a little study afternoon spent with my best friend, audrey. i just realized we’ve been friends for over 9 years! we found this perfect tiny street which resembles new york in the most pleasant of ways. if i look really tired (as per usual) its because i keep drinking coffee towards 8 or 9pm and then im up studying or pretend studying until 4 or 5am. definitely.. healthy.

after that we grabbed some burgers and kogos (like a pogo but 1 million times better) at one of my fave spots, picks! its cheap, delicious and i love the cute couple that prepare the food. you take a little slip of paper and cross off all the ingredients you want in your burger ~ i suggest mixing kimchi and bacon together. i always spend some extra time at the end of my meal drawing up a doodle of whoever im with and adding it to the corkboard. every so often they have to take down some of the doodles to make room for new ones, and im proud to say they never ever take down mine!

Picks. 1407 Rue Saint Marc. Montréal, QC.


 my favorite pairs of shoes are the ones i can carry from season to season, and those that seem to last forever. docs are apart of that solid few that can achieve both, all the while being aesthetically pleasing. i think i have this inner school child that never seems to want to leave, so i enjoy all the classics from a well made button down shirt to a spiffy pair of docs.

 i remember i got my first pair a few years back, and i went to some questionable neighbourhood to buy them, basically hitting jackpot. they were an icey greyish blue, the original made in england kind, and were brand spanking new. its nice to know we dont have to go to these lengths to buy cute boots anymore! i honestly saw about 10 pairs at which i thought to myself “I HAVE TO HAVE THESE”; from patent to polka dotted, they have everything. along with doc martens shaped cookies, grilled cheese sandwhiches from barmacie and lots and lots of beer and jagermeister, the excellent crowd made for a really fun shop launch!

1383 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest. Montreal. QC.

im not even sure if these two girls know each other or not, but as a camo lover, i thought it would be nice to take a duo photo! i pulled them aside from the doc martens montreal shop launch party and tadaaa! these lovelies were so pleasant to shoot.

went to ogilvy’s shopping event for the launch of their 5 new shops in the basement level. there was also a pop up shop for marc by marc jacobs and music by dj funk. basically just brought two of my best friends along and we trolled around the store. glad wrg mag was organizing; made the whole thing a little less stuffy!

if boys look like this in spring/summer 2013 then i’m already counting down the days. actually, i have a lot of important deadlines coming up so these two dimensional boys are as good as it gets for me at the moment. general idea is based in new york, but i later realized its a korean brand. i guess i’m still on that wave length then. the camo, the earthy tones with suttle pops of neon and the nonchalant ‘i woke up and threw this on but damn, i look good’ vibe is what im feeling at the moment. i hope i can achieve that last bit.


i thought i’d wrap up what i’ve been up to as of late with a few photos. had a good time in seoul and beijing; relaxing with friends, old and new. i had a coffee shop filled summer which makes me super happy and i ate ridiculous amounts of yummy food. i got my own apartment in china with a really awesome roommate. even went on an impromptu camping trip on the great wall at 2am. lots of partying and dancing as well (had to get some exercise in after all that fooood). overall, a very exciting and spontaneous two months.

hee eun and i spent the day strolling around hongdae together and she brought me to one of her favourite coffee shops. i cant even imagine my indecisive self trying to pick a favourite out of all of them, but i can definitely see why she particularly likes cafe homeo. it has 2 floors of luxurious, well designed and cozy furniture and you can basically plop down wherever you see fit. if you want to hear my coffee shop playlist, don’t forget to check out the last post!
