Last night I attended my friend’s (Melissa) Bachelorette Party, yes! a bachelorette (like you can really see me in a Bachelor Party. haha!) I have never been to one before and I’m not entirely sure what to wear and what to expect. When she invited me, as flattered as I was, I was also a [...]
In the mail
A couple of weeks ago I received these lovely things in the mail from BloggersWardrobe. Just in time for the summer — 2 beautiful spectacles and a frame from Oscar Magnuson, and a Horn One necklace by Johanna N. They couldn’t have been more perfect, in fact, I’m already in love with all of them. [...]
You’re invited
Great Memories. Great Mystery. Great Countryside. Great Escapes. Great Castles. Great Music. Great Shopping. Great Museums. Great Sport. Great Cities. 2012 is a great year to be in Britain — and you’re invited. Precise, clever and very well thought of — what a great film from our British friends. Captivating and, what can I say, [...]
Post Birthday
Yes! that’s right. I just turned 23. The sound of that used to scare me but now that it’s here, I’m going to take it and make the most out of it. I’m 23 — that’s YOUNG-ish!. I’ve accomplished a lot at 22 and I will try and do more at 23. Life is great. [...]
Garage Stops
Last Fall I was invited by Garage Magazine to participate in their newly launched project called STOPS. It is a collection of street-style images submitted by fashion conscious people all over the world. After receiving over 300 submissions from 129 countries during STOPS Season 1, the only one look I submitted was selected to be [...]
Raw Canvas
I spent the other night with Amaly at Raw Canvas. It’s this amazing place with amazing food and beverages in the heart of Yaletown Vancouver — where one can also purchase a blank canvas and paint it right inside the restaurant. They have a spacious designated area where you can put on a heavily and [...]
Valentines
Noodle making, mushroom frying, wine drinking, ice cream eating and a very humble old Italian dinner for two. It was a lovely evening, possibly more than what I had wished for. Happy Valentines Day.
Back in Baby’s Arms
Due to the snow storm in Toronto when I left, and a very last minute meeting with Bobby Raffin, I was once again, late to check in for my flight back to Vancouver. Thanks to the awesome staff at westjet, I was able to make it. However, my luggage was checked in together with the [...]
Toronto – My first impression
I arrived on a sunny but chilly Wednesday afternoon. Upon leaving Toronto Pearson Airport, I immediately hop onto a cab to take me to my hotel. I was going to take the public transit but I didn’t want to risk getting lost again, and I couldn’t be bothered dragging a 50 lbs. luggage onto and [...]
My travelling must haves
After my recent travel to Berlin and now in Toronto, I realized that these babies are always with me, and I will try to have them (or sort of the similar template) in my future travels. While you can find these necessities almost everywhere, you might also find bags, hats, and scarves similar to these [...]
reunited
Nicole just got back from her 5-month-long trip to Europe, just a few days after I got back from Berlin. I don’t know about you but 5 months is definitely a looonnnnnggg time and some MAJOR, major catching up needs to be done. Although we were scheduled to see each this weekend, I phoned her [...]
Dr. Martens First Love.
My submission for Dr. Martens FIRST LOVE Campaign is selected and it will be showcased at their Spring/Summer12 footwear collection which will be held at Dr. Martens Queen Street West.
Hallo from Fashion Week Berlin
The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has official started in Berlin and as expected, the venue was flooded with amazingly dressed individuals, non-stop throughout the whole day. Everywhere you go and turn, there’s inspiration after another. I don’t think I’ve ever been surrounded with that much well dressed people before but that feeling, energy and vibe from [...]
Taking the U-Bahn
I’ve landed in Deutschland! Although I’m still experiencing major jet-lag, everything has been great so far. Going to bed at 8am and waking up at 4pm isn’t very ideal, but the weather lately made it very easy to stay in and sleep. I have been wandering around Berlin, and should I say — I have [...]
Christmas in January
I got my first package from BloggersWardrobe last week and oh my!, that got me all excited. It was like Christmas all over again. Aside from a box of clothing, accessories and hair products from Arelalizza, Pilgrim, and Björn Axén, I also got an espresso machine from Electolux. I can’t wait to put these babies [...]
The Icons
I like to welcome the New Year by tidying things up, cleaning up and getting rid of the clutter that has accumulated in my space. I came across this little tiny booklet from Ray.Ban, as you may have guessed, it usually comes when you purchase a pair of Ray.Bans. I have a secret love for [...]
Turning tables
I love love love this song, and I’ve listened to it many times, way too many — but something happened and I’ve stopped listening to it, not only this song but sadly, the full album (ADELE – 21). I love how songs bring back a lot of memories. They take you to THAT exact moment, [...]
Christmas Party
Last Friday night I attended a Christmas party by the company I interned for last summer, just right after I finished school. Although I was only with the company for four months, I am very flattered by the invitation and did not want to miss out on it. I initially went to the party wearing [...]
littleFashionisto for BloggersWardrobe
I’m pretty sure I have mentioned this before, but here I am, like a scratched disk again and again. I made this video for BloggersWardrobe, a brand new and very exciting collaboration project by 2 award winning advertising companies, StudioTotal and Dirty Butterfly. Enjoy!.
Mavi Jeans collab sneak peek
I recently got invited to style Mavi Jeans‘ Holiday Window display for their west 4th location.
Runway bully
During an event I went to recently, I’ve encountered another form of bullying and I’ve contemplated whether to blog about or not, but for the sake of it, here it is, a tiny little story.
The cat and the Liar – My Halloween Tale
I know Halloween is so last week but I thought I’d post this anyways. Amaly and I agreed to dress up at work and it was such a fun day. What a fancy fab cat she was, and of course, you’re truly was a little liar. Thank God it wasn’t super cold that day, or [...]
Saturday Night
After a very uneventful Friday night for me, I decided I deserve to go out and have a little fun so as planned, I went out for a quick drink with the girls. My friend Kristina has this super cute little dog, his name is Kingston, and he’s a Yorkshire Terrier. I can only imagine [...]
Josh and Kazuki
Look what I found guys!!! Some anime/manga characters, named Josh and Kazuki, dressed inspired by me. A very talented artist from the blog ZERA ZERA ZERA put these characters into his favorite littleFashionisto outfits. Now isn’t that too adorable? Photo credits to http://crablegmeat.tumblr.com/
Ding dong! it’s Amaly and Me
Photo taken by a very talented local photographer, Peter Jensen during Vancouver Eco Fashion Week. I look tired and exhausted, no? truth is, I was really tired and restless that day. I specially love Amaly’s outfit here (don’t mind mine). The raccoon fur, monochromatic ensemble, gorgeous tasseled shoes (which I’ve been wanting to steal!), the [...]
Scribbled
Look at this cute little illustration of me (I said the illustration is cute, not me). This artwork is made by the super talented Ryan Hunt of scribblez454 You will also find the reference look Ryan used to illustrate me down below. This is so amazing! It’s always very intriguing how other artists see my [...]
The Global Party x littleFashionisto
I know it’s a little late but remember that invitation I got for The Global Party? With 80 parties around the world all happening within 24 hours, The Global Party is definitely “THE” party to remember. Held at the Opus Hotel in the heart of Yaletown, the event was a great success attended by many [...]
Hold on – Yellow Ostrich
I got this song from the Starbuck’s Music pick of the week. For those of you who don’t know what that is, Starbucks puts out a stack of cards, much like the photo above, every Tuesday which you can use to download music on itunes using the code in the back of the card. If [...]
Zara Metrotown: remodeled
I was running errands after work yesterday and I thought I’d pop by the newly renovated Zara in Metrotown Mall. With a lot buzz and hype it’s making, I thought it was worth checking it out. When you first walk in, the most visible change you will notice are the walls and fixtures. From white, [...]
The Gap
This look is basically the same as my previous one, obviously without the second shirt worn as skirt. I’m always very confident of what I wear BUT SOMETIMES, there are ‘dingy’ area of Vancouver, where the possibility of me getting gay-bashed is very high (I know, sad) — and being so tiny, I do not [...]
Final Round: Blogger’s Wardrobe
As you may all know already (from a couple of my previous posts), I have been given this amazing opportunity to be part of a great new project called “Bloggers Wardrobe” — and for me to be officially part of it, I NEED YOUR HELP. There are 2 steps this time, but I promise it’ll [...]
The Global Party
I came home sometime last week with a box sitting on my desk. It didn’t have a return address so I was a little puzzled at first. It turned out, it’s an exclusive invitation to The Global Party — The World’s largest private party (you can read more about it in this link & this [...]
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. Besides, Nicole will be leaving for London in a couple weeks (LUCKY MUCH!) and she’ll be there [...]
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 leopard print. I kept the theme of “dandy rock and roll” in both looks, with [...]
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 but adore the photos. I’m a big doodle freak and when paper and pen/pencil are in [...]
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 — come on, it’s got great acoustic, no one is around and you’re in your element. [...]
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. However, these fall pieces are on crazy good sale. They are from ‘last season’ but for basic [...]
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.
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 things are going to play out, and that uncertainty scares me. One thing is for sure [...]
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 Search for the Next Style Correspondent and I have a pretty good shot at making [...]
Paulsavestheworld
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 love seeing how other artists see my work and also how they interpret it in their own [...]
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 it whenever I find time. I found these vintage ties and older ones I accumulated [...]
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 the heck of it, besides that’s what this blog is all about anyways, documenting my life. [...]
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 brand established in Italy. They make colorful rubber belts that are 100% recyclable so it’s [...]
