This topbox was super ace. Also, I took these pictures all by my lonesome and they’re pretty awesome. It was full of great goodies this month: An Expressions Brush Nexxus Shampoo & Conditioner ‘Pink Wipes’ which I think are meant to be refreshing cloths, but to me sound like a feminine hygiene product. Kellett Skincare Polishing Gel Toner ‘Dot’ by Marc Jacobs L’Eau de Chloe How CUTE is that bottle? I’ve not yet used the wipes, but everything else in this box has been fantastic. I’m really pleased with Topbox, overall. It’s really too bad the waitlist is so long! The weeks … Continue reading August 2012 TopBox

Tie between strapless and sweetheart. My vote was for ‘Her Fifties Sundress‘, but it was the only one. Given a choice between the other two I will go with Sweetheart. The strapless one is probably dressiest and the colour richest, but it’s not comfortable enough to wear for a full day, I don’t think. Maybe I’ll switch to it during the evening!

I am slowly, slowly, slowly learning to use the boy’s fancy camera. I set up all the lamps on the table (yeah.) and turned on all the overheads, and set to work trying to take pictures. You know, with my camera, I just had to point it and hit the button? I miss those days a little bit. On the other hand, now I can make things blurry on purpose.

Apologies, gentle reader, for my long absence. As I write this little Vex is sitting at the vet’s awaiting surgery. She’ll be fine, I know. In my absence, I’ve done and worn many things, but have photos of few. I did, however, manage to scrape up photos of my latest boxes! Topbox, Glossy, and Glymm We’ll start with my final GlossyBox. I opted to cancel the service before I peeked at the contents of this box, and I’m feeling pangs of regret. However, I’m also finding myself not going through the samples that I get and since Glossy sends the … Continue reading Finally!

I am temporarily hijacking Sabrina’s regularly scheduled style program (with her permission) to bring my May and June contributions to Mina’s 4D monthly Style Challenge. Both are embarrassingly late, but better late than never, as people generally say. When I heard that Mina and Sab were doing this together I thought it’d be fun to join in – I couldn’t stand idly by and let them put together fabulous outfits without me! The idea of the challenge appeals to me because it forces me to look into my wardrobe to mix and match pieces, rather than go with standby outfits. … Continue reading Lauren’s 4D Style Challenge: May & June

My knee is healing up nicely. Dress, H&M Cardi, Zellers Sandals, Payless Sweater Guard, Trove New Glasses! This dress could’ve worked for the Challenge, as well, and Lauren wanted me to wear it, but I had already picked up the colourful number, so no go. I’ve been suffering hair boredom, you know. It’s the in-between length, it’s super fine, it’s awesomely coloured, yes, but it’s limp from the heat. And I hate ponytails. I asked the lad to learn to do a French Braid, and we will, but he got frustrated on the first go, so I had to come … Continue reading Coral Dress & Awesome Hair

Let’s start this Challenge Recap off right: What, pray, has me so terrified/shocked/open-mouthed? THIS GUY. What is that? A Dragon Fly? DO NOT LIKE. It was SO CLOSE to me the entire time, it was NOT COOL. Alright, let’s get down to challenge-business. Every month, Mina gets PeopleStyleWatch magazine. “Every” month, she creates a polyvore set based on the mag, and what we should all be on the lookout for in order to be stunningly beautiful (like we are). This month (last month), it was this: Sunshine and Simplicity by fourdiaries featuring cotton dresses I find polyvore complicated, and confusing, … Continue reading June 2012 4D Challenge

I adore this dress! Dress, Target (The Webster Miami for Target) Pin, Ambassador Plucky, & bracelet, Trove Sandals, F21 These sandals are super cute, but they’re toooo tight on my ankles and toes. Throughout the day my foot kindof moves backward and eventually I’m only half in them. It’s not ideal – cute, though. It was the end of the day and my hair looked sadder, but this is the result of a) curling ironing my hair until it’s curly (also flat ironing some parts for looser waves) and then applying the wella beach waves product. I really don’t like … Continue reading New America Dress, part Deux
