My knee is healing up nicely. Dress, H&M Cardi, Zellers Sandals, Payless Sweater Guard, Trove New Glasses! This dress could’ve worked for the Challenge, as well, and Lauren wanted me to wear it, but I had already picked up the colourful number, so no go. I’ve been suffering hair boredom, you know. It’s the in-between length, it’s super fine, it’s awesomely coloured, yes, but it’s limp from the heat. And I hate ponytails. I asked the lad to learn to do a French Braid, and we will, but he got frustrated on the first go, so I had to come … Continue reading Coral Dress & Awesome Hair

Let’s start this Challenge Recap off right: What, pray, has me so terrified/shocked/open-mouthed? THIS GUY. What is that? A Dragon Fly? DO NOT LIKE. It was SO CLOSE to me the entire time, it was NOT COOL. Alright, let’s get down to challenge-business. Every month, Mina gets PeopleStyleWatch magazine. “Every” month, she creates a polyvore set based on the mag, and what we should all be on the lookout for in order to be stunningly beautiful (like we are). This month (last month), it was this: Sunshine and Simplicity by fourdiaries featuring cotton dresses I find polyvore complicated, and confusing, … Continue reading June 2012 4D Challenge

I adore this dress! Dress, Target (The Webster Miami for Target) Pin, Ambassador Plucky, & bracelet, Trove Sandals, F21 These sandals are super cute, but they’re toooo tight on my ankles and toes. Throughout the day my foot kindof moves backward and eventually I’m only half in them. It’s not ideal – cute, though. It was the end of the day and my hair looked sadder, but this is the result of a) curling ironing my hair until it’s curly (also flat ironing some parts for looser waves) and then applying the wella beach waves product. I really don’t like … Continue reading New America Dress, part Deux

Mina’s challenges as well as a general sense of bleh are forcing me to try to wear the things in my closet I don’t love. Dress, H&M Sandals, Impanema by Gisele Slip, the Bay After dinner, we try to take walks along the canal. I tend to be a sleepytype person, though, so while the lad took photographs of a train going by, I took a little nap. I love the water, it’s so calming. Hair inspired by this pin. Mine’s not long enough to fall so gracefully, so it’s a bit messier, but I love how it makes the … Continue reading Red Flowers

My June topbox was a bit late this month, but was worth the wait, I think. Mark. Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain in Frilly Frou-Frou – which is the best product name ever, I feel. The applicator is one of those clicky brushes, like the Nailstix nail polish, you know? It’s alright. The texture of the gloss is somewhat sticky, and the colour is not super pigmented, but I like it okay. Stila Forever Your Curl Mascara – I have too many mascaras, now. I need to start handing them out to folk on the street or something. One … Continue reading June 2012 Topbox

July’s Julep was Classic with a Twist, for me. There’s a lip gloss in this Julep! Nails: Audrey: Soft light pink micro-shimmer Freida: Electric fuschia micro-shimmer Bonus: O, Canada! Lips: Camellia: Soft light pink pastel lip vernis Candy: Atomic fireballs! See all the colours: http://blog.julep.com/meet-the-new-july-colors Continue reading July 2012 Julep

For Canada Day, we went to America in search of a beach. We found it, eventually, but not before I bought two bathing suits at Change (they carry my size now! Bras that fit! Bathing suits with sufficient support! I love you, Change!) and two dresses at Target. The one below, and this one, which I’ve yet to wear. Dress, Target Cardi, F21 Sweater Guard, Trove Watch, bf’s G-Shock Sandals, Ipanema by Gisele You may also notice I banged my legs up pretty good – not only that, I scraped my two big toes. I took a tumble off the … Continue reading New America Dress!

My June Glossy arrived on July 2. 😐 It’s weird that that upsets me so, isn’t it? A little. Wella Professional Ocean Spritz – Beach-Texture hair for me, doesn’t sound like a good thing, but I’d be willing to give this a shot. Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser – I’ve always liked Biore products, when I was a teenager I used their cleanser exclusively, and it was a good time in skin for me. I have a backlog of cleansers to get through, now. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 55 – A great time for sunscreen! I got … Continue reading June 2012 Glossy

I really have to shake the doormat. Dress, Winners Cardi, F21 Shoes, H&M Earrings, Avon Sweater Guard, Etsy The length of my hair is in an awkward place. It’s not long enough to braid or do interesting things with, but I don’t like wearing it up. If I don’t do intense blow-drying (and it’s too hot to do that) it lays flat in the front, and doesn’t shine like I like. Half-up seems to work well, but sometimes I just don’t like it. Mid-hair days. Boo on them. On the upside, the shoes that Julie got me for V-Day are … Continue reading Zippers.

So summery in this! Blouse, Reitmans Skirt, H&M Shoes, Payless Necklace, Zellers Watch, Kisai RPM Ring, Trove This is the happiest I’ve been with an outfit in a long while. The colour of this blouse is just so pleasing to me. Bright green should be a more prominent force in my wardrobe. Also check out the garden boxes! The lad was tired of looking at the AC, so he got this climby planty thing, and there are herbs in the front box – basil and parsley for now. They’re pretty great. Nipping outside to snip some fresh basil into my … Continue reading GREEN might be my new favourite colour
