Ooh La Jacquemus!

Let me just start off by confessing that I did wear a wool skirt on a fairly warm day.

Granville Island

Granville island, which is one of my favorite spots in Vancouver. The nature, the art and the food make me enjoy my visits every time even I'm a local. I'm extra happy this time because I went with my love, J:

My Favourite Scents & their Je ne sais quoi

When it comes to fragrance, I’m not the type of girl who sticks with just one scent. To me, a fragrance is like an outfit, I change it according to which ever outfit I decide to wear on that particular day. I own 10+ fragrances but I do have top 5 picks that I love, and 3 out of them are my all time favourites. My top 5 picks are - from the oldest to newest addition - Bvlgari Pour Homme Extreme; Love, Chloe; Carven Le Parfum; Maison Martin Margiela Beach Walk; and Byredo Bal d’Afrique. My favourite 3 that I gravitate toward the most as of Spring/Summer 2015? Bal d’Afrique, Beach Walk, and Carven.

It’s like having love affairs with each and every one of them. The decisions fall on my mood and the articles of clothing I want to wear.

-Disclaimer- This is not a review of these fragrances, I’m not particularly good at picking up the notes in them. However, I’ve came to a conclusion that between those fragrances, few thing in common are that they’re all somewhat “clean, fresh, citrus-y, woody, white floral&musky"- if you’re not a super-girly-girl, you seek for fragrances that bring you an uplifting energy and comfort, and you don’t like loud scents, this post may be helpful!:)

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 2.0

If you ask me what are some clothing items that I feel most comfortable in- my answer would be: anything denim and a good boyfriend button-down shirt. Preferably with stripes. Both of which are timeless pieces and I promise you, I've worn this shirt with everything in my wardrobe. And yes, it works! This time, I decided to wear it with my new addition- the distressed dungarees.

Vancouver weather has been very warm lately, to combat the hot sun, I wore an awesome combo of a wide brimmed hat that I got recently and could not stop wearing-- and sunglasses :)

Balloon Dogs

I enjoy putting an outfit together. Whether it's for myself or for someone else, it's such a fun and rewarding thing to do because one can have his/her personality shine through the outfits they're wearing. Personally, if you're seeking for an instant pick-me-up, incorporate something you love/fun/makes you smile into your outfit. Ostwald Helgason is a London based label founded by Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason. I have been a fan when I first saw their collection from 2013 F/W. Their designs are a combination of opulent patterns and wearable silhouettes; quirky and unexpected. This pair of jacquard shorts by Ostwald Helgason is one of those pieces that puts a smile on my face. It's got balloon poodles all over! They remind me of Jeff Koons balloon dogs. So cute, right?
