Studs are one of my favourite things on any piece of clothing or accessory. These studded belt are actually a replica of Carrie’s famous leather belt from the original SATC movie which I bought it off Taobao for about $2 CAD. The quality is kind of terrible, but you can’t go wrong for just $2. I’ve also gotten a little more creative with my poses, but of course there is still room for improvement. I look to Rosie for some posing inspiration.

Contrary to this blogging pattern from the past couple of weeks, no, I will not be turning into a fashion blogger. BUT, the weather is so beautiful now that I must take advantage of it and get some outfit photos taken. Thank you to MizzJ for taking all of my photos for me!

Outfit: Random Bohemian Gypsy-ness

Spring is here in the beautiful city of Vancouver. I always feel the urge to dress all bohemian and “flowy” come spring because of all the pretty flora blooming in the city. I love this top, and I think it’s the perfect spring blouse. Expect to see it in more outfit posts in the future. Can you also tell I love those Nine West flats? I wear them almost every day now that the colour is finally appropriate to wear. Bright colours? YES PLEASE!

In other news… I booked a trip to Vegas for the end of the month! I am super excited because I haven’t had a real vacation in a while (unless you count the Reading Week trip I took to Montreal last year). I need some warmth on my skin!

Outfit: Trousers that make middle-aged women go “summer must be coming”

I wore this outfit out a couple of weeks ago to Vancouver Fashion Week. As MizzJ, Rosie and I were on the way out for a drink, we passed a group of middle-aged women. We overheard one of them say to their friends “summer must be coming” after she saw the bottoms I was wearing.

Sorry for being MIA. I’ve been really busy with work and family this month and I’m also trying to “improve” myself by trying to get a certification or two. I will be posting content once in a while but not as regularly as before. Thank you for your continued support!

FOTD + OOTD for CityTV x eBeauty.ca event… green all over!

I did a smokey green and gold look to match my green dress and gold accessories for the CityTV x eBeauty.ca event.

On my eyes, I used:

• Estee Lauder Pure Colour Five Colour Eyeshadow in Extravagant Gold (light beige as highlight and gold as base and to pat over the green for extra glow)
• Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Regard Perle (dark green shade as crease colour and layered gold near the lash line to create dimension)
• Coffret D’or Trance Deep Eyes in 03 Khaki-Green Variation (dark green as the “smoke” colour)
• UDPP
• Dollywink Liquid Liner
• Majolica Majorca Mascara Base
• Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
• MAC #41 Lashes

On my cheeks, I used Jill Stuart Mix Blush compact in 07 Lovely Tulip as blush, and 101 Puffy Marshmallow to highlight.On my lips, I used Chanel Rouge Coco in 13 Gardenia.

My eyebrows were shaded in with MAC’s eyebrow pencil in Taupe. Nails were done using Dior Vernis in Timeless Gold. Base makeup was all Chanel: Vitalumiere Aqua in B20 and Poudre Universelle Libre in 20.

Here are some photos of eye look (no blush/lip colour yet). I love the shape of my eyebrows in these photos, which is why I’m showing you, haha =P

And my finished look with my straight bangs/fringe down.

My outfit for the night was a green dress with paisley print by Anna Sui. My belt was especially purchased for the occasion, a gift from one of my good friends Stephanie, from BCBG. My shoes (not shown) were from Dior.

I heart H&M x Lanvin

I am any girl in love with fashion and clothing. I LOVE H&M’s collaborations with various designers. I didn’t get into H&M until maybe my first year of university, just because they weren’t available in my city until then, but I’ve quickly acknowledged that they offer the best clothes in the price range that they operate in. It wasn’t until these recent years that I’ve been really into their collaborations, the last one being Sonia Rykiel where I was able to grab a few things when I was in Paris. The latest one with Lanvin has stole my heart and I definitely plan on getting some stuff from this collection.

Some highlights (AKA my personal favourites!):

I’m planning on getting the two black dresses (the one-shoulder dress with the puff shoulders looks purple but its actually black), and the black ruffle skirt. I really wanted that black trench coat too, but you can get a really nice coat for a lot cheaper than what that coat is selling for. I also really love the shoes and accessories, but I figured Lanvin is mostly known for their dresses, may as well just buy their dresses. And maybe the sunglasses too XD
