Happy New Year!

Wow what a year! 2012 came and went in (almost) a blink of an eye. I had a whirlwind of a year - amongst many things, I got a puppy (now a 1 year old dog), worked on numerous exciting projects at work, visited Italy (somewhere I always wanted to visit but never got around to) and focused more on writing this blog (another thing I always wanted to do but never got to till now and I now find it very therapeutic).

I have had a fun year writing on here and hope you will continue to come visit and share your thoughts.
With this blog, I don't intend for it to be a name dropping platform but a place for me to share my life, my fashion chronicles, my work, things and people that are important to me, etc...

A lot of you have asked me various questions about me and this blog. I will have a post all about moi soon, to answer all your burning questions. :)
Reflection.
I am pretty fortunate to have great people in my life and to have achieved as much as I have at my age.
I am thankful everyday for everything and I never forget to give back. Growing up, Christmas and the holiday have always been a time to rededicate ourselves back to others. My grandma had always instilled in us the basis for goodwill and charity work, to end suffering, and to find happiness within ourselves through the happiness and goods in others. We have an obligation, wherever possible, to try to repair the world. Whether it was providing warm socks and meals to the homeless during the winter months, bowling for the Big Brothers, biking to end cancer, volunteering as a mentor at a local youth club or working with sick kids at my local hospital, those memories and experiences have always brought so many important value and so much warmth to me. I hope to be able to continue my contribution to my local community and someday do it on a global basis.

OOTD - Tweed and Metallic

I was on ShopBop the other week and I saw this Free People motorcycle style tweed jacket and knew I had to have it. It has an edgy motorcycle cut but still gives off a lady-like feel due to the boucle fabric. I was at work so couldn't purchase it and by the time I got home it had sold out.. Then last week, while on my lunch break, I went to my local The Bay department store to buy Top Shop tights and saw that they now carry Free People. I walked over to that section and spotted THE JACKET. Yep, the coveted jacket that had sold out on me! Well, it is at home with me now and it made a debut this weekend. Yay! It had a cropped back and while the tweed makes up most of the jacket, the sleeves are made of comfortable knitted cotton. It's light weight yet it keeps me warm in the odd in-between weather that is Vancouver.'s.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy these shots and please excuse the rear end shots. I only posted them to show the cropped back and different material between the body and the sleeves. Happy Monday!
