During an afternoon stroll with a friend this week, we wandered into an unassuming re-sell shop and I struck gold. Handmade, sequined and beaded on wool (it is heavy) with scalloped edges, the gorgeous vintage piece was hanging on the wall and I immediately knew it was special. Once I tried it on, I knew I couldn't leave the store without it and luckily the gracious shop keeper let me take it home for less than the price of a typical top from Zara! It was impossible to capture the true colour …

(Im)patiently Waiting
{Photos by Fotowok}Regardless of how pasty I currently am (or the fact that I will likely remain this pale all summer since I can't tan...

I'm not one to pose freely and proudly in front of a big crowd (though I've come a long way since a year ago) but it all turned out fine and dandy-- save for the semi-creepy Caucasian man who walked by, called me a "leng lui" (literally translates to "pretty girl" in …
Little Rascal
As me and my boyfriend's relationship has progressed over the last couple of years, my love for his little teacup Yorkie, Dexter, has grown as well. He is hyperactive and can be notoriously fickle, but there are times (usually when we have sufficiently tired him out) when his sweet, cuddly side comes out.
