Walt Street Fashion Show

I am so sorry for not blogging for such a long time. So I just want to say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Chinese New Year, Happy Valentine's Day to you all at once! I have been super busy with school, work, and stalking my friends on Facebook.

Recently, one of my friends who attend the Arts Institute of Vancouver shared this event on her Facebook wall called "Walt Street Fashion Show". The reason why it caught my attention was that it had a picture of a couple Disney Princesses on the cover of Vogue as their display picture.


The Arts Institute of Vancouver is holding a friendly competition for 10 of their school's most talented designers to create a garment inspired by any personality in pop culture while bringing together Walt Disney's timeless stories. The fashion show is going to held at Vinyl Retro Lounge on March 9th, from 8-10pm.


If you don't already know, I am a huge Disney fan. When I came back from Walt Disney World last year, I made this post on Disney's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique - Disney Princess Makeovers. Every girl wanted to be a princess at one point in their life.

The organizers of The Walt Street Fashion Show have already done casting call on February 12th, but will be holding another one on February 19th (this upcoming Sunday!) from 1-2pm at their Renfrew campus. They're looking for volunteer runway models (no experience required). Their only requirement is that they be approximately 5’7” to 5’11” size 4 to 6.

I am unfortunately 3" too short, but they said to bring my highest heels and come try out anyway! I kinda doubt I'd make it, but I feel like I should try it anyway for that very slim chance of me getting in. It'd be an absolutely amazing experience! Even if I don't make it into the fashion show, I'd really hope to attend and see all the amazing creations!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011

I rushed home after work on Tuesday at 7pm so I wouldn't miss the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Little did I know that I had plenty of time because it started at 10pm in Canada on Global TV. So I was safe and was able to watch the whole show!


VSFS 2011: Miranda Kerr in Fantasy Bra worth $2.5 million
The very first VSFS that I ever watched was last year, and I have to say, those girls on the show are gorgeous.

Last year, there was one outfit that really stood out at me, which was the boxing outfit (if you guys remember that one). That one was probably my favourite last year.


VSFS 2010: Erin Heatherton
This year, I don't really have a favourite. Nothing really specifically stood out at me. Instead, I felt that I equally enjoyed all segments of the show. I particularly enjoyed the PINK segment with all the neon wings! It's so cutesy!


VSFS 2011: Behati Prinsloo

VSFS 2011: Shannon Click

VSFS 2011: Chanel Iman

VSFS 2011: Karlie Kloss
Nonetheless, I really enjoyed watching it!

So I'm really curious to hear what you girls had to say about the show! Let me know!

Review: Diorshow Mascara

It's been so long since I've written anything. I mentioned a long time ago that I got some Dior makeup from my boyfriend's mom. One of the things I got from this goodie package was Diorshow Mascara. I've really tested it in all climates, so now I return with a review for it!

The first thing I'd like to point out is the huge applicator. When I saw Hard Candy's Ginormous mascara, I thought that applicator was big. But nooo.... Diorshow mascara - HUGE! The large applicator looks great, but sometimes it's hard to get into the corners.

The formula for this mascara adds a little bit of volume, but the difference is not as significant as Hard Candy's Ginormous Lash Mascara. I don't see much difference in terms of length, but since it adds a bit of volume, even lashes that appear short with no mascara would automatically lengthen.


Now that I have a nicer camera, it's able to capture more details!
Like I said, I tested this mascara in all climates. In normal Vancouver summer weather, this mascara works fine. It doesn't flake off or anything and doesn't leave prints on the my bottom eyelids like some other mascaras. I would trust that unless you have super oily skin, this mascara would stay put all day. I also tested this mascara in super hot Orlando weather during May, and by noon, because I have moderately oily skin, it does leave some on my bottom lids...

But hey, this isn't Diorshow Mascara waterproof, so maybe the waterproof brand would work better in those types of climates.

Another thing I wanted to note is that a couple times that I have used Diorshow mascara, I noticed that a couple lashes fall out each time I remove it. I don't know why this happens. It could potentially be that the mascara formula dries out my lashes and make them fall out. Unfortunately, this is somewhat of a concern for me as I have asian lashes, which means that I have a lack of them. So I don't use this mascara very often...

In terms of cruelty-free status of Christian Dior makeup, I don't think I know anymore... I thought I have found some credible sources where they said that Christian Dior is cruelty-free, but I have also found credible sources that say that they are not.

According to In Defense of Animals USA, they do say that Dior abides to the old cruelty-free standards but not the new ones. To be on the new list of cruelty free standards, the organization is to guarantee that the products are, in fact, not tested on animals (either by the product manufacturer or any associated contract testing labs). At this moment, Dior is still not on the new list. So I'll leave you with that.
