I realized that I don’t nearly greet ya’ll enough… so hi every bunny and happy hump day!

Okay, I admit it. I’m dirty. Yes, I’m wearing the same shirt (backwards) that I wore in my last post. But when you revive an old item, it’s like new again. Obsessing and over-wearing it is all game. I have something else to admit. This is THE first leopard piece I’ve ever owned. I bought one for my BFF as a part of her Secret Santa gift and having never really been embraced by leopard, I tried it on. Oh and it embraced me. Long and hard. I loved it. And loved it so much that one of my awesome guy friends ended up gifting me with it for Christmas. Love… the fact that I now have my own leopard cardi and the fact that a guy paid enough attention to women’s fashion to remember what I loved. But then again, maybe I’m just lucky enough to have such a fashionable fun male friend, who’s not gay. There’s hope girls.

And just not too long ago, I added a 2nd piece of leopard to my closet: a scarf. Also worn in my last post.

In line with some of the trends for spring/summer, I finally got around to pairing different, contrasting patterns together in an outfit. How’d I do? Okay, I think. I also added a pop of red and snuck in some pastel nails. I think I’ve got the trends going on. Now only if I had some floral… overkill? Maybe next time.

Oh hello! Don’t you just adore the color of this blazer? I’ve never seen anything like it. So I obviously had to get it. But not before cringing at the price tag a few times and dropping by the store to touch, feel, try repeatedly. I mean, $130 for a blazer is… a bit steep. When it’s from Jacob. But the color. And blazers are such staple pieces in my wardrobe. Tell me it’s okay, please? I don’t usually shop at Jacob, but the stupid mannequin in the window was wearing the blazer and it caught my eye. It’s a good thing I ventured in though. I ended up finding the pretty blue cuff for $4 too. Win.

The striped Zara top I’m wearing is super old. I probably got it at least 3 years ago. It was only $20. I absolutely love the ruched shoulders, but over time, I started to hate the deep, wide neckline. It made me look… wide. And flat. So, I refreshed it by wearing the top backwards. Now, the neckline is straight and sleek, and the back has a cute, slightly sexy dip. I love this top again. Except for the giant hole in the armpit.

There were a couple of days over the last week where the weather here in Vancouver was beautiful. Clear, crisp, and fresh. When it’s nice here, it’s really nice here. Anyone that lives in Vancouver, or has visited can attest to that. Also, when it’s nice here, everyone is out. I mean everyone. It doesn’t matter if it’s chilly or if it’s mid-December. We do it. And it’s one thing I really love about this city. With that being said, I went outside. It was cold, and I was freezing. I hate the cold. I suck at being in it. I would not survive in the arctic… or in Winnipeg. What’s Winnipeg? Nevermind.

Anyways, as I was taking my cold but beautiful stroll, I saw these two poodle-doodle-doo’s de France strolling along. So I took a stalker picture. If these are your dogs… hi! I’m sorry but you asked for attention. Hope you don’t mind.

Aside from that, random question: Do you have Linsanity? I’ve been watching… basketball. I don’t watch the NBA, but I think I have Linsanity. And I’m so rooting for this guy because 1) his inspirational story 2) his passion and humility 3) he’s Chinese. And tall. And smart. 4) He gives me and (a handful of) my guy friends something we can both talk about… in an obsessive, boy crush kinda way. Um, how awesome is that?!

Accessories, Sale for $3.99

Post-holidays, Zara was having a massive sale on almost everything! You can really find some really great deals. It’s almost like stealing. (Like that Ikea commercial. Ok, that was lame.) So next year, I’m marking my calendar and making a point to visit Zara after Christmas. Only. Which means I won’t be shopping there just before that, or helping them stimulate the economy. Suckers.

I picked up some leather accessories — bib necklaces and a bracelet. They were all on sale for $3.99 from $30 and $15. Not bad. Like I said, sometimes, I’m really an awesome shopper.

Foot massages. I love them. I went for my first foot massage about 2 years ago, and shortly after, I was addicted. I started going a 2-3 times a month. I had a problem. So I had an intervention, and now, I rarely go. Just recently, a new modern reflexology spa called Foot Lounge just opened. Trouble.

It’s a great lounge. The massages are awesome. But my favorite part is this: they have a masseuse who gives foot readings. Foot what? Readings. In smart people terms, podomancy.

Your feet tell a story. The right is your masculine side, your Ying. It symbolizes work, money, “manly” things. (Debatable.) The left is your feminine side, your Yang. It symbolizes decision making, trust, and other “girly” things. According to my awesome masseuse, my Ying is dominant over my Yang. I’m a manly she-male who sucks at decision making (truth) and trusting people (truth too). To strengthen my Yang, I need to cut down on sweets. Stress causes me to eat sweets, which in turn, clouds my judgement and triggers bad decision making. Note to self: do not mix alcohol and sugar.

Now if I want to manifest my Ying and make it stronger, I need to find a regular social activity. Like, sports. Pleease. I told the masseuse that I do engage in a social activity. It’s called blogging. Apparently, sitting in front of your computer alone for hours is not a social activity. What?

Anyways, while I’m getting my massage and podomany on, I’m feeling all zen and shit. Our deep, intellectual conversation about my life is suddenly interrupted: [in Chinese] ”WAAAAAH! You need to get a lymph node massage!!! Your legs are sooo FAT!” Yup. That’s a typical traditional Chinese woman for you. Mind you, during the foot massage you could only see my calves. So now I have fat calves too, right under my fat thighs. Common theme?

My BFF and I did burst out laughing though. No offence taken.

XO,

PS – I thought this outfit was appropriate for the post because it’s bold and strong. Since I’m manly and all.

Happy Chinese New Year everybunny!
Wishing you + your families much health, happiness and prosperity!

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.
