#instacapture v2

#Instacapture is back!

 B) Body Art by Gian Paolo Barbieri 

C) Model looks by Staz Lindes 

She is the fun, flirty, cute 21 or 22-year-old model that has been sweeping everyone off the grounds on her social media channels. The thing about Staz is that she's not really the highest roller, yet or never, but she's captured the hearts of many in the online journaling industry. 

D) Perception and toning it down

E) PLUM + PINK + PINK

I don't even know what's happening here, except that this should be my look one day this summer.

#instacapture v1

I don't personally spend a lot of time on Instagram (relative to other heavy Instagram users), because I like seeing images with a little more story & visual depth. So I like to actually search up the blogger's blog and catch all the rest of the photo story/editorial or enjoy images online on Tumblr - via a bigger screen, y'know? I'm using my invincible and super aged Galaxy S2 (whaaaat??? They made an S2??? Yes... It was the start of all Samsung Galaxy Saga..... Sigh), and the screen is just too small for quality Instagram sessions. But when I do go on it, I like to capture some posts that I want to come back to. So I think I'm going to start an #Instacapture blog post series where I share with you the captures I took on Instagram...............

The benefits? I guess it's another extension into my brain.
But maybe you can find some cool followers I like.
Or maybe you can pick up some tips on what's -- literally -- trending right now.


1. I made mom buy FROZEN PIZZA just for emergency Rachel munchie times. 
2. Apparently HEDGEHOGS ARE EVIL according to New Zealand & Vice. 

 

3. FASHION TIPS: ONLY WEAR ONE COLOUR HEAD TO TOE (two colours are okay, too, but have to be done via pattern). 

4. Uncomfortable lifestyle supposedly leads to advancement. On a side note, get me a puppy? 

5. This hat will never get old. Nor will Pharrell. (Wiz is included in honour of 420).

6. BLUE BLUE BLUE. If you need more BLUESPIRATION, you can watch the following movies: THE WAY, WAY BACK (drama, comedy) & ONE DAY (romance, bad movie). I guarantee that you will be exposed to abundant amount of "blue" and the next morning will proceed to pick out a "blue" outfit. 

7. Dull & bleak surprises = #EverydayLife #Instadaily #oxymoron

Protect Your Head

And I mean it. These days, I've been wearing my scarves (even my thick fur-lined shawls) around my head. It covers my hair on the days I don't take a morning shower and it keeps my hair wet on the days I do take a morning shower. Nonetheless, I love wearing head stuff. So when I stumbled upon this video via Style Bubble, I went ballistic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait to try this style.

SEWWWW KEWWWWWWWWWTTTTT !!!
Don't judge me if you see me like this on the streets of Vancouver.

holiday moments

Just rethinking over the blissful days with my lovely lady, Sam. The holidays of 2010. Never forget the special memories, but dig deep and bury the worst. Love you all.

In front of The Lotus Hotel after an hour of little dubstep fun.


Sushi at Ajisai Sushi Bar in Kerrisdale. One of my favourite sushi places to go in Vancouver. They got the BESSSTTT NEGITORO ROOOOOLLLLLLLLL. A must order, if you didn't already get my point. Hehe.


A holiday gathering. Quinoa salad + homemade hummus. My mother seriously deserves an award. MMmmmmm. I feel like I ate through all my days during the holiday. The after-effects of these days are tremendously horrible. AIIIYAAAAAA !!



Wearing: mink-lined Keith cape and a new hair style. I don't know if I'll ever do that bun again..



From a quick visit to The Sartorialist. A perfectly popped collar can do man all the good.


We finally go behind the lens and see him and his life. A day walking around with photo-fashion-savvy man, Scott Schumann. Visit The Sartorialist.
