Mina’s challenges as well as a general sense of bleh are forcing me to try to wear the things in my closet I don’t love. Dress, H&M Sandals, Impanema by Gisele Slip, the Bay After dinner, we try to take walks along the canal. I tend to be a sleepytype person, though, so while the lad took photographs of a train going by, I took a little nap. I love the water, it’s so calming. Hair inspired by this pin. Mine’s not long enough to fall so gracefully, so it’s a bit messier, but I love how it makes the … Continue reading Red Flowers

My June topbox was a bit late this month, but was worth the wait, I think. Mark. Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain in Frilly Frou-Frou – which is the best product name ever, I feel. The applicator is one of those clicky brushes, like the Nailstix nail polish, you know? It’s alright. The texture of the gloss is somewhat sticky, and the colour is not super pigmented, but I like it okay. Stila Forever Your Curl Mascara – I have too many mascaras, now. I need to start handing them out to folk on the street or something. One … Continue reading June 2012 Topbox

For Canada Day, we went to America in search of a beach. We found it, eventually, but not before I bought two bathing suits at Change (they carry my size now! Bras that fit! Bathing suits with sufficient support! I love you, Change!) and two dresses at Target. The one below, and this one, which I’ve yet to wear. Dress, Target Cardi, F21 Sweater Guard, Trove Watch, bf’s G-Shock Sandals, Ipanema by Gisele You may also notice I banged my legs up pretty good – not only that, I scraped my two big toes. I took a tumble off the … Continue reading New America Dress!

My June Glossy arrived on July 2. 😐 It’s weird that that upsets me so, isn’t it? A little. Wella Professional Ocean Spritz – Beach-Texture hair for me, doesn’t sound like a good thing, but I’d be willing to give this a shot. Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser – I’ve always liked Biore products, when I was a teenager I used their cleanser exclusively, and it was a good time in skin for me. I have a backlog of cleansers to get through, now. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion SPF 55 – A great time for sunscreen! I got … Continue reading June 2012 Glossy

I really have to shake the doormat. Dress, Winners Cardi, F21 Shoes, H&M Earrings, Avon Sweater Guard, Etsy The length of my hair is in an awkward place. It’s not long enough to braid or do interesting things with, but I don’t like wearing it up. If I don’t do intense blow-drying (and it’s too hot to do that) it lays flat in the front, and doesn’t shine like I like. Half-up seems to work well, but sometimes I just don’t like it. Mid-hair days. Boo on them. On the upside, the shoes that Julie got me for V-Day are … Continue reading Zippers.

So summery in this! Blouse, Reitmans Skirt, H&M Shoes, Payless Necklace, Zellers Watch, Kisai RPM Ring, Trove This is the happiest I’ve been with an outfit in a long while. The colour of this blouse is just so pleasing to me. Bright green should be a more prominent force in my wardrobe. Also check out the garden boxes! The lad was tired of looking at the AC, so he got this climby planty thing, and there are herbs in the front box – basil and parsley for now. They’re pretty great. Nipping outside to snip some fresh basil into my … Continue reading GREEN might be my new favourite colour

I’m trying to wear more colour and less black lately. Dress, Zellers Cardi, F21 Watch, BF’s G-Shock Shoes, Payless It’s working out well, I think! Slightly more adventursome for me, but I like finding ways that colours go together and go with my hair. Speaking of, yesterday (June 30), I spent the day making a slight change. Out with the pink, in with the .. well, i won’t spoil it. It’s great, though! This post is going up on Canada day, and I’ll be spending it with Lauren, doing nothing patriotic, sadly. I may check out the fireworks tonight if … Continue reading Colour and Colour.

Boring! Tee, Tristan, bf’s Cardi, Joe Fresh Skirt, thrifted Watch, vintage swatch, bf’s Sweater Guard, Bangor Antique Mall This sweater guard is so cute, unfortunately I put it through the wash and the lovely pattern was ruined. I’m not sure what to fill it in with, now. Continue reading Grey & Wrinkly.

No colour today. Too tired for colours. Pants, Old Navy Tee, La Vie En Rose Cardi, Wal-Mart Watch, bf’s G-Shock Shoes, H&M Socks, Betsey Johnson Pretty sure you can see how tired I am. Sometimes, there’s just not enough sleep in the whole world to keep me going. I don’t think I’ve eaten a tonne of the delicious wheat, but lately I feel drained and sick every day. It’s moderately unpleasant. Still, I’ll keep plugging away. I may try to be even better about the foods, and with summer here I’ve felt a major desire to do some physical outdoor … Continue reading Pantalones
