MICHAEL VAN DER HAM


I've never really paid attention to London's Fashion Week but Jonathan Saunder's collection caught my attention as well as Erdem's lace creations & Michael Van Der Ham's deconstructed looks (whom I sheepishly admit, I've never heard of). On to Milan Fashion Week! :) Stay tuned for my favourites & I hope you're having a great weekend, cos I sure am. Highlights of my weekend include:

• Getting back into kickboxing (on a Saturday too!)
• Date night
• Movie night with Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
• Dim Sum
• Produce shopping in Chinatown
• Couch lounging
• Home cooking

NYFW evening edition

Why hello again. I was about to pass out from the Malaysian/Singaporean food fest I had but came across the lovely Chris Benz Spring 2011 line and had to blog about it. This is simply right up my alley!! I could basically wear EVERYTHING in this line, including/especially the Alejandro Ingelmo SHOES!

Perhaps a little inspiration for my workoutfit tomorrow? 

Good night.

My picks from NYFW so far...

   

DEREK LAM

THANKOON

   
CAROLINA HERRERA

Somehow I find myself gravitating towards the loose and flowy silhouettes this Spring 2011 season. I'm particularly fascinated by Derek Lam - I was never one to like the minimalistic aesthetic of the 3 power Asian American designers: Derek Lam, Alexander Wang & Jason Wu. But this season, there's something about Derek Lam's easy chic & crisp sophistication that's got my attention. 

Stay tuned for more NYFW updates!

Gone Fishing

I'm so glad I decided to take the extra day off to recoup from the red-eye flight into the City. I got so much done today other than catching my Zs. It was good to be home for those few days, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine in Vancouver. The highlight of my trip: Sockeye Salmon Fishing!

MY FISHING OUTFIT: CONVERSE, BLACK TIGHTS, OLD NAVY STRIPED LONG SLEEVE T, NAVY HOODED TUNIC, TNA WHITE HOODIE & NORTH FACE GRACE JACKET

12 sockeye, a bucket of prawns and a sole, we went home happy despite the choppy waters. BBQ salmon never tasted so good and fresh salmon roe was delicious! Who would have thought fishing would've been so much fun? Hope your long weekend was just as fish-tastic as mine!

Escape from Earl

I'm spending Labour Day long weekend at Home...in YVR and the weather's been gorgeous. I'm glad I'm no where near Hurricane Earl that's supposed to hit the NY area this weekend :)

Being home brings back a sense of nostalgia for me...What do you love about being home?

PS: It's September...holy cow.
