WOW has it been busy lately… School, work… everything is really starting to pile up. It’s gotten to the point where I really don’t have the time (or energy) to do anything other than go to school, and go to work.

This past weekend was Halloween however, and I actually went out! #MUCHWOW. Went to an event called Dooms. For someone who hasn’t done anything but studied for the past couple of months, I still managed to dance my little butt off for 6 whole hours. BUT that means I am (and probably will be for the next week or so) in recovery mode. HENCE the basic outfit. I also had a presentation at school today, so I pretty much had no choice, but to wear the black blouse and pants combination.

I added my “coatigan” (which is today’s fancy hybrid of a coat and a cardigan), which I got from Express 2 years ago. I think it adds a nice cozy touch to the otherwise boring outfit. I really like how the front of this piece has two, big, flowing lapels. I think it gives it a more dressy look, and I love pairing it with dresses in the colder months.

I usually forget to wear jewelry, but today I remembered to put on my initial necklace from JQ Vancouver. JQ Vancouver is a jewelry seller based out of Vancouver. Currently their jewelry is carried in a few small stores in the area, and sold online on their website. So if you like this little number, go and check them out ! I’ll link their Instagram account here as well.  

Hope your week is no where near as stressful as mine !

Sadly, Vancouver Summer isn’t in full bloom yet, and we still get the occasional cloudy/rainy day now and again. And it just so happened that the first day I brought my Stans home, was a cloudy one. I’ve also been using the hell out this new little pleather backpack that I bought online. It’s big enough to fit most things that I want / need to bring around with me, but isn’t so big that it weighs me down. This whole outfit put together definitely threw me back to the high school days a little. 

Sweater : Noul

Tshirt : Uniqlo

My first post in the fashion category! How exciting ! And on Valentine’s Day too. Although this post probably won’t go up until the end of V-day, these were all taken shortly after brunch with the girls. We went to Yolks which is located in a very industrial part of Vancouver, down by E. Hastings and Knight St. So we took advantage of cool backdrops and got some outfit of the day pictures !

This Valentine’s Day is the first one in a while that I’ve spent single, so I decided on an all-black outfit to mourn for my love life and match my soul. Ha. Ha. Deep right? (Not really, I’m actually really lame in real life). You can’t really tell, but my scarf is actually a deep maroon colour, so technically I was still dressed to celebrate Valentine’s day… sort of.

Outfit Details :

Jacket : Armani Exchange

Top : Zara

Bralette : Aritzia

Jeans : BDG (Urban Outfitters)

Shoes : Spring

Scarf : Wilfred (Aritzia)

Bag : Celine

Ever since I purchased this Aritzia pop art blanket scarf, I pretty much haven’t put it down. The size, the thickness, the colour, the design; It’s the perfect scarf for me. Now when I try on any other scarfs, nothing feels the same. I think it’s mostly the texture and size of the scarf that makes it so appealing to me. Because you can wear it diagonally and long like how I wore it in the photo, or you can wrap it around and wear it thick and large ! (It kind of looks like an infinity scarf when you wrap it around your neck once or twice). Sadly, it’s known as the “basic b*tch” scarf because pretty much every girl in Vancouver owns one. But that’s okay, I love it nonetheless.

Now that I’ve got TWO friends who started up blogs, Terri and Janice, hopefully I will be able to get them to help me take outfit pictures more often !

More soon,
