keep calm and high tea

 I used afternoon tea with the girls as an excuse to wear this maxi dress. Hardly something to wear to sip tea and nibble baby sandwiches in and more appropriate for the beach, but I have a big bag stuffed with new purchases that has not seen the light of day because the weather's been so whack here in Vancouver. As I'm writing this, the sun is shining and it's gorgeous outside!! Tomorrow's forecast: cloudy with showers. Amyways, TGIF to all, and happy long weekend to the Canadians! Looking forward to the jam packed next few days! Yes..photos to follow:)

Doesn't look like alot for 3 people, but surprisingly filling.

Looks are deceiving. Each pot felt like it weighed 20 pounds.

High tea-ing with the girls was a refreshing change from the usual dinner and drinks.

Your choice of afternoon teas at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver, BC. I had the Jasmine Pearl.

i have an itis.

What's it called when you buy something you don't need only because it's on sale and you don't really have a use for it but it's justified since it's so cheap that you'll figure it out and it'll make sense later? If you're thinking the term is 'smart girl', then yes, me too. 
Whatever it is happened when I bought this poncho at H&M for $15 back in December. I never really owned a poncho before this so I wasn't sure how to work it. I realize now, you can pretty much throw it on top of..well anything :)

And the shoes I'm wearing are the same as the previous post, but in cream. It pays to have an indecisive sister. (*thumbs up* Cat.)

take every chance. drop every fear

Wow..not practicing how to pose for over a month makes for weird expressions on the face.

So I've concluded...harem pants are just not my thing. I wish I could pull it off like some boys and girls because it feels amazing, like I'm walking outside in my underwear, but it just makes me look like I have a big front and back butt. Boo.
Add to the fact that I sprained my ankle twice in a span of 7 days and have been immobile, my butt looks big probably because it is.. Anyways, glad to be back blogging and seeing what you lovelies have been up to:)

On another note, I like this quote: some things are worth taking every chance for, and worth dropping every fear for.

*muah

Really gotta work on my facial expressions..

hello.

Not only have I been missing in action, so has my collection of new shoes. In the last few months, I must've purchased 7-8 pairs of new loves, and only two of them have seen the outside of my home. This sporadic weather is not making me nor my pretty unworn shoes very happy.
I apologize for the lack of updates guys; once this semester is done, I'll be back. Miss you all in the blogosphere:) t-minus 4 days...

blast from the past

The sun was shining after a week of rain and snow, so I decided to put on something floral and springy on my way to see my stylist.
Maybe it was my 70's inspired outfit, but after my trim, he decided to doll me up and put curls in my hair, and slightly backcombed.
The result: a photograph that could have been of my mom 40 years ago. I like to think that I'm cooler, but my mom is pretty dope and she can cook too. (mom: 2 billion, me: zero)

Whoa, I was standing at almost 6 feet tall with these platforms:)
