411. Recent Life

I have been loyal to Dior foundation for many years but when I made the switch to liquid foundation (from powder), I didn't like the Dior one as much. I finally found the perfect one - the Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet. I love the scent of it too.

It's funny in my previous post I said I would update my blog more frequently but as expected, that didn't happen. In fact, I think the time from that post to this one is probably the longest time I haven't blogged. I just haven't had the time these days. I feel extremely busy yet I'm also not because I've been re-watching the entire series of Desperate Housewives (one of my favourite shows) from the beginning. Back to back episodes..I'm now up to season 3.



I poured out the rest of the vodka and washed the Crystal Head bottle..now it makes for the perfect foundation brush holder. The window cleaners came today. Luckily I was awake this time and had my curtains closed (usually they come early in the morning when I'm still in bed...)

351. CHV x McQ

This is one of my favourite photoshoots I've ever done. I'm really not sure why I never posted more photos from it before..so here it is! Subtle watermarking was needed on these since they're some of my favourites. I was looking through the old files buried away in my other laptop and found all the originals. The first post I made from it a couple years ago is the most popular post on my blog to date (well in terms of comments): Crystal Head Vodka x Alexander McQueen. So here's a repost/my favourites from the entire set.

I took these photos for a photography class project. We were to shoot a fashion accessory. I had just gotten the Alexander McQueen skull ring (from Paris, thanks to my sister!), and threw it together with some other matching items I had which turned out quite well I think. The Crystal Head Vodka skull bottle was still banned here at the time, and I wanted it really badly. I managed to get it at the perfect time. I'm very grateful for the creepy "anonymous" stranger who gave it to me. One morning my valet desk downstairs gave me a call to say someone left a package for me. I went to get it..my jaw dropped when I saw what it was..& dropped even further when they told me who had left it for me.

319. Sleep No More

3 more weeks until NYC! (& a couple weeks until my birthday but not as excited about that hahah) This month is going by so slowly though. One thing I'm very excited about is going to Sleep No More. It's an "interactive theatrical experience" loosely based on Shakespeare's Macbeth. Something like a play that the audience takes part in; walking around observing the actors in each room of the "abandoned hotel" where it's set. Oh & everyone has to wear a creepy mask similar to Phantom of the Opera. The style seems to me like 1920s/something out of a film noir. If my description didn't make much sense, read the review here. Can't wait!!


Outfit the other night + my old passport expired/renewed it just in time for NYC!


Crystal Head Vodka wearing my Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse graffiti scarf as a turban


St. Party's Day this weekend! The only green thing I own is that scarf (photo above) - bad lighting but it's actually neon green


Pravda last week - amazing acrobat!! One of the many many reasons this is my favourite spot in Toronto.




I took a short video:

I'm too ashamed to say how long overdue these photos from Richmond Station are. My friend & I came for dinner on their opening night, which was quiiiiite a long time ago. The food was good but not extremely memorable - I thought it was a bit over-priced to be honest. The chef here is the winner from Top Chef Canada.

309. Randoms from INSTAGRAM

Taking a small break from my NYC trip posts. I have gotten completely & utterly addicted to Instagram. I now have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and upgraded my phone plan as well to get 6x more data than I had before. My dad just showed me my most recent cell phone bill..my phone plan costs literally 4x more than his (of course he doesn't use data) thanks to my Instagram-ing all day. =\ Anyway. If you follow me you'll most likely have seen these photos already. & If you don't follow me, you should.


My windowsill (you've probably seen this a million times already) + one of my favourite bars, Ki !


My dog wants to play + my favourite cosmetics brand - Dior

WedLuxe wedding show (checked it out for work purposes) - it felt so weird being asked "so when's your wedding?" by all the exhibitors + post-Christmas Christmas gifts


What I see when I wake up + my outfit


My favourite building/where I go for late night walks, Brookfield Place + my view
