I’m lucky to live in a city which is known for it’s festivals. We just wrapped up the 13th annual Festival Montreal en Lumiere, which is one of my favourites. It ends with La Nuit Blanche, an all-night celebration centered in the Place des Spectacles, as well as Old Montreal, the Olympic Village, and Plateau neighbourhoods. Restaurants, shops and activities stay open late or all-night. It’s pretty great. Knowing I’d be out late, I wanted to be comfortable and warm. Jeans, Joe Fresh Tee, Old Navy Hoodie, GAP Cardi, F21 Watch, Target We started at the Olympic Stadium / Biodome … Continue reading La Nuit Blanche

This is my fifth Glymm box: Compared to the Luxe box the contents are a little underwhelming, numbers wise. The box seems less ‘full’. They made a huge mistake in getting rid of the jelly beans, which were a part of the first three Glymm’s I got – and a selling point which totally convinced my friends to get one. The products: Sula Natural Shadow – Full size. The colour I got is a lovely petal pink and I’ve been wearing it almost daily. Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm – Full size. Burt’s Bees products are favourites of just about … Continue reading February Glymm Box

I get four of these beauty box thingies, and figured I should start reviewing them, since I should really decide on two. I’ve yet to receive my first TopBox, which I signed up for in December, and am also waiting on my first GlossyBox, but I’ve been getting LuxeBox for about six months, and Glymm box for about five. February’s Luxe: Products: pureDKNY Eau de Parfum – I’ve been wearing this and I do like it a lot. It smells very clean. I’m not a perfume girl, really (but my chosen ones are Lola by Marc Jacobs and Saint by … Continue reading February Luxe Box

Snake Ring, H&M Snake Brooch, Trove Apple Earrings, gift! Watch, Hello Kitty. Dress, Zellers Cardi, H&M Tights, Les Ailes de la Mode Boots, Payless I couldn’t decide what jewels to put on on this day, until I realized I wanted my apple earrings. Then the only thing that made sense was snake accessories. Another super pleasing outfit! Boring, but quite nice. Continue reading I wear a lot of black

These two items might be my best pattern-mixers. Skirt, Dynamite Tights, American Apparel Tee, Old Navy Vest, Makers of True Originals Cardi, H&M Bracelets, Brooch & Sweater Guard, Trove Watch, Target I’d love to learn to mix like Kasmira, whose style I envy immensely, and someday I’m sure I’ll work my way up to being so awesome. Until then, this is as bold as I’ll go, I guess. Also, sadly a return to flat hair. (Also, also, the second Blogger I Envy I’ve linked to this week! Perhaps it’ll be a series… ) Continue reading Patterns.

None of these things match. Jeans, Les Ailes de la Mode Tee, Urban Outfitters Cardi, F21 Watch, Target Brooch, trove Curly hair, hot rollers I must’ve gotten up wicked early to make this hair bidness go down, and I am quite fond of it. I wish often to have curly hair, ideally with perfect ringlets. By the end of the day I’m sure it was bone straight again, but in the morning I was very pleased indeed. As for my outfit, I adore it! Nothing matches in the slightest, but it doesn’t seem to matter. I don’t think I look … Continue reading Winter is apparently the time of Jean

The word jacket will forever make me think of Jean Claude Jaquettie. Jacket, F21 Dress, ModCloth Leggings, American Apparel Necklace, zellers This jacket & dress combo comes in part from admiring Erin for a number of years. She always pairs somewhat edgier pieces with girly dresses and it comes off looking fab. I don’t manage to capture the edginess as well, I think, but I’m still pretty happy with the pairing.

This dress is one of my favourites. I have a lot of favourites. Dress, F21 Sweater, H&M Leggings, American Apparel Boots, Sorel Watch, Miss Sixty Socks, pressie for Christmas from someone Earrings, can’t see clearly! Grr! I dropped salad dressing on the chest of this dress and there is a permanent oil stain on it, so I can’t wear it without a topper, which is unfortunate because it really does make me feel awesome – the neckline, the colour, the cut, everything about it is fab. And it was like $11 at F21. I should’ve bought the others, I knew … Continue reading Brights

How awesome is the thing on my head? Skirt, Joe Fresh Tank, Republique GIANT HEAD THING, Ophelie Hats Sweater, Jacob Tights, Les Ailes Sweater guard & Ring, Trove I like weird things sticking out of my head. I was off to the Girls’ night and I know another friend is also keen on giant head things. She loved this little number. It’s the only thing I’m wearing which is wacky, so I think it works. I can’t wait for spring, I have a collection of decorative hats I must start wearing. Continue reading Head things make me happy

I think I have worn this entire outfit before. ‘Dress’, H&M Sweater, Winners Tights, American Apparel Socks, F21 Boots, Payless Brooch, Republique Watch, Target Topsy Turvy weather means no snow in February. How weird. Also I need to do something with the tips of my hair! This fading pink / orangey business has got to stop. I saw a picture of a girl the other day whose lipstick matched her hair almost perfectly and I was envious so maybe I’ll look for something in that range. (This girl – from here) Continue reading Stripes.
