Recent Purchases

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for my lack of blogging lately. It is exam season at school, so I have been busy studying and writing papers. I have managed to get in a little shopping. I thought I would share some of my recent purchases with my readers.

These are my new goodies!

Lace Shorts from Silver Daisy Designs: I love the lace short trend. I cannot wait to wear these as a casual or dressed up look.


I really liked this bag. It looks very Mulberry inspired. I love the cream and navy together!


I fell in love with this bodycon dress when I saw it. I loved the color and it will look great with my skin tone when I get my summer tan. Bandage dresses are perfect for a night out.


I fell in love with the first Lady Gaga Viva Glam lipstick but I think I love the Viva Glam II even more. This is the perfect nude lipstick. It also goes to a great cause!

Sorry for the lack of blogging. I will update more when exams are over.

Color Block

Hi Everyone!

One of the major trends for this spring is color blocking. I felt like taking the challenge today to color block my outfit. Color blocking is very interesting as it can be a hit or miss depending on which colors you use. Today I decided to experiment with color blocking. I hope it was a hit! Exciting News: I am finished my Bachelor of Arts degree. I only have 1 paper and 2 exams until I am completely done!

Dress: Le Chateau
Coat: Joe Fresh
Shoes: Deb

I wanted to share some cool pictures that were taken from a friend's birthday party. The party was in a room that was completely white; white walls, floor, columns it was beautiful and a great place to get some great shots. I'd like to thank my friends who took the picture and helped me have a great night!

Here's some of the pictures

Plaid and a Tire

Greetings Everyone,

Today's photo is from a day that it was surprisingly warm. The weather is terribly unpredictable here. I love plaid shirts and jean cut offs. This old tire was randomly on the ground by my house so I thought it would be the perfect spot to have a picture taken! I decided to change my hair for once and wear some pigtails.

Shirt:Urban Planet
Shorts:Ardene

Hoop Dreams

Hi Everyone,
Tonight's outfit was for a basketball game I went to with my friends. I wasn't sure what to wear to a basketball team as I wasn't going to an NBA or sitting courtside like many celebrities: Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, Beyonce, etc. I decided on this outfit. I thought it was stylish but yet casual enough for the game. I had fun at the game they played great music and it was a fun atmosphere. After wards I met up with some friends and went to a lounge for a drink.

Black T-shirt:Le Chateau
Overpiece:Le Chateau
Jeggings:Le Chateau
Black Boots

In case anyone couldn't tell from this blog post or any of my other posts I really like Le Chateau and buy a great deal of my clothes there.
Fun Fact: I was going to take these pictures outside but I looked out the window and it was snowstorm! The weather is so unpredictable here!

My Beauty Essentials

Along with fashion one of my another favourite things is beauty products. I am always interested in trying new products to see how they look. When I go to Sephora or Ulta I always do serious damage. I decided to compile some of my favourite beauty products for you all.

Miss Cherie Dior: I love this perfume. I am always wearing it. The smell is wonderful and the ads definitely were a factor in my decision to buy this perfume. The ads were so girly and whimsical. The beautiful Natalie Portman is currently the face of their campaign. The perfume has hints of Green Tangerine, Violette, Pink Jasmine, Patchouli, Crystalline Musk, Strawberry Leaves, Caramelized Popcorn, Strawberry Sorbet. I would definitely recommend this perfume!
Sephora-1.7 oz, $77

Etre Facial Peel: This is one of my favourite products for my face. I was quite leery when I bought it as I was conned in by one of those men who grab your hand and tell you that you need to try their product from the Dead Sea of Israel in the mall. $4o later I ended up with this product. I have no complaints. It has done wonders for my face. I used to suffer from severe acne break outs and oily skin but this rarely happens anymore due to this product. It is a facial peel which takes off the first layer of your skin. It is much safer than chemical peels which I had been contemplating about getting. It leaves your face feeling fresh and smooth.
Stream Beauty-Peel, $12.99

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil: This is a great budget find. I love the Nyx jumbo eye pencils. They are great to use as eye-liner, eye shadow and even brow hi-lights. The color shown here and the one I use the most is Black Bean. The jumbo eye pencils come in many other colors so I would definitely recommend trying them out.
Nyx Cosmetics- Black Bean, $4.99

Black-Up! Black-Up is a cosmetics company that specializes in make up for Black women. This is is refreshing to find shades that are perfect for my skin tone. This concealer is one of my favourites because it blends in perfect to hide imperfections and dark circles. I would definitely recommend any of my readers with dark skin to check out this cosmetics company it is full of great products! My only problem is I bought this in Sephora in Paris and the North American Sephora's do not sell it :(
Black-Up- 14.50€

MAKE UP FOREVER HD Foundation: This is my favourite foundation ever! I would recommend this to everyone! It is full coverage and looks gorgeous in photos. It leaves you feeling fabulous. Many MUA's use this on their clients. Joyce Bonelli uses this on Kim Kardashian. The foundation comes in many different shades to meet every skin tone! I love this product and hope it never is discontinued!
Sephora, $40

Tarte Cheek Stain: I am a huge fan of cream blush. I don't like how crumbly power blush goes. Tarte is one of my favourite brands for cream blush. They have lot's of different colored blushes to match every skin tone and occasion. Tarte is a very eco-friendly make-up line which I trust to put on my face. The tarte mini cheek stain is not available anymore, however it is available in the full size! This is such a beautiful and natural color do not hesitate to buy this!
Tarte, $30

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer: Hard Candy is a line that used to be sold in Sephora. Now it is sold in walmart! Have no fear the quality has not been tampered with. It is still great! This concealer is one of their new products and I love it. It is a great dupe for Kat Von D's tattoo concealer. This concealer works great for covering tattoos, under eye circles, or anything else you feel you need covered. I was very pleased with this products especially for the price of it!
Walmart- Concealer, $6.00

Hard Candy Hide and Glow Duo Cheek Tint: This is another cream blush I love. Hard Candy has done it again with their dual cheek tint. It comes with two shades which can be worn separately or together providing lots of variety. The blush is very long lasting, it always lasts me a whole day. The tint I choose was pillow talk.
Walmart- Hot Date, $6.00


Please let me know if you would like any of these products swatched or more information! I would be happy to help

What are your beauty essentials?
