

Drop-croch sweatpants.

I got these drop-crotched-kids’ sweatpants today for $19.90 — I’ve been waiting for these for a while now, I knew they’d have it for kids as well. Kids these day ei, very spoiled and fashionable, where I grew up wearing MickeyMouse Tshirts, Spiderman and DonaldDuck… with colorful socks and a shoes that lights up as [...]

Chanel Fall/Winter 2010/11

I LOVE everything about this video ad. I thought it’s a very fresh approach for Chanel. Just when I thought they can no longer outdo their line… here they are, coming up with something magical, something that’s truly inspiring.

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 rebel out there… “it is not what you wear, but it is how you [...]

If you have to cry, go outside

I bought this book today and I was very tempted to read it, unfortunately, school is still full blasts — despite the fact that it is the last day tomorrow — I still have 3 big projects/homeworks due and a separate contract project. But since I don’t want this to be a ‘nagging’ post, here [...]

I feel it in my bones.

Kalena’s

I just discovered this wonderful place around Broadway and Victoria Drive, All Italian-made leather shoes and they carry size 38, which is a size 5! and for me, that’s a blessing. I never able to find shoes my size and if I do, the style is always not something I’d want to be spending a [...]

Fashionably Discovered

I was spotted today by a fellow Fashion Blogger Hailey. Being a person behind that lens (for Fashion604) and chasing people on the street to convince them for a photo is so different from being the ONE admired. It was a great pleasure to be noticed and recognized. I was just about to cross Robson [...]

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, and I thought it was horrible because the only people who wear them in Vancouver are Rockers, [...]

Paint me.

This remind you of Alexander McQueen Mens spring/summer 2010. I think I need to find a painting job during the summer and wear my white jeans as a blank canvas, after I get the job done, I get paid and I have an awesome artistically dirt painted jeans (possibly shirt too). what do you guys [...]

just a filler

here’s a quick post filler. I swear i haven’t had much time to upload and post the photos I took from the Vancouver Olympic 2010. I am still left with loads of School work to catch up on. Added to that, I missed school today.

Lanvin_aw10

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010

Lanvin Paris, to me, has become one of the most memorable and inspirational fashion line at this moment. They have consistently shown that they deserve the top spot season after season. The best thing I like about Lanvin is the surprise element that they put into every collection; they constantly come up with something fresh [...]

I locked myself out.

I forgot my keys today and no one was home to open the door. My phone was dead but my camera was fully charged. I walked around Commercial drive and started taking random photos. ps. CANADA won the Hockey game vs. Slov and here’s my poor attempt of doing *NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

when love takes over

This song has been stuck in my head for a while now, very memorable for me because it was playing when I first went clubbing @ 19. I didn’t even know Kelly Rowland did this song. It’s definitely one of those song that would make me jump around and go crazy-turbo-dancing. ok MAYBE not really, [...]

I’m back

So I’ve been pretty sick lately. I had a really bad fever and then a sore throat. BUT I’m back and hopefully will have time to blog more.

Sick.

My first time blogging from my new Phone after loosing my N95. I’m at the doctor’s office, waiting in line. My throat hasn’t gotten any better, in fact it is worst. I tear up when swallowing. I must admit though I was very stubborn and went on drinking cold beverages even if I was aware [...]

DIY, Brodarte inspired shredded sweater.

so I bought this girls sweater from Urban Outfitters on SALE for $9… yes ladies and gents, that cheap. When I first saw it, It totally reminded me of the Knit spiderweb sweater from RODARTE. so when I got home, I started deconstructing and cutting knitting the sweater… 3hrs later, I got the job done.

A little casual today

It’s nice and sunny out today, I’m a little surprise that we’re getting this weather early February. I finally got to wear my sunglasses for the right reason, NOT BECAUSE I’m covering some heavy and saggy eye-bags.

shopping @ VV

I went shopping @ ValueVillage today with Devon and Anna (friends from school) and I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know such place existed. It was very exhausting though because that place was huge, I will need a day or two to browse the whole store. Regardless, I managed to find few items and their staff [...]

Out of focus

As much as I love my Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera, I hate it when I ask my friends to take my photo and they don’t know how to operate it. I mean, can’t blame them because it’s not their fault that the camera is way too complex than a typical digital camera. Anyhow, as [...]

DIY, pinned bowtie.

So this is the look I was wearing today. DIY pinned bowtie, plain gray button up shirt, blazer, trouser, and this lovely scarf. Me and my friend Anna stroll around North Vancouver, hopped on a sea bus and walked around downtown Vancouver. We ‘did’ homework in the library took more photos. PS. we were paparazzi [...]

Asian/Italian?

Tommy Ton of GQ.com recently posted a slide “Street Shooting Man” this image above was captioned. “When a woman layers heavily, with too many patterns, colors, and textures, she can look, well…a little extreme. But when it comes to an Italian guy, it’s part of his DNA.” It has become my daily web routine to [...]

Burberry Fall/Winter 2010

This season is yet again, dedicated to what Burberry is well known for, outerwear. Furry boots, military trench, big and bulky jacket with exaggerated collar. Also, notice the new silhouette of boots and trouser combo, the carried over denim shirt (from last season’s D&G) only this time they made it appear dressier paired up with [...]

TANGLED

sorry about the slight nudity here. so the STORY behind this; these belts were given to me by my previous manager… LOTS of them, they were old and mismatched women’s belt that were to be thrown away.. him knowing me as a creative person, he gathered them all and gave them to me… I stored [...]

LittleFashionisto @ Queenjustine

Style comes in all shapes & sizes and the author of Little Fashionisto is no exception to the rule. Standing at an even 5’0 and barely filling out a men’s XXS, this Vancouver blogger always finds it hard to shop in the average Canadian men’s clothing department. With his ill-fitting purchases and a sewing machine, [...]

camp chic.

ready to go camping this summer? WHOEVER GUESS (correctly) which collection this was inspired by, gets an OREO cookies (and a kiss from me?) ps. all the elements in these looks are from my old rotting closet, filthy with cheap clothing and mom’s old stuff in it, some children sized clothing/altered sister’s old stuff. AHahhaa… [...]

IN YOUR FACE; DIY finger painted/beaded/studded Fake Chanel recycled bag. another look with DIY element. the short was altered from my mom’s old trouser. and recyclable shopping bag… finger painted to this humorous and IN-YOUR-FACE FAKE Chanel bag, I’ve been wanting to do something with this bag but I couldn’t find my paint brush… still, [...]

Dolce&Gabbana Spring/Summer ad preview

can’t wait to see the official advert. I love it when they put the runway to film.. and the photos to moving pictures… i didn’t know Models have to take acting lesson tho, since MODELING is pretty much like acting… they give u a character, you act it… then the camera starts clicking. nonetheless this [...]

Wearing my face; customized hand-painted/beaded tshirt

so this customized tshirt is back. I have a look from Summer last year and now here’s my take on making it a winter look — well sorta. it was a lot of fun making this t-shirt. it took a lot of time though, but it’s totally worth it. I got a couple of people [...]

AHAHAHA… this is another look I came up with while playing dress up. plain white studded tshirt, old stripped long sleeved shirt. worn as pants, wooden roller massager as bangles.

I had lunch with Nicole today. We went around downtown, just taking random photos. I was doing denim on denim today. something D&G made wearable for next season. I also love that accented-pop-of-color on my red socks, very festive if I may say.

Military meets Aviator. DIY tshirt.

so i spent my whole night gluing and sewing this tshirt together. since the whole military jacket is so in trend, I created a lighter version of it. I love how they fit me, being 5’2 and 85lbs… it’s almost impossible sometimes to find clothing. i bought buttons and used golden necklace to customize the [...]

Ketchup and Mustard. DIY studded collar shirt.

Just playing with the look..(hence the absence of shoes) the studded collar DIY shirt again… It feels good wearing something you created/altered/customized with your own two hands. =D what do u think?

new sunglasses.

I bought this new zara sunglasses today. Very unusually round and it’s got this tiny metal bar across where the nose bridge sits. People thought they were hard to pull off, but they look fine to me… the frame is just too round, but I guess because I have a very squared face… and very [...]

John Galliano s/s10

I am wearing this super comfy scarf today. I’m starting to feel the freezing winter air again and I hate it. Also, I combed back my hair and blow dried it to get this suave volume. what do you think?
