White boys a-shirt: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Heather grey dress: Maple (Hong Kong). Necklaces: Tryst by Kerry, B*jeweled Vintage, and Urban Outfitters. Black ribbed knee socks: H&M. Flats: Zara.

My aunt bought me this dress while she was in Hong Kong and I was cleaning up after her eight (!) cats. That day I went to the Jays game and it was all-you-can-eat. The dress was perfect for hiding the stomach bulge after consuming all that junk food. My friend and I topped off the afternoon with super yummy mango gelato from Dolce. It's all I've been able to think about since.

Striped 3/4 sleeve tee: Joe Fresh Style. Trio of birds necklace: H&M. Skirt: H&M. Black opaque tights: unknown. Black jazz shoes: Dolce Vita.

Last week was spent cat-sitting and grandpa-sitting while my aunt and uncle jet-setted around Hong Kong for the week. My grandparents immigrated to Canada around the same time I moved when I was six and bought my old house. These photos were taken in my old bedroom. I remember choosing the wallpaper, but I don't remember that tiger decal which must've been put up for me since there were no children in the house after I moved.

The photos from the past several posts were taken in and around my grandpa's house (my old house).

After spending four years making installation art, I graduated with a fine arts degree in New Media and have an unwavering fascination with technology-based art (and design). So every time I see something like what's in the pictures above, I can't help but exclaim, "How new media!". I had the same reaction to Hussein Chalayan's transforming dresses. His creations were a lot more complex then these illuminated sea cookie pins from Stephanie Simek, but all it takes is a simple LED to dazzle me.

I saw this cat lamp and knew I had to use it somehow. I wish I took a better photo of the shoes though.

White boys tee: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Cameo necklace: Tryst by Kerry. Paper bag waist skirt: Joe Fresh Style. Brown patterned tights: Dragon Centre (Hong Kong). Rain boots: Miss Sixty.

It's strange; I've always taken better outdoor photos then indoors, but add a person in the frame and suddenly the reverse is true. Or maybe I need to learn how to model.

It was raining the day I wore this outfit so I decided to reshoot it because leaving my camera on a tripod without a shield from the rain is not a good idea.

Last week there were a couple days where it was really cold so I dug out this cashmere black & blue houndstooth coat that I inherited from my grandmother.

Sorry for the lack of posts of late. I've been busy/lazy, but mostly busy. I've been taking pictures, but I haven't been able to sit down and go through them until now. I'll be doing some catch-up posts over the next day or so.
