get a sense of my style ..

Hey Guys,

I'm pretty new to the blogging world and have been camera shy for a while now but I wanted to get a couple of the few photos that I have out there. These are my favourite Instagram pics so you can get a sense of my style, giving you an idea of what you're going to see in the future!

Pick of the Week

Hey Guys,

Bringing you the another pick of the week! This one is an awesome spiked shirt that has the casual look and must be super comfy. My perfect outfit would be this shirt, buttoned up all the way with the front tucked into American Apparel Disco Pants with a pair of Chelsea boots with a wavy hair style and you're golden.

wild at heart

Sasquatch Music Festival !!

Hey Guys,
I wanted to make a post about this because I am beyond beyond excited that I'm going but today I just ordered tickets for me and my boyfriend to the Sasquatch Music Festival. If you look at the photo you can tell this line up is just STACKED with people, it's so insane I can't even believe it. For myself, I'm extremely excited because of my unhealthy obsession with Mumford & Sons and because they rarely come to Canada this will finally be my opportunity to see them live! Other bands to keep an eye out are: Imagine Dragons, Vampire Weekend, The Lumineers, The XX, Macklemore, Cake, Grimes, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Japandroids .... need I go on?





Collective Haul!

Hey Guys,

I've been putting these clothes aside for a while now in hopes of a YouTube Collective Haul but because I've been so crazy I've decided its about time I just push through and do a blog post instead. So here it is, all the clothes I've bought since boxing day in Canada. A lot of these clothes were also from the Urban Outfitters 'freeze over sale', (or something along those lines). Everything will be listed below per usual!


Awesome supppperrr oversized shirt with an awesome edgy vibe. I pair it with a jacket or some sort and leggings and I'm ready to go to a lecture! 




Picked this up in Topshop's Boxing Day Sale, I got it in the biggest size so it would be super comfy. Something to be noted, the amazing collar and arm detail, puts a twist on the average plaid shirt look.

No longer on the site, sorry! 



This shirt isn't a usual for me. For some reason I was attracted to the high neck that would normally turn me off but for some reason, it just works in this shirt. I also love how see through it is, you can go riskay with just a black bra but I like to pair it with a blank tank top underneath.




Spotted in the Urban Outfitter 50% sale section sale just under some other random clothes. This was my favourite find, who wouldn't love a velvet scarf? I throw this one on to just drape down my neck like it is shown on the hanger. 




This poncho-almost style sweater was a steal! Normally $132 and lowered down to $59.99 + 50% off that price I snagged it for only $30.00. Needless to say I was pretty stoked.. 


A two in one shot to save room I got 2 sets of new leggings (because that's all I wear basically) First on the left are a pair from Forever 21, which I was just so excited for considering they are a perfect dupe for the American Apparel 'Shiny Nylon Tricot Leggings'. Second pair, right, I got from the Lululemon Warehouse sale in Vancouver, for only $22.00 I was impressed with the price and couldn't walk away without them. 

Sold Out in Black 


Here's a close up of the two different finishes of the leggings, the ones on the left are made from nylon and the right cotton. 


Finally I found a winter ski jacket I'm absolutely in love with, this jacket is soo warm with a down and feather insolation. I'm finding myself wearing this everyday in the rainy Vancouver weather, how did I ever survive without it? I particularly love the heather grey finish, faux leather tassels and the ruching at the stomach giving a more flattering look. 



These amazingly comfy shoes I actually ordered from Sole Struck on their black friday sale but I had them shipped back home so I just got a hold of them now. These shoes are perfect for me because they have a tiny heel, but lets get real, I'm already 6 foot so I don't need anymore height ..

Korres Lip Butters

Hey Guys,

This will be my first beauty post raving about the well known Korres Lip Butters. I got this as a gift for christmas and decided I should do a product rave with a twist: I'll be showing you the products that I found are perfect to match with the butters! Without further due..



Shades left to right : Jasmine (sheer neutral pink), Pomegrante (sheer coral), and Wild Rose (sheer deep rose) 


I received this set of 3 as a Christmas gift however, you can still buy the lip butters indvidually at: Sephora


This is what I find as the PERFECT match for the wild rose shade, and my personal favourite.
 MAC's Lustre - Plumful 


Next pairing isn't an exact match but I do love this pair considering the lipstick is a matte finish, the lip balm just adds a sheer nude tint to the lipstick to give the perfect finish. 
MAC's Matte - Kinda Sexy


This is the pairing I use for my every day lips, I even get loads of compliments on this look. With the Revlon Balm Stain it's the perfect your lip but better colour and when you add the Pomegranate lip butter on top it finishes it off with a nice mix between what I consider a coral and barbie pink almost. 
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - 001 Honey 


From left to right are the combos and finished looks of the two product pairings: 
Mac's Kinda Sexy + Korres Jasmine
 Revlon 001 Honey + Korres Pomegranate
 Mac's Plumful + Korres Wild Rose 


Here I've swatched the different colours separately to get an idea of how comparable or different the colours are, yet the mix beautifully. Listed from left to right:
Mac Lipstick - Kinda Sexy (Matte)
Korres Lip Butter - Jasmine 
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - 001 Honey 
Korres Lip Butter - Pomegranate
Mac Lipstick - Plumful (Lustre)  
Korres Lip Butter - Wild Rose

Pick Of The Week


Hey guys, I've been kinda MIA for a while which I can properly blame on my school, things have been a little more than crazy lately. Coming back with my pick of the week this time I've been scanning the Urban Outfitters sale section and fell in immediate love with these boots. After all, studs are close to heart for me. They're Frye boots so you can't expect anything less of a hefty price tag attached.
