vintage shopping on a saturday afternoon

Finally back at home for christmas, and it feels wonderful!
I just want to stay and hibernate here for a month and do nothing all day except for visit some off the wall kitschy shops and drink bubble tea with friends. And have mini photoshoots of course ;)
Today me and HSL went out for lunch at this super old place uptown called Harmony Lunch. It was decorated in an olden breakfast diner style and the people were old to match. This one asshole granny kept shooting us death glares, she's probably never seen a camera before.






Afterwards, we went to a huge vintage store at an undisclosed location. It was my first time there, and it was pretty sick. The location was huge and there were many little nooks full of odd knick knacks. They had everthing from old photo albums to vintage cameras to fox fur mufflers.
She brought along her DSLR and we took some pictures! It's our little secret ;)

Closet Revival

I've been meaning to revamp my outfits for a while now, except for the fact that I've been rather low on moolah :(
Now that I finally got a job, I can spendddd and contribute to the economy! (and my wardrobe)
Here's the top ten things I want to add to my closet:
1. Black boyfriend blazer. I've been wanting one of these for half a year now, but I haven't managed to find one that looks nice on me/within a reasonable budget!

2. Moccasins/booties. The cold Canadian winter is approaching, and I need cute yet functional shoes to get me from res to classes !

3. Doc Marten combat boots. Not the ones with the intense rubber soles, but ones that look like this:

4. Winter Jacket! Preferably one that won't make me look like a marshmallow, I'm thinking of maybe a TNA fur hooded parka. I never really appreciated the look of them until I started working there. ha. ha.


5. Silky dressy top. A must for interviews, parties, evenings out. A multi purpose comfortable garment I can just slip on and goooo
6. Boyfriend shirt. Something comfortable and loose I can just belt at the waist or pair with a cardigan.
7. Floaty/high waisted skirt, preferably one with a little pouf since I already have a spandexy type black one. This item is so trend, but a girl can never have enough of these now staple items.


8. Party Dress. I've had my eye on a metallic brocade type dress from H&M for $50, but I don't really want to shell out the money. I couldn't find the look on their website but this skirt is of the same pattern and material.

Alternately,those black lace dresses have caught my eye as well. Like this one from Aritzia.


9. Wollen sweater, preferably with those Peruvian-esque patterns on them. Again, need to look for winter appropriate clothing.

10. Patterned tights! I already own quite a few pairs from polka dot to bow pattern, but I want more. Maybe a nice floral/rose pattern, lace pattern, or heart pattern to add to my arsenal?





And that sums up my top ten must haves for the beginning of november! ;)
I know I prolly can't afford to acquire all these lovely items, but a girl can try!

Goodbye for now,

Nuit Blanche

What are my thoughts on Scotiabank's Nuit Blanche 09?
To be honest, it was slightly disappointing.
It was my first time going, and after a huge meal from Salad King my Ry fashion buds and I set off on our night time journey.
We were pretty excited at first, but had a bit of difficulty locating some exhibits.
We went to the funhouse exhibit first, which we thought had funhouse mirrors and the like, but were greeted with old people dressed in spandex in seizure-inducing patterns and colours. They were wailing and chanting and it was quite freaky. The people who came out to watch just stood around them looking rather dumbfounded.
This was the typical reaction to most of the exhibits, such as the Ice Queen.
I am one to appreciate art - I actually like trying to understand the message the artist is trying to convey through whatever mediums. However, most of the stuff at Nuit Blanche was a bit too much of the same, bewildering act most people cannot appreciate.
A few cool things were the Rabbit Balloon and the fashion showing at the Chang School, but I am partial to that since I helped set up the Jocelyn Teng exhibit : )
Her structural canvas pieces were really amazing, and working with her to set up the mannequines was a great opportunity, she was so nice :) They were also showing Lucian Matis and another designer's pieces. I just have to say, Lucian Matis is definitely an attractive looking guy! He's a Ryerson fashion alumni, and very talented too! I saw him again today when attending FGI's Fashion Next event : )

Anyways, here are some pictures from that night :)








Sorry for the rather late update, this event happened October 3rd.

GOODBYE FOR NOW,

Skins

It's been a while since my last post since university started and all. I also kinda forgot my google account username/password combo too haha.

So I came home for the thanksgiving weekend and saw my friends yesterday.
We made a korean meal and had pumpkin pie for dessert. We also tried to make shirley temples but they failed miserably :(


We started watching this british tv show called Skins.

It's about teenage drama,issues, partying, and other exciting stuff like that.
Also contains quite a lot of nudity .. oooh la laaa ; )
What caught my attention was the main guy.. wow he's so incredibly good looking!
His name on the show is Tony Stonem and his real name is Nicholas Hoult. His character is the confident, scheming bad boy type ;)
Photo for reference:

DAYUMMMMMM SEXYYY
The only thing about him that's a bit odd is his really defined eyebrows, but I think I'll look past that; his blue eyes and face structure well makes up for it <3.
I usually can't stand british accents but we actually watched 5 episodes in a row. .
Maybe I'll add this to my very limited list of dramas I actually watch, 90210 being the only other one.

GOODBYE FOR NOW,
and Happy Thanksgiving!

New Cell Phone?

I have the green light to get a new cell phone while I'm here in China, and I really want a cute LG cyon Lollipop or Ice Cream!
The Ice Cream model came out first, and I was really attracted to the sweet pastel shades and LED display on the front of the phone. The CF with Big Bang and Kim Tae Hee was also very suiting to the phone and cute to match.
I heard of the Lollipop version through 2EN1's debut and collaboration with Big Bang, and me and all my friends were so into the whole disco/groovy concept and song.

UPDATE:
Yes, I got the LG ice cream because the Lollipop wasn't available in HK
I love it!
The only cons is that it sometimes freezes when receiving/sending text messages.

Me posing with my ice cream ~ (my face looks kinda wierd... )


GOODBYE FOR NOW,
