I was very fortunate to be a part of the Kit and Compact Magazine, Toronto-based publication which is freely distributed in newspapers bi-weekly as well as monthly magazine. After a lengthy exchange of emails and conference call, I was put in duty of covering all the cool things in Vancouver, from local designers to how I would spend my ideal day in the city.
For this holiday issue, I was given a task to describe my dream date in Vancouver. Of course, I had to include my favourite coffee shop, as well as the best local micro-brewery and newly opened Vietnamese restaurant.
10:30am Breakfast and Coffee at Le Marché St. George: My dream day would start off of having a cup of latte with almond croissant on a vintage silver plate at Le Marché St. George (4393 St. George St.), which is my favourite cafe in the world.
Luckily, I also had a chance to pay a visit to the Kit Compact Magazine's office while I was in Toronto, where I met the loveliest Editor-in-Chief, Laura deCarufel, as well as all the editors who were very sweet and welcoming. The coolest thing about the visit was that I'd got to see a glimpse of this page "Local Hero" in the works, which was from a photo shoot I did with Kenzo for H&M collection taken by a talented fashion photographer from Vancouver, Benjamin Kwan.

I'd like to thank everyone at the Kit Compact Magazine for giving me these awesome opportunities to contribute to the publication and offering me a chance to work with such an amazing team. It was great to be a part of its publication's expansion phase as representing my favourite city on earth. I am looking forward to more opportunities in the future!
