Love Letter...

I stopped having crushes when I was thirteen, but if I was to ever encounter one again my love letter would disclose the following… Song//LATCH Artist(s)//DISCLOSURE ft. SAM SMITH Thought it was a great song worth sharing, and it reminded me to step up my game!

COOKIE MUNSTER DELECTABLES.

You’ll always catch my cookie jar in an “assorted” state, its rarely ever filled with just one type of cookie. By going to the bake shop or bakery it caters to my indecisiveness & allows me to customize my selections accordingly. I was at Elm Hill Cookies & had some important decadent decisions to make. True to my inability to commit I began pointing at scrumptious mini goodness left,...

Adding A Little Spice In My Life

I am not a chef by profession or anywhere close to being a domestic goddess, but theres something about shopping at a farmers market, or a specialty grocery store such as Whole Foods for instance that has the power to magically transform you into one-even if its just till midnight. I walk into Whole Foods for eggs & bread, but got lost in the maze of organic fruits & vegetables, and then...

Tick Tock...

…as the summer goes into partial hibernation with the cooler winds overpowering the heat of the sun, I found myself comforted by my lightweight sweater from H&M, which was the perfect guard against such indecisive weather. I also dug deep into my hat box and pulled out a wool felted hat to re-enforce my outfit with just enough character without trying to hard. My legs are always the...

Making the effort...

Naturally, we make the effort to feel & look great on a date, a job interview, or a special occasion and fail to do so for “ourselves” in our daily lives. So, for anyone that’s been slacking and feeling not so fabulous I challenge you to put the extra effort for Y♥U, and make feeling & looking fabulous the new “everyday norm”. The mind is a powerful entity and if you look good, you...

Restlessly Awake

CURRENT TIME: 03:39 OBJECTIVE: Beauty Sleep by 00:00 (at the very latest) MISSION: UNSUCCESSFUL I stay restlessly awake as the silence picks away at my thoughts, and the canvas of the night sky surrounds me. I don’t know whether if its an attribution of inspiration or a disposition of a (self diagnose) insomnia. Regardless I do enjoy these nights… When I usually can’t sleep I am: ...

Tamed Summer...

Although, I wear a lot of black on a regular basis, I have many different facets and layers to my fashion sensibility. When I travel to exotic places thats when my “colourful wardrobe” usually gets to see the day of light. The Patrizia Pepe skirt I am wearing here is a perfect example of a piece I bought last summer, but I only got around to wearing it for the first time in this blog entry. ...

Attraction

I am attracted to many things and currently I am attracted to: “Regal Safari’s Remix - Sun Glitters, Too Much to Lose” ….Attraction is unexplainable… and it’s a fictitious force that can propel a grown human brain back to an impulsive state of adolescence. When you’re there I say, “enjoy it before reality...

Bad Hair Days Are Yesterday News...

I revisited O’CAFE in New York, with my newly purchased snapback. I have to be honest, and confess Givenchy and Miu Miu reincarnated my interest in baseball caps. Not to mention, the hat came in handy considering my hair was misbehaving due to indecisive weather conditions throughout day. Since, I haven’t blogged in a while I decided to bravely & shamelessly take images of myself with...

If Yen Can Cook, You Can Too!

Considering, I do not have domestic bone in my body and to one day discover my kitchen skills went beyond operating a toaster or microwave was an enlightening moment. Here’s a heathy lunch I conjured up with really simple ingredients that anyone can find in there cupboards. Brussels sprouts are a great stir fry vegetable and believe to have anticancer fighting properties. You want to...

Please bare with me as I work diligently to collect content for the site. I’ve been meaning to do a “what I wore” posting, but came to realize “IT’S DIFFICULT TO TAKE “QUALITY”...

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...

…BURBERRY MAKEUP VIDEOS. When I first stumbled upon the Burberry’s Makeup Tutorials the first adjective which came to mind was “EPIC” and then speechlessness with sound effects of awe such as “WOOAH” - ”AH” - “DAAAAAME” - ”OWWWW” - ”WOOOW”. Whether one wears makeup or not, its one of those video tutorial that can be appreciated on how its constructed...

“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...

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...

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...

…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

SMALL & RURAL TOWNS = TIME TRAVEL (BACK IN TIME) There was only two...

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.

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...

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...

Throughout the evening we stayed in character for the most part tapping our sticks along the...
