Little Things

It has been a very long time since I posted anything! Well I am finally here posting a new outfit. This outfit is mostly about how to take old clothes and turning them into something better. I always find old things like a pair of jeans or an old shirt and cut it up. I make something new and more of my style now then what it was before. 

This outfit is a great example of taking the old and making something new out of it. 

I took this old turtle neck sweater and cut it so now it's a cropped shirt I can easily wear with high waisted pants or skirts. I also took a pair of old jeans and made a new pair of cute shorts. 

I added my faux fur vest and a hat to complete this look and to keep myself warm! 

My makeup was a cat eye look with a bold red lip. My lips are Russian Red by MAC. 

I hope you enjoyed this look I put together!

Take Me Home

Hello loves, here I am with yet another style post for today's OOTD. It is getting colder and colder over here and wearing just a vest isn't going to cut it anymore. I need some heavy duty warmth to keep me warm this coming winter, so that's what my next hunt is for a warm winter jacket! 

Today's look was just a simple outfit I put together for this gloomy weather. My friend gave me her jean shirt from H&M and I am already wearing it. It is so comfortable and really easy to move in, which I love. I just paired this outfit with some plain black skinny jeans and boots to complete it.  

With this collared shirt I just added a choker necklace from Aldo to add a little something extra. I also wore my favorite beanie just because I was having a bad hair day. 

This leather vest was originally a jacket from H&M. I cut the sleeves off because I found them to long and turned it into a vest. I found that I am getting way more use out of it and love the way it looks now. 

Fall is all about layering so layer away! 

My lips I decided to go dark so I used Cyber by MAC. 

I hope you enjoyed this look!

Blackout

Daylight savings has come so the days to me have been going very long, bloody hell. I decided to do something a little different for this post so I decided to shoot some pictures at night! I did add an actual  jacket to this look because it's freezing out and I can't get away with it now. 

First, this jacket. I got this last year at H&M for only $35CAD.  I love the green color and it goes with everything I wear. It also does an awesome job keeping me warm and still stylish at the same time. 

This plaid shirt I surprisingly found at Walmart for $16CAD. I paired it with a vintage tank top and added a pair of my favorite high wasted shorts from American Eagle. 

I love hats in the fall/winter. I got this beanie a few years back, but it does the job (keeping me warm)! 

This season I noticed that dark purple/red lipstick is really coming back. I bought this MAC lipstick Cyber a few years ago and I can finally start wearing it. 

Fall is all about layering and adding a faux fur collar can give that outfit a little extra. I got mine from H&M, they do have different ones now but I see that faux fur is coming into jackets and sweaters. 

You gotta love the fall! 

Enjoy <3 

   

Blah Blah Sunday OOTD

The sun has gone away for a little bit and left us with some clouds in the sky. It was still quite warm out so that was still a nice thing. Today's outfit was put together with my yellow blazer being the focal point. 

I paired it with a black and cream colored collard tank from H&M for $19.95CAD and my favorite high waist-ed acid wash jeans from American Apparel for $49.99CAD. 

I wore this bling bling ring from Aldo for $15.00CAD. 

Shoes Shoes Shoes!

I wore my studded flats from Nine West that were $30.00US. These flats are amazing and so comfortable I am starting to wear them more than my TOMS. 

I decided to put on some liner today and one of my favorite liquid liners are from MAC. It goes on very black and stays on forever. I like the brush and the way it goes on is effortless. My lips are Giorgio Armani 40. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and have an amazing week fashionista's!

Flying With Freedom

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful week, I know I did! This past week has been really hot and summer has been great over here in Vancouver this year. I finally got a chance to wear some of the things I bought out of the house and I am obsessed with this blouse I bought. 

I found this blouse at Forever21 for $25.00CAD. This shirt is really airy and comfortable to wear even on those sunny days. I love this shirt because for me I can wear it all year round and make a lot of use out of it. 

I paired this shirt with some baggy (skirt like) pants also from Forever21 for $24.00CAD. I bought these pants last winter season but I still see them around and they are so comfortable so these pants are a must! 

I paired it with just some studded flats from Nine West for $30.00US. 

You gotta love rings! I absolutely love them and I am starting to wear them again. The big one is from Aldo for $12.00CAD and the other ones are from H&M in a pack for $6.95CAD.

I also wore this Bestey Johnson Bracelet I got as a gift. 

My makeup was natural today. I recently got a new mascara ( Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara) and this mascara has been the best one I have used so far. It gives me tons of volume and lasts all day for me. My lips are Scarlet from a "Best Sellers Lip Palette" by Bobby Brown. My eye shadow is Vex by MAC.  

I hope you enjoyed this look!

Couture Style With Killer Boots!

I have come across some brand new styles I have never thought in my life would look well together, especially with these boots. I don't wear these boots often only because I never knew how to style them. Having knee high boots, it's kind of hard pairing them with a pair of jeans or tights (Because they buckle at the top) or even with a skirt (Without looking "slutty"). I came across the 2009 issue of Nylon Magazine with Lindsay Lohan, and fell in love with a look similar to this one. 

For a night out in the summer, this look would be daring and bold but well worth it! 

Pairing these boots with a cute pair of shorts can make this look more wild! The style of these boots is that I can fold them as well, but I prefer them as high as I can get them. Pairing it with a cute top and a vest (Which is optional) you can complete this daring couture look. 

And for those chilly nights, I added a baggy blazer type shirt just to add some pattern and color. 

My makeup is very simple. In the summer I don't wear a lot of makeup especially on hot summer days because I would just sweat it all off. I do like the bold color lip and in this look I am wearing Lickable by MAC.

Remember, being bold is being beautiful and wearing these boots will be one bold move!

Where Did The Sun Go?

Hello again! Sorry I haven't been posting as many blogs as I would like to be posting right now, I am swamped at school. But now that school has calmed down again I can concentrate on my blog more! It is already June ( I don't know where all the time went) and summer is around the corner! The weather here in Vancouver is not cooperating with anyone right now, so it has been rainy/cloudy for a bit now. Today's outfit was appropriate for the weather outside and it still kept me warm. 

I dis some shopping a few weeks ago to update my summer wardrobe and I picked this pretty cropped stripe blazer. I love it because I notice I have a lot of high wasted things in my closet and having a cropped blazer gives me a more flattering shape rather then wearing a long sweater. 

Pastel colors are in this summer, so I paired this look with a coral pleated high wasted maxi skirt and a tank top underneath my blazer. 

I got this choker necklace a few weeks ago and I love it for the summer! Gold goes with everything and I wear this necklace almost everyday. 

My makeup I kept simple and added a bright red lip (MAC Russian Red). I love this look for the summer because its natural and wont really sweat off on those hot summer days. 

Wardrobe: 

Blazer: Macy's $35.00US

Top: Delia's $15.00US

Skirt: Forever21 $24.99CAD

Necklace: Forever21 $15.00CAD

Patterns For The Summer

I love patterns, but I sometimes have trouble matching them together. This outfit is new and I love it! It is so breathable and easy to wear out on a beautiful summer day! 

I did some bargain shopping this past week and found some great summer outfits! Now I have a good summer wardrobe that I can mix up and actually look nice. 

Stripes can go with almost anything, so i paired it with this coral polka dot one piece. This is a great outfit for a night out or even just for the day. Both pieces are super comfy and versatile. 

This one piece is sleeveless and easy to move in. I find it hard to find one pieces that are either too long or not fitting the way I want them to fit. But this piece fits me perfectly and I find it so comfortable. 

The back on this is so pretty. it opens up and shows a little back just for a little taste. 

My mom and sister bought me this gorgeous studded gold bracelet.  I fell in love with this and now I wear it with everything! 

My makeup I kept really natural with a pop of lip by Giorgio Armani 40. I recently got a new face powder by Korres. It is called the Mineral Foundation Finish Powder in Amber. I love this powder and it gives a little more coverage after I apply my foundation which I like and it is all natural.

Blazer: Macy's $35.00US

One Piece: Urban Planet $20.00CAD

Studded Bracelet: Forever21 $10.00CAD

Makeup For Friday Night

My personal MUA <3

Hello my gorgeous ladies and gents! I am going to do a breakdown of my sisters makeup for her night out. The makeup that I did is inspired by Kim Kardashian (photo below), but tailored for a darker skin tone. Patty has a beautiful deeper skin shade (NC45) and I thought it would be fun to try this look on her. I hope you all enjoy. xoxo

Face:
I first primed Patty's face with Amazing Cosmetics Anti-Aging primer and then I put on the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation and MAC's studio finish concealer in NC45. I set her face using Nars loose powder in Mountain and highlighted using Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating powder in Starlight. 


Eyes:
I used more golden tones than silver so that her lids wouldn't look ashy. I started out with Honesty on the lids and I blended Au Contraire and Shale on the outer corners. I took some Black Tied and Carbon and blended it in a v-shape towards the outer corners and lashline. Finally, I cut the crease using Brun and just blended that down towards the lids. All eye shadows are by MAC. I lined her lids with Loreal's Carbon Intense Lineur and used Stila's eyeliner in Stingray for the inner rims of her eyes. Lastly I applied Ardell 105 lashes (cut in half) on the outer corners of her eyes. 


Brows: 
I filled in her brows using MAC's brow pencil in spiked and used Naked Lunch eye shadow by MAC on the brow bone. 


Lips:
This look was mainly about the bold lip color and for Patty's lips I used Lickable by MAC.  

I think this look could work for anyone and it would be fun to put your own little twist to it. Thank you for reading :)

Thursday Shopping Day OOTD

Today I went to the mall and was disappointed in the summer selection at the stores. All the stores that I go to regularly, didn't have anything I liked so nothing new for me :( I did though, wear a killer outfit that I actually loved after I put it on.

I found this old button up silk shirt in my closest and decided to start wearing it again. It actually goes with a lot of different things and I can make some new outfits with this cute shirt! 

I paired it with my maxi skirt and some boots to complete this look and to go with the sunny weather. 

I thought this outfit needed some love, so I added this old heart choke necklace that I never really wore but decided to give it a try. 

Finding things that you haven't worn in a while is a great thing because you can make some new outfits without spending money! I call it shopping in your closet, you guys should try it out, you never know what you will find. 

My makeup was something I don't do on the regular basis. I did a bit of a smokey eye with a nude lipstick, something a little different for me. I used a blue shadow called Deep Truth by MAC underneath and on my lid for a smokey effect and Goldbit by MAC as a highlighter. My lips are Polished up by MAC as well. For darker skin I found this lipstick color the best for me as a nude, its not to light and not to dark. 

Wardrobe: 

Shirt: Jacob Clothing: $15.00CAD (on sale)

Skirt: Forever21 $24.00CAD

Boots: Aldo $49.00CAD

Necklace: Vintage 

I hope you enjoy this look!
