I don’t usually wear a tonne of colour, and I’m trying to change that, so when I saw this dress at … Loblaws… I was like “Ornge! I want this!” and it was only $16, and it looked comfy, so why not. The cut is not super flattering, but I’ll play with it in the future, this was just a test run. Dress, Joe Fresh Sandals, iPanema by Gisele Cardi, F21 Sweater Guard, Etsy Ring, came with a bottle of nailpolish Also check out this awesome pasta! We saw it at the atwater market on the weekend and picked it … Continue reading ORANGE

Cat helped me with the Glymm bo-aag this month. She’s very helpful. LaFresh Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover Clark’s Botanicals Smoothing Marine Cream Salvador Dali ItIsDream Perfume Vitamine & Sea Perfect Skin Solution Belvada Duo Lipstick | Harmony The duo lipstick is super cute, I love the packaging and the snappy way to get the colour or balm out. It wears great, too, doesn’t clump up or sink into the creases of my lips. Glymm’s new green-initiative replaces the usual cards with a small one, letting us know that the products will be listed online. I’m totally down with this. I … Continue reading June Glymm

CUREL – CUREL FOOT CREAM SIMPLE – EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER SIMPLE – REFRESHING FACIAL WASH GEL BOXX COSMETICS – CREAM CORRECTOR SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL – VOLUPT SHAMPOO So, Glossy is clearly a service specializing in drugstore brands, which I didn’t initially realize, but I am totally okay with. The sizes of the samples seem quite large, and I get a really good idea of how they use. I’m quite pleased with the makeup remover, and the concealer / corrector product. They got my skintone right this time, and the makeup remover doesn’t burn my eyes at all! Huzzah! I’m terrified to … Continue reading May Glossy

None of these photos are flattering, but that’s okay. Shoes & Dress, H&M Cardi, Joe Fresh Brooch, Malabar Sweater Guard & Bracelet, Trove Tights, We Love Colours Watch, Hello Kitty I was having a pretty good time, my lovely photographerman was being cheeky, and we were playing about. So I look cheerful, but goofy. The dress is so comfy, it’s made of this like, almost sweatpantsy material. I’ve since resolved not to buy from H&M, because blah blah ethics, but every day I think “I’m just one lady, surely they don’t miss my purchases. I should buy a dress”. I … Continue reading Oatmeal

Had some issues with the ole closet and haven’t been around lately. That stops here! I’ve a boatload of boxes and outfits, and hopefully will get them all up to show you shortly. First.. June’s Julep IT Girl box. The polishes are.. Sasha, fresh, cantaloupe melon creme. Morgan, frosty grape purple. Sandra, friendly, frosted magenta. Also inside were a lip balm which is fresh and minty, tastes of vanilla, and glides on so smooth! and PIXI STIX. I’ve been wanting a nice cantaloupey colour for a while now, and this one is pretty perfect. Two coats to opaque, and jives … Continue reading June Julep IT Girl

I love when the box is bigger than usual! This month’s luxe had the additional Bath & Body box with it, which last time I was pretty keen on. This time there were two items in the box, a razor and a sample I’ve gotten before for Olay Regenerist. Main Box: Essie Nail Polish in Navigate Her – I tend not to wear green polish since I think it looks a bit like fungus, but the springiness of this may lure me in. Orlane Oligo Vitalizing Mask – I do enjoy a good occasional mask, so I’m looking forward to … Continue reading May 2012 Luxe box

Sometimes I don’t check my camera very often, and it seems like I’ve found an outfit I neglected to show you! Skirt, Old Navy Sweater, gift from my sister Boots, Naturalizer Tights, Calvin Klein Watch, Miss Sixty This was April 30th, according to the camera’s timestamp! I wonder what I was doing that day. Looking pretty cute, apparently. Found photos always amuse me. On the camera proper (not the memory card) I found a few of when my hair was blue as well! No recollection of taking them, but it was more adorable than I remember when it got all … Continue reading Found …
