It's definitely getting colder outside (and rainier, if you live in Vancouver) as Winter is creeping up on us, but I'm still trying to embrace the Fall season before I start breaking out the down-filled parkas. I put together a few looks that I hope will inspire you to do the same! If I had to pick one item as a must-have for the transition between Fall and Winter, it would definitely have to be the fur vest. The word "fur" may sound expensive, but I was able to find a great deal here at Forever21!  

I hope you've all been keeping warm - have a great week, thanks for reading!

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:

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

   

Thanks for reading! Have a great week!

SDAFF x MAHAL STYLE x DEESVIE

This year at SDAFF, we were lucky to collaborate with the awesome team at Mahal Style, who graciously offered to do some pre-festival coverage as well as some red carpet coverage on the night of our Awards Gala Dinner! They interviewed a handful of people in the local San Diego area prior to the festival to create some buzz about the events to come. When they asked me to be one of the interviewees, I was nervous - I'd never done an interview like this before, but I'm really glad that I did it!

Everyone should head over to Mahal Style to check out what they're all about - an amazing community of fashion lovers, arts + culture awareness, and all about loving the skin you're in! Follow them on Twitter: @MahalStyle and like them on Facebook: facebook.com/MahalStyle. I definitely hope to work with them again in the future.

DENIM & LEOPARD

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!

I'm Diana - but don't be a stranger, call me Dee. It took me a heck of a long time to finally get the guts to do this, but here it is: my first blog about fashion, food, and tidbits of other things I enjoy in life. I'm a Canadian (oh, yes) who is currently residing in sunny Southern California in hopes of finding her place here on the west coast. It's a journey in progress - along the way, I hope you will join me in my experiences and endeavours... and I, with yours. Cheers!
