Sorry for the not so good quality of photos, but I had to improvise with the little resources I had… as in no photographer, no tripod, no mirror and poor lighting. But I did okay right?

I finally had a chance to do an outfit post with this awesomely cool tee that was sent to me by Fake LA. It’s one of the most luxurious and soft casual tee’s I’ve ever worn and I love the unique cowl back it has. Since their launch, Fake LA has gained a large following by celebrities and trendsetters and can be found in one of my favorite boutiques in LA — Kitson! If you have a moment, check out the rest of their tees for men and women on their site.

On another note, do you guys remember the store Accessorize? It was kind of like a Claire’s and Icing, but I don’t think it’s anywhere in Vancouver anymore. Anyway, the store is everywhere in Taipei and I find it pretty pricey. But I had to get that pink bow ring in my photo. I don’t know why. It’s so childish… and Asian. But I love!

I hope everybunny’s been enjoying their weeks and weekends! I’ve been in Taipei for just over 2 weeks now and I’m going to HK on Thursday. This trip is going by so quickly, I don’t want it to end!

Thanks to VancityBuzz and Patrick Leung for doing an “Around Town with Bunnie Bar” feature on me yesterday! Pat and I made a trip over to Lonsdale Quay last week, and although it was raining, it was a lot of fun! And cold.

Now for the even more exciting news… I quit my job and am running away to Asia to hide there until someone finds me and forces me to come back! Just kidding. Well, kind of. I did resign from my work, mainly because I felt like it was time for a change and because the time off I need is… too long.

I’m going to Taipei for 5 weeks. And I’m excited and nervous. The last time I went to Asia was 20 years ago, when I was 5. And since then, I haven’t really been much of an avid traveler, although I would love to be able to see more of the world. I also haven’t gone on a vacation that lasted longer than a week. Meaning that I haven’t been away from home, from family, from everything for…. more than a week. Just a month ago, I didn’t even have any idea when I’d visit Asia, if ever.

I made a vow to myself that I wouldn’t look back on this year and wish I did. So I’m trying to make a change. Create excitement. Take on challenges. And I stared with a comprehensive list of goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year. It’s hopping so far, and I hope it’ll only get better!

Of course, I’ll be updating you guys with whatever I’m doing while I’m away, so stay with me! BTW, any recommendations on things to do / eat /see while I’m there?

paper hearts

I like making cards. I lied. It’s actually kind of a pain in the butt (sorry to the people I made cards for), but I do it because… the people I make them for are worth it. And once you get the creative juices flowing, it’s not so bad.

I don’t usually do anything for Valentine’s Day, but I thought I’d be cute this year. After all, it’s not hard to be cute when you’re making cards with pink and red paper, sparkles and hearts, while sitting in a room with pink walls, pink carpet, and a pink duvet. Sorry, did you just puke? I also have a pink chair.

The card with the hearts sewn on was inspired by a photo in my ‘spread the love‘ post. Of course, their version is much nicer… straighter… perfect. It’s so cute. And it would look awesome encased in a deep picture frame.

Anyway, there was no point to this. I just wanted to say, “hey, I partake in arts and crafts, sometimes.” Do I look like the type?

DIY Studded Shorts

I did it. I did it myself.

I was reading an interesting blog post a while back about how to curb your shopping habits. One of the suggestions was to revive some of your older pieces of clothing by modifying them – one being, DIY shorts. I’ve always wanted to try this, but was never brave enough to actually bring myself to….cut my jeans. Dude, I paid full price for them after all.

So, out of pure boredom, I took an old pair of accidentally ripped jeans and cut the legs off. I had to cut them about 5 times because I was scared that I’d cut them too short.

These jeans were stretchy too which meant that they cling tightly to your thighs. If you’re like me, you’ll want to keep them a bit longer to avoid looking like you stuffed yourself in kids pants. Hot.

I found some antique gold studs in my stash of arts & crafts and Love Bunnie supplies. For the first time, I studded, and it felt good. Wasn’t as hard as I thought.

If you like the distressed look, create it by rubbing a pumice stone or sand paper on the fabric repeatedly. Since mine came ‘pre-distressed,’ I… lucked out? Not really. I really wanted to rub sand paper all over myself. As for the unfinished edges, they gain character over time with each wear.

ta-da. da. da.

They’re not my favorite shorts, but hey, it was my first time. And it was kind of fun. I really think this could become a new hobby of mine. Just wait — coming soon: outfit posts in weird, poorly made clothes.

Do you DIY?

XO,
