my friend wesley made this video for a school project. i was told to throw on some casual wear, which to me translates as sequined pants. despite the fact that it was cold and i was hungry, i think it turned out quite well. after a good few years of collecting virtual dust, wes is also going to be relaunching doubleyouwhy; im excited! this is a snippet of what we rewarded ourselves with afterwards :

im on the lookout for some trousers that tickle my fancy! as per usual, ankle skimming is a must in my books. thats my way of casually reminding people ‘im a nerd, but YOU CAN TRUST ME.. sortof’. borrowing these two photos from nam of streetfsn.
new balance : classic 574
November 5th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
with the thought of my gpa constantly looming over my head, i’d say more than ever, i’m dressing for comfort. i had looked into buying nb’s a few times in beijing, but never actually went through with the purchase until now. with the help of my twitter + instagram + facebook amigos, i picked out this colorway of 574 new balances. not only am i loving this new balance video made by dee, im enjoying the revival of classic sneakers in a quirky, preppy way. throw on a quaint tee, some slacks, and a pair of fuzzy socks and you’re all set! ..pascal grob gets me!

just on the lookout for staples that can get me through the next few months of cold, and hopefully successful hibernation. or maybe, im just looking for another excuse to bring out my inner old lady. brogues/loafers, big gray cardis, and cozy plaid anything is what i have in mind. check out : svpply.com/goldzmine for more of my picks.

spencer edwards of propr postur is dapper incarnate. his sense of personal style is admiral in the sense that it is so well developed and consistently good. i could easily see him rolling with the gentleman of street etiquette. spencer and i get along well because he’s one of the few that actually exemplifies that fashion should be fun, and that there’s no reason for snubbing one another!
recandplay : 10cm + russian red
October 5th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
thanks to my friend, audrey, ive been pulled out of my music rut which has lasted for quite some time. i literally spent the summer listening to the same two songs on repeat. she introduced me to this korean duo, which goes by 10cm. together, kwon jung yeol and yoon cheol jong, make cute, catchy and honest ballads. i listened once, i listened 50 more times. download: americano and 오늘밤은 어둠이 무서워요.
their take away show was filmed by recandplay so i decided to look into this a bit more. they film bands and artists playing spontaneous sets in and around seoul, whether that be an echoey underpass or a cozy cafe. i discovered a ton of talented new acts, but the gorgeous gal of russian red (who is actually from spain) and her sweet voice particularly caught my attention.

decided to head over to lawrence to taste what all the hype was about. i grabbed the burger and fries, which came on a nice sesame bun and had a really tasty grilled tomato inside. i promised myself that this year i would spend less money on clothes, in order to save up for more adventures (and shopping in asia). although i’ve been sticking to and not buying clothes, i’ve been spending ALL of my money on food instead. oops!

hello readers! don’t think i’ve forgotten about you. i’ve just been incredibly underwhelmed by this side of the planet. i guess i was just taken in by the overstimulation of all my senses back in china. please accept my sincere apology in the form of street style photos (i wish i could fix more problems this way) from montreal fashion week ss12.
