It has been the talk of town for quite some time now, the iconic American retailer, J.Crew, to open it’s first location in BC. It wasn’t too long ago when the news was confirmed and fast forward to today — J.crew’s Vancouver location is set and ready to open it’s doors. Just this morning, Tom [...]
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 [...]
Let the wind blow
I wore this look on the first day of Berlin Fashion Week. I’ve been a little obsessed with these oversize/long coat lately. It’s funny considering how tiny I am and I how they literally eat up my body — but I like how the fabric bounces when I walk and how it flips when I [...]

Just in time for the holiday, Tiffany & Co.celebrated the opening of an approximately 3,100-square-foot store in Oakridge Centre on December 7, 2011 …

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.
A.D.F.M. Media Launch Party
Arts, Design, Music, and Fashion — these are the four main ingredients for Canada’s newest online modern lifestyle boutique, the ADFM store. It was November of last year when founder/owner, Michelle Wong, came up with the initial concept and idea. Being a DJ herself, an avid online shopper, and an entrepreneur by heart, she had [...]

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
My week started off with a fabulous Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I had the great pleasure of meeting the designers of Tiffany Leather Collection, Richard Lambertson & John Truex. The Tiffany Leather Collection was officially debuted in the Fall of last year. Straight from New York, Tiffany brought it to Vancouver this season and I had [...]
Hennes & Mauritz
Last week, I got invited for the H&M Grand Opening @ Metrotown Mall and these are the items I had purchased. One thing I sure to hit whenever I go shopping at any H&M location are the ‘boys’ department and the accessory shelves, so I got these Shawl-collared wool sweater and 2 packs of socks [...]

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 [...]
VancouverView Magazine
The current issue of VancouverView Magazine is out, featuring Vancouver’s local Personal Style Bloggers, including myself.
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 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 [...]
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 had time to kill. I pop by one of the best vintage boutique in Vancouver, [...]
d a c e Spring 2011 preview
d a c e clothing celebrated it’s 10th year Anniversary last night at the OPUS Bar, 350 Davie St, Vancouver B.C. and yours truly was there to cover the event.

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 [...]
Come Fly with Me, Let’s take off in the Blue
I have never been so restless in my life ever as these past few weeks. I have been out-and-about NON-STOP. I have been doing well in school in terms of tests and quizzes but the lectures are killing me. I often find myself in class tired and exhausted and not able to focus. Work however [...]
Nicole Bridger S/S11
Eco-friendly, light drape and easy to wear pieces were the key elements of Nicole Bridger’s collection for spring/summer 2011. There were slight hint of sophistication and elegance (mainly from the fabric choices, cute dresses and sheer layering) without compromising comfort. The color story are happy and vibrant mixed with neutrals for easy mix-n-matching purposes. Overall, [...]
Mickelli Couture
I wore this outfit for the Vancouver Fashion eZine launch. My super fabulous friend, Mickelli Orbe, made the my pants and ‘salvaged’ the jacket for me. The top is a vintage piece also from him. Thank you Mickelli and congratulation. His works are featured on numerous magazines and I am so thrilled to be wearing [...]
Vancouver Fashion Ezine
Vancouver Fashion Ezine fired up last night in Yaletown. The gallery-venue was filled with Vancouver’s fashionable crowd. It was a lovely evening of sipping cocktail and munching on mini-cupcakes.
British Guy.
since I’ve been coming home super late lately, I am forced to do shoots at night, and I found a place to do mini shoots on the rooftop patio of my building (as you may have noticed from my previous looks). The sky and the city as a backdrop isn’t that bad, in fact I [...]
Sailors come out at Night
Another look I didn’t have time to take a photo of in the morning when there is still sun… so I had to take a photo of it at night — at the same location as my previous look — rooftop patio. I actually like the bokeh of the city in the background… TRIVIA: there’s [...]
Like tourists.
Every once in a while, whenever I have time and when I get off work early, I like to go walk around the city, check out cafes, little food stand, tiny eatery that I’ve never been before. Vancouver is a great city full of characters. I have lived here for almost 7 years now and [...]
Change
This photo symbolizes a big future ahead. I’m ready to see what’s out there, yes there will be darkness but like this photo, there are lights all over and a wide horizon ready for me to explore. The biggest change in my life will happen within the next few days. I AM MOVING OUT of [...]
7″ Acne Admire Boots
So this is me, making a fool of myself, trying on a $900 Acne Admire Boots, which is by far the most amazing platform shoes I have ever worn (not that I’ve worn millions before). They are ultra well balanced so even if you can’t work a 3″ heels, I bet you can work this [...]
TheStyleSpy: Guy of the Week
You’ve spoken, I listened. I posted this video on my youtube channel and asked my reader/followers/viewers which photo they would want me to submit for this interview. The result was very close between Look#2 and #3 but in the end.. I can only send one photo — Here’s my interview with TheStyleSpy.com
Photographing the city
Jeremiah and I had a very deep conversation, so deep I totally missed my last bus — in result of that, I had to take 2 buses which comes every half-an-hour. It was such pain in the ass going home but I made a use of my time so I won’t get bored. Besides, I [...]
Vancouver Fireworks.
Here are some photos I took during the Fireworks Display in English Bay. We watched it on top of my friend’s balcony. Please don’t use these images without my knowledge. If you want the original hi-res copy, let me know and I will gladly provide.
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 [...]
when someone needs help…
I helped someone today on the bus/train. =D It feels great. His name is Johan (?not too sure) *btw, that image above is an illustration I did months back

Christmas eve
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.
