Boy Next Door...

Clothing and fashion aside, I really admire the artistic directional shift that Burberry has undergone over the past couple of years. They’ve elevated and set a new standard of marketing in fashion apparel and introduced a “virtual tactile quality” to the e-conmere’s world. With their collaborations & choices in music, they’ve transcended the label from “traditional” into...

THE AWARD GOES TO...

…BURBERRY MAKEUP VIDEOS. When I first stumbled upon the Burberry Makeup Tutorials the adjective which came to mind was “EPIC” and then it turn into non-adjectives and just sound effects of “WOOAH” - ”AH” - “DAAAAAME” - ”OWWWW” - ”WOOOW”. Whether if you wear makeup or not, its one of those video tutorial that can be appreciated on how its assembled...

I’m always in search of....

“the fountain of youth”, and maintaining a good skincare regime is a great starting point. Although, skincare is important in generating a healthy fresh exterior there are also other factors that plays an even greater role, such as lifestyle, genetics, and eating habits. I strongly believe if you keep your lifestyle and eating habits in check, you can pretty much cheat genetics. In the...

ON THE GO GO

Whenever I’m in New York, I find myself on the constant go. Just as I landed in NYC (early last month), I get a text from Gisela asking me to accompany her to the “Alexander McQueen + Barlas Baylar Event” and after to the “Ohne Titel + Easton & Combs Party”. With less then an hour on my side to get refresh and transform from “airplane mode of comfy clothes/no...

PUSHING FORWARD...

…. with the new year, and each year with the best foot forward! I had every intention of documenting the new year celebration, but my camera was not cooperating :( So this is (more or less) the only photo floating around of me from yesterday taken by my friend J with his party hat styled on me.

TACKLING THE SUNDAY

I’m back in NYC…. Its Winter, its Sunday, and its Football Night! I’m from Canada, and its wild how fanatic Americans get about football. Any conversation associated with the sport normally ends with extreme enthusiasm. Therefore, the first sentence was complimented with an exclamation mark for authenticity purposes or my roommate would have my head. With one of...

DISCOVER "THE EXTRAORDINARY" IN...

…LEVIS … I went a little crazy at the LEVIS store in New York, but didn’t break the bank because there was a SAAAALE! I purchased one jacket, two sweatshirts, and two shirts (the shirts are shown above and below). All the merchandise were from the BOY’S SECTION, which is the area of choice when I shop at...

No Explanation Required...

….Self-X-planatoray… SOURCE: All images are from Models.com in the Made in Brazil #4 Issue. OBSERVATION: I love the “essence of rawness” that are exemplified in some of these images, similar to what one would encounter from editorials in S magazine , or Purple mag, or even French Vogue during Carine Roitfeld’s reign , but the subject matter...

JUST LANDED...

on home soil (Toronto) from having spent the summer in New York! Believe it or not, I am not great at documenting series of events in my life. When I was younger, I use to have patients to take photos of everything insight-I practically lived life through a view finder. These days, I am trying extra hard to get in the habit of shamelessly taking photos again. Which brings me to my iphone! I...

ENNY, MEENY, MINY, MOE!

With my outfit today, I decided to entertain some accessory options starting with… A.) …an oversize scarf. B.) …spiked headband. I have a lot of baby hair—is the nature of being asian. Headbands, are an easy way for me to tame the “wildness” when I have my hair pulled back. C.) …leopard knitted beret. I think what I like about this hat is probably the...

Got my hair did...

…weeeell, more like the goat hair on my Alexander Wang, which was purchased last winter. I decided to brush and flat iron the kinks on the fur trim with low - medium heat (with CAUTION). And VOLIA! It looks & felt like I was doing my own hair….hahaha. I haven’t worn these boots yet, but will in the near future. So, check back to see how I’ll pair the boots. -xx

A DATE WITH...

…myself… I happened to be out last night and accidentally re-discovered Bryant Park & Time Sqaure, which are huge tourist attractions in NY. By night fall you’ll unlikely see a local New Yorker in sight, unless they’re passing through to get to either end of the city or home. But during the day it’s a bustling hub for editors, models,...

The Day After...

…NY’s first wet snow day of the season, was all sun. With the sun hitting our faces, my roomieee and I decided catch an early brunch and landed at a local joint called, Sweet Praise Restaurant. (P.S. I was too lazy to carry a super enormous DSLR camera around, so all the images were taken with an iphone). Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE FOOD and can eat a lot! Sometimes a little...

Since then, the magazine recently released their third issue, “MANDUM” (a.k.a The Men’s Issue). Click on the links, check it out, and enjoy… ...

MADE IN MALAYSIA...

In April I went back to Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur a city I once called home. During the trip I didn’t get a chance to take too many pictures. However, closer to the end of the trip I did managed to capture a few images of a small town I’ve visited just an hour drive outside of the city. SMALL & RURAL TOWNS = TIME TRAVEL (BACK IN TIME) There was only two...

BANG BANG BANG!

As seen in the previous photos, I’ve had bangs/fringe for the past few years. This summer I’ve been growing it out for a change. Is an effective makeover—I literally look like two different person…hahaha. Maybe around the New Years I’ll go back to bangs, but for the time being…. Bangs out! Middle part in! UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!...

I enjoy YOU...

I have to say…I enjoy/love REMIXES, and when someone takes a song and remixes it I must say is one of the highest form of compliments. Also, I get to love a song in more then one way. LISTENING TO: “AZARI & III”-Into The Night (Nicholas Jaar Remix) I began listening to...

Good-NIGHT & Good-DAY...

A lot has happened since my last post. I’ve been extremely busy with the existence called “life” to the point where I haven’t had the chance to process it fully. Then again, I can’t really call it life because I’ve been so busy working I literally had “NO LIFE”. Its about 1:49 am in New York, and I know I should be in bed but in a city that never...

I apologize on the lack of post, please be patient as I try to correct this and create content for the blog. There are also some changes and transition I am making in my life which are taking up much of my attention and time. Please stay tune….xx

Just to clarify....

….music I post here, doesn’t mean one has to like it. If you do great, but it doesn’t mean we are going to become best friends, and if you don’t it doesn’t mean were going to become enemies. I began listening to “The Weeknd” House of Balloon entire album on repeat, thanks to sweet o’ Karen Roze. For me there is no...

Something rough with something classy...

During my stay in NY for the month of December my lovely friend Maurenice Bisono (interior decorator and a former fashion designer) took her turn in adopting me for a week long slumber party. Here I am sitting in her “walk-in closet” with her purse collection in the background. I decided to take it easy and do a super clean and relax look with my hair pulled back, but...

A relationship formed many years ago through the love for fashion, which was portrayed at the event held by The Room in Toronto called “When Tommy Met Anna”. Photos of Anna in her most memorable outfits chronicled by Tommy over the years was exhibt throughout “The Room”. It was an event to...

What happens at "THE BOX" stays at "THE BOX"...

New York, New York Here I Go...

For the month of December I decided to pack my bags and disappear for The Big Apple. The first encounter with New York City a few years back was literally “love at first sight” when I went down for NY Fashion week and ever since then it has been an on going love affair. On this particular venture there were many sleepovers, long nights, a few early mornings at the crack of dawn for jogs in...

SAY Cheeseee...

I did not expect to come out to play for Halloween, but fortunately there was an opening spot to dress up as the third blind mice at the last hour. Diego, Kristjan, and I all owned grey Club Monaco sweatshirts as staples in our closets, so the costume worked out perfectly as we hit the colourful night. Throughout the evening we stayed in character for the most part tapping our sticks along the...

Come in, WE'RE OPEN.

Running errands around town, and had the chance to pop into one of my favourite coffee shop “The Mascot”. I don’t drink coffee, but I am addicted to hot coco I drink it year round—its seasonless for me. Eddie, a friend of mines & one of the owners of Mascot was kind enough to play photog and snap these pics of what I adorn myself with that day. Before Phi...
