The Style Spy's "Girl of the Week"!

Happy Monday, everyone! A few weeks ago, The Style Spy contacted me and asked if I would be willing to be featured as "Girl of the Week" - I was more than happy to oblige! The post went live this past Friday, and is currently featured on the front page of their website. Swing by and have a gander! It was such fun thinking of answers to their interview questions - I hope you'll enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. Many thanks to Nicole at The Style Spy for reaching out to me and making this post possible!

Here's a closer look at the outfit I chose to wear for that photo:

  TALULA BABATON BLOUSE & PANTS, OAK + FORT JACKET, FOREVER21 NECKLACE & SHOES, MICHAEL KORS WATCH, MARC BY MARC JACOBS BAG  

...And a bonus shot with my dog, Hailey! This photo pretty much sums up our relationship.

   

Thanks for reading! Have a great week!

THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

VINTAGE DENIM VEST (SIMILAR), OLD NAVY CROPPED TEE, BRANDY MELVILLE SKIRT, MARC BY MARC JACOBS BAG, MICHAEL KORS WATCH

For our two-year anniversary, The Boy and I went to The Happiest Place on Earth - Disneyland! It certainly is my happiest place on Earth. If I actually lived in California, there's no doubt I'd buy a pass so I could go whenever I want! I finally acquired my very own pair of mouse ears, which now hang on the wall above my bed, waiting for the next visit to Disneyland (or Disneyworld!).

I love everything about the park - the food, the hustle and bustle, the shops, the rides... you name it! The Tower of Terror is by far my favourite ride. It seriously never gets old. That feeling where your stomach is in your throat gets me every time!

As for the outfit, I thought I'd wear something happy for the occasion. This skirt always makes me think of warm summer days and good times!

DENIM ON DENIM

MADEWELL CHAMBRAY SHIRT, GAP JEANS, URBAN OUTFITTERS FLATS, MARC BY MARC JACOBS BAG

Another outfit from my trip to California! Threw this together on a rushed morning. These Gap jeans are quite old - I absolutely love the length and wash, but my only tiff with them is that they stretch majorly throughout the day.

Looking at these photos make me miss the sunshine so much - the Vancouver rain isn't stopping anytime soon!

DON'T YOU HATE SOCKS?

TNA by ARITZIA BEANIE + SOCKS, CHEAP MONDAY MILITARIA DRESS, MADEWELL SWEATER DRESS, AMERICAN APPAREL TIGHTS, EASTLAND SHOES, MARC BY MARC JACOBS BAG

Here's another set of photos I took up in Berkeley while visiting The Boy. I really the neighbourhoodly feel that Berkeley has - it's a very quaint place with lots of really great local boutiques and amazing coffee shops. My personal favourite is Sack's Coffee House - lots of tables, a great selection of teas, and a grungy, cellar-type feel that's somehow very relaxing.

This sweater dress was something I picked up at Madewell (quite possibly my favourite store, ever). It's so comfortable and very appropriate for Fall, though I may have plucked it out of the closet to wear a tad early since I was sweltering in it that day. I am normally not a fan of socks at all, but these TNA by Aritzia socks were just too soft to pass up. I figured I would need socks sooner or later. These Eastland shoes go with the whole comfort pattern and are perfect for giving any outfit that rugged, undone look. The tear in the stockings were unintentional, but I guess they worked out nicely here.

I spent the weekend battling what I think is the flu, and am still dealing with its stubborn effects. I hope to be back to full health by the end of this week - lots of things to do, lots of people to see!

DENIM & LEOPARD

RAY-BAN AVIATORS, WILFRED VIA ARITZIA SCARF, MADEWELL DENIM SHIRT, BRANDY & MELVILLE MAXI SKIRT, AE BOOTS, MARC BY MARC JACOBS BAG

I attended the AMP Music Festival not too long ago, a festival showcasing Asian American talent. It was nice to be able to put a living face to some of the YouTube artists that I'd been following over the years! And really, I would just never say no to good live music.

Found this colourful corner at the festival and thought it'd be a nice place to shoot. These boots... oh, these boots. I had been searching high and low for a pair just like them that wouldn't require me to sacrifice comfort nor too much money. These boots appeared before my very eyes while I was reading a Refinery29 slideshow, and I knew I had to have them.

This week is a busy one, but look forward to something different that I will be posting on Friday! All I will say is, you might want to get a bib ready in case you drool on your keyboard!
