Purses Wardrobe Shoes WardrobeThree Pretty Pairs
January 3, 2012 – 7:28 pm
Three pretty pairs of heels that I picked up at the thrift store the other day.*
I’m still searching for business-lady heels and office-transitional shoes that are suitable for the weather lately in Vancouver, BC.. these were the prettiest ones that I could find on the shelves, while still maintaining a no-nonsense and punctual demeanor to my current wardrobe.
And really, because if I have to drop-kick someone, then I know that these blocky heels will hurt a world of pain.

One of these days will find me with a camera trigger in one hand, and a captivating Cindy Sherman mock-photo shoot as a result of her cinematic doll conceptual inheritance.. until then! Here are a few photos of myself from Halloween and a recent Waldorf’ian Tiki birthday feste.
The weather in the little city of Vancouver is quite chilly at night, so these wardrobe remixes are carefully snuggled away underneath layers and layers of cozy scarfs and woolen-insulated coats. I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed by midterms and research papers lately, so having a little excuse to be playfully creative outside of a casual academic wardrobe is always welcome 
One of a series of summer windswept Element Eden dresses purchased a few years ago, and self-altered from a chest sized LG to S. The embroidered jacket is a fashionable piece inherited from my dad’s crazy lifestyle as a hippie in the 70s, and the mermaid seashell necklace, in addition to the african beaded jewelry are from my mom’s jewelry boxes.
These are one of the latest wish~list indulgence purchases lately, PUNK, Gothic & Lolita-esque stylish “WINGS OF FREEDOM” ankle boots that evoke memories of Hermes the Messenger god of Greece.

Gumdrop and Bows
September 4, 2011 – 12:46 pm
In anticipation for the tempestuous and windy rainy days of autumn in Vancouver, I’ve been researching online for weather-ready gumdrop boots: rubber-like material in colorful tones (or patterns), that are easy to slip on-off in between outdoor exercise.
One of my main problems with the availability of rainboots in the cityshops is their knee-high lengths and susceptibility to cracking toe corners in dryer weather. Running between classes, photowalks, or other errands in the rain requires something versatile yet can also be switched with a pair of toe-comfort flats indoors. There is nothing worse than having to run around inside a building for hours in ONLY clunky rainboots!
I ordered these boots from an Korea shoe warehouse online. Initially, I suspected that quality was subpar: alike to local retailers Claire’s or Ardene’s material that are only worn for a season or two. However, once they arrived, it was evident to see that they were perfect for the rainy weather in Vancouver.
The boots are a size 39 (China), which translates to size 8 USA/CAN. However, because of the ‘raised heel insert inside the boots, it was a little difficult to slip my feet in at first. I’m stuffing it with crumpled newspapers, hopefully enlarging the narrow opening and destroy the warehouse & shipping smells.
