polishedpeach asked: hey! sorry to bug you, but are your chelsea boots the Bravo Browns ones?
Hey, not even! :-) Those would be the ones! If you’re planning to purchase them online, just know that they run big. I’m a perfect 6 and I bought them in a 5 (with toe room to spare), so just be sure to order a size down! Have an awesome day!
soundofanewday asked: I, as well, love American Beauty! It truly sends out a message. There is so much beauty in the world that we are to blind to apprehend!
Hey, I totally agree! That and the whole “never underestimate the power of denial” message really knocked me off my feet. Thank you so much for your comment! :-)
Anonymous asked: do you have an instagram?
I do! My username is “tinadang”. What’s yours? :-)
Anonymous asked: i have a 13" cambridge satchel in brown that i can't return (past 2 weeks..). are you/know anyone interested ?!
Hey, I already own an 11” one, so I think I’m OK for now. I’ll ask around and get back to you if I find someone interested! Thanks for asking. :-)
If anyone is interested, message me and I’ll be more than happy to redirect!
Anonymous asked: where'd you purchase the TF glasses? they look loveeely
Hey, thank you! I bought them at an opticians in the KW region (Eyeview Optical in Kitchener), but you can buy frames only online at Shopbop and they ship worldwide! Have a great day! :-)
Anonymous asked: you are inspirational! mwah!
Awe, thank you so much! You seriously just made my day! So are you, because now I’m inspired to pay it forward! :-) Thanks again, XOXO
Anonymous asked: is there anyway i can check my aritzia gift card balance online?
Hey, unfortunately, you can only check the balance in stores. They’re in the works of an online shop though, so you’ll probably be able to check your card online once that’s developed!
Anonymous asked: Just wondering, where did you get that trisciut recipe?
Hey, Alex made them for me, so I really can’t take credit! He says he got the idea from his dad, who got the idea off of the current Triscuit TV commercial! They’re delicious, right? :-) Thanks for your question!
Hey, a fellow UW student - that’s awesome! Thank you so much! :-) We’re always taking applications, so I’ll send you a message! No worries at all! Have a great day, XO
sovietbitches asked: hey! i'm from waterloo but i've been out of town for school all year. now that i have an ideological qualm with urban outfitters, i'm looking for good places in the city to get high waisted denim (cheap monday, or any other brand you trust -- i'm open!) and figured you'd be the person to ask ♥
Hey, thank you so much! :-) I totally agree with you on the whole Urban Outfitters thing, it’s definitely becoming increasingly difficult to find good clothes there. As for Cheap Mondays, Aritzia carries some (although they may be gone for summer) and Gloss in downtown Kitchener carried them last time I checked!
If you’re looking for coloured denim, the American Apparel Four-Way Stretch High-Waist pants are a pretty good option! They’re in the same price range and they’re really comfortable. If you’re looking for high-waisted denim for DIY projects, I’d recommend checking out thrift stores (e.g. Value Village, Talize, White Tiger Vintage, Unit 5, etc.) - you’ll be able to find a well-loved pair for a lot less than retail price!
Also, the Levi’s Outlet in St. Jacobs might carry some high-waisted jeans! They have a wide selection and they usually run around $30.00-$50.00 per pair. You can always call them first to be sure!
Lastly, if you’re looking for higher-end denim, J Brand makes a really great pair of high-rise jeans that are a skinny fit called the “Maria”. They come in a dark wash and you can get them at Aritzia!
I hope this is somewhat of use to you - I rarely wear denim, so it’s definitely not my forte! I wish I could be of more help! Good luck with your search! :-) XO
kimocean asked: which marc jacobs bags/wallets do you have? they all look so cute! cheers, you're fab
Hey, thanks so much! The ones I have are listed here with reference links + a “Classic Q” Key Pouch in black with gold hardware that I purchased a little while ago.
Haha, you’re the fabulous one! :-) Thanks for your question, XO
Anonymous asked: hey :) so i'm planning on applying to aritzia soon & if it's no trouble at all, i just wanted to know what type of questions they asked you.. i get so nervous during interviews, any help would be great :(
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Someone asked the same question here! Also, they’ll be asking for your availability, so be sure to have that ready. Just remember to keep calm and breathe - it’s just an interview! :-) Best of luck!

It’s @tinadang!
Anonymous asked: What do you say when people ask you what type of music do you like? Judging by what you post I would say I have the same taste in music but when people ask me that I never know how to answer without a 20 minute explanation.
Hey, this is a bit of a tough one. If someone asks me, I usually tell them my music taste is all over the place and it continuously changes (explained here). I’m into a lot of beach/indie/dream pop (like The Drums, Best Coast, Beach House), but I’m also into indie electronic (think Crystal Castles, Neon Indian). As well, I love good old classic rock, but I’m also into American grunge.
I know what you’re saying about not knowing how to give a simple explanation. It’s hard to place a specific label as genres of music are becoming increasingly segregated. So, it’s definitely hard without going into a long-drawn explanation (as I seem to have done, haha). If it helps, just list some artists that you like along with your answer - that’s probably the best way to give the person asking a pretty good idea of what you’re into. Hope this helps!
vanillaskiesxx asked: also random/private, i go to waterloo too haha, small world!
No way! Such a small world, haha! Keep me up to date on your progress, I hope Leslie will be able to help you out! Good luck. XOXO
