della introduced me to Mr. Red Cafe today- just up Hastings.

mind blown.

if you think you've had vietnamese, think again.

all i can say is if you are a Vancouverite you must go.

end of story.

in the evening we ran, (literally), in the pouring rain to Crackle Creme.

our lovely friend, Mary, joined us.

what'a treat.

those creme brulees in front of us were gone in seconds.

give the lavender honey a try.

december in detail

no, this will not be an "obligatory 2014 recap".

however, it will be a super informal december recap.

from top to bottom:

1, 2, & 3: one of the bestest guys i know, Matt, snapped some photos of me after our Bao Bei binge.

4, 5 & 6: the day we launched our wings + horns x New Balance collab (sneaker, jacket, zip hoodie + jogger pant). 

that's Dave and i throwin' up deuces (or whatever the cool kids like to call it). 

next, you'll notice my super amateur foot modelling for Hypebeast 

(shot by Jeremy Jude Lee- maybe one of the chillest guys i know & super talented too), 

wearing the collab sneaker. 

the next photo is a snap of Tiger's feet cause i like what he's doin'.

7: my cute succulents just beaming with delight.

8: wearing an Aritzia coat, American Apparel denim and socks and the wings + horns x New Balance MT580's.

9: wearing a thrifted coat, American Apparel button-down, denim and socks, 

Daniel Wellington Sheffield Lady Watch, Adidas Superstars and Army & Navy toque.

10: post wings + horns Christmas party with nik. a really awesome evening.

11: wearing a Stutterheim rain jacket, Oak + Fort leggings, wings + horns x New Balance MT580's,

 thrifted knapsack and Army & Navy toque.

12: after receiving new things in the mail, you sometimes have an urge to just throw it all on...

 for example.

13: Christmas Eve. very cold.

14: MY SUPER RAD DAD on Christmas day! 

(ps follow @squattingwithplants on Instagram... or simply send me your squatting with plants photo(s)... or just hashtag #squattingwithplants... but whatever you do, don't stop squatting).

15: received this Acne mail the other day. it was like, how one person on Instagram phrased it, "Acne-ception". 

love Acne but the branding on all the packaging was a bit of an overkill 

(and you're seeing only half of it here, folks).

the end.

oh, 

hello 2015.

~ beige, baby, beige

... or camel.

defaulting to lighter, neutrals this season.

you know me, nothin' crazy.

i probably own about 10 Army & Navy toques.

why? 

because they are $1. 

they're all i wear.

(well, not ALL).

we all have that particular "thing" that we insist we "can't have enough of".

i went through fazes of sunglasses, coats, snapbacks, earrings, lipstick...

i guess now it's sneakers, hoodies, toques and socks. 

... i can just feeeeel the warmth and comfort from that sentence.

if you ever happen to find me in a skirt or dress... flats or heeled boots, know that

you've caught me in a somewhat unusual, very rare occasion.

and then leave it at that.

"bent over, peeing ourselves laughing".

boyfriend blazer- Aritzia, denim- Zara, thrifted shirt, Adidas Gazelles
surely my most favorite person to snap my photos is my manager, Raekha.
the first few photos are fairly "normal" until 10 seconds in and we are bent over, peeing ourselves laughing.
it may be her photo-snapping stance or absurd commentary... or a bit of both.
evidentially & thankfully, we have the above photos.
