First New Outfit of the Year..

On the 31st, my friends and I went down to the Art Gallery. Then we went around downtown looking for pastries. We ended up going to this basement vintage store by Robson St and Granville St. The store's name is True Value Vintage if I am not wrong. I have been there before... but I never bought anything, until that night. I found this beautiful ruffly dress that looks like an early 20th Century nightie and an amazing belt to go with it! Plus they were an additional 20% off :D

This is how the ruffles are like.

The kind-of-Celtic belt to go with it.

Me wearing it for the New Year's Eve party.

Trying to do a cool pose. Failed miserably.. :( I think I need to smile to look good.

New Year's Eve!

I'm sorry I don't have better photos for it. I really wish I do. We were indoors and the lighting just sucks :(. I need to grab my dad's tripod from the storage I think. And just hope that the sun comes out soon and then I want to do a photoshoot.

Oh. Sorry for the old ugly plain template. I'm working out some kinks right now. New cool template will be up soon!

Until then, let's all succeed with our New Year's resolutions!

Crazy Festive Week!

Photobucket
I hope you all had fun in your Christmas dinners and Christmas morning-afters!

The week following Christmas has been so tiring... I was working 6 days straight with 6-8 hr shifts. Retail can be really taxing! But I had fun nonetheless. I love my job and my co workers are definitely the best team I've ever worked with.

Sorry for the lack of updates. We just moved so the only Internet available is the one that I've been stealing from my neighbours (yay for apartments! thank you, belkin54G). The slow internet makes any sort of photo upload or attaching files a drag. And since I just changed my Windows XP to Windows 7, I had to re install everything. Worse comes to worst, I haven't found my Photoshop :( Pardon my unedited photos. Never imagined how hard it is to do stuff without the Internet.

I had a fun Christmas dinner. Dined at aunt's house. We decided that we are tired of turkey, so she made roast beef. I made the yorkshire pudding to go with it :). Mmm.

Oh! By the way, I lost 5 pounds already. So that's one thing off the major checklist!

I will have a stable Internet on the 14th! Until then, the posts will be boring with no pictures :(. Or I might not even be able to update. Rah rah rah.

Some photos from the dinner :)

My Christmas Eve outfit. New shirt from a friend, and the belt used to belong to my aunt. I think it's from the 80s :).
