eye candy of the day: Fantastic Man

Indeed, David Beckham is. He covers the 13th edition of Fantastic Man. Those glasses and that distinguished 60s look really get me. ♥

Paul Smith RTW Fall 2011

When I first saw this collection the Marilyn Monroe quote came to mind:

"I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."

I love the amount of layers piled on with the use of various textures, mixed in with trousers, feminine lines and the playful use of colour. Plus its slightly geek chic. Putting an outfit together like this is pure style. ♥

UO x J Press

Wanna steal Chuck Bass' style from Gossip Girl? This one is for the boys or for the girls who want their boys to dress like Chuck Bass. Urban Outfitters is teaming up with J Press, which Ed Westwick aka Chuck Bass wears all the time on the show. Prices range from $28 to $148. Usually J Press clothing goes for around $500! So consider this a STEAL! <3

because everyone should know this boy

F*ck Yeah Menswear, the blog, takes pictures and mocks them with one liners. This is such a cute picture and he's amazing from head to toe. I'm in love! I love seeing well dressed kids. Hopefully it stays that when when he grows up!<3

pour l'homme

A bag store for you boys!! Coach has rescued you from looking at women's bags by opening a men's only store today!! It will be in New York ofcourse at 370 Bleecker Street, along with Tommy, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs. Definitely a boy's club! <3

chop chop

hmm.. I'm cutting my hair tomorrow, but I'm not sure how I want it. It has taken me such a long time to actually grow it out from my short hair. I think I will leave it long but something different as I'm kind of opposed to the typical. I simply can't wait for tomorrow to be done with. Well after 10.30am anyways. I have my last exam for the semester, head downtown, get my hair did and start packing my bags for the big apple! fabulous!

As for an update on the weekend. The boy took me on a fabulous date for an amazing meal and a night under the stars at the planetarium to watch the lazer show. It was marvelous. To top it all off, he got me my favourite flowers!!<3

the olympic lifestyle

So I've been working the Olympics and it has been crazier as in me being more tired than I have been in my entire life! The madness started on February 11th. It was media day that day, and the official opening was the following day. It's been so busy with people asking the same questions and standing for so many hours. On top of that, Friday and Saturday I had to work at Circa Lounge so I had 6 hours of sleep in total for Friday and Saturday night! It was crazy. Saturday I ended up running into Australian boy and he got back together with his ex and he's moving to Toronto for her! What a shocker.

Sunday ended up being Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and of course more Olympic madness. I worked in the morning and then the boyfriend came to pick me up. We ended up enjoying the Olympic festivities and went to dinner. He got me Steve Aoki tickets this Wednesday and the heart shaped umbrella I featured on my blog! I'm in love with it and I am ever so stoked! It was all in all a good Valentine's day and made me not hate the day so much! I was exhausted and ended up falling asleep in the ride home. Oops!

Today I was supposed to work til 11.00 pm, but Alexisonfire was performing and people were all pushing so they ended up having to cancel the show and there was a riot so they ended up shutting down the whole area! That means I got to go home early AND I don't have to work tomorrow! Yay for Steve Aoki!!!

Also, everyday I've been going to the same Starbucks and this Australian barista and I always talk and he knows my drink and all! Love it!! <3

unpredictable boy update

So do you remember Australian guy? From long long ago that I used to blog about? The one who left me for Australia? Well thanks to facebook, I was informed that he is back with his ex which he used to be so frustrated with and all. Maybe cuz he still liked her all along, but I would have never guessed that they would get back together. And I definitely didn't think he was the type of guy to display it on facebook for the world to see.

It's weird. I don't care until they are gone for real, even though I do have a boyfriend. Who knew I'd still have boy drama without being single. It's the fact that they were always there and all of a sudden they're gone! I guess old habits do died hard in this case anyways.

Anyhow, on a different note but on the same subject, the one who has always like me... I think it's 7 years now has been messaging me every Saturday for the past 2 weeks. You wouldn't believe what. He started messaging me again about how he wishes he tried with me and how he regrets he didn't and how he has such horrid timing and all that. Then the next week he was saying all this stuff about how horny he was for me. Oh yeah, keep in mind he has a girltoy at the moment who he said he would never be her boyfriend. Oy. Guys are straight retarded. Hate them but can't live without them! <3

i think it's because he wants to be on my blog..

So the adventures in boyland continue. Surprisingly. Just when you think everything is good and settled, Australia man comes home. He wasn't supposed to come home til October, but he has. When I was up in Whistler. Anyhow, I guess he's using the same sim card because he decided to text me tonight. It was really weird because I was kind of wondering if he would contact me in other means besides facebook. And he did. It's weird because we hung out till the day he left and then he just left and would randomly message and text me.

He wanted to meet up tonight but I'm really not feeling it, and then he asked to see me tomorrow. So he seems pretty eager, saying that he'll be at home and for me to just let him know. Persistent. Every text was like what are you doing? Wanna do something? lalala. Oyy. Refer to Alienated by Keri Hilson. <3

ice cream

I never knew ice cream could get so interesting. I went out with the guy who has liked me for a five years to ice cream. We haven't talked in a while and it was more of a friendly catch up. I learnt about the inside info of all that high school crowd and about his latest dating life. It was weird when we talked about our past. It felt like we were on a tv show like Laguna Beach of something. You know like Lauren Conrad reuniting with Stephen Coletti or something. Oy. It was kind of weird but felt friendly which is good right!? <3

a day of randomness

Last night I was promoting, mingling and just doing my job. I met a few people and the night was pretty good overall. Before going out I went out to the beach. Right when we got to the beach, the sky started clouding over. Luckily it was so hot out. The type of humidity you just want to strip down in and jump in a bucket of ice. We brought my friend's dog and they went swimming. This guy, and his hook ended up getting stuck in Roxy (the dog's) mouth! It was disaster that we had to head back shortly. Also when I was out last night.. I ended up getting movie passes to Funny People! I'm pretty stoked. It's on Wednesday. I'm thinking of going to that and then heading to the fireworks!

Wait, I'm not done. So last night, I got home earlier than usual. I went to check my facebook and then bam! Staring me right in the face was a message from Australia man. *sigh* It's not that I don't like hearing from him, but he's a complicated one. I don't know. He always checks in on me at the right times.. but yet so wrong. And reminds me of the past. Oy. <3

i've got my answer...

Remember how I was unsure about how Australia man was coming back this summer and what I was going to do? Well last night I talked to him. He said that he would probably only come back in October if he has enough money, and then he would take off again and go somewhere else. He said the only reason that he's really coming back is to see a handful of people cuz he really misses them. I was like ohh thanks.. he's like I never said one of them wasn't you. Ugh. Like he's so frustrating! Like what do you want. It's just that we left without a real end to things, but I'm not just gonna wait around. I guess it's just always going to be in the back of my head. But right now we're on different paths and pages. I'm so happy right now, but I guess it's just the fact that something can be gone in the blink of an eye. <3

boy minus the minus the friend?!

I didn't know if I wanted to blog about this or not but since you all have been following me, you would have missed a chunk of my life. So yesterday I finished an exam. Well really part I of an exam. I ended up studying for a bit after that and then me and the boy minus the friend went to run an errand and then we went out for dinner. Which by the way, if you go to Cactus Club, get the Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl on brown rice. It is so effing delicious!

Anyhow, after we went out for a walk and just talked. It was pretty cute I guess. I ended up driving him home and we sat and talked in the car for a while. A while turned to a few hours. It's hard to keep track of time! I even told him about how I felt about the guy that went away to Australia and how we didn't really end things. So it was a roller coaster of a conversation. He's pretty calm and doesn't judge so I just told him cuz it's fair that he knows as Australia guy is coming back in July.

So after all that he's like I don't know why you aren't my girlfriend anyways, like we act like we're together but we're not. In my head I'm thinking uh oh.. he's going to ask me he's going to ask me! So being me I distracted him with a kiss. And he knows how I do that. I needed it to stall time just to think! And then he's like baby? and I kept giving him a peck after every time he said baby. This probably went on for about 10 minutes? We just started to laugh. And then he's like about next week.. and in my head I'm thinking phew! So I'm like what about next week?! and I was still scared he was going to ask me!! So I kept saying what about next week!? It was so funny we just burst out into laughter.

Then he did a whole speech on how much he cares about me and all that.. and at the end of it he popped the question. Which my head then nodded to. WHAT?! my head nodded!? He was so excited and it was so cute to see him like that. So I guess I'm off the market and he's the boy minus the minus the friend. <3

hand in hand

Today I went to the boy minus the friend's house. We then headed to the library to study, then went to grab a bite. Of course we end up picking the Milestone's to go to where that guy who has liked me for 5 years' ex girlfriend's work. The weird thing is that she was always really nice to me when she was with him, but she was kinda being blah to me. P.S. She was serving us. The thing is she knows the boy minus the friend and was super friendly to him. So anyways, I feel bad. Why I feel bad is because I'm not doing anything, but he likes me! I know it's not my fault, but I don't know, I just feel bad! haha So after the looong lunch, we headed to my work. He studied in the back as I did my thanng. It was just a cute day together. We spent 11 hours together! <3

what a day

Today seemed to be crazy! I finished my important client meeting for my directed studies course. It was so exciting. That means all I have to do is concentrate on my exams and I'm going to be done done done as of next Wednesday! Brace yourself, I'm gonna be ready to party?! Who the eff is down?!

Also, Today was game 6 for the Canucks against the Blackhawks. It was a crazy intense game! It was seriously soo crazy and if you didn't watch, you definitely missed out. We lost which means we're out of the playoffs, but I'm really proud of the Canucks for fighting for it. They really did come a long way.

Anyhow, during the playoffs, one of my guy friends always texts me about it. The thing is that he's liked me for like 5 years, things have just been really up and down, hot and cold and just have not worlked out at all. And we've always missed each other in terms of being single. Seriously. It's just never worked out. Ever. And as for me, I always stick with whatever happens happens for a reason. Because I just think that whatever will happen will just be. And straight up, it just hasn't.

So anyways, let's get to the goods. He started messaging me and was basically like k so if the Canucks lose then you kill me, but if Canucks win you make out with me. I'm like umm... I only gamble in the casino. And he's like oh I see how it is. The thing is he knows that I'm pretty much with someone and he's still trying. The weird part is that his last gf is the boy minus the friend's friend. Small effed up world right? I even reminded him about the boy minus the friend. He doesn't care. He wants to go on a date and surprise me when I'm done school and everything. Ugh.

Anyways, he continued with going on about how he could definitely see us having a future and that we just are meant to be for each other. I told him how it was and just about how it's never worked out in the past and that says a lot. I don't know everything's pretty weird right now. He even talked about how we'd have hot kids. I don't even want children! Ugh. I'm so flustered right now. What a day. <3

life or something like it

I was creeping on the boy minus the friend's facebook page and saw a post from one of his good girl friend's. It says, "buddy, long time eh? busy with new ♥ life or wut!" Is it really weird that this bothers me?!

Let me explain.First off, I have lots of guy friends so really, I don't care about him having a bunch of girl friends. But anyhow for me, I am the kind of girl that hates it when girls ditch out their friends constantly when they are in a relationship. Like, why do people ditch their friends for one person?! I just have never understood that.

From that message, I totally felt like I was keeping him from his friends. I don't think I am because I don't even really see him on weekends! I think we're just busy with our lives, especially school. But I guess summer will tell. It's funny how writing out your situation helps you get to solutions/conclusions. I conclude that I am not! He's just too busy just like me! <3

technically i'm living in yesterday as it's past 12am

Haha, I couldn't think of a title so here I am! I got home not too long ago. Went for coffee with my boy minus the friend and watched the hockey game! How sick was Canucks win today against St. Louis! It was tough as it was 2-2 and ended up in overtime! Then bam!! with a few more seconds to go Burrows scored the goal! So sick. I thought we'd definitely go into a second overtime! Everyone was honking on the streets and it was such a wild party.

I haven't hung out with my boy minus the friend in a while like just us two hanging out so it was nice to get away from the school atmosphere and just spend time with one another. I like that. Ah dumb school. Speaking of school, I'm crossing my fingers that I will get into the BBA program! Please cross your fingers with me! Hehe

I'm also soo not excited for work tomorrow! Well technically today. Blah. I'm so exhausted and my things to do list just increases by the minute! I swear! Oooh and I'm also attending this bootcamp at my school. It's really good exercise and I find myself sore after every class! Yesterday he made us run four laps and I nearly died as I have asthma. I turned all shaky and my lungs were kiling me!! It was horrid. And on top of it all my inhaler expired and I didn't even realize it! Anyways all is well now! Wahooo. <3

i gotta shake it with you, you gotta shake it with me

Oy! Hungover much today? Yeah I think so. My ears are ringing from the blaring music, my eyes are tired, and I simply feel like death? Wahoo! Definition of hungover!? Last night was my event. I ended up wearing a lace black and cream corsetish top with dark dark blue skinny Rocks. I also wore my pink bow pumps which made my outfit.

We opened the doors at about 10.30, and there was a huge line up outside! It was wild. I just got smashed, along with everyone else! So out of the four guys that were supposed to come, three actually came. And one knew about the boy minus the friend so that eliminates two! There were lots of boys last night who would try and just grab you to talk or dance with them. One of them went up to my friend and I started to dance with her and I accidently elbowed him in the face. Haha that's what you get ya creeper! Overall, it was a pretty good night. Of course my guests get too hammered and get thrown out, but you know how it is! Perhaps round 2 tonight!? <3

uh-oh have i gotten myself into a rut!?

You know how I'm promoting that club event for Friday? Well it's difficult cuz everyone's having their exams at the moment! Anyhow, 4 boys who have a thing for me are coming! Well I don't know if they all do anymore but they have and sometimes they imply it. Ugh.

• Boy #1: Boy minus the friend. I hang out with him the most and we're pretty much dating.
• Boy #2: A guy who's we had this constant love/hate messed up relationship on and off forever since high school. We haven't talked in a long long time but just recently he started contacting me again.
• Boy #3: One of my good guy friends. Ugh. Love him to death and he just totally gets me but lately things have been more complicated.
• Boy #4: A guy from school who I just found out likes me after breaking up with his long term gf. Eeks.

I smell a gong show coming on for tomorrow! <3

sometimes.. we just need to learn to shut up

For me, I'm that kind of girl who just says what's on her mind. Well, I was on the phone the other night with the boy minus the friend and I mentioned about his personality of how he was different in front of his friends and how it's like I don't know him sometimes. That was just the feeling I was getting! That's all! I just wanted to tell him. We talked about it for a long time and then a long time became... TOO long of a time! It was dragged out to the point of when he was like ohh I'll change yada yada. But that's exactly what I did not want!! It was so annoying and I just became super pissed and flipped out because I wasn't asking for him to change! I just wanted him to know and that's it! He just dragged it on for too long I felt, to the point of death. He just killed it. I said I needed to go think to myself cuz he was hurting my head and I left. And this is when I said I won't mention anything next time since he reads too much into it. He was choked but whatever.

We planned to meet the next morning and I kept my word. I was still whatever but I was better. I just didn't care. I mean we only live for so long right? So it took a bit of adjusting for us to get back to normal but we went for coffee and we went to go find him a pair of glasses. It actually turned out to be so fun. We tried on pretty much the entire store of glasses and pulled off some sophisticated to crazy nerdy looks. It was fun! Then we went to the pet store and played with the dogs! I fell in love with a baby pomeranian. It was sooo cute! But everythings all good! Yay. <3
