Style Inspiration | Thigh/Knee High Boots


I had my eyes on these leather beauties since early autumn, and just about a month ago I finally decided to bring them home with me. The reason it took me so long to decide was mainly because they seemed so easy to ruin, considering the unpredictable (rainy) weather here in Vancouver.  Also, I wasn't too sure what to wear with these boots. I knew they looked great on their own, but I needed some more convincing.



I find that an outfit with tall boots, paired with any bottom that gives just a peak of your thighs, are incredibly charming. The pictures above are my favourite outfits depicting the perfect combination of the "sexy, yet sophisticated" look.

Holidaze With The Girlfriends



My girlfriends and I had a little christmas gathering at Lauren's last night. Nothing crazy, nor big, but we had the right amount of wine and tons of carbs to keep us busy.






A new holiday tradition :)
Next year: Lidia's

Saturday Night Out: Cindy's Birthday




My best friend turned 21 today. She's no longer a baby! We went to celebrate on Saturday night. We stuffed our faces with delicious carbs, endless red wine, and then went to meet our friends in Gastown for more drinks and catching up.

Girl's Night In



No, we don't braid each other's hairs, have pillow fights, and gush over boys.
This is what really goes down:



we. eat. everything.






drink wine in mugs. 
can't risk using the pretty wine glasses on a night like this.




we love cake. especially chocolate, or in this case red velvet.
we'll eat it with our hands, forks, spoons, or even chopsticks. 
whatever.


we attempt to watch movies.


but we'd rather dance instead.



it was nice waking up to this.
morning after was the first day of snow :)



need that vitamin c.

Sometimes I'm Productive




The one place I can effortlessly find  myself to harmonize my creativity with productivity is when I am sitting in a cafe in the city. There aren't any good cafes in my neighbourhood, other than the local Starbucks across my house, but the atmosphere just isn't the same. 



A little OOTD, because why not. 


It takes me about an hour to transit to downtown, but I don't mind it. I actually enjoy the process of getting to Vancouver in the mornings.



  Once a week I like to dedicate a few hours to organize my thoughts, go over my goals, and allow myself to take my time to get things done. The overlap of conversations, faint music, and the smell of espresso create the ideal environment for originality.




At times, I can't help but to eavesdrop on a few conversations nearby. To be honest, I sometimes like to listen in on purpose, especially when I'm brainstorming for an assignment, or stuck on an idea. Some discussions are strongly opinionated, and some are on topics I've never even heard of - but that's the beauty of inspiration, isn't it?
