Outfits for Cold Spring/Summer Days

Cute Warm Outfits For Spring Men and Women   Hello everyone! I know that I keep saying that it is summer, however it really is still only the beginning of June, so the consistent hot weather is still a ways away. Today was quite windy and chilly, so I thought that I would create an outfit set based on the weather. Here are 4 ways make your summer outfits warmer and still cute! 1. Wear A Long-Sleeve Shirt (or Dress) . Adding sleeves can warm up and outfit instantly,and you can always find nice long-sleeve shirts and dresses in summery colours. There are lot's of options for lighter materials and bright colours so as not to be too warm and drab. Long sleeve maxi dresses and tunics are favourites for spring, and they are some of the most versatile pieces. 2. Wear Tights or Pants.  If you have decided to wear a dress add some nylons or tights underneath. If you want to add a pop of colour there is an infinite variety of coloured and textured tights. They can really spice u

Beauty Thursday: Lip and Skincare Products Haul

Since coming home from school I seem to have collected a number of new lip products, and one new skincare product. Granted 3 of these were free- and technically the other two were as well because my Mom paid for them... But regardless! They all magically snaked their way into my makeup bag in the first 2 days I was home. I have tried almost all of them, and they are all amazing and I would highly recommend them.  Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella:  The perfect deep, matte red this lip pencil is now a firm favourite. It goes on smoothly and the opaque colour lasts all day, even with eating, etc. Although this is a matte finish I didn't find the formula drying, nor did it emphasize any of the lines on my lips. If you'd like to see what it looks like on, I'm wearing it in my last blog post which you can find here .  Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien:  Please no one ever ask me to pronounce this name, I'd like to think it's some cool exotic language l

OOTD: 10, 000 Views and Doggy Friends

Thank you so much for 10, 000 views! While it might not seem that big of a milestone I am so grateful and so very blessed to be able to see my little hobby shared with so many wonderful people. Today, as if in celebration, the sun sun came out! And it was even a good hair day-which for third day hair can sometimes be a great feat.  I just stayed at home with my puppy, as I haven't started work yet, so I busied myself with cleaning and baking some muffins- chocolate chip oatmeal muffins to be exact. When my photographer got home from school he graciously took these pictures while the sun was still shining!   My shirt was my Grandma's and I'm not sure where it is from. It has a really neat "fiery" effect, as you move the red will appear and disappear- so darn cool! My jeans are high-waisted and from Sirens, I needed to loosen the button after a couple of those muffins, but hey a girl's gotta indulge sometimes, My shoes are the same ones I'

OOTD: Vintage Polka Dots

Summer is finally here! Even though today was grey and cold it didn't discourage me from breaking out this new polka dot dress! The skirt is so flowy, and the dress has a such a flattering neckline that I fell in love with it when I saw it at the thrift store. As a student on a budget thrifting has become a nice, new  and gentler on the pocketbook   hobby. I found this dress and loved the a-line cut and vintage feel. I matched my makeup to the dress by going for a simple turquoise cat eye.  The dress is from O'Neill, shoes are from Aldo, and nail polish is Plum Power by Sally Hanson. Hope you are all enjoying the summer and sunshine! x Jess
