After months of my blog dying a slow death (where I barely managed one post per week) I'm doing pretty good with my updates these days. I even managed to update the "favourite posts" on the sidebar. Next I need to finish the static pages (on the top navigation bar), & most importantly - get a new logo/header designed. It's going to be quite expensive...but then after I make the investment and get a nice one, that should keep me motivated to not neglect my blog again. Hopefully I can keep up my posting rate of 2-3 a week or more..then I'll be able to finish my travel posts in no time. Then I will run out of content and need to go on vacation again? hahah.

So I'm taking a break from the vacation posts now with some random photos of my recent life. In the photo above, I'm wearing a super wrinkly 3.1 Phillip Lim top I got from Hong Kong. I love the silver collar and cuffs.


Lamborghini Huracan from the annual MotorExpo around the Financial District last week. Lamborghinis used to be my favourite when I was younger..now my favourite has been replaced by the Mercedes G-Wagon (current dream car) & Bentleys..but I love the colour of this Lamborghini! I used to love the flashy colour-ed ones until I found them too flashy, but I love navy blue.

For Father's Day, I brought my dad to Origin for brunch. I've been here several times for dinner before but not brunch. We got these to share. The "Bufala Mozzarella" (my favourite - I get this every time I come!!), "Crushed Yukon Gold Potato" & "Smoked Bacon Eggs Benedict". Everything was very good and we were extremely full by the end.

I'm in a nail polish obsession phase again. This one is "Peach Side Babe" by Essie from the Summer 2015 collection. I don't find the quality of Essie nail polish to be that good but I like their shades. It doesn't really matter to me anyway since I literally change my nail polish every other day max.

This one is "Cute as a Button" by Essie. I really like this colour. It's very similar to "Live Love Carnaval" by OPI which is my top favourite pink shade.

Dinner at Le Modern Japanese Cuisine. The food here is pretty good and I love how everything is nicely presented - very Instagram-able. In this photo is the Aburi Nigiri and Grilled Squid.


Double Salmon Roll


Nigiri Platter


Green Tea Crepe Cake


My little sunbather




The Dirty Bird "Bird'ger" & "Sweet Nuttins" ice cream sandwich..sooo good.

Just purchased a shiny new "Long Shawl Blazer" by Smythe last week..I love it! I wish the weather wasn't so unbearably hot every day so I could wear it more often.

Also tried on this white blouse (from Smythe's pre-fall 2014 collection). Even the smallest size seemed way too big on me..it is really beautiful though. I might end up going back to get it as well. & on the right is Hennessy sleeping..


The Motor Expo at Brookfield Place last week. The Bentley was my favourite.







Yesterday we visited Niagara Falls/Fallsview Casino. We had lunch at the Grand Buffet..here's the view.



It was way too hot and humid so I didn't last long outside. Went for a quick walk before I headed back to the casino lounge to watch the Germany - Algeria game. I'm supporting Germany this year. Such a close match..I was so relieved when they won in OT!

I've decided to sell some of my old designer items I never use anymore, starting with this Tiffany & Co Atlas necklace. I got it years ago and barely wore it. I think it's this one but mine is the smaller size. I just had it cleaned at the boutique last week. If you are interested in purchasing it, please email me! tiffany@leftbanked.com
