SNEAK PEAK

So yeah. I’ve been lazy. Way more lazy than I’d like to confess. I’ve spent the last two weeks eating/breathing/living the Olympics. I was either planted on my couch watching hockey or downtown with friends. But alas, the Olympic fever has subsided and now it’s time to get my ass into gear. Today I dusted off my tripod and started taking pics for my store. Let me tell yah, this is hard stuff! Like what to photograph, what not to photograph. How to describe the items etc. Hopefully everything will come together as planned and all these clothes will find new homes!

For sale: Wilfred By Aritzia tank top $25USD and Tweed leather collared vintage jacket $45

The store is not open yet, but I thought it’d be nice to show you guys just a sampling of what’s to come…I’ll try to do a few more of these posts to keep you guys posted!

    Tell me about – I’ve got an eBay store and the whole photographing/describing part of the job is much more time consuming than I ever originally thought. I really just prefer to spend my time shopping for the store instead! *lol
    Can’t wait to see more of your stuff.
    :)

  7. Love the nail color too. Looks just like the Chanel in Jade. I will be hitting up drug stores for this one! How many layers did you have to slide on to get the true color? I am wishing one, but it’s probably 2? Excited to see what you have in store soon :)

    Anjuna,
    Ur totally right. I DO look extra bony in these pics. I’m not usually this skeletal, I’ve just been sick for a week and haven’t eaten very much–which is bad bc I have a hard time putting weight on.

    I think it’s important that everyone acknowledges how important it is to be healthy and not push their bodies to limits that it’s not naturally meant to go. Just thought I’d pipe in bc I get too many emails from readers asking how I stay so ’skinny’. Erm, I’m naturally skinny (and hated it for a long time), so in no way do I encourage it. Skinny is over rated and not really worth it if it means not eating, know what I mean?

    Kinda heavy, but felt obliged to say something.

    oh and btw, i feel for you and the olympic bug you had last week. i glued myself in front of the tv for hockey, speedskating and curling! hahaha!

  17. ooh wee. i think i want that black top! but it might be too low cut for me. i can’t wear the way you did unless i want to get some maniac ogling at me here in Manila.

    haha!

    excited for you on your online venture!

    Thanks Vanessa, words will echo and find every single one of your readers. I appreciate you took the time to adress it and clear all doubts.

    I, myself, am petite and I eat in healthy way, but am naturally slim (stupid bone structure). I envy the more curvy girls and well to be really honest, I’d love to have bigger boobs. Lol. Anyway, we should all find a good balance, our body is our temple and should be embraced as it is.

    Congrats on your store! x

    It makes me sad that, no matter what type of picture, someone always going to tell you something about your weight. Today someone wrote a comment to me like “OH GIRL, you really like to take photos of yourself to show us how skinny you are?”. what the heck… I’ve learnd my lesson, no matter how you look, what weight you have, you will never be perfect for everyone. They will always pick on you in some way. PS. You are beautiful in every single way. Hughs.
