313. Clover Canyon

It's not often that I find a brand I love a LOT. Less than a week ago I suddenly began a crazy obsession with Clover Canyon. I've heard of the brand before but it's only recently that I started loving bodycon dresses in bold colourful prints..and they are just the perfect brand for those. So I went to Holt Renfrew and tried pretty much every dress and blazer from the collection. I ended up getting just one - really wish I could've walked away with like 10 others but already spent so much lately.. :(

I did this little photoshoot by myself today. This is why I rarely take photos of myself. It's exhausting having to run back and forth in heels to set the camera timer, then attempting to pose naturally all in the span of ten seconds.


These were taken in the changing room. The dress I got + the blazer I also desperately wanted..


Found a new place at home to display/photograph my clothes now!

The dress behind me was the one I originally wanted. Unfortunately the smallest size they had was Small..and I'm an X-Small in this brand (not complaining..but ah I wanted that one so badly!!!)


So this is the back..

& some more random photos taken recently:

Outfit + my view






My first attempt at a pano using my cell phone - the view from my bay window.

312. NYC Part 5 | Russian Tea Room

As many of you probably know, Paris is my most favourite city in the world. I most recently went this past June, which feels like forever ago..and I miss it terribly. To the point that whenever I see photos of it, it makes me sad that I'm not there right now. & Whenever I listen to Hotel Costes I think of aimlessly strolling around the city to Summer in Paris..or sitting in front of the Eiffel Tower every night with nutella crepes. I NEED TO GO BACK!!! Ok I should stop talking about Paris when this post is actually about New York lol. But that's just what I've been thinking about this past week..it relates to everything else that's been on my mind lately but I'll save that for another post.

Right now when I'm looking through these photos of NYC, I get a similar sort of feeling. Can't say I love that city even half as much as Paris, but I do wish I could rewind time (exactly a month ago today) to when I was there..this was a fun night:

It was New Year's Day/January 1st. Clark Kent* & I went to watch Phantom of the Opera at the Majestic Theatre. The show was at 7pm and we barely made it there after getting out of bed that morning (umm..I mean evening) It was the day after New Year's Eve after all, plus I was running on a mere 2 hours of sleep for the past 48 hours thanks to my early flight! The show was beautiful, I would definitely go again..

After that, we went to the Russian Team Room for 10pm post-theatre dinner..aka our first meal of the day. This place was near the top of my list (wanted to visit for years actually) and I just had to go. This is my favourite dinner from that trip! The food wasn't as amazing as I expected but it was such a funny evening.



My appetizer: Buckwheat Blini and Red Caviar


Main: Chicken Kiev #2. I found a rubberband in the first but the servers were extremely apologetic about it.

Dessert: Czar's Gold and Caviar Parfait - Nougat cream, toasted almonds, chocolate sauce and 24-karat edible gold! SO GOOD..


Clark Kent's* tiramisu (?)

Lunch last Monday at my favourite restaurant, Canoe !



Dinner at Weslodge - I shamefully admit, these photos are months overdue. The decor in there is like a modern saloon with walls full of taxidermied animals.


One of their most popular dishes, the scotch egg (my favourite)




The food was good but the portions were tiny.
