What I Wore: Instagram 01.24.19

I’ve received an overwhelming number of requests for the sweater I wore in my blog and Instagram posts for Etsy…

My sweater is the “Dream Girl” top by Free People and it sells HERE.
PS—I sized up in this for an oversized, plunge fit.

Thanks for stopping by!

“I’m nothing if not a tangled, colorful ball of contradictions.” —Glennon Doyle Melton 🙃 Give me a 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you feel me...
Nothing takes you to another time quite like the #opera. 🌙 Thank you @vancouveropera for transporting me to 1920s Paris with one of my all-time favorite costumes. 🥰 #bohemevo #musetta // Gearing up for tonight, performance #4 out of 5! Shout out to my sister @andreajoynt for literally RUNNING to my dressing room between acts to snap this 🙈 #anythingfortheshot 📸
I haven’t seen my hubby in nearly a month (he finally comes to Vancouver tomorrow!!) so here’s a #tbt to when we shot for @esteelauder x @stylemepretty. Posing for photos isn’t @machinelevine’s favorite thing in the world (he’s a good sport but he tends to tire quickly 😂) so I think this album (and the hours spent shooting it) accurately represents what a sweet Valentine he is. (Don’t worry, he was rewarded with food—last pic is proof) Happy #ValentinesDay (and #GalentinesDay), friends! ❤️

Truth time: I don’t do many subscriptions (In fact, this is the first post I’ve ever done about one!). There are a gazillion subscription boxes out there right now but I don’t see the point if the products aren’t tailored to YOUR skin and hair. I’ve been using @birchbox lately and truly love it—you’re sent five samples every month that are really well curated and range from niche to luxe. Most importantly, they’re based on the skincare and haircare concerns YOU fill out in YOUR profile. It’s become my new favorite way to discover my next Holy Grail product that I never would have known about. #godsend Check out my Stories for a link and promo code 😘#birchbox #ad
Not quite a tourist, not quite a local. ✨ In #Vancouver I’ve been playing a game called “Spot The Canada Goose Coats”. My daily record is 21. 🤯 #easilyentertained // 📸: my sister @andreajoynt 👯‍♀️
This weekend we said goodbye to my mom’s mom, our Po-Po (Grandma in Mandarin). She was a nurturing grandmother who would do anything for us, and in a way, long before we were even born, she did.
I’m often asked where my mom’s from. Though she’s from Taiwan, her heritage is Chinese. Po-Po was a war bride; our Gong-Gong (Grandpa) served in the Chinese military. When Mao won the civil war in 1949, Po-Po had to flee certain death in China, heading to Taiwan with their two young sons. The China borders were closed and she was cut off from everything she knew. Gong-Gong JUST made the last line of flights out, joining her in Taiwan, where they’d start a new life and eventually have my mother.
•
Some interesting facts...
1️⃣ Her marriage to Gong-Gong was arranged but they had a great love and partnership for 54 years. She was buried next to him at the very site they’d chosen together.
2️⃣ When my mother moved to Toronto for her masters degree, she was pickpocketed during her transfer. But Po-Po was clever—she’d sewn $300 cash into my mom’s coat, which would be all my mom had when she set foot in Canada.
3️⃣ At a time when interracial relationships were far less socially acceptable, Po-Po valued my mom’s happiness and embraced my dad into the family. She was ahead of her time.
4️⃣ Although we couldn’t really speak the same language, she showed her love for us in many non-verbal ways. She’d never let me leave a visit without a “red packet”. She showed her love through food, often spending the entire day in the kitchen so we could feast on her AMAZING Chinese cooking. (Thanks to her, I do know “I’m full” in Mandarin.) She knew I loved kiwis and would always stock the house with them. I’ll never forget how mesmerizing it was to watch her delicately peel kiwis for me.
5️⃣ On my last visit, my mom wasn’t there to serve as translator. I was still with my ex, a Brit who’d lived in China and spoke Mandarin. Via Skype, I had him tell her how much I loved her. I didn’t know that would be the last time I’d see her. I’ll forever be grateful to him and am so glad I didn’t let that opportunity pass me by.

Dzaijian, Po-Po. Wo ai ni. 🖤
PS—Tell your grandparents you love them today.
Pretty much my Vancouver experience so far. 💕🍣 Also posting to make @machinelevine jealous. We had our first taste of #vancouversushi a few years back and it totally ruined NYC sushi for us. 😭 #stockingup // 📸: my sister and tour guide @andreajoynt

The only love that can give @machinelevine a run for his money. Luckily he’d never make me choose... in fact, he stood patiently in the cold while I took a million photos of this sunset. 😂📸🌆 #polyamory #husbandgoals // I’ll miss you, NYC. Off to call #Vancouver home for 5 weeks! #operasingerlife
 
Thank you!
