PLAYING WITH RED AND PINK

HELLO LOVELIES! I know I was supposed to do a blog entry about my room last weekend but I got so preoccupied with spontaneous happenings and so I'll make it up to you guys next time :) As usual, I thought I was gonna have a steady weekend but instead I was out from Friday to Sunday! Went to Southcentre with Dee to get Rihanna tickets last Friday and then decided to go back to her house to drink (we did a little shopping at Value Village too and I bought some gym outfits and RL dressy shorts). Little did I know, the whole house is up for a party and we stayed up until 4 am doing karaoke, drinking champagne, Bailey's and red wine all together. Woke up the next day with a major hangover (the last one I had was NYE, I think!) but come dinner time, there was an overload of food from kare-kare, chopseuy and teriyaki. We were supposed to have another drinking sesh but alas, I was kidnapped by Swiss Army (which is good cos my tummy was hurting and I don't think I can ever drink again that time) and my Saturday night was instead spent watching 127 Hours (perfect thing to do when there's a major snow storm outside in the middle of what is supposed to be spring time). Sunday, I went back to Dee's cos I was feeling a bit melodramatic and we had another overload of food from pansit to liempo and had a steady drinking sesh of red wine and champagne. 

I would prolly not wear too much color in one outfit but Canada just really turned me into a more colorful person...which is good, I think. I have to spice up my wardrobe and try new things, yeah?

What did you do last weekend? 

P.S.

April is the birthday month of my blog and I have a lot in store for you, lovelies! Come back~

BANDAGE-d: UNTUCKED (PART 2)

So here is the PART 2 of my bandage skirt challenge (If you missed PART 1, you can see it HERE). This is prolly more of my style and how I would wear it if I am going out. It is just more relaxed this way with the shirt untucked, the fedora with the aviators...that is exactly how I want it. I imagine myself sitting on a pub by the patio, drinking vodka while watching people go by with this outfit ;) Oh, how I want summer to come already!

 I'm feeling a little lost for words lately. I am deeply saddened by how other people can be especially if you treated them as your REAL friend. I am the kind of person who doesn't get upset easily and I can shake things off in an instant. However, I've dealt with too much fake friends in the past that I thought I got rid of all of them or at least be keen enough to know if I can trust someone but I guess that is inevitable. I just don't want to deal with this kind of high school-ish crap but I guess some people are still in that stage or are stuck in that stage and I could always rise above it and be the better person. As A would say, 

"You think you know people and then they surprise you."

Oh well. I am just grateful fro TRUE friends and to you my followers who can turn my day around with your lovely comments. THANK YOU ;)

So...who wore it better: PART 1 or PART 2?

BANDAGE-d: TUCKED IN (PART 1)

Hello, second day of spring! Instead of flowers blooming, birds chirping and the warmth of the sun, we are experiencing a less than warm weather and a massive snowfall yesterday on the official first day of spring. 

 Last week was a different story, it felt more like spring thus these amazing sunny photos and a bandage skirt. My friend Grace gave me this bandage skirt for Christmas (although she gave it to me like 2 weeks ago when I went to Cochrane over the weekend) and thing is, I've never really been a big fan of bandage skirts. I just think that it is not my style and it is unforgiving. For anyone to wear a bandage skirt with a top tucked in, you need to have a perfectly flat tummy, curvy hips and Kim Kardashian's perfect ass. Not that I have any of those but I just thought there's no harm in trying. With that being said, I challenged myself to wear the exact same top, skirt and shoes--style it differently (1) accept the fact that a bandage skirt really looks good with a shirt tucked in but the challenge is not to make it look hoochie (2) do it as I've imagined, with a flimsy top (I've always imagined a bandage skirt with a cropped top too) but untucked to give it a more relaxed effortless feel.

So this is how I decided to style it with a flimsy top tucked in but I threw in a fur vest to give it a hint of masculinity. I think the key too in wearing bandage skirts with tops tucked in is to balance the whole outfit by giving it a hint of androgyny like a vest or a blazer. Do you think I lived up to the first style challenge? I hope so!!!! Part 2 would be coming up on the next post :)

P.S.

I wanna hear all about your weekend! 

Mine was spent catching up with an old friend from BC and some impulsive shopping. EEP!!! 
Will tell you all about it in the upcoming posts ;)

GET HAPPY

Woke up to a gloomy and snowy Wednesday morning after days of having sunshine and warmth. They say that this is exactly what Calgary is for ya! But after hearing all the devastating things happening all over the world, the least I can do is complain on Calgary's weather no matter how horrible it is.

These photos are way loooooooong overdue. I think we shot this a month ago but due to my Norovirus, meeting up and getting my USB from Amy got delayed and delayed some more. We shot this one lovely Saturday morning after having an enormous amount of breakky at Denny's, a bus and a train ride. Amy and I took turns in taking outfit photos of each other (Here are the photos I took of her: http://www.amyflyingakite.com/2011/02/leopard-bear.html) and swore that we would do this again next time when our hands won't be shivering (Amy almost got frost bite! Her fingers literally turned blackish after the shoot and we had to rush to the bathroom to let hot water run down her fingers!). We found solace at Second Cup drinking chai tea and eating cookies...eventually getting annoyed by text messages and deciding to drink!

We went back to Amy's place first where we had pizza, sausage, cheese for dinner. Her mom started mixing drinks for us (our trick to not spending too much on alcohol at Ship LOL!) and by 9, we were ready to go! Amy let her floppy rest and I changed my maxi to shorts (Thank God, I fit in Amy's shorts for I don't wanna go to a pub in a maxi skirt!). We headed to Ship and Anchor (Where else? DUH.)--I had my usual vodka 7 and Amy, her signature gin + soda. Met some cool, interesting people and bumped into some people that we NEVER thought we'd ever see again. Tummies turned upside down and lips swore like it never swore before! There are more stories in between but it is for us to keep and all I can say is...EPIC.
