True Value Vintage; Closing Sale

One of well-known vintage shops in downtown Vancouver, True Value Vintage, is closing its door soon. I had a little chat with their super friendly staffs for the store’s possible relocation. Mini-documentary of my (shopping) trip will be uploaded on DocumentaryFilms.ca soon. Stay tuned, you don’t want to miss the gems I found on my [...]

Herringbone & Pocket Square

if you have been following my look for a while now, it is very evident that I LOVE combing odd things together, and I love to work with colors — this is another example. I got this stripped sweater from my mom’s closet — and like always, I usually just ask her for it and [...]

Too late for the Parade

Another look. My bestfriend Mickelli made this fabulous band blazer for me (I’m sure you have seen it in my other looks already), paired up with an lycra oversized graphic (i got on sale btw) and a drop crotched capri pants from kids.

Unreadable

Have you met anyone who you never seem to get, I mean — you can never understand the meaning behind your interactions. Pardon me but I’m probably the most clueless person on earth when it comes to human interaction. I guess part of it as well is the fact that I can’t look straight into [...]

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 I haven’t really worn it yet. Finally found the perfect time to work around it.

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. It still blows me away that I spent only about $50 for this outfit… shirt [...]

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 =)

Heartbreak Warfare

Don’t worry, this is nothing to do with me getting my heart broken (again) it’s just the title of this song I’ve been looping on my ipod lately by John Mayer Valentines is coming up again, and as much as I try not to remember it, it’s everywhere (damn marketing). I’m still in search of [...]

Smoke & Leather

I had this initial outfit to go school, and I figure WOW i look a little ‘bad-boyish’ today, with the leather and chains and the white denim vest under… so I just pretty much played around with the idea. Rock & Roll, bad boy 80s — grease/West Side stories.

Paisley and Polaroid

If you’ve been a constant follower of my looks, you’ll notice that I absolutely adore working with pattern and colors. I usually find myself combining the odd things that a lot of people might think ‘too loud’ — but then when styled properly, it actually works. Etro Milano and Kenzo are the main inspirations for [...]

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 but most don’t know how to work around it, well I’d say this is the [...]

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 I’d like to think this top is genderless… that’s the power of styling though, you [...]

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 wearing a navy blue socks with black pants and shoes — that’s right, the [...]

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 a class Burberry scarf. I wont usually pair this 2 patterns together but the whole [...]

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 up looking like an athletic socks. I got these pants on sale for 12.90 — great [...]

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 just like that… it’s a loud pattern indeed but there’s always way to quiet it down [...]

You give me fever

I have been awfully ill lately. I guess all those full week of sleeping 2hrs/day + working is paying off. I have been very bad and hard headed. Living alone has given me all the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want, and part of that is not eating on time, and staying [...]
