overdue

I truly deserve no followers D: what with the long hiatus and such.

OH WELL. Just gonna blog for my own leisure from now on.

This is an overdue post! I've taken the pictures long time ago but didn't bother to upload it.

:s

Super cute skirt from Forever 21! Too bad it's really loose on me...even with the belt. I probably have to give it away. ):

btw super excited for my 2 week vacation to HOMELAND, in two weeks' time! So much to do!

uninspired

I hate having to wear uniforms to work. I work almost everyday now, which gives me no opportunity to dress myself in my summer wear...

It was particularly windy today, so I put on my favorite jacket and headed out, taking an opportunity of the lovely weather.

I'm wearing Trooper Jacket from Talula via Aritzia, Lace top from Wilfred via Aritzia and leggings from Sirens. (:

P.S I'm very tempted to buy a pair of Toms shoes. Yes everyone has a pair, but they are so comfy! Decisions, decisions....

Straw

I was at the Aritzia private sale yesterday and I found gold! This straw fedora with a touch of floral is so adorable and I couldn't resist! Had to take a snap of it rightaway (with a not so stellar outfit...)!

So today I had my final exam (yes on a Saturday, how exciting), which means I'm done with the course! Hopefully this means I will have more time to blog, yes? yes? :D

Thank you, by the way, if you're still reading and still following :D I know I haven't been much quality these days!

pin up

I love my point and shoot camera, but at times I just wish I had a DSLR to shoot some awesome pictures, because I have all these great ideas for pictures that my point-and-shoot won't be able to deliver.

Anywhooooo, I managed to take this one before my battery ran out. I LOVE this dress to pieces. I've been attracted to denim blue dresses this season (I actually got two). We all know that denim is making its comeback this SS. I'm not a fan of denim jackets so I turn to pretty dresses instead :D

Wearing: Forever 21's chambray dress, Zara cardigan, Aldo floral bangles (multi).

p.s. you might or might not have noticed that my hair colour is much darker now. (:

you call it playsuit I call it romper

Oh God. I hate unpacking. My room is still a complete mess so I don't have a decent space to take my outfit photos... This is the best I could do as of now. Today was actually my first day of summer school and I've been dying to wear this floral romper out, so I did today, even though the weather was slightly overcast. It's a really pretty floral print and the fit is great; these pictures do no do it justice!

If there was one thing I learnt today, besides probability and Italian, it is to never drink too much water while wearing a romper. Why? Because if you're wearing a piece like mine, which needs to be buttoned all the way down, it means you'd have to strip your jacket, cardigan, belt, whatsoever AND the romper in order to go to the washroom...

Anyway, I hope I'm not losing followers because of my lack of blogging mojo! It's just that I always get home really late these days and energy is all drained out from work ): I don't want to disappoint you guys out there, so I will try my best to keep up with the posting, okays? OKAY. :D I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.

turning tables

So as the school term ends, I will be moving back to my parent's home. I'm gonna miss living out by myself! Goodbye freedom :"(

We were trying to move some furnitures back ahead of time, so I have an empty wall cleared out for my photoshoots. I thought I'd use it well while I can and snip some full body photos!

I love the colour of this skirt; it's like a dark nude pink-ish colour which is just gorgeous. You know what's better about this outfit? THE PRICE. This outfit is totally affordable from head to toe!

Let's do a quick breakdown:

1. Striped tank from night market in Malaysia-safe to say it's practically free!

2. Cardigan from Joe Fresh- CAD 12.95

3. Skirt from H&M- CAD 12.95

4. Booties from Blowfish via Sterling- CAD 36.99

5. Necklace from American Eagle- CAD 5.60

6. Crossbody bad from American Eagle- CAD 9.75

TOTAL: CAD 78.24 (+tax)

This is a great price for a complete outfit including some awesome shoes!

[smooth transition]

I'll be writing my last paper tomorrow morning and I shall be free for summer! Whee! I already have two parties lined up over the next two days: a belated birthday party for my friend Mary and a year end party with a bunch of cool people. I can't wait!

More updates coming up! Stay tuned lovelies!

bows and specs

The weather does NOT match my mood at all. Why, you may ask? Well, let's just say I kind of bombed my paper today. Bah, at least I did good on my other papers.

On to more light-hearted topics, le outfit!

seeing twins? (:

TNA sweater | Blythe Zoo frilly hem tank | Sirens leggings

I got these super awesome nerdy glasses necklace from a random online retailer; I've actually had people asked me if they were real glasses *facepalm* They're so teeny! Of course they're not actual glasses!

Oh and a super cute bow bangle from the package!

Anyway, I will be going for dimsum tomorrow morning because my friend Gabby is back from Antigua! (: (: I've been craving dimsum since forever! This should be fun!

school spirit

showing some love for my department. (:

I've come to a realization that I don't go out and hang too often...All I do is go to school, go to work, go home. How boring is that?! That also means I have no reason to dress up. Oh my I am such a bum. People come ask me out!

This outfit was a last minute pulled together sort of outfit. It's when I don't give much thought about which pieces I should assemble together to make a rocking outfit, but it will do.

excuse my weird facial expressions, I don't know what I was thinking.

I used one of the badges I got from the package and "made" it a new necklace! This denim heart button is too cute!

random tank top | American Eagle purple tank | Joe Fresh cardigan | random denim shorts

day off

wearing knit top from Forever 21 and harem pants from Mexy (online shop)

mix and match bangles and bracelets from H&M

I had an on call shift at work today but in the end they didn't need me, so I'm super hyped that I got a day off. All I did was walked around the neighbourhood by myself, did some errands, got some groceries, and got lunch. (: Some alone time on a sunny Tuesday.

The term ends this Thursday and there goes my second year of university! If you think about it, I'm halfway done my degree! Time flies, eh? After that comes 3 weeks of finals, and then we say hi to summer!

Just thinking about summer is making me giddy already (: Until now, hopefully everyone's spring is going well so far with pretty flowy dresses and light jackets.

I feel like getting a haircut and new hair colour, AGAIN. Too soon?

20!

Hey everyone!

I just got back from one of my good friend's birthday party. He turned 20 today! So a big shoutout to ANTHONY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY again!

The party was really fun with lots of drinking going on. Unfortunately, I had to drive home so I didn't take a single sip. I'm a responsible driver! (:

Haha, anyway, it was really fun watching people chugging drinks while they can't force me to take any! Oh, and 10 of us chipped in to buy the birthday boy an instax camera as his present. (he actually requested it, how uncool is that!)

This; well this is mine; we got him the white version, so so cute. I wanna trade mine with him!

Here's what I wore to the party; it was a house party so I dressed casual in some of the stuff I got from my haul:

In my current favorite jacket from H&M and my current favorite top from Zara!

Okay I'm drained, gonna catch up on blogs tomorrow!

10 degrees celcius

wearing Talula blazer, Wilfred bustier tank top, American Eagle jeggings, and a pair of awesome flats (gifted) which you obviously can't see from this picture.

It was so sunny today I just had to do the shoot outside. Too bad my neighbour popped out of nowhere and I was too embarrassed to continue shooting. This was my only good shot.

(:

I had no idea my hair was this bright under the sun. This was not photoshopped!

Hopefully tomorrow will be as sunny as the weather forecast has predicted! I will be going work-clothes-shopping downtown, on the streets! Maybe a haul post tomorrow if there are any interesting finds?

To-buy list: (with dress code in mind!)
black (comfy) flats
white dress shirt
knee length pencil skirt
some nice accessories

I have a feeling I will be spending lots. ):

spring!

wearing t-shirt from Zara, floral skirt from online shop (Mexy), quilted bag from online shop (SkyBlue)

Spring is officially here (tomorrow)! You can't expect much from Vancouver though, given that it rains a lot during spring. However, I decided to salute to spring with this ditzy floral skirt paired with a random tee I found and a quilted bag.

(The tee says "Looking good at 9AM" ;p)

Some good news and bad news:

GOOD NEWS- I got a new job! Yay me! I won't tell you where I will be working yet, but the wage is quite competitive considering it's a retail job. However, the job itself is quite challenging because of the brand. I hope I can excel in this new challenge!

BAD NEWS- The job has a strict dress code, ie. black dress pants/skirt+white dress shirt+black shoes. Boring much? Now I have to shop for work clothes before I even start getting cash in my pocket.

WORSE NEWS- I have a midterm this Tuesday and a presentation this Wednesday. 'Nuff said.

Spotted: SUPERMOON! :D

T.G.I.F

Thank God it's Friday! I woke up today and saw a legit panda staring into my face in the mirror. )": My dark circles are never getting better but the opposite. Any special remedies to get rid of them? Enlighten me!!

wearing white sweater from online shop (Mexy), furry vest from Romp, lace shorts from online shop (Base Zoo), necklace from Mimosa, bracelet from...somewhere in Mid Valley, M'sia, but I can't recall which store, haha.

I like how the bracelet perfectly covers the scar on my wrist :D

Have you guys watched the video about a girl from UCLA bashing about Asians in library? I don't know why or how it's gotten to be such a huge matter...it seemed really trivial when I watch it. Somehow a lot of people responded to it and it got blew up. Pfft. The only thing I have to say is that the girl obviously did not learn anything from her classes-she's a Political Science student yet she is openly making racist (not exactly, more like race-sensitive) comments. Har har.

If you haven't watched it yet, go to youtube and search "UCLA asian library" (:

And if you haven't already, go check out my tumblr! :D

new layout?

jump shots and multiple shots are fun. (: quality of photos are bad because I used my webcam instead of camera.

Wearing jersey dress from Propaganda.

I've been debating for a long long time whether or not to convert to a beta template like this. I really liked my old one (I spent quite a lot of time fixing the coding!), but the ultimate reason that made me convert to this new one is the display of Google connect. har har. Oh and I really like the tag cloud they provide. I can't figure out how to code that in html.

So far I'm liking it. (: Though it still needs a bit of tweaking and such as well as better color selections.

SO PEOPLE: please follow me via Google connect :D THANKS.

On to a more tragic note, ever since the Japan earthquake/tsunami incident my Japanese friends have been really worried about their families and friends back home. They've also speculated a tsunami hitting BC as a result of the earthquake. The warning was lifted but still, you never know when disaster hit you. I pray that it won't happen to us in Vancouver also, and I pray that people in Japan will get through this safely!

Lastly, don't forget it's daylight savings today! Fix your clocks/watches around your house or else you'd be late for your appointments!

let's do something shady

Bonjour.

An outfit post just as promised! :D

But first of all, how was everyone's weekend so far? I spent a whole day just lazing around in bed...not good! And then I finally decided to get out at 5 ish, took the transit and now I'm back home.

Guess what was at home waiting for me?

Mom's homemade blueberry cheese tart! Last week, I randomly mentioned how we haven't had mom's cheese tart for a long time and this week she made it. I'm touched :")

These are literally to die for. My mom never use store bought crusts-everything except from the blueberry filling is from scratch! YUMMMMM. And that's not all, my brother just told me there are leftover ice-cream cake from his birthday. I'm gonna gain a couple pounds just one day at home!

):

At least now I can still fit in my clothes; here's what I wore today:

something shady top from Bluenotes; cardi, layering tank, shorts from American Eagle; leggings from Sirens

I think the boyf convinced me to buy this top, or I wouldn't have gotten something this flashy. I like it though ;p it's fun. BTW, finally a different background for my photos! That's because I'm in my old room :D

I wish the weather can get better from here. It was nice to see the sun without the strong wind accompanying it!

Hype it if you like it! (please :D)

gone tribal.

This type of print is pretty much non-existent in my wardrobe until I had my eye on this sheer top. It has just the right amount of tribal that it does not overwhelm me. This was actually from AE's winter collection, but IMO it's a must wear for Spring/Summer '11 because of its sheer.

tribal print top, necklace, jeggings from American Eagle

tank top from Wilfred

OH! If you are reading this, please drop me a comment :D I'd like to know who am I writing to! I will give a shoutout to you in the next post/in your blog if you have one! Whether I know you in person or not, praises, criticisms, hellos, I gladly accept ;p

always my little boy.

Hello hello!

I am blogging from home sweet home right now. Normally it takes about...1.5 hours to get back to my Langley home from where I currently live. Unfortunately, today's untimely snowfall doubled my travelling time. I spent 1 freaking hour in the snow waiting for buses yet none came. When one finally did, it was so packed that I couldn't even get on. I had to catch another bus, take a detour to downtown, then transfer from there. The worse thing was that I was supposed to meet my little brother halfway so that we could go home together but my bus never came so I told him to leave first. We still managed to meet up at our second transfer zone (yeeeeeah Langley is so rural pffft) and waited for the only bus that could take us home (it only comes once every hour). So there goes my little journey of the day.

Speaking of my little brother, he turns 16 today! Happy Birthday to him!

Him being 16 is so surreal. He can officially drive, O-M-G. It seems just like yesterday when he was just my little baby brother, all chubby and shorter than me. Not sure what my parents have planned for celebration, but we'll see. I'm hoping for an ice-cream cake-I'm craving for some. (:

Oh! Here are some pix I promised you guys!

denim shirt-online; tank top-American Eagle; shorts-Romp; knee highs-Le Chateau

raglan top-American Eagle; belt-Garage

Spotted: me experimenting with some knee highs I bought a long time ago. Defo not the right weather to be wearing it. I am not that adventurous.

BTW, today was the last day for my workplace until the re-opening in April, which means I am temporarily jobless with no income. boooohooooo. How am I supposed to shop now?

DILEMMA.

Also, I've been spending my weekend catching up on Gossip Girl. This means I have been ogling at all the pretty (pretty expensive) stuff they're wearing.

Some pix so you get the idea.

See what I mean!?!

These are the times where I wish I hit the jackpot in lotto and win like a million dollars so I can buy all the pretty stuff in the world!

I know, I know it sounds really materialistic an all, but hey, a girl can dream eh? (:
