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.
If you have an iphone, instagram is a must application to download. It turns your camera phone into a personal Tumblr web-blog. All you need is a good eye and fantastic framing. You don’t need to worry …
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. …
Bloggers Wardrobe
I received an invitation to join a competition to be part of a very prestigious group of fashion bloggers all over the world.
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 …
One of a kind show: Media Preview
Exclusive media preview for the One of a Kind show this year. It was an amazing afternoon of networking and recognizing local talents while cruising around Vancouver on a cruise. Video courtesy of Nokia N8
Behind the Nokia N8; Vancouver Magazine shoot.
I had the amazing honour of meeting and working with a very talented photographer Chris Haylett. I also got to meet few of my fellow local bloggers. I don’t want to spill the bean too much but I brought my …
Vancouver tour via Nokia N8
Since getting my hands on Nokia N8, I never leave the house without it. I take photos of the city and things I find interesting. Have a visual tour of my city through Nokia N8. Welcome to Vancouver.
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 …
Street Style in Motion: Girlfriends
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 …
Just a boy
I find it very interesting that when I look at my photos, I see a boy trying to dress up as a grown-up man — I mean, it’s funny in a way but I just find it odd, I guess …
Street Style in motion: Polina
Not only I was stunned how she looks so much like Taylor Swift, she also had a very playful style. I love her pleated long skirt and I am looking forward to wearing mine soon (very soon, no kidding). She’s …
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 on …
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 …
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 …
featured on Denim Theraphy
We love when people get brave with their color schemes. It’s easy enough to mix a pop-color into a neutral outfit, but when you’ve got the guts to dress in head-to-toe primary colors, and have the style-sense to pull it …
ELLE + Nokia Round #2
As you may have already noticed, by that big banner right above my blog, I made it to the Second Round of Nokia + Elle Search for Style Correspondent. The challenge for this round is to write an essay …
Next Step
After finishing Interactive Design, I am just about to finish my 4-month-internship and I am not quite sure what the next step is for me. I’ve got a lot of things on the line but not entirely certain how …
featured on BonLook
This look got featured on BonLook.com. Pretty simple elements. Classic pieces in a look, dark denim jeans, micro gingham short-sleeved shirt, vintage leather portfolio folder, DIY button-brooch and Giorgio Armani leather slip on.
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 create …
Urban Amazon
Urban Amazon to me is — something very organic, light, loose, clean yet still very sophisticated. Here I have a lightly sheer v-neck t-shirt, paired up with linen blazer and camouflage cargo shorts — taking inspiration from nature, straw hat …
Vote for me
I am not usually the type of person who like asking favours. In fact, I try to avoid asking anyone for favor at all cost but this time is an exception.
I made it to the Round 2 of the …
Gifted by Garcon Chic
I was surprised by a parcel on my desk today when I got home from my intern. I wasn’t expecting to receive anything, but as soon as I opened it, I remembered I was contacted by Garcon Chic few …

What I love about blogging is that I am able to touch people, be it in a creative or emotional way. For me, the privilege to inspire people is the greatest accomplishment I am able to achieve. I …
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 …
Banana Mint
If you have been following my looks from day one, you might probably know that i LOVE to play with colors, and this look is another evidence of that.
mint trousers, stripped banana yellow, tortoiseshell rounded frame, and white rubber belt …
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 light …
Vancouver behind me
Another summer look and different styling on that Bandana shirt from my previous look (which is shot weeks ago, i just never had time to upload it, hence my hair looks a lot shorter there) Anyways, I hope you guys …

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.
Welcome back Summer
I’m finally back posting looks on Lookbook.nu I’ve had a chaotic few weeks lately and if you’ve been following my blog, you would probably know why.
This is my take on casually dressy. Simple pieces, light and easy to put together, …
Putting Away ties
Summer has finally hit Vancouver (or at least that what I hope so), and I have done some closet organizing over the last 2 weeks and no, my closet isn’t that big to take the whole two weeks, I do …
Lookbook interview
The month of May has been one of the highlights of this year so far. I am very honored to have been featured on Lookbook’s monthly Beyond the Hype interview for the month of May. I remember when …
Mr. S
It has been awhile now and I am in a lot better state than I was few weeks back. Let’s just say there’s not even a point in writing this blog entry anymore but I will anyways just for …
Cool Dudes
I’m about to sound like the most annoying fan girl but I won’t care. I just found out Victor Basa read my Beyond the Hype interview on Lookbook.nu and tweeted it as well quoting Cool dudes.
I know this is …

Hey guys, I am featured on the latest issue of SPRAY MAGAZINE, ISSUE #2.14
They sent me a pdf file of the page but I was hoping to get the actual magazine and I don’t know where to get them in …
From me, to me.
In congratulating myself for making it on Zara People Collaboration, what’s more appropriate than to gift myself this nice ZARA MAN Canvas bag with suede leather detailing. The one thing that sold me is that little Laptop case inside. …
I’m an intern
As a lot of you my dear readers and followers may have known already, I am currently on the second month of my four-month-internship program at Ion Branding + Design and so far I am loving everything about it. …
Tie ups / ARDT
I got my parcels from Tie Ups and Ardentees the other day. I was in contact with them for a collaboration and I can’t wait to feature their product on my blog and on my photos.
Tie Ups is a …
Burberry – Art of Treches feaure.
Two of my photo wearing trench coat has been featured on Burberry’s The Art of Trenches project.
Garçon
Another classic simple look. The weather has been sucky lately and I can’t be pulling an Etro Milano styling in the rain — nor an oxford shoes with no socks, so here it is for now. Layering in the middle …
Dandelions
Wow, I’m on a sneakers, surprise! so summer is almost here, school is done for me, so I’ve moved to back to my parents.
I went for something light an casual yet with my personality still intact. Linen blazer, straw …
Rainy Saturday
Catch up time with my very good friend Nicole, who I haven’t seen in ages. The weather wasn’t too nice and it was a mix of light, heavy rain, then the next thing you know, it’s hailing. Nicole …
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 back …
Donnelly Group
My interview for Donnelly Group is now online. Do you want to know if I can do the dougie? Go check it out and read my answers.
Oh my Jesus
Months back, I was contacted to be part of a creative-collaboration (you can read my previous entry about it here). I was very ecstatic because I haven’t really done such thing before. I thought the concept was interesting …
Hiatus
Just to quickly summarize what I’ve gone through within the past few weeks, which explains why I have gone M.I.A. lately. I’ve been through a roller coaster ride, lots of good things happened and of course, bad and horrible …

Zailanie is an amazing illustrator from Indonesia, who’s responsible for this amazing illustration. You can check out more of his amazing works on his blog. I am quite amazed on how he took the photo and turned it …
Tribal
Although the sun has been shinning in Vancouver lately, it’s still fairly cold — but doesn’t mean dress-warm is boring — here’s my take on casual-edgy.
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
Green Pants
find that a lot of people are very against wearing colored pants — and usually just stick to the neutrals, or denim. I am a bit experimental when it comes to dressing up and I treat trousers/bottoms as any other …
Vampire’s kiss
The color pallets reminds me of a vampire movie. It was meant to be a classic Sicilian look but the red tie (worn as belt) + the sand-bottle necklace took the look in a different direction. Another way to wear …
Can’t wait for Summer
Another basic summer look. Simple elements, nicely accessorized. Ribbon belt, sunglasses, gold watch, and duffel with leather piping.
Short Sleeved Trench
I’m all about making things work — trench is a very versatile piece but it can get a little fall-y sometimes, so I thought I’d cuff the sleeve all the way up — I’ve seen few designers going for a …
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 …
New Desk + Balloon
Do you notice the change-of-background this time? I have a new desk at the office. Our hired contractor finished his project last week, therefore I am moved from my intern desk to this official spot — that doesn’t mean …

Yours truly made it to Lookbook’s Selected Guys once again. Thank you so much for all your support and HYPES.
Remember when I did Leopard tie and people went a little crazy over it. Although I was made fun …
He loves me, He loves me not.
This is more like a “He likes me, he likes me not” question. I would say that it’s a little early to use the world LOVE. It’s way too soon to even tell or predict what the future …

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.
Intern Report 1
As many of you (my dear readers) have noticed due to my excessive twitter updates and FourSquare check-ins, I have finished school and now currently doing my internship. It has been such a great experience so far being part …
Guy on the skytrain
I was on my way home from work (intern) tonight when all of a sudden, I was approached by a random middle aged gentleman. We have been exchanging awkward glances at each other the whole train ride, and I couldn’t …
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.
