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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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, [...]

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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
