There is a reason why most girls will tell you that they own an absurd amount of booties – because they work with everything! There is something so effortlessly fabulous about a pair of ankle boots. They dress up a pair of jeans, add some edge to a pretty dress, and will always make you…
If you’re like me, you’ve totally left your Halloween costume to the last minute because of your ridiculously busy BCIT schedule! Midterms are kinda done and you need to relax before hitting the books, but you are in need of a quick and cheap costume. That’s why I thought it would be a good…
What is ‘Bánh mì’? In Vietnamese, it is a term used to describe all types of bread. During the French colonial period in Vietnam, the baguette was introduced to the Vietnamese diet. Here in the West, however, the bánh mì represents more than just a plain old baguette. It has become synonymous with what many…
Autumn: the season for eating pumpkin-flavoured-everything and cramming for midterms. It’s also the time of year that you get to pull your favourite knit sweaters out of storage and realize how much you have missed them! This beautiful season even turns the sidewalk into a red carpet of leaves for your fall fashion. Chunky, woven…
It’s finally October 19th, and after Canada’s most expensive, and longest (since 1872), election campaign in history, I know I’m definitely ready to vote. By now, I’m sure some information about our opposing political parties, and their stances on current Canadian issues, has reached your ears, and you know who you support. Hopefully that is…
I love wearing black. It’s warm and cold. It‘s timeless and modern. It’s safe and edgy. It’s grungy and chic. Black is a contradiction, but an intentional contradiction. It can be so easy to get lost in an all black outfit. You want to stand out, but a monochromatic look can do just the opposite.…
The Vancouver International Film Festival wrapped up last week after two weeks of showcasing over 375 films from 70 countries. I had a festival program riddled with highlights and stars next to films I wanted to check out, but due to my BCIT student schedule (I’m sure you can relate) I could only manage one.…
Ridley Scott’s newest sci-fi feature The Martian was released last weekend to much anticipation, and it had some big shoes to fill. Matt Damon plays astronaut Mark Whatney, the sixth crewmember of a manned research mission to Mars. During an unexpected storm on the red planet, the crew is forced to abort the mission in…
Monday, October 19th is almost here, and I’m hoping you are all planning to vote this upcoming Federal Election. I mean after all, it is our right to decide who runs our country, and is also something we shouldn’t ever take for granted. Being that we live in Canada, I don’t believe we truly appreciate…
Nothing is more synonymous with autumn than denim. My favourite feeling is slipping on my most loved pair of skinny jeans after a long summer of shorts and sundresses. A good pair of jeans is like home. You feel safe, confident, and like your true self. The thing about jeans is that there are so…
But just because summer officially ended last week doesn’t mean the end of fun Vancouver activities. The weather has gotten colder and the urge to get through homework and studying (ie. cuddle up under a blanket with a hot beverage and Netflix) is pretty strong, but there are still a lot of fun activities around…
I want to issue you a challenge: Watch more movies without having seen the trailer, in a state of pure, blissful ignorance. You’ll love it, I promise. I issue this challenge after noticing a pattern in my moviegoing experiences. Those movies that I’m genuinely excited for -that I watch every trailer, discuss every possibility with…
