Pretty in Plaid | OOTD

2 Comments »

So when this whole plaid skirt trend came out recently, let me tell you .. I was not having it at all. I actually thought it was the most stupidest thing since elastic waist pants (I used to call them mom pants). I think the reason I hated plaid skirts so much was because I went to a Catholic High School where it was required to wear a uniform, which consisted of a plaid kilt. Words cannot describe how much I hated this kilt, it was a mixture of forest green, navy and mustard yellow .. yeah I know right. So its safe to say that I was never willing to wear plaid bottoms in my life ever again. Which is why when I started seeing these everywhere it was like a nightmare I could not wake up from. Yet somehow, like my hatred for elastic waist pants, I was somehow magically cured. It was when I was at the Brandy Melville Warehouse Sale where I came across these two gems, this red skirt here and a white and black one. I honestly have no idea what came over me, I picked them both up and was like "Oh hey, these are cute I want to try these on." So I tried them on and I loved them, and they were also only $5 each, and that is how it happened.

Since the weather over here is finally warming up (7 months later), I decided to wear one to school! I felt like rocking the red one, I paired it with a black cop top also from Brandy, and a black sweater from Forever 21. To finish off the look, and to make it extra High-School-ish, I threw my hair up in a high pony and I wore a thick red headband (which gave me a huge headache all day, but hey fashion know's not of comfort right?) I paired it with a bunch of gold and black jewellery and that's that! It was definitely a fun change, a total blast from the past and something that I am not used to at all, but hey this year its all about taking some fashion risks! Hope you all had a fab weekend!

Shady Lady | Favourite Spring Sunnies

No Comments »

Why hello there! I have been a little absent this past week, as things have just been crazy with school and work! It is so hard to believe that I only have less then two weeks of school left, which you think I would be more excited about but that just means I need to start a big girl job which is all so scary and exciting at the same. I have still yet to find an internship for the summer, I think I have an interview this week though for a styling position with a magazine which would be absolutely amazing if I got because that's something that I can just totally see myself doing! So fingers crossed!

Just wanted to do a quick post about this spring and summers trends with sunnies! I am absolutely in love with this trend of supper colourful, big, bright, and unique shaped styles. It is definitely a playoff of the 60's sunnies trends, I just love when style makes a comeback! I made a little compilation of my favourite styles, I love the ones that have the details attached to them, like the watermelon and the flower ones! The rounded ones with a thick colourful plastic around it I think are just so much fun and seriously such a perfect accessory. For a while I have only ever owned about 2-3 pairs of sunglasses at a time using them more as a necessity and less as an accessory but this spring I feel like you need a different pair of sunnies for every outfit! You can find these everywhere at the moment for every budget; forever 21 and H&M has some cute cheap ones, Nasty Gal and ASOS for those mid price points and those black floral ones are from Bloomingdales for almost $700! I just feel as though it is a perfect way to add a little bit more colour to your look, as we all know I am deff more of a neutral girl wearing mostly black all the time (hey I have been working on it OK?) And I love adding little bits of colour here and there, whether it's my necklaces or bracelets, my lips or nails that day, purses and clutches and now with some sunnies. And hey it's so much quicker to put on a pair then to do your eye make up! So if your running out the house to just run a couple errands or just going to the beach, skip on the eye shadow and liner and just throw on a pair of some supper chic and colourful sunnies.

Which one is your favourite?

Comfortable but Chic OOTD

No Comments »


Good Morning! Today I am working at my parents spa, I've been helping out just on weekends lately since they have been really busy. I just do reception and making sure everything is kept on top of. I like it here, its pretty laid back and whenever there is a cancellation they book me in for a free-be, happy to help however I can (lol). When I am working here I love to be comfortable but obviously never sloppy. Today I am wearing these treggings (track pant leggings) from Roots. This adorable polka dot crop top is from Brandy Melvillle, I just got it recently at a Brandy Melville Warehouse Sale! It was amazing, I got almost a whole summer wardrobe for $95! I'll do a haul showing all my goodies another day. And this slouchy sweater is from Forever 21. All my bracelets are from Brandy as well, except the yellow one which is from Nasty Gal. Hope you all have a lovely day!

Lip Look for Spring 2014

No Comments »


I was recently cleaning out my makeup collection, which is so something I totally need to do more often because it's crazy the things your find that you forgot you even had, and also to throw some of those dried out masacaras we for some reason always hold on to. Well when I was going through my collection I came across this lipgloss that I got a couple years ago for an event and only ever wore it once. It's a bright pink gloss and well I never wear pink, or lip gloss so that's why it been buried at the bottom and never to be thought of again. I had recently watched a spring makeup tutorial where she used a bright pink like this one and holy moly I loved it on her. So I was curious to play around with my makeup to see if I could make a colour like this work. And I really loved the way it turned out, I'm honestly so sick of matte red I can't even tell you! My Kate Moss 107 has been used and abused and I quite believe I lost it at a concert last weekend and I can honestly say I'm not too heartbroken about it. And I think my lips arnt either, does anyone else find that there lips are ridiculously chapped when your wearing matte lipsticks everyday?! Oh my goodness I've been exfoliating and drenching them in baby lips whenever I'm home cause they are in need of some seriosuly TLC. So needless to say my lips are happy with me for switching things up to a gloss. I love this colour how bright it is and totally perfect for spring. 
I took this picture it different lighting to see how glossy and bright it is. It's more of a sticky gloss which I prefer over the really wet ones, it really stays on all day, and after I ate or had my coffee(s) my lips were still pink but it looks more like a pretty stain. I just loved the way it looked and it's just a great way to brighten up you overall look. This particular lipgloss I have no idea where it is from, usefull I know. There is no brand on it? (lol) But it doesnt really matter, the name of it however is Hot Lips! So I tag you all to try a lip look a little out of your comfort zone! If your unsure how to pull it all together with the rest of your make up look up a tutorial there are hundreds of thousands of them for probably every colour possible! For this pink lip I did a light bronzed eye using bronzer and highliter as my shadow, winged liner, thick lashes and a rosy cheek. I would have taken a picture of my whole FOTD but I took this at the end of my day and well needless to say, I was not picture appropriate, so I hope you enjoyed this LOTD, and let me know if you want me to do more. I found so many colours in my collection that I'm really curious about trying them out, don't ask why I have them. . .

Anyways that's all for tonight.
