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!

Just like how all the cool kids back in my day (because I’m so old now) were taking online college classes in school (so they can skip out on actually being in class and fall victim to procrastination) the color tangerine can kind of do the same — easily give you what you need (style), so you can focus on other things (boys).

Tangerine has been named one of the it colors this year, and spring marks a great season to add this color to your wardrobe. Although this bright color adds a pop of happiness to your outfit, it can be intimidating and may be fatal to the weak. But, it does look damn good. Want to see how you can make this trend work for you?

If you tend to shy away from bright colors, try adding just a pop of tangerine to your outfit. Bright orange handbags and accessories look great with neutrals, and tangerine also compliments shades of blue and gold beautifully. If you’re obsessed with shoes like me, try orange shoes with denim or khaki. You can also wear this color as a statement piece on your nails or jewelry. Adding tangerine in any one of these ways will definitely brighten up your outfit!

If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can venture into wearing a bit more than just a pop of tangerine. Tangerine looks great on dark skin, olive skin, and fair skin tones, and since we’re moving into the warmer part of the year, one of the best places to wear tangerine is at the beach or pool, so get your tan on! An orange bathing suit makes a strong statement, and gives the skin a beachy glow. If the idea of orange Lycra scares you, try a tangerine-colored cover up. The flowy fabric looks especially great over navy or white bathing suits.

There are many other ways to bring tangerine into your everyday wardrobe. One great option is a tangerine trench coat. Brightly colored coats are a great hit in the spring, and a bold jacket like this can be worn on top of any outfit to really kick it up a notch. If you normally stick with wearing neutrals, tangerine outerwear is an easy way to incorporate color into your look. You? Boring? Never. Tangerine colored sweaters are also a good option and look great with jeans or neutral trousers. Try a tangerine t-shirt or tank-top under a neutral toned cardigan and if you’re a real tangerine lover, try rocking a dress in this tone. This is a real attention grabber, and looks good on most skin tones. Try pairing it with neutral shoes and gold jewelry. If you’re daring, tangerine shoes with a tangerine dress make a real statement.

Whether or not you’ll be taking some online classes or distance education courses, I assure you that incorporating tangerine into your wardrobe is much more fulfilling and exciting. So, to tangerine or not?

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!

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I think it turned out okay. This is one of those outfits where you literally grab whatever is closest to you — sometimes even blindly — put it on obviously, and run out the door. The next step is to pray that you look okay. Sound all too familiar?

It happens to me every now and then, but most of the time I have to pray REALLY hard that my outfit will suddenly change into something a bit more decent and well put together. Although this outfit is a mix of things from all over the spectrum in color, pattern and texture, it’s a mix that works for me. That’s my attempt at being eclectic. How’d I do?

Exactly one week to go before I’m off to Asia! It’s a bit surreal and I’m totally not prepared — there’s still so much to do, and seriously, so little time. April’s always a busy month with Easter (aka my 2nd birthday), and all the other real birthdays going on.

On another note, I went back to black. My hair that is. What do you think? I’ve gotten mixed opinions that it makes me look younger or makes me look older and oh-so-sophistique. I’m at that age where I’m not sure if I want to look older or younger. Problem.

One last note, I wanted to send some — birthday love to Kaz SVP – from Flagsh1p Lifestyle Inc. Wishing you a fabulous day and an amazing year. :)

For the 4th look, I wanted to go casual… as causal as possible when wearing a sequin dress. The sheer blouse I’m wearing is my favorite from Zara. As a size XL, it’s drapes perfectly but I wanted it to be a bit more fitted for this look so I gathered the excess fabric and tied a knot in the back.

The light denim jacket and cognac satchel are really what toned down the dress for me… and of course, the Vans! You don’t see me wearing kicks like these often, but they’re one of my favorites. The only other time I actually wore them on my blog (with the same jacket) is in this post. They make your feet look so small and compact. And if you have wider feet like me, they look like marshmallows!

Would you pair a dress or skirt with runners? Or did I just commit a no-no?
