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!

daily outfits while in taiwan

Instagram is awesome. (Follow me? @thebunniebar) I’m so thrilled that I get to use it while I’m here in Taiwan. Once I get back to Vancouver though, I’m going to have to get an iPhone, STAT. Or I’m going to have a bad case of instagram withdrawal.

I’m not very good at dressing for the weather here. But then again, I’m not very good at dressing for the weather back at home either. There are days when it feels like I’m walking around in a sauna. And days I swear it’s warmer on a Vancouver summer day. And sometimes, I think I’m a hot shot, so I venture out in a cardigan or jacket. And I walk. And walk. And walk. And secretly, beads of sweat are rolling down my back, hair plastered to my skin. I’m so hot. Literally.

And I try to hold out for as long as I can. But it doesn’t get better. You can’t even take your jacket off, in fear that your clothes are damp and your armpits are wet. Your only hope is to go indoors to air conditioning, but even then sometimes, you’re still sweating like a @#$%ing pig. And other times, you get super cold. Ugh.

So anyway, which is your favorite outfit of the day?

On a brighter note, my Mandarin has improved minimally. I can now say things like If you were a bit cuter, I would like you and fart, butt, and idiot. Pretty impressive, right?

mismatching is eclectic

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?

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.

how to style a sequin dress: just casual

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?

floral pants

 I went to H&M today with my BFF and saw these pants hanging on the rack in the front. These pants, along with tops, dresses all in the same print. In large amounts. I was kind of ticked off. I received these pants ( which I adore ) for Christmas last year. Last year they cost, something like $60. At this moment, in stores, right now, they are $15. FIFTEEN. I touched them. I looked at them. I’m not sure if there’s a difference. To me, they look the exact same. So if you’re looking to get on this trend but don’t want to spend a fortune, H&M is your store. Just don’t be surprised when you see a bunch of other people wearing the same thing.

I’m still appalled.

XO,

bunnie

PS – Not sure why the H&M site sells the trousers for $17.95. Get them in stores, they’re cheaper. If you don’t believe me, I took a picture.
