NYE 2012: The Dress...

Wow, major case of insomnia here lol.  I've actually been up cleaning my room and only finished now haha..'Tis what happens when visitors are coming over for dinner.

This year we are going to party it up for 2012! We are going to be at the Fairmont Waterfront--it's going to be a fun night!

Here are my two options...

Bright Nights Train Ride 2011

As previously mentioned, The Bright Nights Train Ride at Stanley Park is an annual tradition that we try not to miss--not even in the rain!

We had a package with dinner included, but since it was packed at Old Spaghetti Factory we had to opt for a faster type of meal--Vera's Burger.  It was delish nonetheless!

We ended the night at Kwong Chow Congee Noodle House for their Congee and Spare Ribs in spicy salt and pepper.

Train Ride...The Polar Express!

During the train ride, there was a new attraction--Polar Express! The conductor (which would have been Tom Hanks in the movie) would dance around to the Polar Express scene and train backdrop...It was not bad actually, better to see it for yourself!

Train ride Part 1

 

An annual tradition for my bf and I, the Bright Nights Train Ride!

It was a package, dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory and two tickets to the train ride.  We tried to take advantage of having dinner before going on the train ride but since it was amazingly crazy at the restaurant tonight (was everyone using their dinner vouchers!?) we had to postpone for another night..

Here is the first video I shot at the start of the train ride.  With pics to follow!

Winter Warmth

It's weird to think that winter only started three days before Christmas Eve! lol..the winter chill always gets around the beginning of December, then heightens during the 21st--Winter Solstace!

When i was younger, the finer the sweater was spun the better.  I hated chunky sweaters and of course, anything 'cable knit' was too frumpy!  Of course as I've grown older I've learned to appreciate the chunkier knits for their soft, comfy 'blanket-ish' feel.

Check out my two recent chunky sweater purchases for winter!

Boxing Day 2011: shop til' we dropped! (almost lol)

This is an annual tradition with my cousin for years now.   We join the thousands of shoppers in the annual tradition after christmas day to hunt for the best deals, otherwise known as Boxing Day!

This year we started earlier...It was necessary considering I had my eye on a few things lol.

To see what I bought...read on!

One last party before the party!

My bf and I had a date night and party'd the night away the eve before Christmas eve.  I love having date nights with my bf...even the rain didn't deter us from having some fun!

Christmas in Vancouver..love!

My cuz and I decided to venture out to downtown Vancouver to check out their lovely holiday decor and take some pics...

Mery Christmas and Happy Boxing Day! (belated)

Hello lovelies!

I hope that everyone had a great christmas like i did this year...lots more blessings than problems so I'm happy!  Of course the holidays weren't without abit of drama but it's what makes life more real and interesting right?

Christmas dinner went of like a hitch even though a few people were more than an hour late, but the food was great...We had the traditional turkey, stuffing, beef rendang(!? lol) mashed and sliced potatoes, baked salmon and more!  It was a gourmet delight and we have my cuz and her familia to thank for slavin away all day for the feast!

Two days later was Boxing Day!

lots of goodies in store, and equally many shoppers eagerly shopping!  We got mauled a few times bu survived the day with stuff we wanted.  I got a good haul out of it! lol..I will post soon!

Next up....New Years Eve dinner at my house and party! lol.

How did everyone's holiday go?

BCBG Resort 2012: Santa came early this year! =)

What better way to ring in the new year than...

*pause for effect*

BCBG's Resort 2012 Collection!

I love the vibrant spring colors and the flowy dresses and tops...If you have a moment, don't forget to check out the collection now online! (and I bet instores).

Pasta Tuesdays and the ponytail!

It's tuesday night..where else to go but Boston Pizza for Pasta Tuesdays! lol.  It's a good time to load up on carbs lol.

While I usually wear my hair down if not always, but I rushed to get ready for work this morning and thought it best to keep it up from then.

I've been wearing my hair up more and more, usually the ponytail, and sometimes for a twist, i'll braid the top middle part...its cute and practical! lol.

Mondays...so black and white.

Mondays are not usually days I dress up for work--still recovering from the weekend, I usually dress down and low key until I adjust my sleeping patterns to somewhat normal levels lol.  Last monday however even though I woke up in my usual somewhat groggy state,  I felt better after my shower and decided to dress it up for once!

One of my fave dresses of the moment, the houndstooth pattern is always a classy choice for a work attire--it doesn't hurt that black and white are my fave color combos! lol I know, you're thinking, this girl must not have a wild imagination for colors, well....you're right lol.  I'm usually monochromatic, clean and simple when I can help it!

Pardon the ragged worn-out makeup look lol, i took these pics after coming home from work instead of before-hand lol. 

The fine art of gift-giving

My tree is trimmed and the fireplace has its stockings.  I am all excited for the holidays which are now in full swing...

The one thing I have still to finish? The gifts! lol.

This year, I'm not going all out with presents, just for close loved-ones and the exchange gift at the family christmas dinner.  The one person who I am having a hard time for this year? my boyfriend.  For someone who ends up buying anything he may want or need, it's hard to find that special gift that says 'i love you'. 

What do you give your significant other for the holidays?

Christmas Party weekend!

This weekend was a crazy busy weekend filled with both mine and my boyfriend's work christmas parties.  The weekend started off with us rushing to get to River Rock Hotel & Casino, check in right away and then make sure that everything is set up at Tramonto Restaurant for the dinner.

Most everyone was late, and unfortunately my other boss didn't make it due to a personal reason, but all in all it was a great night and things went off without a hitch.  The field guys behaved themselves for the most part and we did our company name proud.

On Saturday, we went to my bf's work party at the Convention Centre downtown.  It was a little hard nursing a slight hangover from the night before but we made it on time to check in, relax and enjoy the room before rushing to get ready and getting down in time for the announcement to take our seats.  It was very different from my work christmas party as it was over 3000 people in attendance!  I had fun even if the headache didn't really go away.  The party was a success, and big enough that it included a football sized main area, and a small jazz lounge upstairs! lol.  It was an amazing night.

if you wanna see both my outfits and the rest of the pics...

Can't get enough of...

Okay, so it's not like I don't have enough shoes already...From a previous post, the shoe shelf doesn't exactly plead my case for my need for more shoes lol.  I just couldn't resist! I don't normally buy shoes from Aldo, but this one just kinda leaped out of the bunch and said 'buy me!' lol. 

Love, love these shoes! Metal heel, platform that goes upto about 5 inches? it's a match made in shoe heaven!

my new sunglasses!

So I got an early stocking stuffer from santa this year--I musta been real good this year! lol.  I know it's 4 degrees right now and barely a hole in the clouds to indicate any kind of sunshine, but I always get things out of season anyways lol so it's nothing new to me!

I've been wanting a good pair of aviator sunglasses for a long while now, and although my first choice was to get the coveted pair of ray-bans, I opted to go another direction when the opportunity popped up....

BCBG Personality test: Charm Schooled!

This morning I was interrupted by our IT because a back-up had to be done for my work-related software.  I was happy to oblige seeing as how it gave me a bit of time to sip some coffee and check out my fave sites! lol.

I happened upon the BCBG Personality Test online while perusing their website for the latest and greatest..afterall, I needed to scope out anything I may try to get during boxing day! lol.

wanna know which one I am?

Happy December 1st! Let the festivities begin...

The tree is up, fireplace mantle has our stockings hanging and the poinsettas are out on display...

yep, it's definitely christmas!

Now that it's December 1st, it's more socially acceptable to greet everyone 'merry christmas' and moreover, it is more than ok to string up the outdoor lights and sing carols--even have christmas parties! I am more than excited to go to two christmas work parties and enjoy the holiday festivities around town. 

What do you do in town to stay festive and merry?

If you're in town in the Vancouver area and looking for festivities, please don't forget these annual traditions:

Festival of Lights at Van Dusen Botanical Gardens.  It's been a tradition for me every year to go with my boyfriend and enjoy the lights, (the coldness lol) the dancing light show at their pond and take lots of pictures!

Bright Nights Train Ride at Stanley Park.  Another fun tradition for me and the bf, we take a 10 minute (i think) train ride through their nicely decorated holiday park!  I love taking a ride in their mini train.  We usually like to do the dinner and train ride package...A dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory with I believe $11 redeemable for an entree for each ticket and then a ticket to the train ride!

but....Don't forget a welcomed addition...

The Robson Square Ice Rink! It just officially opened today! Want to skate in the open fresh air and have hot chocolate right at the heart of downtown Vancouver!?  Here's your chance! It's open til' late every night!

I hope everyone enjoys the holidays as much as I am!

Face Time Gala!

Today The Bay at Richmond Centre held its annual Cosmetic and Fragrance Gala.

We look forward to it every year since all the holiday gift sets and limited editions come out during this time.  There were lots of appies (of which I wasn't able to sample *tear*) drinks and such.  There were draws for prizes that went on for most of the night as well.

I would say that all in all it was a successful night!

 

check it out!

Gala Time! The Bay Richmond's Annual Cosmetic Gala

So every year my cousin and I get excited about the upcoming gala held at the Richmond Centre location of Hudson's Bay Department Store aka The Bay.  It is a night of pampering and self-loathing in everything that is cosmetic and fragrance related.  I love going to galas ever since I worked there (and even volunteered for one, wedding related lol).  There are give-aways, appies and drinks--and most of all....shopping!

I am super-excited to visit the MAC booth, Nars and even Christian Dior.  There's always good deals to be had!  Last year I spent quite abit at MAC! lol.  There are lots of great stuff to purchase, and I believe $8 of your ticket goes towards your purchase, while $2 goes towards charity. 

So not only will you get to find great gifts for yourself and others, you also get to contribute to charity! It's a win-win!

Hope to see you there for those in the area!

Happy Cyber Monday!

Happy Monday all!

I trust everyone had a great and fun-filled thanksgiving in US (for our neigHbors across the border) and that Canadians had their fill of Black Friday shopping--even scored some deals lol.  I stayed local this season, sadly, but still had a fun time with the cousin galavanting and window-shopping.

Sadly, there were no deals to be had within our own backyard...That's ok, I can wait til' Boxing Day! lol. 

For those that aren't quite familiar, today is Cyber Monday.  Lots of great deals online to be had, but just be aware that there are also scams floating around from not so reputable dealers. 

If you find a deal too good to be true, and it's not accredited or verified then i'd say it's not wise to go through with it!

Happy Cyber hunting!

The party dress...

The end of this year has been quite a curse and a blessing for me.  My New York trip was cancelled for a serious reason, and as devastating as it was, I am glad everything worked out for the best in the end.  The holiday season has also blessed me with lots of fun events to go to!  Two christmas parties (my own work and my bf's work), New Years Eve in downtown and a wedding in the beginning of the year!

As such, I've been planning my outfits carefully so as not to repeat and at the same time spend too much! lol..

This is my first dress, to be worn at my bf's work christmas party...

MAC: false lashes extreme black

I recently bought the False Lashes Mascara from MAC on a whim one day at the mall...

results?

Seattle Weekend Part 2

So this weekend my boyfriend and I went to Seattle for the long weekend once again.  It was only a month before that we'd gone but I needed to start on my xmas shopping and finding a dress for the back-to-back holiday office parties lined up in the beginning of December.

Unfortunately I was unable to accomplish the tasks I had set up for myself, but did find some amazing deals for what I call 'fall/winter essentials' !

Check out my mini haul after the jump...

Fall/Winter cuteness!

$6 Toque from Suzy shier...

No reason to look frumpy just because it's cold outside!

Leather: day to night

Faux Leather leggings...

From day to night, it gives an edgy look.

VFW Spring/Summer 2011: Lauren Elaine swimwear

This afternoon my cousin and I checked out a show at Masik Studios...

check out the rest of the pics from the show!

Sound the Alarm!

I am a creature of habit, and as such I stick to what I know, what I'm comfortable with and what works.  It's hardly a motto for someone into fashion, because we all know that just as seasons change, so does fashion.

I do have the experimental side of me that likes to try new things once in awhile when I see something daring that I just have to try for myself.  Hence, the lipstick in la rouge.

I thought it would be fun to venture out of my comfort zone of nude, pinkish lips and try something vampy for fall.  It's the best season to...The darker colors always work best during these times.

I thought about buying MAC, but I didn't feel that it would be a good idea spending money on something I've never tried.  Of course I could've done a tester in-store but didn't have the time (I wasn't at the mall, I was at Walmart lol).  With no useable testers around, I decided to go for it and impulsively buy a red lipstick (I'm kidding, i've thought about it for awhile now).  I chose Rimmel Long lasting 25 hr lipstick (no really, that's what it said on the ad).

I decided to try it on when I got home, all excited that it's my first red lipstick since I used to play with my mom's back in the day.  I am glad that it worked out and I love it!  Check it out!

Elnett hairspray. Yay or Nay?

I recently bought the L'oreal Elnett Hairspray and thought I'd try it since I've been hearing rave reviews about the fact that its almost comparable to the salon hairsprays.

I curled my hair, volumized it using the hairspray and the finished product....

voila!

Halloween 2011

Hello lovelies..
So monday is our Team Building and Luncheon 'Halloween Edition' at work; and as such, we (or the powers that be) have decided to do a costume luncheon and at the end, choose the best costume for a prize.  I have been wracking my brain over what to wear since I've never really been big on Halloween before.  I've never been big on it, I usually just skip to the holidays.

Since this is a work function however, I've sort of been forced to participate for the spirit of it...and i am glad to oblige.  I promised myself however that I wasn't going to spend alot for my costume this year--and of course nothing raunchy, it would have to be work appropriate anyways due to the fact that it's a work-related lunch...I thought of a few costumes and this is what I've decided....

Movie Inspiration: Maid in Manhattan

I love this movie, but it seemed like it was reaching.  I'm a hopeless romantic so I didn't mind lol.

I loved two of Jennifer Lopez's outfits in this movie...

Sexiest shoe of the year!

Voted the sexiest shoe of the year....yowza!

I agree.

read the whole article on yahoo.

Celebrity Look: Vision in Ivory

Duchess of Cambridge, arriving at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Belmont, Sutton.  I love the dress, very simple paired with a pair of nude pumps.

Top 5 Must-Haves: Fall/Winter 2011

If you've felt the cold morning chill as much as I have in the last few weeks, you may agree that Fall is definitely in full swing nowadays.  Much like last year, it's been said that we are due to experience a colder than usual winter this year--I for one am not excited.

I love living in a city that gets to change the seasons, it gives life variety and certainly makes going through the year alot more interesting.  I can't imagine Christmas without snow now...

What get's me through the cold patch of the year is prepping for the weather ahead. 

My top 5 Must-haves for this year...

Blushing duo

A fan of Nars?

Do you love Nars Blush in Orgasm as much as I do?

if so....

You will love this!

MAC: Hyperviolet paint pot

Those that know me well know that I love the purple hues when it comes to eyeshadows.  I wear alot of purple smokey eye variations for nights out because it compliments the brown eyes.

Imagine my suprise when MAC released their collection of Posh Paradise, and hello! Hyperviolet Paint pot is one of them!

Posh Paradise Collection - Paint Pot in Hyperviolet

It is mos def on the shopping list! I checked online and just my luck, it's sold out.

Rawr! seeing spots

Last december during boxing day, I saw this cute leopard sweater that I was so itching to get.  Unfortunately it was abit out of my price range being at around $100 after markdown.  I opted out of buying it and hoped one day I'd find a substitute....It's taken me almost one year but eureka! I found it!

I can never stand to be without....

This little miracle in a bottle is like a substitute for my evian mineral spray.  When without, this is my other lifesaver...

Why is that so?

MAC: early holiday shopping!

Have you ordered yet?

This year I decided to get a head start on some of my holiday must-haves...

May I present...The Glitter & Ice Holiday collection!

Fall must have: tweed!

Okay, I'm not so much talking about Gene Simmons' wife, Shannon...(congratulations by the way).  I'm more talking about one of my many obsessions right now.  I love tweed.  I love that you can pair it with jeans as much as you can with dress pants and even so much as to use as a topper for a nice dress.

It's one of those all-around type jackets that work for almost any occasion! 

From Chanel's Fall 2011 Ready to Wear line,  tweed is a staple among his many fabric choices.

If you're wallet doesn't hold as much coin, here are some less pricey alternatives...

What are you dressing up as!?

It's that time again....no, not christmas, at least not yet.

It's halloween!

Candy apples, fright night train rides, and costumes! =) I'm admittedly not too big on the whole celebrating it...I'd much rather skip to the holiday season.  Alas, it's just as much of a big kid thing as it is a little kid's.

I was thinking of dressing up as a nurse this year for my work halloween lunch thing.  I prefer to stick to occupational costumes--less hassle to dress up as, and chances are you can incorporate your normal office clothes into the costume itself. 

Then the other day my co-worker and i went to Spirit Halloween near Metrotown and omg, they have the funkiest of costumes! (does anyone use the word funky anymore?!?lol)

I narrowed down my choices into three...which coincidentally was similar to my co-worker's choices!

check out my choices!

Random Mini Haulage!

I went to the mall after dinner tonight, and well....temptation got the better of me! lol

I did a 'mini' haul of accessories today since I find that ever since my closet looks like it's about to burst, i feel like I must reduce the amount of article of clothing before committing to more purchases lol.

...to see what i bought, read on!

Operation Re-organization: a new shoe 'rack'

Since moving into the new place, my life has been revolving around organizing my room and trying to make it as space efficient as humanly possible.  A big part of that organization is finding a nice home for all my wayward shoes...In doing so, I may have also inadvertently tapped into a shoe addiction problem I never realized before now lol.

This is my bf securing my new 'shoe rack'.

Fashion lovers alert! Fashion week is weeks away!

H&M: store opening

It's official, H&M is finally open at Metrotown!

Operation Organization: the vanity

It's been a build-up of sorts, my cleaning my room.  I've been living in my new place for about two or three weeks now (its such a blur, much like the moving was lol).  I decided when I first moved in that I'd tackle my Operation Organization in a more manageable way for someone that works 9-5.

This is a neat jewelry organizer that I found while strolling at Home Sense.  I've been wandering the aisles of Home Sense for specific items that will help organize my room...and life!

to see how i've organized everything, read on!

Casual Friday: the preppy look

I decided to dress abit preppy for casual friday--that and I wanted to wear my new button-down shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch. 

A&F Button-down shirt || American Eagle collared sweater || American Eagle indigo skinny jeans || over-the-knee boots (not pictured)

Happy Friday!

Megan Fox: her sizzling new Armani Ad

is it just me, or did it suddenly get very hot in here...?

lol...As always, the lovely Megan Fox heats up their Armani Holiday ads.

love.

Christmas 2011: 10 weeks away...are you ready for it?

Okay, so it doesn't seem like it's that close, but the holidays are approaching fast...I always seem to block out Halloween and Thanksgiving but after the last stat day, Remembrance Day--it will be full steam ahead for the holidays.

I noticed that my two fave retail stores have aleady set out their pre-holiday glitter and glam wear.  I thought I'd showcase a few pieces.

Cold Weather must-have: Uggs!

Say what you will about them guys...I still love wearing 'em!

I loved my last pair of imitation uggs from aldo lol.  I wore it for 6 years or so and it served me well during my moments of frumpy errand-filled days....When we moved I knew that my Aldo boots days were numbered and I bought an actual pair of uggs the first opportunity I got!

...more capes! lovin' my new Calvin Klein cape.

Hello...can you say obsessed? lol...I am so lovin' capes at the moment, and it seems the obsession continues!  They are just so comfy! 

Calvin Klein cape.

Thanksgiving Border run!

Hello lovelies!

Hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving!  There is no one moment that you shouldn't be thankful for the blessings you've had, but Thanksgiving Day usually gives you an opportunity to put everything into perspective and take a moment to thank your lucky stars for the blessings that has been brought unto you!

With that said, I spent my thanksgiving weekend across the border...In Washington state! so technically, I celebrated thanksgiving/columbus day =)  It was a fun weekend and I wish to be able to get away again soon with the bf!

Night #1:

We went to Joey's for a very late dinner (we finished at a half hour after midnight! lol) and then walked back to the hotel.  It was a good end to a long day...

To see what I wore, read on!

Royally chic in nude: kate middleton at Zara Phillip's royal wedding.

I love weddings--the good company and food and one gets to doll up for the occasion!

I loved the fascinator--well basically the whole outfit that Kate Middleton , Duchess of Cambridge wore at The Queen's grand-daughter, Zara Phillips' wedding.

Spotted: birthday girl at Ebisu!

Outfit:
BEBE lace rouched top || Forever 21 Black ruffle miniskirt || BEBE black lucie lasercut open-toe sandals || Forever 21 necklace || Juicy gold bracelet || BCBG flower ring

I decided to go abit on the more feminine side for my cousin's birthday at Ebisu sunday night for her birthday dinner.  Not the usual tight-fitting clothes, I went for an A-line mini instead of my usual bandage skirts.  Went with gold (and black) for my jewelry to add pop to just black lace and ruffles.

The new digs!

Last night I spent my first night at my place! the renos have finally almost ended and just a few tweaks here and there are needed.  It's weird living so much closer to work...I timed it this morning and it took 7 mins to get to work! wow.

I love my big closet!  That's the one thing that I know I traded up on.  It's finally big enough to house all my clothes (even tho I got rid of alot!).  The only thing now is to start unpacking! lol....well sort of.  There are still some more renos to finish.

Canucks Game: Canucks vs. Ducks!

Thanks to my boss, we scored some awesome seats to a pre-season Canucks game against the Anaheim ducks.  They lost to the ducks, but it was still a great game overall!

Revlon Lipstick

Not too long ago I was on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick that will work with what I usually wear for night time make-up, the smokey eye look.  The make-up no-no is to wear strong lipstick and eye makeup and so since I usually wear the smokey eye look, I thought why not wear simple nude colored lips.

I found this while trying to kill time at superstore one day at the mall.  It seemed peachy enough to just be the right shade.

They've worked out well so far, so if you're in the market for nude lips, try this drugstore brand.  I believe it comes in matte as well as glossy.

Ladies' choice...

shoe of the day!

I love fridays...they signal the end of the week, and in my case, date night as well!

Shoe of the day:

Christian Louboutin Metaliboot

The price tag of these oh-so-lovely shoes aren't exactly in my price tag (as I'm sure it's not in some of yours either) but there are less pricier substitutes...

Vancouver, Ottawa make Top 10 list for badly dressed

Wow, I am a vancouverite and I am ashamed!  Where are Clinton Kelly and Stacy London when you need them!!??

I get it, the birth place of yoga pants and all things comfort wear which is Lulu Lemon is in Vancouver.  Aritzia has its own version of the ever-popular yoga gear as well...but where does it all end?  The WTNW duo warned us about this, the lines between comfort and slouch in certain occasions...little did we know it would haunt a whole city! ack!

On the move!

So the next two weeks is going to be hectic, I will be moving so all my stuff will be boxed up until then.  Since most of my stuff will be packed, it will be a OOTD hiatus for me until I am in my new home and all situated. sigh.  I love moving cause that's one of the only few times that I actually sort my stuff that has been collecting, into donate, sell, throw or keep piles.  I should mention that I also hate moving since that means I actually have to take the time to sort through all the crap that's accumulated since I last moved ! (which if you know me, you'd know was a long time ago!)

Trends: Collar Necklaces

A trend to which I've been steering toward for jewelry is collar necklaces.  It's somewhat similar to bib necklaces except not so large and wide.  I love that if you're wearing a high neck, the jewelry makes the collar look more intricate.

Here's one I've recently seen that I abolsolutely love!

Belle Noel Dagger Collar Necklace $185 US (shopstyle.com)

Seeing Double!

I've been obsessed with satin/silk blouses for awhile now.  I love that they look flowy and loose but still feminine.  Great for the office but for going out as well.  I recently saw a cute blouse that had contrasting collar and cuffs, black and white--my fave colour combination!

There are many kinds out there, and depending on the feel and cut of the blouse, you can find one that will fit any price range!

If you want to see one blouse, comparable prices, read on!

Inspired! birds of a feather...

Still channeling her last movie, 'Black Swan'...

posing with Justin Timberlake for a magazine spread, promoting their new movie 'Friends with Benefits', Mila Kunis shows her elegance in a swan-like dress.
