weekly wants 04

This week I'm feeling everything asymmetrical. From hair to garments to makeup to that SICK Rick Owens oyster colored skirt that could also double as a loincloth (at least the Sykes one offers more coverage)... Lusting over the Topshop version with the lingering tail to the soft and feminine Dolly Pearl dress in a magnificent mustard color you'll start to feel like anything symmetrical is just so boring! xxx

These are my favorite pieces from Lauren Moffatt's 'The Honeymooner' SS 2011 collection. Delicate boater hats, subtle pastel colors, scalloped edging, crochet, knee high socks, tousled hair, and a dash of coyness is all you need to achieve the look of a newlywed according to little miss Lauren xxx

As a welcome back gift for JN (after travelling) and myself (from England), we went for a nice dinner at Society in Yaletown. The atmosphere and interior was lovely accompanied by THE cutest waiters. My only regret was not ordering the candy cotton cocktail. It is an art piece in itself! As for the photos... well we ALWAYS have to do a typical Asian pose. Why? BECAUSE WE CAN. I hope my sarcasm translates well from my photographs and writing...

weekly buys 03

photos by me via naked eye magazine

I picked up this magazine the other day and the first page I flipped to was the interview on Semi Precious Weapons. No joke. I had met the band while I was in England and they were (and currently still are) touring with Lady Gaga so I was lucky enough to go to a few gigs. I met them before I heard their music so I'm probably biased in my opinion but their stuff is worth listening to! Check out their cover of Lady Gaga's Dance in the Dark mixed with their track Statues of Ourselves during a sound check!

HOWEVER, let me reiterate that this is NOT the main reason as to why I bought the magazine. The editorials were just too beautiful! The geometric patterns and the bubble wrap hat photos above are my favorite! xxx

love labels?

Then you'll love Label Lovers Boutique. The wonderful Danna emailed me saying that she wanted to give my readers a 10% discount (Enter code: RL1) when shopping at the site! The prices are affordable already but who doesn't love to save?! They've got a great selection of designer pieces that I've not seen before and the stock is limited so hurry up! And besides, with the slogan 'a chic designer resale shop', who can say no? Here are my picks from the online boutique xxx
