Cardigan: H&M. Shirt: BURBERRY. Jeans: RA-RE. Boots: ALDO. Bracelets: URBAN OUTFITTERS.
With the perfect example using the photograph above, I am aware that I tend to have the words ‘STUCK-UP BITCH’ stamped acrossed my forehead when I’m out in public. Unless I have my sunglasses on indoors, felt extra sassy or is just plain hung over from the night before, I seriously don’t mean to repel or intimidate anyone away, especially my blog followers and readers who are (un)fortunate sometimes to catch me out and about.
I give much credit to the many readers who are ballsy enough to approach me to say ‘hello’ and without a second thought that I could possibly throw a Naomi Campbell sized bitch fit at any minute. As for the others who stand around acting coy but still constantly eying my every move and wondering if it really is me or not, please don’t be afraid to come up and say hello. There aren’t many 6 foot Asians with a side shaved head trotting around in knee high boots while sporting an Alexander Wang bag in town, so chances are, it’s most definitely probably ME and I would be delighted to hear from you.
No matter how many times I preach much gratitude to all my loyal readers, I will always be thankful for all the love and support you guys constantly give me which is better than any deliciously delectable meal I could ever be fed. Thank you.

The Starving Stylist’s Spring Necessities
This is not merely a Spring style necessity list for men as it is very much a list of WANTS for the very superficial ME.

Jacket: H&M. Denim Shirt: NUDIE JEANS. Tank: H&M. Pants: PRADA.
Boots: ZARA. Sunglasses: GUCCI.
The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver have finally come to a rest, therefore, so shall my Canadian pride-screaming shirts and sweaters, which will be boxed and put away to NEVER see the light of day again.
The weather is beautifully warming up in the city and that could only mean that the layers of clothes are shedding, which in return means I need to kick my ass into high gear and get into shape before summer rolls around.
With the past two weeks of Olympic partying, gold medal celebrations within the city, decadent over-indulgence and late nights out, I’m starting to look more like the "Stocky Stylist" than a "Starving" one. . . .YIKES!

A Starving Stylist Cardinal Rule #2: Thou shall NOT place a designer handbag on public grounds.It may sound silly to many, but never EVERRRR would I place any of my beloved designer handbags on the FILTH-ridden floor grounds of any public area. Give it to your assistant, BITCH or friend to hold on to when you are in need of both hands but never should you place your Louis, Chanel, Prada or your Birkin on the ground unless you had a loaded gun pointed to your head by a heroin addict of a robber.
When I say designer handbag, I am referring to any major luxury brand name handbag. It is generally European made and NOT mass produced by the millions in a sweat factory in China because if that was the case, by all means toss your purse on the floor and nearer to the trash can, where the quality of it is equivalent to.
My designer handbags are like my babies. I respect and treat them all with utmost care. Each and every single one of them cost more than about 2 months house rent, so why would I ever want to treat something I worked so hard for so poorly? Besides the value, it’s mainly about prestige. Unless you had money coming out of your ass to set on fire just for fun, I would immediately assume a bag was fake if I were to ever catch a person chuck it around as though it was a rag doll.
I’ve busted my ass and skipped meals to be able to afford the things I have, so for me, I take pride in the things I own by treating it with respect and if you agree you should all do so too.
So, how do you treat your bags?

A new handbag for the brand new year.
A new handbag as a minor remedy for inconsolable sentiments that still haunt me till this day.
A new handbag to swagger into work and let others know that there’s a new BITCH in the office and that they’re not here to fuck around.
A new handbag to stash my belongings when I runaway and move to New York to live fabulously.
A new handbag as an indication that I’m perfectly content being on my own and satisfying my own personal needs.
These are ALL my reasons I’ll have to keep telling myself over and over again while I eat nothing but instant noodles from a cup for the next two months in order to afford to pay off this newly bought Louis.

Silver Necklace & Pendant: KRIS VAN ASSCHE.
Being a bitterly-jaded person that I choose to be, I am proud to celebrate Valentines Day. . .SINGLE. Call me pathetic, but I will buy my own bouquet flowers, I will shower myself with gifts, I will enjoy a lavish meal to myself. . . BUT, I’ll wait till after Valentines Day on the 15th to buy myself chocolates since that heart shaped junk will all be on clearance at blowout prices.
So, what are you singles doin' for V-Day?

Scarf: DIESEL BLACK GOLD. Boots: JOHN FLUEVOG. Sunglasses: TOM FORD.
If you have yet to be a follower of mine on Twitter, your probably the last to know that I was fortunate enough to meet, have a cocktail and chat with Dean & Dan from Milan designer label, Dsquared, over the past weekend at a popular local lounge in Vancouver. The dashing and utterly funny design duo is currently in town to celebrate their limited edition fleece-hoodies that are perfect complements for the Winter Olympics, which so happens to kick off this weekend in Vancouver. Click here for more info.
Being a huge fan and devoted fashion die-hard I may be, I sadly didn’t have any photographs taken with the fabulous twins, so don’t even bother asking for them. Besides, I was too busy admiring Dean’s luxurious fur lined, lamb skin leather coat with a beautifully constructed built up collar to even remember. . .or was I too enthralled by my glass of Belvedere? Hmmmm. . .
So, anyone else have stories of their own fashion designer/celebrity encounter?

Giorgio Armani S/S 2010 -- Armani Exchange S/S 2010 // Dolce & Gabbana S/S 2010 -- D&G S/S 2010
One out of 65,476,412 pet peeves of mine is when people have a problem differentiating the difference between a designer’s diffusion line and their signature line. Not a lot people understand this concept, that’s why I’m constantly found with my eyes rolled to the back of my head and ears completely tuned out.
A diffusion line is a comparatively
Signature Line ----> Giorgio Armani ---> $$$$
Diffusion Line -----> Armani Exchange -----> $
Diffusion Line -----> Armani Exchange -----> $
Got it? Because being the label whore driven person that I am, I’m not afraid to call you out and rip you a new one. I’m tired of people parading around and calling their outfits Dolce & Gabbana when really it’s only D&G Jeans. I’m generally not impressed with labels anymore. It really should be about the fit and quality of the merchandise. Those should be the determining factors of whether something looks good on you and not about the label tag that's sewn on the inside of that garment!
So, what is your personal take on designer's diffusion lines?

Lambswool Cowichan Sweater: THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY
Like a true slave of trendy fads, I have finally jumped on the Olympic bandwagon in the city and purchased myself some official 2010 Olympic gear from the Hudson’s Bay Company. I know, my fashion creditably just went down a couple notches on the scale of style but with the 2010 Winter Olympics celebrating in my beautiful home city of Vancouver in less than two weeks, I loyally had to show my pride somehow and I doubt strolling around with my Balenciaga Weekender and oversized sunglasses was going to cut it especially with so many athletes from around the world in town!
Okay sure, my intentions aren’t necessarily in full support of the games as it is to meet attractive foreigners, but hey can you imagine how lumberjack-edgy-fierce I’ll look in this lambswool cowichan sweater paired with some constructed Doc Martens, distressed jeans and a then bundled up with a chunky scarf? I’d make the perfect ski-bunny!

Leather Blazer: ZARA. Shirt & Cardigan Vest: AMERICAN APPAREL. Jeans: DIESEL. Boots: ZARA. Scarf: DIESEL BLACK GOLD. Gloves: H&M. Bag: ALEXANDER WANG.
Hard to tell in the photograph but with so much leather incorporated in this outfit from the fitted blazer to the polished boots down to the gloves and of course the beloved bag, I’m glad I didn’t come off looking like a bourbon drinking, diesel bull dyke with a bike.
I love my leather goods like I love my shopping sales at Barney’s New York and Nordstroms. I don’t have a fetish for leather unless it involves Louis Vuitton classics and Hermes pieces worth more than my home. I just enjoy the thrill of luxury that it brings to material goods. To the suppleness of the skin to the fine fabrication, quality leather goods are definitely worth investing and my Alexander Wang bag pictured here is one of my investments that could voucher for that.

3 fashion bloggers with 3 uniquely different styles in 1 city, waiting to be conquered—Vancouver
Jacket: ZARA. Cardigan: CLUB MONACO. Shirt: McQ by MCQUEEN.
Jeans: RA-RE. Boots: DOC MARTEN. Bow-tie: H&M. Bag: BALENCIAGA.
Vanessa of THE HAUTE PURSUIT
Jacket: ZARA. Tee: VINTAGE. Pants: H&M. Booties: ASHISH for TOPSHOP. Bag: MARC JACOBS.
Lily of BLEED FOR FASHION
Jacket: ALEXANDER WANG. Bustier: KETTLE BLACK. Pants: WILFRED.
Pumps: YVES SAINT LAURENT. Watch: GUCCI. Bag: CHANEL.
If you have yet to meet style bloggers Vanessa or Lily from Vancouver BC, than you obviously have been hiding under a rock that was covered over by your Snuggie blanket.
I really admire these two girls as they are the epitome of fashion innovation and cutting edge style. They take fashion to another level and like me, there isn’t a time in a day when they don’t look good.
So with so much fierceness of three local fashion bloggers in one room and on the contrary to many that assume, no bitchfits, gossiping, hairbrushes or BlackBerry’s were thrown at each other while on set even though it seem as though someone in particular got more frames than the other two. . . . . . I’m just kidding. . .*ahem* bitch. *ahem*
Anyways, much love and thanks to Vanessa for coming up and organizing such a triple threat of an idea for us three to unite. Also, thank you to our wonderful photographer Daniel Fleming, who I’ll have to bribe and persuade away from Vanessa to be my personal photographer one of these days.
Check out my more than amazing girls & their blogs @
