So This Is The New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year! I'm going for dim sum with some friends today in celebration, I'll be sure to share some photos later this week.

I was oh-so-lucky to go to Squamish and Whistler over the New Year's weekend. I sometimes forget how beautiful British Columbia is: forests, mountains, desert and shores, we've got it all! On New Year's Day my mom and I took a walk around the property of the Hotel. It had been a while since I'd been a forest, it reminded me how much I loved it as a kid. Definitely need to do that more in 2012.

Also going to happen more in 2012: Bettie Page bangs! I've somewhat mastered retro bangs, you can bet I will be rocking this whenever possible. They have the magical ability to make every pair of sunglasses look that much cooler, and add a more "finished" polish to outfits.

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Some of our friends from work took us down to ChinaTown for Chinese New Year Celebrations. I've never been before, but sadly, there wasn't much going on (the parade was the next day...). Silver lining: I got to eat some very delicious Dim Sum. SO GOOD. Also, my new white boots made their first outing. I have to keep from wearing these every single day because they go with everything!
