Pick of the Week!

Hey Guys,

I just found this online today actually and I thought it was a really interesting piece. It mixes the denim jacket trend with the parka really nicely and I love the look it pulls off. Something edgy paired with that, in my mind my rolling stones tee, wet look leggings and doc martens and I'll be good to go!

Thrift Haul!

Hey Guys,

I went to Value Village for their 50% off all clothing sale, how could I not jump on that opportunity? I thought I shouldn't get my hopes up because my Value Village is right by my university so if anyone else heard about the sale all the uni hipster kids would be going as well. To my surprise I got away with some awesome deals and found some sweet finds! Over all my items came to a grand total of $20.16. Crazy, I know..

A nice fulllll bag!

My absolute absolute FAVOURITE find. I couldn't help but be extremely excited when I saw this. I've been looking for a tacky 70's wind breaker and this is the best one I've seen so far! It's so awesome and its a perfect sizing for me in a mens size small. Thats right, mens! Make sure to always always check out the mens section because thats where I always find my best pieces! 

Value Village - $14.99  - $7.50 

It had wolves on it. I had to buy it. Credit to Jonathan for this one & the windbreaker for the find.

Value Village - $6.99 - $3.50

This one was an awesome find as well, a rose detailed corduroy shirt. The thing that's really cool is that its a shorter top so its just longer than a crop top, and I thought it would be perfect to tuck into my high waisted BGBD black pants from UO.  

Value Village - $6.99 - $3.50

This top reminded me of the American Apparel lace top that I've always wanted so I snapped it up right way. This shirt is sooo long so I'm thinking just a lace bandeau, high waisted jeans and my army parka and I'll be set to go. This shirt is just the right amount of see through as well! 

Value Village - $6.99 - $3.50

All items added up = $20.16. Noice.

Seattle Haul

Hey Guys,

As promised, heres my Seattle haul. I surprisingly didn't get a lot of stuff, which makes me proud if anything! More or less some essentials considering everything so much cheaper down there!

I've always wanted some Butter London nail polish but there is just no way I can justify 20$ for a single nail polish.. but.. problem solved! I found these beauty's at Normstrom Rack 

Butter London Nail Polish - $34.95 , $14.95 

I've always heard about this foundation on YouTube but never been able to get it because they don't sell Neutrogena makeup in Canada! So far I've been loving it, a possible blog post will be coming up soon! 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup - $12.99 

I heard about this product from UglyFaceofBeauty and she raved about it for eyebrows. I've recently been running out of my Mac browset and decided I didn't wanna pay that much for another. Problem solved, this product is a miracle and I wish I bought more because E.L.F. shipping to Canada is stupid expensive... 

Elf Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Clear Brow Mascara

I absolutely love Bumble and Bumble products and I know I'll be sticking to them religiously so when I saw this item at Normstrom Rack I snatched it up right away because it was half the price of what I'd pay in Canada. 

Bumble & Bumble Seaweed Conditioner

This is by far my new favourite scarf/snood. 

Free People - $19.95 (sale) 

The only clothing item I bought on the whole trip! Which was a surprise because I'm not a huge fan of Forever 21.

Reading Break - Seattle Style

Hey Guys,

This week since my uni had a reading break we decided to go to Seattle for a nice cheap trip! It was awesome and I have to say that Seattle is a must visit city. So many great things are going on down there, although we didn't get to do too many touristy things because we didn't want to spend a bunch of money. The trip was fun none the less, and we're already planning to go back in the summer to watch a baseball game.... here are some photos from our trip!

Where I spied the beautiful Dr. Martens from my Feb 14, 2013 'Pick of the Week' (I ended up buying them on Karmaloop for 70$ off the original price) Go me.

Trying on the scarf I ended up buying!

Pick of the Week

Hey Guys,
I just got back from Seattle Washington for a little vacation for reading break and I found these gems in the doc marten store down there. I almost bought them but held off! They were super comfy and an awesome fit. I'd totally recommend them, it's an awesome collaboration with the company Pendleton which is known for their old school knits, a store we also got to visit. These boots really stood out for me because they were the usual doc martens but with a little bit of a twist, which I'm always looking for!

Gander 'round the Seawall

Hey Guys,

Today was a beautiful day in Vancouver, a sunny (but still a bit chilly) day and perfect for a walk around the water. Needless to say, everyone was taking advantage of the warmer weather and went out for a stroll. Thought I'd bring some pictures of the walk along with one picture of my outfit, with a super unimpressed look on my face, but I figured you guys could ignore that part.

disclaimer: Please ignore the extremely unimpressed look on my face, it was the best shot of my full outfit.. 

Jacket - Urban Outfitters 

Tank Top - Aritzia

Scarf - Zara 

Leggings - Forever 21

 (tip, choose nylon leggings for under maxi skirts and it stops it from catching on your legs as you walk)

Boots - Steve Madden
