Do you think I can pass for (pretend) housewives of Vancouver in this outfit? I feel like I look a little pretentious, stuck-up and high-maintenance, but I do feel fabulousss! I would wear this everyday if I could. Just kidding. I wouldn’t. Nothing beats jeans and a loose tee.

On Sunday though, I had a full pamper day. Something kind of typical of a housewife, right? Probably, but totally not typical for me. It started off by getting a mani-pedi (for $30!) with my BFF, followed by a hair cut (I asked to get too much trimmed off as usual) and my first facial ever at pHresh Spa! I felt girly. It was nice.

BTW, today. is. the. last. day. of. work. for. me. EVER. Just kidding. I wish. It is my last day, but I have a small feeling I may have to get a job or something maybe once more in my lifetime. Unless I end up being a real housewife. Not sure if I want that either though.

Before I go, I wanted to mention that I found this new way to wear the cardigan in this post. Yes, it’s a cardigan. And because I was feeling a little extra creative, I ended up reinventing it with a vintage brooch. I’m just a little proud of myself!

neutrals and red lipstick

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the poor picture quality. As embarrassing as it is, I… had to use a point and shoot camera because my “better-one-which-I-don’t-know-how-to-use” ran out of batteries. I’d also like to apologize for the ugly floor. I’ve never said it, but it’s atrocious. It’s ugly now, and it’s ugly in my Outfit of the Day posts. If my mom read this, she’d probably smack me. Ugh.

Anyways, I’m undecided on what kind of image this outfit portrays. Am I classy and chic? Stuck-up and boring? Or a hip modern day investigator? Like, Sherlocklia Holmes?

Regardless, I made a bold move by wearing red lipstick. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made many attempts to wear it, but they’re always followed by tissue dabbing.. and then vigorous rubbing, after realizing that red lipstick doesn’t come off easy. The H&M “color block” (more suitably, boring block) dress was a steal at $20. I ended up buying 2 of them… but I need to get them altered as they’re a little looser than I’d like.

My style is usually more street wear, but I thought I’d mix it up a bit with something dresser. Yay? or Nay? I should probably start posting some work outfits to avoid boring you to death.

XO,

clutching for spring

The bright bolds and light pastels trending for spring makes me happy. If I had a clutch in every one of these colors, I’d be set for life… or this spring anyway. Paring a statement piece like these with any plain outfit takes you from lame and tame to wild child… Okay, maybe not but I can bet that you’ll be stylish and chic at the least. That’s the thing I love most about accessories — they show your personality and who you are. Or, they can make you. So grab your jeans and tees and throw some fun on them!

Bunnie Bar turns two!

happy birthday bunnie bar!

So of course I had to fly down to Los Angeles to celebrate the 2nd birthday of my blog, because only something so outrageous and fun would do this special day justice. Go big or go home, right?

I wish. But, I did go to LA with my BFF to soak up some real California sun since Vancouver has been a disappointment so far. However, now that I’m back, we’re not doing so bad. As for the trip…I didn’t shop nearly as much as I was hoping to. That’s probably a blessing in disguise.

I didn’t realize that it was Bunnie Bar’s 2 years until it suddenly dawned on me during a conversation. Has it really been two years already?? Time flies, things change, and you get old…but apparently I’m still blogging! And… you’re still reading, which is really amazing to me. Even without readers, I might still be blogging today (probably not), but I know for a fact that it would be much less fulfilling. The interaction, comments and opportunities to meet new people locally and online is endless, and I love it. Is that too cyber geeky?

What I’m trying to say, is thank you. Thank you for reading and sharing with me. Thank you for loving it, or hating it. And for all the readers that remain nameless, thank you too. (But maybe you should say hi sometime.)

Lastly, thank you to the tripod and people who have helped me take ridiculous pictures of myself, and to the friends, especially Ian, who helped me start it all. ♥

XO,

Because I know you’re nosy

I don’t know where this idea originated, but it’s both stupid and interesting. So here it is. I’m exposed for all of you to see.

Soon enough I’ll be substituting the sunnies for an umbrella. I’m sure the rest of Vancouver can understand. As for why I carry a book around sometimes, you never know when you’re going to be @#$%ing bored out of your mind, waiting for something or someone with nothing to do. I believe in efficiency and productivity. It helps me.

On a side note, I’ve neglected my blog for a while and I’m sorry? But I have a good excuse. I was away in Vegas for work having the time of my life. Because all I do is party, ah ah ah ah! Right… but really, I was there for my first trade show. I feel so… important, so cool, so grown up. And like a true grown up, it’s bedtime. Or is that like a true granny?

XO,

PS. Right, how could I forget to mention what I bought? A shout out to my new MK watch and Marc by MJ ring. How lame am I?

Bunnie in a Kitty Candyland

Bunnie — Mon, 31 May 2010 18:04:46 +0000

Last week, the Kitty Card had its official launch party at the Refinery. With nothing but the perfect girl’s night in mind, the night was transformed into a candy wonderland filled with sweet treats, cupcakes, cotton candy, decadent chocolates, savory canapes and of course, cute kitties.

If you’re a girl who loves the glamor and glitz, then Kitty Card events are not to be missed! And of course, you can’t show up to an event like this without some kind of girly and stylish outfit! Anybunny else ever find it extremely difficult to put together an outfit for a special event? I spent a good hour just trying on clothes in my closet.

Below: Joanne from Haus of Luxe, Chin Chin from the Kitty Card, BFF Lenita.

See you next time?

I’d wear sweats but the paparazzi might find me

I love layering… especially the type where you simply throw on a bunch of things and it just works out. The Zara vest was also a great investment — you can dress it up {as seen here} or dress it down for an everyday look. Versatility is definitely one of my favorite things to look for in clothing! It’s wonderful what accessories and shoes can do for an outfit!

BTW, the strap is my laptop bag. Was on the way out to do some studying!

XO,

California Love

Another vacation to Los Angeles has ended… and I’m back in Vancouver where the air is clear and crisp. Ahhh!

I’m super tired from this trip – cramming in all the shopping and activities there are to do in LA over the span of a few days keeps you going, and going and going. Like the energizer bunny. It’s true – we all need a vacation after a vacation!

It’s just so warm out

not.

But it’s actually not too bad.
Thanks global warming… I guess.

Nothing beats a comfy, good looking yet effortless outfit. I admit, it was a bit cold… but it’s nothing compared to the weather we had last year here in Vancouver. 2010 is {almost} all about wearing no mittens, no scarves, no earmuffs and no multiple layers of socks.

The Creme Cup lipstick by MAC is one of my favorites. Sorry, my picture doesn’t give a true representation of the color – flash does deceiving things! {So does super shiny gloss.} So thank me for the swatch to the left, to the left. :)

XO,
