For 2012

I spent the better part of the morning trying to decide whether or not to use my free domestic roundtrip ticket or my frequent flyer miles in another airline when I go home for the holidays.  I ended up using neither and booked using my credit card and chose to add to my miles instead. [...]

An Aside

I have, as a rule, tried refrained from posting whenever I found myself in a place which we call The Doldrums.  However, there have been exceptions.  Few and far between, but yes, exceptions.  Sometimes, there is just absolutely nothing to be done but take to your trusty computing machine and pour your heart out to [...]

Shangrila Mactan

A few weekends back, in a very spur of the moment sort of way, I found myself lounging in Shangrila Mactan.  I had been planning a trip there for quite some time now and because the Universe loves me like that, I did end up going. It’s a beautiful place and lying there drowsily under [...]

A Dillinger’s Halloween

Last night I went to Dillinger’s for the Halloween party.  As it was open bar all night for those coming in costume, I frantically raided my closet and junk pile to come up with a costume. I came up with this. I love that most everyone made an effort to dress up. And what’s a [...]

New Toy!

Today was the day I first laid my hands on THIS:     I’ve been anticipating this since Friday and when I finally got my new MacBook Air today I practically swooned with delight. It’s sleek and slim and beautiful! And soooo light.  I am beaming with happiness! While my MacBook Pro has surpassed all [...]

Chambray & Leather

This is me the night of the Cosmo Bachelor Bash. A fresh haircut, a new camera and a chambray shirt I had just bought in Hong Kong that had yet to be worn. I took out my black (faux) leather mini and trusty red Stella Luna stilettos. Four inches without the benefit of a platform [...]

Love for Jenny Packham

I have been obsessed with shine and beadwork for quite a while now. If it’s sequined, crystal-encrusted or just generally sparkly, then I want it. Which is why I have a deep and abiding love for Jenny Packham’s Spring 2011 collection (not so much the 2012, felt a little blah to me).     Clearly, [...]

One sunny day in Victoria…

I visited Butchart Gardens. The Butchart Gardens is a private family-owned estate (I know, right? There’s a manor on the grounds for the family.).  Mrs. Butchart started the gardens as a personal project because there was a huge, gaping quarry on their property from the limestone mining of her husband’s business.  She started with the [...]

Prints love!

I am a lover of classics and elegance.  Dresses that drape perfectly, sinuous lines, monochromatic tones in beautiful cuts that still manage to exude drama and confidence. But the summer girl in me is drawn by bright colors and beautiful prints.  Prints, when done right, are elegant, sophisticated and fun all at the same time. [...]

Whale Watching: Killer Whales

Today was quite possibly one of the best days of my life. The sun was out and making promises. It was going to be a gorgeous day and I was giddy with excitement. Six hours on the boat and so completely worth it. I went whale watching courtesy of Wild Whales Vancouver today and it [...]
