i’ve been internet-less for almost a week now. not very blog friendly, no no. i love my new jumper. it sorta feels like a costume. it’s huge and can barely fit under any of my winter coat...
new shoesies gifted from NastyGal. they are aptly named the perfect platform. why? cuz they are just that. height plus that super weightlessness that make walking in them clunk-free. *TIP* buy half a...
i call this look: rebel school boy meets yeti. i bought these shorts last year and they’ve been a staple ever since. i like how they are longer than what i usually wear. i’ve also been pl...

this will be my first chinese new year in china and i’m pretty excited to see what it’s gonna be like. nic and i went to the store today to get ‘supplies’. apparently it’...
i love houndstooth suddenly. especially in this deep dark forest green. i’m also totally in love with the ‘suit’ seen everywhere this fall and spring. this is very prep, but more sa...
this sweater is a little inappropriate for such cold weather but i don’t care! it’s super sexy but i think in a very subtle way. It’s also great layered on top of a tshirt, giving n...
goodbye 2011, hello 2012. despite finding the whole reminiscing of yesteryear to be sorta cheesy, I will do exactly that now. just cuz i like hearing my own thoughts….and it is cathartic in a w...

ok! so week one is over in beijing. I have to say that despite the bone-chilling cold, I like Beijing much more in the winter. There are less people on the roads and the city feels a little less poll...
i’m heading back to beijing this coming Monday…it’s so weird. 2 months. what seemed originally like eternity has turned into a second. a flicker, really. i’ve just had enough ...
i’m feeling sorta romantic lately…fancied something pretty and floral. this zara blouse fits the bill and has the most perfect little collar. wearing Zara blouse, vintage leather pants, M...
i love this mohair aqua koolaid sweater i got from H&M. it sheds everywhere like crazy but has the coolest color gradient (in sweater form) i’ve seen in a long time. so pretty. i’m re...
winter is upon us in vancouver! i love the cold here. it’s so crisp and refreshing, definitely what i need after six months living in polluted beijing. speaking of which, i’m heading back...
i love this suit. one of the bonuses of living in asia is everything is made small. sometimes in north america i have a hard time finding the right sizes, but in china the ‘free size’ is ...
1. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: the texture is like a fine powder that you mix with water and then lather into face. the results are pretty amazing. Skin is softer, brighter. I use this few times...
my favorite new coat. wool + leather? equals subtle perfection. this is totally what i’m about right now. super simple items that have big impact. wearing Zara pumps and jacket; Yesstyle faux l...
….is killing me. being away from someone you love is killer. i give kudos to anyone who has done long distance…and survived it! i think at first the transition from human-to-human contact...
big thank you to ryan and everyone else involved in this blogger feature in november’s issue of FLARE!
so what is it now? week 3? almost week 4 since leaving beijing. it’s taken me some time to re-adjust back to north america….not because it isn’t great to be home, but because i̵...
before i went to beijing, i felt like my style was a little messy. a little haphazard. but after six months of living out of a suitcase with 1/10th of my closet at my disposal i learned how to be hyp...
like many out there, when i first saw the givenchy rottweiler print, i knew i had to have it. instead of righteously dolling out four hundred bucks for what is essentially a silk printed sweater, I b...
Big thank you to Rosalie + LouLou for featuring me in October’s fashion-packed issue. Go pick up yours now!!!!
my favorite time of the year will forever be fall. despite beijing’s less than favorable summers and winters, the fall is awesome and reminiscent of home. cracking open the window and being gre...
warning: imminent verbal vomit in 3..2..1…i’m supposed to leave beijing on sept 19th. i want to, but i also don’t. i’ve stayed here longer because of someone. someone who is b...
so after spending one week stranded in Hong Kong, I finally made my way back to Beijing. Long story short, I was supposed to fly back to Vancouver last Monday but missed a connecting flight, got stra...

when i was fussing with my hair earlier i decided i’d do the one thing i’ve always abhorred: flip OUT the ends. even looking at these pictures makes me feel a little squirmy. I’ve j...
