Seeing Stripes

CARDIGAN, TANK TOP: MICHAEL STARS. HAREM PANTS: EVER. PUMPS: YSL. BANGLE, BRACELETS: CC SKYE, LOUIS VUITTON.

Stripes on stripes: Too much of a good thing? I think not. REVOLVEclothing was kind enough to send me this Michael Stars cardigan and tank top recently. REVOLVE was one of the first websites I ever started ordering online from, and we've been happy ever since. For more, go to their blog.

XOXO,

I Thought of a Clever Title for This Post But Then I Forgot It

BOYFRIEND BLAZER: CLUB MONACO. SWEATER: JNBY. BOOTIES: GUCCI. BAG: CHANEL. RING: CC SKYE.

Last day of February and the 2010 Winter Olympics. I have never been more proud to be Canadian than right now. The vibe in Vancouver is unreal. Pardon me for not wearing red; I'm color blind when it comes to my own wardrobe. Off to celebrate nevertheless.

XOXO,

Finally, An Outfit Post

SWEATER: GRYPHON. LACE CYCLE SHORTS, TIGHTS: AMERICAN APPAREL. PUMPS: YSL.

XOXO,

Just Another Day

RAGLAN PULLOVER: AMERICAN APPAREL. SEQUIN LEGGINGS: SIWY. MESH SANDALS: STELLA MCCARTNEY. WATCH: GUCCI.

...running errands in my sequin leggings (more like pants if you ask me). No big deal. This is my last outfit post with my hair up. Thursday I'm having my extensions removed. Knowing me, I'll probably have them put in again in 6 to 8 months. I also need to get my roots retouched in the most ridiculous way but unfortunately, I have to wait until next Friday. Can't trust the hair to just any ol' body.

XOXO,

If I Were a Boy

JACKET: VEDA. CARDIGAN: VINCE. TANK TOP, SOCKS: AMERICAN APPAREL. HAREM PANTS: EVER. BOOTIES: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN.

Failed attempt of doing a side braid. I'm bringing a whole new meaning to socks and sandals. I wore these Christian Louboutin 'Deva' booties to death during the summer. Thank goodness for Parson's Shoe Re-New for bringing them back to life again.

Speaking of shoes, move over Gucci, these are now at the top of my must-have list for spring right now. It also comes in a tan leather color which I'm considering. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I assure you I'd much rather have a warm somebody next to me than any material trend, but a pair of YSL shoes is good too.

XOXO,

Feeling Neutral

WRAPAROUND CARDIGAN, JEANS: ALICE + OLIVIA. TANK TOP: AMERICAN APPAREL. PUMPS: YSL.

Here's an update:

• Thank you as always for the wonderful comments and emails. I promise I'll get back to you guys tonight.


• As some of you already know, I no longer work with Gucci. At first I was upset, then I got pissed, now I don't care. When one door closes, another one opens. This past Tuesday I started my new job as MIT for JNBY. If you don't know what either of those abbreviations stand for, I feel sorry for you.


• I wore these YSL 'Faubourg' pumps on my first day. I was told I would only last 3 hours in them before bringing out my flats. I officially lasted for 6. Mission = Success.


• My mom came for a quick visit earlier this week. I always feel like I gain 10 lbs when she's here; 20 if my dad comes too. After living on your own, you grow accustomed to buying more clothes and less food... Or maybe that's just me?


• I've decided that I'm going to have my extensions removed and go back to short hair in early February. I get bored of my look easily.


• For all you Facebook loyals, I've also decided to create a Fan Page. Add me if you haven't already. All the cool people are doing it hehe.

Bex of The Styling Bee drew this adorable cartoon portrait of me. Thanks girlie!

XOXO,

Vancouver's Own Fashion Mafia

PHOTOGRAPHER: DANIEL FLEMING.

We are a force to be reckoned with. Last week I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot collaboration with fellow bloggers and friends, Vanessa of The Haute Pursuit and Peter of The Starving Stylist. In the words of Vanessa herself (she came up with this wonderful idea), "We want to show people that you don't need to go all the way to New York to find inspiration and Sartorialist-like photography. You can find it right in your backyard!" Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes video, complete with individual and group Q&A, and utterly embarrassing clips of me laughing hysterically for no apparent reason.

I'm wearing Alexander Wang jacket, Kettle Black bustier, Wilfred pants, YSL pumps, Gucci watch and Chanel bag. Vanessa is wearing Zara jacket, vintage Guns N' Roses tee, H&M pants, Ashish for Topshop leopard platform wedge and Marc Jacobs bag. Peter is wearing Zara jacket, Club Monaco cardigan, McQ by Alexander McQueen shirt, H&M bow tie, RA:RE jeans, Doc Martens boots and Balenciaga bag.

XOXO,

It Could All Be So Simple

TURTLE NECK: CLUB MONACO. JEANS: J BRAND. PUMPS: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN. WATCH: GUCCI. CLUTCH: LOUIS VUITTON.

This outfit is dedicated to my friend, T.

XOXO,

Animal Instincts

MOTORCYCLE JACKET: H&M. BOYFRIEND SHIRT: TALULA. T-SHIRT: CHRISTOPHER KANE. JEANS: CITIZENS OF HUMANITY. THIGH HIGH BOOTS: ZARA. SCARF: LOUIS VUITTON. BAG: CHANEL.

I'm wearing my new favorite red lipstick by MAC. Fresh Moroccan > Ruby Woo.

P.S. This is my new theme song. I want it to play every time I enter a room.

XOXO,

NSFW

BLOUSE: WILFRED. LACE BODYSUIT, PANTS: AMERICAN APPAREL. BOOTIES: GUCCI.

I'm getting used to posting more often; I haven't decided yet if that's a good or bad thing. This lace bodysuit is my latest purchase from American Apparel. I love it, except when I have to use the little ladies room and I turn into one of those annoying girls who take forever in the stall (sorry).

I lose interest in things quickly and as a result, disabled my formspring account. I don't know what part of "please don't ask a question I've already previously answered" some people don't understand. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I still get a good amount of emails asking me about shopping and trends and what I like and why. Truth be told, with the exception of shopping online, I rarely go into a store with a specific idea of what I want and instead just grab whatever appeals to me. I think people rely too much on the opinions of others when they really should just dress how they feel in that exact moment.

XOXO,

Life As I Know It

JACKET: MARLEY. TANK TOP: T BY ALEXANDER WANG. CORSETRY BRA: SILENCE & NOISE. NECKLACE: CHANEL.

Today I woke up at noon and spent the afternoon taking unnecessary amount of Photo Booth photos. Productive, I know. With all this free time after last week's drastic turn of events, I'm at a loss what to do with myself. It all seems very strange and unfamiliar to me and quite frankly, I'm bored beyond description.

I'm glad many of you are enjoying my Q&A on formspring. Keep 'em coming; just please don't ask a question I've already previously answered. It's no fun being asked the same question in different wording ten times. Also, there are certain things I refuse to comment on. I'm an avid believer some things are better left unsaid.

XOXO,

When It Rains, It Pours

RAGLAN PULLOVER: TNA. SHORTS, SOCKS: AMERICAN APPAREL. PLATFORM SANDALS: GUCCI.

It's not really raining. It's actually nice out, but I'm inside drowning myself in a gallon of cookies 'n cream ice cream while watching The Hangover (god, I love that movie). Uncle Karl would not approve. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. Details are unnecessary, but after you've faced the worst, your days can only get better... Or so my horoscope says. I hope it's right.

XOXO,

Life is Never Easy for Those Who Dream

LEATHER JACKET: VEDA. T-SHIRT: AMERICAN APPAREL. JEANS: CURRENT/ELLIOTT. BOOTS: ALEXANDER WANG.

This leather jacket is my first purchase of 2010. I'm absolutely smitten with the funnel collar and off-center zip closure, not to mention the color. That said, however, I need to remind myself to get my shit together and spend less money on clothes (shoes and handbags excluded) and more towards trips. I want to go to Toronto and New York this year; my future residence, one or the other. I don't belong with the pretentious types that consume Vancouver. East coast, here I come!

XOXO,
