randomness

Random photos from my iPhone while I'm out and about:

Sparkle ankle boots! So pretty!

See by Chloe grey leather lace-up booties that is on my wish list. 

Dinner! Just so we're clear: I didn't make this, my mum dropped off some food for me.

The bunnies that come visit and hang out in the front lawn of my building. So adorable :)

Pan-fried dumplings in broth... also from my mum.

owl shopping

A new home decor shop has opened up on South Granville, West Elm, and since I had to pick up my chrome hoot owl from Urban Barn, I decided to drop by the store along the way. 

Donated some change to some cute firefighters and got this sticker. 

Chinese terracotta warriors are located all over the city and painted in different colours and patterns. I really like the royal blue colour on this figurine. 

Pottery barn kids has the Wild Thing decor! If I was a kid, I would be ALL. OVER. THIS. SHIT. 

Restoration Hardware has the most beautiful chandeliers. Now, if only I had a sugar daddy/inheritance/won the lottery, I would totally buy it. 

I think I found a new favourite store to shop for home decor stuff! They have the cutest owl ceramics and really great affordable stuff. I see myself coming back very often, especially during their sales.

I picked up 2 white ceramic mugs at West Elm. They're SO CU-UTE!

The chrome hoot owl that I picked up from Urban Barn that's sitting pretty in my living room. 

jumping on the red (band) wagon

Nothing like catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in years over a nice meal. My co-worker was the one the who suggested the Red Wagon Cafe, located on East Hastings. This little gem of a cafe is serving up delicious stick-to-your-ribs comfort food with a twist. I ordered the pulled pork pancakes (yay for having breakfast for dinner!) which also comes with an optional side of 2 eggs, and my dining buddies ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the croque monsieur.

Pulled pork pancakes: three buttermilk pancakes layered with pulled pork and served with Jack Daniels maple syrup. 

Look at how fluffy and airy the buttermilk pancakes in contrast with the sweet BBQ pulled pork crammed in between the layers... SO GOOD.

Pulled pork sandwich on a Portegeuse bun and served with a side of fries. This is a messy sandwich to eat, so make sure to have plenty of extra napkins

The blurry picture of a gooey croque monsieur: grilled ham and cheese sandwich with bechamel served with fries or salad (my co-worker ordered the salad with her meal) . Perfectly gooey and creamy with a nice outer crunch.

Doodles that previous customers have done on their placemats. My favourite is the octopus in the red wagon. 

I would totally come here again, if only for the pulled pork pancakes, but I'd also try some of the other items on the menu (pulled tofu sandwich, anyone?). I've heard that it gets super busy on Sunday mornings, with the line snaking out the door, but it's totally worth the wait.

crazy cat post

Since I'm not allowed to have animals in my building (well... you are allowed a goldfish and 2 small birds, but you can't cuddle with them!), I've taken it upon myself to "adopt" my friend's cats. I spend quite a fair bit of time kissing, petting and playing with them and speaking to them in that baby voice that you don't realize you're doing until you hear yourself. The great advantage of "adopting" my friend's pets is that I get to do all the fun stuff, but the minute they get sick or miss the litter box, I just let them deal with the  mess!

Sir Sputnik Hubble may look like he's been in the catnip, but he was just being curious. 

This is Trotski. I might have woken him up from a cat nap.

Sputnik snuggling with his favourite blankie. 

Snarf Snarf found a bigger box. 

Sputnik looking dashing with his moustache. 

Kinski! This is my friend's parents' cat. She's pretty. And she knows it. 

Sputnik: "It's been a long day of napping. So tired. Might need another nap soon... "

owl rightie, then!

This is probably the cutest thing that you will see today: Adorable!

Oh, and if that wasn't cute enough...


Sidenote: What the hell is this - Gangnam style?!
