Bordeaux

IMG_6436 IMG_6395 IMG_6425

I know I have been “absent” for a short while. Busy with early Christmas shopping, birthdays, work and more work, meeting with friends for Starbucks runs, reading, writing, theatres, dinners and well….life in general! This morning started off with some raisin toast and cream cheese and coffee (woke up extra late today)…then decided I need to reorganize…again! When I was looking through the mama’s closet (we were both sorting through out things and doing a “winter cleaning” if you will)….I remembered this jacket by Elie Tahari that she picked up at Holt Renfrew Last Call for a massive discount price of $60 I think? It reminded me of the lip colour I have been obsessed with lately which is Bordeaux by Rimmel. I picked it up at Shoppers a while ago for $3…I think Rexall is having a sale on a lot of items as well…I just recently discovered NYX which I previously could only find in the US!

Also loving Urban Decay’s Smoke out pencil- I would not recommend this as a regular liner but for those who want to achieve a smoky powdered eye shadow look without the complication (its a lot more precise…then you just smudge it out with the tip).

well…I am off to watch a movie and go for some coffee with the lovely fiancĂ©es parents ;) …check back as I will have some more outfit posts for you guys soon! Hope you all had a great weekend! xox

Blazer: Elie Tahari, Skirt: UB (had a stretchy leather like waist band…. I love it…and love the fact that it was $20 even more!), Top: Talulah, Blue dress shirt: Thrifted, Tights: Wal Mart, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Necklace: F21, Bag: Topshop
