Las Vegas 'grams

ON ME: TALULA BABATON BLAZER & PANTS, WILFRED TOP, SHOES FROM EBAY

ON HIM: H&M SWEATER & SHIRT, AE JEANS, CLARK'S SHOES

Last month, The Boy and I celebrated our three-year anniversary with a relaxing weekend trip to Las Vegas! I know, I know... "Vegas" and "relaxing" don't generally exist in the same sentence, but we did just that. We stayed at ARIA, which had sleek, modern accommodations - everything was remote controlled! In our three days, we inhaled not one, not two, but three buffets (The Wicked Spoon in The Cosmopolitan was the best one, hands down!), and did a lot of walking to offset the gluttony! We also managed to catch the "Mystère" Cirque du Soleil show, an equally funny and exhilarating acrobatic show which had me on the edge of my seat, mostly because I was concerned someone would fall and casualties would ensue. Fortunately, I can assure you that did not happen! 

I've since come back to work and school in full swing, but have my trip home to Toronto at the end of the month to look forward to! Hope you're all having a great week!

DENIM DREAM

WILFRED QUILTED JACKET + SWEATER, MADEWELL SILK TOP, 7 FOR ALL MANKIND JEANS, STEVE MADDEN SHOES

These photos were snapped on an overcast day in Steveston (lots of great cafes here, my favourite is Rocanini) with The Boy. Pulled this outfit together for a quick, comfy look. I'm not much of a jeans kind of girl, but these 7 For All Mankind "Second Skin" jeans are a dream. They're crazy comfortable and fit just right. I also recently got the jacket - I can't stop wearing it. It's the perfect jacket for in-between Vancouver weather!

ON THE TOWN

WILFRED SCARF/JACKET/TUNIC, T. BABATON PANTS, AMERICAN EAGLE TANK (SIMILAR HERE), ALDO BOOTIES (SIMILAR HERE)

The Boy was here visiting not too long ago, and we spent a day downtown. I had the perfect walking shoes on, and a big scarf to keep me warm! The jacket is a new favourite of mine - it's quilted, comfy goodness with pockets that are nice and roomy. And those pants? For someone with terribly short legs, these cropped pantaloons are a dream!

HOME TIME

WILFRED SCARF, OLD NAVY DENIM JACKET, BRANDY & MELVILLE SWEATER, T. BABATON TUNIC DRESS, AE BOOTS

Two weeks ago, I went back to California for 5 days to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of The Boy and I! It felt like the shortest trip ever, but I did manage to cover both San Francisco and LA, which was more than I could ask for. This set of photos were taken in Berkeley - the weather was perfect for layering! This Wilfred scarf is honestly the best thing - I have it in 3 different colours, and I wear one almost every day. It's warm, long, and doubles as a shawl.

I miss California dearly whenever I'm not there, but looking at photos help me remember what's waiting for me on my next trip. Stay tuned for more posts from my trip - including some yummy food pictures! Thanks for reading!

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

With Halloween now over, I've already seen lots of stores putting up Christmas decorations! Macy's has been totally decked out in holiday cheer. It's actually so strange for me to be seeing Christmas decor in Southern California... as much as I love the sun here, it just doesn't feel right to have Christmas AND warm weather - it's always been one or the other in Toronto!

These photos are actually from last year's trip to NYC - for the past two years, I've been in NYC every holiday season to visit The Boy and his family. I don't really know what it is, but there's always something magical about being in NYC for the holidays... all the city lights, the Christmas store displays, the skating rinks, people milling about... somehow, it just feels right. It doesn't hurt that NYC winters aren't as cold as Toronto ones!

I'm currently in the midst of planning my winter travel route... if all goes well, I'll be flying from Vancouver > Toronto > NYC > Vancouver. What are your plans for this holiday season?

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!
