Outfit: White Out

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

I wore this outfit to Night Market (the old one) a couple weekends ago. I had spent the afternoon DIY'ing a few t-shirts that I had picked up from thrift stores for the Outside Lands Festival. I'm practically a DIY expert now. I can chop up a t-shirt like nobody's business.

Tank: DIY Jeans: Forever 21 Sandals: Old Navy Purse: Topshop Sunglasses: Spitfire

But in all seriousness, I'd seen a tank similar to this at F as in Frank as part of their SNAP collection, but they wanted $35 for it. I said, "B-tch please", and vowed to make my own. Admittedly, I was kind of terrified at first because I'm probably the least crafty person I know (Martha Stewart-wise. I am excellent at devising Blair Waldorf-esque plans. Just jokes....or am I?). I scoured YouTube for an adequate tutorial, but found none. I did find a lot of really bad tutorials, including ones with no sound, showing just the person's hands - super creepy. Instead, I took some tips from numerous videos.

Fringing, not a quick task

I actually got dressed and sent a photo to my friend asking if the outfit was "a bit too Jennifer Lopez". Seriously, with some rhinestones and platforms (and hoop earrings with my name in them), I would've been channelling Jenny from the Block, for sure. But since I was going to Night Market, I braced myself to be recognized as a Canto-pop star. Much to my dismay, that didn't happen.

This, however, did.

Outfit: Nautical Wedding

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

I went to a wedding a couple weekends ago at Granville Island. It was an interesting choice of venue since I don't know anyone who had gotten married there before (trust me on this, my Facebook would've told me).

It was a gorgeous day with the ceremony taking place in Ron Basford Park, overlooking False Creek. The reception was held inside Performance Works, with the garage doors open.

I knew that the wedding was going to be on the messy side, so I didn't want to wear a fancy silk dress that would get ruined. Instead, I opted for a navy jersey maxi and some flat sandals to dance the night away.

Dress & Scarf: Club Monaco Sandals: Zara Necklace: Aldo

Admittedly, the dress isn't anything super amazing on the hanger, but the moment I tried it on, it was love. It's insanely comfortable and it just looks unreal on.

Bag: H&M Sunglasses: Spitfire

Lipstick: MAC Show Orchid

Congrats guys!

I have this thing lately where I feel that because it's a certain month, the weather should be a certain temperature. But that's not always true. It's been getting my in trouble a lot recently, as I've gotten to the point where I just absolutely refuse to dress weather appropriate. I can assure you that when I was rocking the bare legs in these photos, it was most certainly not warm out.
