Lost at Last an #ootd

Came across some pretty cool pins for my denim jacket at a cute thrift shop downtown. They're by the company Explorer's Press. Its a local company all about customizing and accessorizing your personal items. They have things from pins, to key chains, to patches and couple shirts that I've been eyeing since I bought these pins. Check it out here!

Set No Path an #ootd

The obvious becomes more apparent when you experience certain situations first hand. It's taken me a long time to understand that you don't have to be into fashion to be in the fashion industry. A company is comprised of so many aspects down to technical and strategic business elements. "Straight and narrow is not the only path to success" (Sophia Amoruso) It takes a couple shitty jobs and experiences to land "the one". For all we know, the one job we strive for, our dream job, may only turn out to be temporary. There's a reason why investments can mean higher risk. (To be continued.)

A moment pt.2


hetki / a moment

"Vancouver based Scandinavian inspired design. 

We appreciate the contrast between light & dark, ethereal & intrepid, uncomplicated & uncommon. 

Creating minimal and meaningful pieces that support the "slow fashion" movement. 

A moment lady appreciates the value of investing. 

Our collection blurs the lines between seasonal trends to provide our customers with a timeless wardrobe which will last her years.

After spending time living and studying fashion design in Vancouver, Canada, Kate Schreiner took her studies over to Helsinki, Finland where she found herself immersed in culture, simplicity, and a beautiful lifestyle which provided inspiration for this Vancouver based company."

endless weekend

It's that time of year, reading week a.k.a. procrastinate week. Joking, I've actually got a game plan for my homework & work schedule this week.
I've totally got this, I swear.

This weekend (yes i'm including Monday) was quite productive, there was tons of quality time with friends, dancing, eating and no shopping - thank god. I even ended up talking to a friend who moved to Europe after high-school, then talked to two girls in my program who are currently abroad in Taipei. Anyways, scroll down to see the weekend life that I lived.

Here's a song I've been loving, have a listen 



Friendship Friday. Noella - Valentina, Check.

I mean, it was in a glass tea cup. All the class, for one little glass.

A late night stroll after a night of dancing, stumbled upon this.

GLOWBAL. The food was delicious, the interior was glamorous. I need an excuse to go back 

Ended up getting the Raspberry Macaroon and Chocolate Pistachio Cake at NOSH. Yum, Sister Saturday was a success.

Skip to Monday where I did homework in a Starbucks as a waited for my friend. (That Self Evaluation that I'm writing, yes, it does say A range)

Took a little peak into a few shops in Gastown. Adore The Latest Scoop!

Grilled Romaine at the Pourhouse, it can never do me wrong.

You can never pass up a good shot of the city.

Monday's retail research was more fun then expected. The makeup section always makes me drool.

To finish of this magnificent Monday we treated ourselves to this chocolate paradise in Nordstrom

H E T K I designs

These beautifully designed pieces were made by the one and only Kate Schreiner. Inspired by the landscapes of Finland and Scandinavian lifestyle, her thesis fashion line comes together effortlessly. The geometric and asymmetrical wool trousers, the hugging turtle neck and structured vest and coat perfectly resemble the essence of Kate's line - Hetki, which translates into "a moment" in Finnish.

Two Valentina's please



Who needs a Valentine when I've got a Valentina?


Making up for lost time - A year ago today little Kate was away on exchange having the time of her life. I seriously felt like a part of me was missing when she was gone. It was nice to have a little gal-entines weekend with such a good friend. Went to a movie on Saturday (How to be single- Recommend it 100%) then to the Diamond in our favorite part of the city. Sunday was a spontaneous hang out shesh which consisted of meeting the Bachelorette -Kaitlyn Bristowe and her man, coffee sipping, picture taking and a walk around the city. 




Sunday Style in Times is the perfect way to start a Sunday.

Got real artsy in Yaletown

When you spend Valentines day being single and complicated.

Vintage shopping. I didn't buy anything..I promise

I mean, my cappuccino had a swan on it, it was perfect
