Holidays

Been hit with the festivities and time has become so precious (that and the fact that there is so much to study for before and during the holidays). The time of year where it is impossible to find a reservation at decent restaurant, everyone wants to see each other before the new year, and Christmas parties take up every bar in town from 1pm onwards. My Christmas continues onto Toronto on Friday where I'll be until just after the new year. Lots of things to document this holiday season, so exciting!

These photos were taken waaay back during the American Thanksgiving weekend. Dinner was held, as it is every year, at a Canadian friends place because no one can seem to get their act together for the Canadian one.

My motto this season: effortless effort.

Mike Milbury charged with assaulting boy at son’s game

As a Boston Bruins defenceman, he famously pulled off a spectator’s shoe and slapped him with it.Now a hockey dad and fiery Hockey Night in Canada commentator, Mike Milbury is accused of grabbing, shaking and threatening a 12-year-old player after a peewee game in the Massachusetts town of Brookline last week.Milbury, 59, a former NHL player, coach and executive, faces charges of assault and battery on a child, threats to commit a crime and disorderly conduct, Brookline police said Friday.“Mike Milbury denies any allegations that there was an assault of any kind,” lawyer Daniel Rabinovitz said in a statement.

“He simply intervened in an altercation between his son and an opposing player.“No one was struck, no one was injured, and no one was threatened.”CBC Sports and NBC Sports have both announced that Milbury will not appear on their networks while he addresses the allegations.“CBC Sports spoke with Mike late this afternoon,” said spokesman Chuck Thompson.“After a good discussion we both decided that he won’t be part of Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts while he focuses on his personal situation,” Thompson said.The incident took place on Dec. 9 at the Jack Kirrane Ice Skating Rink, where the Boch Blazers faced off against the Boston Jr. Blackhawks in an outdoor exhibition match known as the Winter Classic.

Aritiza

Photos were taken in Italy when Mass and I went back to tell his family the good news about our engagement. I bought this coat in NY at..Aritzia! Funny because I have spent years trying not to buy Aritzia clothing because they are on each and every small Asian girl in Canada but when I saw this Wilfred coat, my love affair started. It's so male domineering yet slimming enough to make someone as short as me, look tall.

Talking about this coat makes me feel much happier since I completely bombed my interview and advising exam! Praying to the competency Gods.

new favourites

I bought these online at Saks (because they are much cheaper in the US than in the UK) and had them shipped to my gf's parents place where she brought them back to London for me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep them because they are pretty skinny at the top making my large legs (I attribute my big legs to ballet...16 years of ballet will do that to you) look larger.

Should've never doubted my Alexander Wang...he knows how to make a good boot, great.

Wore them out last night to a 30th birthday and some drinks at the Electric. They felt good all the way home. So good that I think I'm going to wear them again now to brunch.

Have a good Sunday!

Birthday / Engagement Weekend Part II

Tartufo loves Tartufo!


The morning after! This blog has slowly turned from a 'fashion' blog to a 'whatever is going on in Lisa's life' blog. I promise not to turn it into a wedding blog!

Tartufo came along with us to Jurassic coast where we ate the most amazing UK lobster ever. I got to finally sport my new piece of jewelry in the hotel restaurant as well, where everyone clearly knew exactly what had happened last night. Thank goodness for Mass I said Yes :P

I think this birthday weekend will go down as the best one yet. Hopefully we can have our wedding on Mass' birthday to balance it out :)

Stylish Rebellion

 Hallo! :) Wybaczcie mi proszę tę przerwę w postach. Niestety czas to szkodnik, który skąpi siebie i się nie rozciąga, przez co brak mi go na regularne prowadzenie bloga. Robię to z ogromną przyjemnością i to główny cel dla jakiego go prowadzę. Nie uważam się za blogera. Jestem projektantem mody i głębokie zamiłowanie do mody spowodowało, że chciałem spróbować w blogowaniu o tym,  co jest moją pasją.
Stylizowanie to moja wariacja i sposób wyrażania siebie. Wciąż poszukuję swojego stylu. Tak wiele rzeczy mi się podoba, że ciężko mi się czasem zdecydować ;)
Raz jestem zbuntowany i ubieram wąskie spodnie z rozciągniętą koszulką, innym razem grzeczny w koszuli i prostych spodniach :)
W dzisiejszym poście zbuntowane 'wydanie' mnie. Mam na sobie bardzo wąskie spodnie, wyciągnięty tank z rysunkiem popularnej rysowniczki Laury Lain, która współpracuje m.in ze StyleSightem- globalnym biurem prognozującym trendy. Koszulka pochodzi z kolekcji dla H&Mu. Do tego skórkowa kurtka i skórzane buty, które podkreślają 'rebellianowy' klimat stylizacji.
Zdjęcia pochodzą z planu filmowego( a raczej backstagu), w którym miałem zaszczyt zagrać jedną z ról. O tym w niedalekiej przyszłości jeszcze napiszę :)

stylizacja:

Moto Jacket: Reserved

Tank: H&M Lmtd.

Skinny Jeans: H&M

Lace up Shoes- Vagabond

Foxy Hanging: zajaczkowski.design

Belt: Replay

Tym niepokornym akcentem pozdrawiam Wszystkich zaglądających na bloga :)

XOXO- Bollo

Birthday Weekend Part I

If we're friends on Facebook you will have known by now that Mass and I are engaged :) I waited almost two weeks to publicly announce the news so I could let it absorb a little.

Although it still sounds funny (but oh so good) to call him my fiancé, I am definitely getting used to the new change in my life.

The proposal happened at some point during my birthday weekend away in Dorset. The above photos were taken, unknowingly, on my last night as a girlfriend. Won't go into too many details here, but the night before was lovely :)
