It’s the year of the Dragon! Where are all muh dragons at? Being a tiger, I had to keep true to my roots. Hence the leopard (it’s a cat, same difference) cardi, and um, furry hat. Because cats also have fur.

This is my 2nd time wearing my Russian hat. I wore it to dim sum yesterday and I probably looked crazy. I say that because all of “my people” were staring at me. Elderly Chinese grannies seem to enjoy staring though, without being polite enough to look away once you catch them and stare back. So, maybe they were just being…. normal.

On another note, my weekend was great. It was partially anti-social, chill, and laid back. I spent Saturday night with 3 friends drinking super-charged golf carts, eating Sour Patch Bunnies, watching YouTube make-up tutorials of Promise Phan transforming into Angelina Jolie and other celebs, and episodes of Happy Endings. I was the only girl. What? I was the only girl. Um, awesome.

Just a quick snapshot of my latest accessories. They all have a bit of  rocker, a bit of edge and some attitude to them. And all for a very decent price too. With the amount of accessories I have and the frequency in which my taste changes, inexpensive is probably the best way to go, especially for costume jewelry.

Hi! (Was that weird? I never say hi, but I just so excite!) A friend of mine from New York just recently launched her watch line, Winky Designs, and we thought it would be awesome if we collaborated on a photo shoot and of course, a giveaway for TWO watches!

Up until now, I’ve only owned traditional watches. You know, like Michael Kors and Movado. And as much as I love them, they’re really your typical watch in terms of style and material. But Winky is different. Winky is innovative. Winky is fresh. And Bunnie really likes Winky. ;)

So what’s a Winky watch? None other than a piece inspired by delicious foods and flavors, and designed with style and quality in mind. They’re playful, water resistant, made with Japanese quartz and come in a rainbow of fun colors… which is my favorite part! There are two collections right now: Slap Out of It and Ice Cream Bracelets.

These slap watches are seriously the bomb. They’re kinda like slap bracelets, circa 1990. I never thought I’d be able to pull off a red watch, but I’m doing it. And I love the look!

And for those who prefer something more feminine but just as stylish, the braided Ice Cream watches are sweet. Genuine leather and perfect for layering with other bracelets.

It snowed over the weekend. Snow seems to have a different effect on you when you get older. Although the sight of it is pretty, most of the thoughts that go through my head…. aren’t. When it snows, life can become a nuisance. It gets complicated, and put on hold. I parked my car in front of my house, which happens to be on a hill. Shortly after, I came out to see my car slanted with the trunk sticking out into the road. (And this is not because I’m a bad driver. Yes, I’m Chinese.) My car had slid… down the hill. But thanks to driving school, I turned the wheel when I parked and prevented my car from sliding all the way down the hill, into traffic. See, adult problems. Luckily, it usually doesn’t snow that much in Vancouver.

With the little bit of snow we got, I decided it would be nice to do an outfit post, outside, with the white stuff. Taking photos outside can be a hassle when you’re an only child. I have no one to ask to ask for help, and I refuse to set up my tripod in the cold, while strangers gawk and WTF me as they stroll by. But I do have parents. I made my dad take pictures of me with the snow. Genius. But awkward. And yes, he was all like, WTF. Oddly enough, I didn’t give him any direction. He just worked it. He must read my awesome blog. Hi, Daddy.

Bling, bling. Money ain’t a thing…. if you’re a shopper extraordinaire like me. I love a good sales and finding good deals. Who doesn’t?? And if you don’t… then I don’t know what to tell you, other then you’re interesting. :)

Sale shopping is dangerous though. You can end up with a lot of stuff you won’t wear, just because it was “OMG, such a good deal!” If you don’t get any wear out of it, was it really a good deal? Or just a waste of money? Think about that one.  I’ve been severely guilty of buying things just because they were on sale, but since my closet started running out of space and being occupied by pieces that had no ROI, I started to do this: Shop sales without looking at signs or price tags. If you wouldn’t look at it at regular price, why would you buy it on sale?

Which brings me to my next point: Style is not accompanied by a price tag. I don’t know why some people just don’t get it. The jacket and shoes I’m wearing were all purchased on sale. And the glasses? They’re from Marquee. Yes, the club in Las Vegas. But who would ever know? So, just because you’re dressed head-to-toe in designer doesn’t mean you look good. I hate to break it to you, but you have to actually have, um, a sense of style.

Which brings me, to another point: Where is this shopping fund coming from? In Vancouver, there is a large chunk of girls who are always rocking the most expensive shoes, the nicest bags and the newest designer trends. And I get it — some come from wealthy families, some have “awesome” boyfriends (debatable) and others simply work hard and smart for it. Fine. But what about the ones that don’t fall in either category? How do you do it? Why do you do it? Are you broke? Do you have a plan for “making it on your own?” Does that even matter?

Zara, Sale $30

I went into Zara the other day to exchange a Christmas gift. One of my new year resolutions is to save, starting from banning myself from the mall for a while after all the damage I did over the holidays. With this in mind, I walked into Zara and headed straight to the cashier, head down, making sure to avoid the crazy sales going on all around me. So I stared at the floor. Looked to the right. Looked to the left. And looked to the right… shoes. A table full of sale shoes. And on the floor, this pair in my size. Mine.

I really tried.
