Got back to Montreal and was faced with dreary weather! Dress, H&M White tights & Cardi, F21 Grey tights, Secret Booties, from my sister Watch, Miss Sixty Bracelet & Sweater Guard, Trove I’m hooked on tights-layering, though. It’s perfect for the middle-season weather, rainy and dreary but not super cold. Also means I have a boatload of basically one-of-a-kind tights, which I’m pretty into! Continue reading Tights

FINALLY got my Luxe box, May 1st! Not super impressed by that. Products: Seche Porcelain, File & Nail guide: This was my First In Line product, and I didn’t expect a 3.6ML bottle, single sheet of nail guides and teeny file when I requested a “Seche French Kit”. I suppose I shouldn’t complain too hard, but it was a bit disappointing. Other options in the First In Line were Panty By Post (mail panties, not sure about this), an Essie polish (which turned out to be a super cute pale pink colour), and a hair treatment. Orlane Oligo Light Smoothing … Continue reading Luxe, Glossy & Julep – April 2012

Not a huge fan of this outfit. Jeans, Cardi, Joe Fresh Tee, Old Navy Brooch, gift from Carmen Booties, gift from my sister Watch, Hello Kitty The outfit doesn’t tickle me, but my hair does. You can really see the pink -> green transition here, and I love it. I’ve also taken to wearing blush, which I think you can see. My sister passed these booties along to me because they were a bit too big for her, and they’re quite right for me. I’ve also managed to wear them into the ground in a matter of weeks. Whoops! Continue reading Meh.

Mina and I are going to do her challenges jointly! So I need to find… Classic, Pretty, Polish by fourdiaries featuring nickel free jewelry Polka dots! (dress? skirt? something else?) Fitted white blouse Classic black heels Structured bag Bright matte lipstick One “piece” of jewelry: – A glamorous watch? – A great cocktail ring? – A collection of fab bracelets? Also, I went on a mini-break to Boston! I’ll update with my pictures and trip stuff this week! But let it be known that I put my FEET in that there OCEAN, and it was bloody cold. Continue reading Coming soon….

I adore this dress. Dress, Target Tights, We Love Colours Shoes, Payless This dress is back in rotation! It sort of fits again! This excites me because I love it to pieces. The little neck-detail is darling, the length is perfect for my 5’1″, and it’s my all-time favourite dress colour combo, black and white! (I have a number of black & white dresses. That number is high.) Bonus: CAT! Vex is super pretty and comes out to play more since she got her lion-haircut. Continue reading Ladylike Dresses

Shoes & Socks, F21 Cardi, H&M Tee, Boyfriend’s (Tristan I think) Skirt, Joe Fresh Watch, Target Sweater Guard, Trove I don’t like this skirt. I’m pretty sure I should do away with it. It doesn’t flatter me in the least, feels too short in the back, and is generally boring. What do you think? Skirt? Keep it Bin it – where ‘bin’ is donate Other – I’ll tell you in the comments    pollcode.com free polls  Continue reading Greyzy Days

Final pre-complete hair! Dress, H&M Tee, Urban Outfitters Shoes, Payless Jacket & Tights, F21 Necklace, gift from Mina Bracelet, trove WAtch, Target Bag, Rebecca Minkhoff for Avon (want one? email Lauren!) It was a Sunday, so needed comfort and stretchy materials do that (be Sunday, I guess?). Everything is jersey. Everything. The blazer, the dress, the tee. My necklace is a little baking tray and measuring spoons. So cute! (Similar) Continue reading Jersey Girl

The following outfit is inspired by the girl who was on fire. Leggings, American Apparel Cape, gift from Shiv Boots, Payless Socks, Wal-Mart Earrings, Joe Fresh Cat Clutch, gift from Mina I didn’t get to see the movie until a little while ago (last week?) and I was pretty disappointed. The movie took all of Katniss’ good qualities – strong leadership, fearlessness, selflessness – and turned her into just a girl who things happened to because other people did things for her. Continue reading And may the odds be ever in your favour

Well, it’s April 23rd and Glymm is the only box I’ve received so far this month, so rather than do one round-up post, I’ll make separate entries this time. mai couture social gloss in g’vinity: The colour is strange to look at in the tube, sort of a shimmery greige, but on, it looks alright on my lips. There is a heavy vanilla scent and it’s only a little bit sticky. atelier cologne in orange sanguine: Smells nice. I prefer perfume samples with a spritz to the kind you have to open and dab, because invariably the open ones explode … Continue reading April Glymm

Here we have step two in the hair process: Jeans, Joe Fresh Tank, H&M Tee, Urban Outfitters Jacket, F21 Watch, Miss Sixty Necklace, no idea. I’m actually pretty okay with this jeansoutfit, even though it is jeans, because it’s sufficiently different from my normal wear. Why I feel it okay to wear jeans all of a sudden I’m not certain. It’s easy? I don’t like that answer! Apparently, while I wait to get my photo done I dance, & look suspicious of my photographer: Enjoy. Continue reading Jeans jeans jeans jeans
