Spring Outfits- Featuring Green

Welcome to Spring! With the weather being above zero almost everyday, I think I can dare to say that spring has arrived. Although I'm not a fan of the mud or water (you're looking at someone who hates messes) I do love the fresh warm air and the cheery spirit that spring brings. Along with the warmer weather comes bright and cheerful fashions! Goodbye drab woolen sweaters and clunky winter boots, hello peach dresses and heels. I thought that I would put together a couple of outfit sets, of different kinds and styles, to help provide some inspiration for all your new spring outfit choices. I decided to have a little fun and incorporate something green into every outfit. Although not very green out right now, we should start to see some nice grass and a few perfect little buds on the trees.  The first outfit is for a night out, or if you like to be fancy like me, an everyday pretty ensemble. A pink or peach a-line dress creates an elegant silhouette while a well-cut,...

How to Buy High End Makeup- For Cheaper!

High end makeup can be great! There are always a few products that we are lusting over and that are the latest craze. But what most people aren't lusting over is shelling out $50 plus for one item of makeup. I know that I definitely don't feel right paying that amount unless I have at least 3 items in my basket.

However here are a few tips and tricks to help you satisfy your expensive makeup craving, but keep your wallet happy as well.  TIP #1: Buy things in travel size.   Not only is it more practical for your budget, travel size products also give you a chance to try out the latest products or cult classics without having to commit to the full size (and full price). They also fit better in your makeup bag, which if you have a similar problem to me, can help with saving space for all of the other million products that you keep in there. Travel size products ...

Style Saturday: Winter Woollies

  Welcome to Style Saturday! Today was nice, sunny and only -12 (yes you read that right). It's my first full day home for the Winter break so I spent it enjoying my family and decorating our Christmas tree. I decided to be comfy today so I chose to wear a warm knit turtlenecked jumper and some high-waisted jeans. The knit sweater is my Mom's and I think quite old so I'm not too sure wear it if from; it has really nice detailing on the sleeves and that just makes the sweater a little bit more glam. The jeans are from Sirens and are very stretchy. I prefer the dark wash jeans as they hide a multitude of sins like that half round of cheese I just ate . Even though they are highwaisted they are still comfortable to sit in and that is a win in my books. The outfit was super comfy, simple and warm which is perfect for our Canadian winter.  For my beauty routine I kept it very simple with well moisturized skin, natural makeup and I just wore my hair in a ponytail....
